+# Contributing
+
+Thanks for your interest in contributing to this repository!
+
+## What This Is
+
+This repo archives the **leaked source code** of Anthropic's Claude Code CLI. Contributions here are about **documentation, tooling, and exploration aids** — not modifying the original Claude Code source.
+
+## What You Can Contribute
+
+- **Documentation** — Improve or expand the [docs/](docs/) directory
+- **MCP Server** — Enhance the exploration MCP server in [mcp-server/](mcp-server/)
+- **Analysis** — Write-ups, architecture diagrams, or annotated walkthroughs
+- **Tooling** — Scripts or tools that aid in studying the source code
+- **Bug fixes** — Fix issues in the MCP server or supporting infrastructure
+
+## What Not to Change
+
+- **`src/` directory** — This is the original leaked source, preserved as-is. Don't modify it.
+- The [`backup` branch](https://github.com/codeaashu/claude-code/tree/backup) contains the unmodified original.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- **Node.js** 18+ (for the MCP server)
+- **Git**
+
+### Setup
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/codeaashu/claude-code.git
+cd claude-code
+```
+
+### MCP Server Development
+
+```bash
+cd mcp-server
+npm install
+npm run dev    # Run with tsx (no build step)
+npm run build  # Compile to dist/
+```
+
+### Linting & Type Checking
+
+```bash
+# From the repo root — checks the leaked src/
+npm run lint        # Biome lint
+npm run typecheck   # TypeScript type check
+```
+
+## Code Style
+
+For any new code (MCP server, tooling, scripts):
+
+- TypeScript with strict mode
+- ES modules
+- 2-space indentation (tabs for `src/` to match Biome config)
+- Descriptive variable names, minimal comments
