## Suggesting new features

If you are here to suggest a feature, first create an issue if it does not already exist. From there, we will discuss use-cases for the feature and then finally discuss how it could be implemented.

## Pull Request Guidelines

Every pull request must follow the [TanStack Pacer pull request template](.github/pull_request_template.md). Complete its description and checklist without removing or bypassing the required sections.

- Search the [open and closed pull requests](https://github.com/TanStack/pacer/pulls?q=is%3Apr) before starting work to avoid duplicating an existing contribution.
- Keep each pull request focused on one change or topic. Pull requests that combine unrelated changes will be closed with a request to split them into separately reviewable contributions.
- Write a concise description that clearly explains what changed and why. Follow the sections in the pull request template; a long, unstructured description makes a contribution harder to review.
- You may use AI tools to help generate code, but you remain responsible for understanding, testing, and verifying every submitted change. Do not submit unreviewed, low-quality, or irrelevant generated code.
- Do not mass-submit unrelated or low-quality AI-generated pull requests. We treat that behavior as spam and may close the pull requests, block the contributor, and report the GitHub account.

## Development

- Document your changes in the appropriate documentation website markdown pages

- Create a changeset (changelog entry) for your changes by running `pnpm changeset`
- Every change that affects a published package must include a changeset. Create the changelog entry with `pnpm changeset`; documentation, CI, and development-only changes do not require one.
