+# Contributing to UltraCore RFT
+
+Thank you for your interest in this project.
+
+## What this repository is
+
+UltraCore RFT is a **documentation and research reference repository**.
+All executable code lives in the companion implementation repository:
+
+**→ [RFT-SIRM/Rift-Network](https://github.com/RFT-SIRM/Rift-Network)**
+
+## How to open an issue
+
+1. Go to the [Issues tab](https://github.com/RFT-SIRM/UltraCore-RFT/issues).
+2. Click **New issue**.
+3. Describe the problem clearly: what page, what section, what is incorrect.
+4. For implementation issues, open them in [Rift-Network](https://github.com/RFT-SIRM/Rift-Network/issues).
+
+## How to propose a documentation change
+
+1. Fork the repository.
+2. Create a branch: `git checkout -b fix/your-description`.
+3. Edit the relevant Markdown file under `docs/` or `README.md`.
+4. Verify locally: `pip install -r requirements.txt && mkdocs build --strict`
+5. Open a Pull Request against `main`.
+
+## What we do not accept
+
+- Changes to `RFT_MATHEMATICAL_FOUNDATIONS.md` — intentionally stable.
+- Code contributions — those belong in Rift-Network.
