+### Contribution guidelines
+
+- Avoid exposing unwanted APIs publicly
+- Make sure the APIs provide certain guarantees about what they return
+- Leave concurrency to the caller, an API if using concurrency internally must leave the decision to invoke it concurrently to the caller. Your APIs should be as simple as a function / method which takes in args and returns a value. Make sure to document it if an API blocks forever, like the `ziggurat.Run` function.
+- Keep configuration minimum and leave the decisions on the user
+- Do not write an interface first and then implement, write a struct first and add your methods, **discover interfaces do not invent them**. A premature abstraction is mostly going to be a leaky one.
+- Last but not the least, Keep it simple stupid.
