Summary

  • Replace legacy README contributing links with the repository-local CONTRIBUTING.md
  • Update the PRs Welcome badge target to the same canonical contributing guide

Why

The README currently points contributors to legacy docs for contribution instructions. Linking to the maintained repository guide keeps onboarding current and self-contained.

How did you test this change?

  • Manual review of rendered README links in the diff
  • Verified all updated links point to ./CONTRIBUTING.md

Scope

Docs-only changes. No runtime behavior impact.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the root README to stop linking to the legacy “how to contribute” documentation URLs and instead point contributing-related links (including the “PRs Welcome” badge) at the repository-local CONTRIBUTING.md.

Changes:

  • Updated the “PRs Welcome” badge link target to ./CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • Replaced legacy contributing guide links in the Documentation and Contributing sections with ./CONTRIBUTING.md.

💡 Add a code-review agent skill or configure MCP servers for context-aware, tailored reviews. Learn more in the docs.

Thanks for the review. Clarifying intent: this PR is strictly a README link-consistency update (pointing contributing references to the repository entry point).

I’m not changing the contents of CONTRIBUTING.md in this PR to keep scope minimal and focused.

Friendly follow-up: docs-only scope here.

If maintainers prefer, I can update the target link choice in a follow-up patch right away.
