# Contributing The Crypt is an open-source project. If you want to contribute to the project, this section is here to guide you through your first steps with the Crypt team. Before starting any development, we highly encourage you to submit an issue on Github in order to discuss the problem, and the solution with the team. If you want to reach out to the dev team directly, contact **@hari seldon** on Telegram --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://0xcryptfi.gitbook.io/the-crypt/roadmap/contributing.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
