# How to contribute

We accept patches and contributions to this collection of ADK
recipes — small, runnable agents built with the
[Agent Development Kit](https://adk.dev).

## Contribute a recipe

Recipes live in two roots: [`core/`](./core/), curated by the
`agents-cli` team, and [`contrib/`](./contrib/), the community
root. Send new work to `contrib/`.

Start with the [contributor guide](./docs/README.md). It routes
you to the [recipe checklist](./docs/recipe-checklist.md) — the
one-page path from empty folder to PR — and to the
[recipe handbook](./docs/recipe-handbook/README.md) for context
and reference.
