+## Contributing to this package
+Thank you for your interest in contributing!
+
+Below is a 'quick start' guide to developing. If there are details
+that we are missing here, feel free to file an issue or correct mistakes!
+
+### Building
+We use `yarn`, and you should too if you plan to add or remove any npm packages.
+
+```
+# installs 3rd party dependencies
+yarn install
+
+# runs typescript and outputs in ./dist
+yarn build
+
+# runs the unit tests
+yarn test
+
+# runs our linter
+yarn lint
+```
+
+The `build` and `test` command have a `--watch` option that will intelligently re-run when files change.
+
+### Pull Request
+We will happily accept pull requests of any kind. Be sure that the tests
+pass and that the linter is happy before filling a PR, otherwise we'll
+need to tell you to fix those issues.
+
+If you are adding anything new or changing behavior, please add applicable tests.
