Ground rules (main repo)

The development guidelines and code standards live in AGENTS.md at the repo root. The short version:

  • English for all code, comments and commit messages.
  • Conventional Commits (feat:, fix:, refactor:, docs:, …).
  • Feature branches + pull requests — never commit directly to main.
  • Run the quality gate before committing — lint, static analysis and the full test suites run inside the Docker containers via the make targets.

Development setup, commands and architecture notes: docs/DEVELOPMENT.md.

Writing plugins

Synaplan has a non-invasive plugin system, so you can extend the platform without forking it. Architecture, the plugin manifest, and an install walkthrough are on the Plugins & Integrations page (see For developers: the plugin architecture).
