+# Contributing to PokeBuddy CLI
+
+Thanks for helping improve PokeBuddy CLI.
+
+This project is meant to feel delightful, original and developer-native. We welcome code, docs, companion ideas, ASCII/ANSI art, plugins and bug reports.
+
+## Development setup
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/pokebuddy-cli/pokebuddy.git
+cd pokebuddy
+npm install
+npm link
+pokebuddy hatch
+```
+
+Run checks:
+
+```bash
+npm test
+npm run lint
+```
+
+## Contribution areas
+
+You can contribute:
+

+- bug fixes.
+
+## Not allowed
+
+Do not contribute:
