description: How to help — and the golden rules that keep Codemble honest.
---

Codemble is built in public. Issues, PRs, and galaxy screenshots are all
welcome: start at [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/udhawan97/Codemble/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).

The short version — five golden rules:

1. Never invent structure; parsers decide, the LLM narrates.
2. Check answers come from the graph, not the model.
3. The learner cannot detect our mistakes, so accuracy beats delight.
4. Semantic zoom only; no game logic in the renderer.
5. Small diffs; the project runs end-to-end after every merge.

Especially valuable early: trying Codemble on your own AI-built Python,
JavaScript, TypeScript, or mixed project and filing an issue for anything it
gets wrong — a wrong explanation is a top-severity bug, not a nitpick.
