+# AutoGPT Contribution Guide
+If you are reading this, you are probably looking for our **[contribution guide]**,
+which is part of our [knowledge base].
-We would like to say "We value all contributions". After all, we are an open-source project, so we should say something fluffy like this, right?
+You can find our immediate priorities and their progress on our public [kanban board].
-However the reality is that some contributions are SUPER-valuable, while others create more trouble than they are worth and actually _create_ work for the core team.

-If you wish to contribute, please look through the wiki [contributing](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/Nexus/wiki/Contributing) page.
+## In short
+1. Avoid duplicate work, issues, PRs etc.
+2. We encourage you to collaborate with fellow community members on some of our bigger
+ [todo's][kanban board]!
+ * We highly recommend to post your idea and discuss it in the [dev channel].
+4. Create a draft PR when starting work on bigger changes.
+3. Please also consider contributing something other than code; see the
+ [contribution guide] for options.
+5. Clearly explain your changes when submitting a PR.
+6. Don't submit stuff that's broken.
+7. Avoid making unnecessary changes, especially if they're purely based on your personal
+ preferences. Doing so is the maintainers' job. ;-)
