+# Contribution Guidelines
+
+This directory contains AI instructions extracted from RFC (Request for Comments) discussions that have been approved and landed in the project.
+
+## How It Works
+
+This directory is automatically maintained by the GitHub Actions workflow `.github/workflows/generate-claude-md.yml`. The workflow:
+
+1. Monitors discussions in the "Contribution RFC" category
+2. When a discussion receives the `RFC:Landed` label, its "## AI Instructions" section is extracted
+3. Creates/updates a markdown file in this directory with the extracted content
+4. Generates the root `CLAUDE.md` file with links to all RFC files
+5. Creates a PR for human review
+
+## File Naming Convention
+
+RFC files are named based on the discussion title:
+- Convert to lowercase
+- Replace spaces with hyphens
+- Remove special characters
+
+Example: "Testing Strategy" → `testing-strategy.md`
+
+## Structure
+
+Each RFC file contains:
+- Title of the RFC as a header
+- AI Instructions extracted from the discussion
+
+## Adding New RFCs
+
+To add a new RFC to this system:
+
+1. Create or edit a discussion in the "Contribution RFC" category
+2. Add a section titled `## AI Instructions` with the guidance for AI coding assistants
+3. Add the `RFC:Landed` label to the discussion
+4. The workflow will automatically create a PR with the changes
+
+## Removing RFCs
+
+To remove an RFC:
+1. Remove the `RFC:Landed` label from the discussion
+2. The workflow will automatically create a PR that removes the file
+
+## Manual Updates
+
+While files are auto-generated, if you need to make manual corrections:
+1. Edit the source discussion on GitHub
+2. The workflow will regenerate the files on the next trigger

+### AI Coding Guidelines
+
+This repository uses AI-assisted coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, etc.). To help these tools generate better code:
+
+- **CLAUDE.md**: Contains aggregated contribution guidelines extracted from approved RFCs
+- **Contribution RFCs**: Guidelines are sourced from discussions in the [Contribution RFC category](https://github.com/akash-network/console/discussions/categories/contribution-rfc)
+- **Auto-Generated**: The CLAUDE.md file is automatically generated when RFC discussions receive the `RFC:Landed` label
+
+To contribute new AI guidelines:
+1. Create a discussion in the "Contribution RFC" category
+2. Include a section titled `## AI Instructions` with guidance for AI coding assistants
+3. Once approved, add the `RFC:Landed` label
+4. The guidelines will be automatically added to CLAUDE.md
+
+See [`.contribution-guidelines/README.md`](./.contribution-guidelines/README.md) for more details.
+
 *That your commitment to following these specs will make a difference.*
