+## Code of Conduct
+
+Please read and follow our [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) to keep our community welcoming and respectful.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. **Fork the repository** on GitHub
+2. **Clone your fork** locally:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/bambuddy.git
+   cd bambuddy
+   ```
+3. **Add the upstream remote**:
+   ```bash
+   git remote add upstream https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy.git
+   ```
+
+## Development Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.10+ (3.11/3.12 recommended)
+- Node.js 18+
+- npm or yarn
+
+### Backend Setup
+
+```bash
+# Create virtual environment
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
+
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Install pre-commit hooks
+pip install pre-commit
+pre-commit install
+
+# Run backend
+DEBUG=true uvicorn backend.app.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
+```
+
+### Frontend Setup
+
+```bash
+cd frontend
+
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Run development server
+npm run dev
+```
+
+The frontend will be available at `http://localhost:5173` and will proxy API requests to the backend.
+
+### Running with Docker
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d --build
+```
+
+## Making Changes
+
+1. **Create a branch** for your changes:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
+   # or
+   git checkout -b fix/your-bug-fix
+   ```
+
+2. **Make your changes** following our code style guidelines
+
+3. **Test your changes** thoroughly
+
+4. **Commit your changes** with clear, descriptive messages:
+   ```bash
+   git commit -m "Add feature: description of what you added"
+   ```
+
+### Branch Naming
+
+- `feature/` - New features
+- `fix/` - Bug fixes
+- `docs/` - Documentation changes
+- `refactor/` - Code refactoring
+- `test/` - Test additions or fixes
+
+## Code Style
+
+### Backend (Python)
+
+We use [Ruff](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff) for linting and formatting:
+
+```bash
+# Check linting
+ruff check .
+
+# Auto-fix issues
+ruff check --fix .
+
+# Format code
+ruff format .
+```
+
+### Frontend (TypeScript/React)
+
+We use ESLint and Prettier:
+
+```bash
+cd frontend
+
+# Lint
+npm run lint
+
+# Type check
+npm run type-check
+```
+
+### Pre-commit Hooks
+
+Pre-commit hooks run automatically on `git commit`. To run manually:
+
+```bash
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Backend Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+pytest
+
+# Run with coverage
+pytest --cov=backend
+
+# Run specific test file
+pytest backend/app/tests/test_example.py
+```
+
+### Frontend Tests
+
+```bash
+cd frontend
+
+# Run tests
+npm test
+
+# Run with coverage
+npm run test:coverage
+```
+
+## Submitting Changes
+
+1. **Push your branch** to your fork:
+   ```bash
+   git push origin feature/your-feature-name
+   ```
+
+2. **Create a Pull Request** on GitHub:
+   - Use a clear, descriptive title
+   - Fill out the PR template completely
+   - Link any related issues
+   - Include screenshots for UI changes
+
+3. **Wait for review** - maintainers will review your PR and may request changes
+
+### PR Guidelines
+
+- Keep PRs focused and reasonably sized
+- One feature or fix per PR
+- Update documentation if needed
+- Add tests for new functionality
+- Ensure all tests pass
+- Follow the existing code style
+
+## Reporting Bugs
+
+Use the [Bug Report template](https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy/issues/new?template=bug_report.yml) and include:
+
+- Clear description of the bug
+- Steps to reproduce
+- Expected vs actual behavior
+- Your environment (OS, Python version, browser)
+- Printer model and firmware version
+- Relevant logs
+
+## Requesting Features
+
+Use the [Feature Request template](https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy/issues/new?template=feature_request.yml) and include:
+

+# Security Policy
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+The Bambuddy team takes security seriously. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose your findings.
+
+### How to Report
+
+**Please DO NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.**
+
+Instead, please report them via email to:
+
+**security@bambuddy.cool**
+
+Or use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting feature:
+1. Go to the [Security tab](https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy/security)
+2. Click "Report a vulnerability"
+3. Fill out the form with details
+
+### What to Include
+
+Please include the following information in your report:
+
+- **Description** of the vulnerability
+- **Steps to reproduce** the issue
+- **Affected versions** of Bambuddy
+- **Potential impact** of the vulnerability
+- **Any suggested fixes** (if you have them)
+
+### What to Expect
+
+- **Acknowledgment**: We will acknowledge receipt of your report within 48 hours
+- **Assessment**: We will investigate and validate the issue within 7 days
+- **Updates**: We will keep you informed of our progress
+- **Resolution**: We aim to release a fix within 30 days for critical issues
+- **Credit**: We will credit you in our release notes (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)
+
+## Supported Versions
+
+| Version | Supported          |
+| ------- | ------------------ |
+| 0.1.x   | :white_check_mark: |
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Network Security
+
+Bambuddy communicates with your printers over your local network using:
+
+- **MQTT over TLS** (port 8883) - Encrypted printer communication
+- **FTPS** (port 990) - Encrypted file transfers
+
+### Recommendations
+
+1. **Run on trusted network**: Bambuddy should only be accessible on your local network
+2. **Use reverse proxy**: If exposing to the internet, use a reverse proxy with HTTPS
+3. **Keep updated**: Always run the latest version for security patches
+4. **Secure API keys**: Treat API keys like passwords; don't share them publicly
+5. **LAN Mode**: Use your printer's LAN Mode access code; don't share it
+
+### Known Security Features
+
+- API key authentication for external access
+- No default credentials
+- Local-only by default (no cloud dependency)
+- TLS encryption for printer communication
+
+## Scope
+
+The following are **in scope** for security reports:
+
+- Authentication/authorization bypasses
+- Remote code execution
+- SQL injection
+- Cross-site scripting (XSS)
+- Cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
+- Sensitive data exposure
+- Insecure direct object references
+
+The following are **out of scope**:
+
+- Issues in dependencies (report to the upstream project)
+- Social engineering attacks
+- Physical attacks
+- Denial of service (DoS) attacks
+- Issues requiring physical access to the server
+
