+
+## Ground rules
+
+- **A test that cannot fail proves nothing.** If you fix a bug, add a test
+  that fails without your fix, and check that it does fail before you submit.
+- Measure, do not assume. Two modules with the same line count can be
+  different programs.
+- Keep dependencies minimal. Every new dependency needs a reason.
+- Explain why in comments, not what.
+
+## Before you open a merge request
+
+Run both of these and make sure they pass:
+
+```
+npm run build
+npm test
+```
