Summary
Add a new CONTRIBUTORS.md at the repository root that documents our contribution policy going forward: we accept issues, not pull requests. Design and implementation are done by the maintainers. When a contributor has already built a fix or feature locally, they should share the prompt they used to produce it — not the source code.
Why
The Inspector v2 is developed with an AI-assisted, prompt-driven workflow with a consistent architecture, design system, and testing gates (see AGENTS.md). Accepting raw source PRs creates friction: they must be reverse-engineered to fit our component/theme conventions, coverage gates, and review process. Capturing the intent (a well-formed issue) or the prompt that generated a local change lets us reproduce the work within our own pipeline and standards.
Requirements
Create CONTRIBUTORS.md (root) covering:
Notes
- Keep the tone welcoming — contributors are valued; the policy is about channeling their input into a form we can act on efficiently.
- Consider whether a GitHub PR template /
CONTRIBUTING.md redirect is also warranted to steer would-be PR authors to this policy (optional follow-up).
