# 💪 Interested in contributing?
Nice! Please read the few sections below to understand how to implement new features.
## 👨‍💻 Extending *metrics*
Be sure to read [ARCHITECTURE.md](/ARCHITECTURE.md) first to understand how `metrics` is structured and to follow [`🔧 Local setup for development`](.github/readme/partials/documentation/setup/local.md) to get a working development environment!
Before working on something, ensure that it will not duplicate any active open pull requests (including drafts).
It is advised to open a [`💬 discussion`](https://github.com/lowlighter/metrics/discussions) first to gather feedback about new features.
> ⚠️ To avoid an ever-growing backlog, inactive pull requests will be closed after 3 weeks and locked after 5 weeks.
> 😅 Be positive! Even if your changes don't get merged in [lowlighter/metrics](https://github.com/lowlighter/metrics), please don't be too sad, you will always be able to run workflows directly from your fork!
