+## Branch Naming
+
+Branches follow this pattern:
+<your-username>/<type>/<short-description>
+
+`<type>` is one of:
+
+- `feat/` — new feature
+- `fix/` — bug fix
+- `chore/` — maintenance, tooling, dependencies
+- `docs/` — documentation only
+- `refactor/` — code change that isn't a fix or a feature
+- `test/` — adding or fixing tests
+
+If your branch addresses one or more issues, include the issue number(s) in the description:
+feat/issues-986-987-988-frontend-accessibility
+
+fix/issue-966-fee-calculation-overflow
+
+## Commit Message Format
+
+Commits follow [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/):
+<type>(<scope>): <description>
+
+`<type>` must be one of:
+
+- `feat` — new feature
+- `fix` — bug fix
+- `docs` — documentation only
+- `style` — formatting, no code meaning change
+- `refactor` — code change that isn't a fix or a feature
+- `perf` — performance improvement
+- `test` — adding or fixing tests
+- `build` — build system or dependencies
+- `ci` — CI configuration
+- `chore` — anything else maintenance-related
+- `security` — security fix
+
+`<scope>` is optional and usually the area touched, e.g. `frontend`, `contract`.
+
+Reference issue numbers in the description when relevant:
+feat(frontend): add CSV export button to AuditTable
+
+fix(contract): integer overflow in fee calculation for large deposits #966
+
+docs: add CONTRIBUTING.md with branch and commit conventions
