## Contribution Guidelines

When adding new feedback:

1. **Follow the format:**
   - Model/Topic header
   - Source references with URLs
   - What worked / What didn't
   - Specific issues encountered

2. **Include dates:** When was the feedback collected?

3. **Categorize correctly:**
   - `frontier/` for closed-weight models (GPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.)
   - `localllm/` for open-weight models (Qwen, Llama, Mistral, etc.)

4. **Update README.md:** If adding major new categories
