+# Contributing to Enchantrix
+
+First off, thank you for considering contributing to Enchantrix! It's people like you that make open source such a great community.
+
+## Where do I go from here?
+
+If you've noticed a bug or have a feature request, [make one](https://github.com/Snider/Enchantrix/issues/new)! It's generally best if you get confirmation of your bug or approval for your feature request this way before starting to code.
+
+### Fork & create a branch
+
+If this is something you think you can fix, then [fork Enchantrix](https://github.com/Snider/Enchantrix/fork) and create a branch with a descriptive name.
+
+A good branch name would be (where issue #38 is the ticket you're working on):
+
+```sh
+git checkout -b 38-add-awesome-new-feature
+```
+
+## Getting started
+
+### Development Environment
+
+To get started with development, you'll need to have Go 1.25 installed on your system, as specified in the `go.mod` file. You can download it from the official [Go website](https://go.dev/dl/).
+
+Once you have Go installed, you can clone your fork of the repository:
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/Enchantrix.git
+cd Enchantrix
+```
+
+### Running Tests
+
+Enchantrix uses the standard Go testing tools. To run all tests, use the following command from the root of the repository:
+
+```sh
+go test ./...
+```
+
+To run tests with race detection, which is recommended:
+
+```sh
+go test -race ./...
+```
+
+To generate a coverage report:
+
+```sh
+go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
+```
+
+## Code Style
+
+This project follows standard Go coding conventions. Please ensure your code is formatted with `gofmt` before submitting a pull request. Most IDEs can be configured to do this automatically on save.
+
+```sh
+gofmt -w .
+```
+
+## Submitting a Pull Request
+
+When you're ready to submit a pull request, please make sure you do the following:
+
+1.  **Write tests.** Your patch won't be accepted if it doesn't have tests.
+2.  **Follow the style guide.** Your code should be formatted with `gofmt`.
+3.  **Write a good commit message.** A good commit message should be descriptive and concise.
+4.  **Push to your fork** and submit a pull request.
+5.  **Ensure the test suite passes.** The CI pipeline will run the tests, and your PR will not be merged if the tests are failing.
+
+We'll review your pull request as soon as possible. We may suggest some changes or improvements or approve it as is.

+# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
+
+This page answers some of the most common questions about Enchantrix.
+
+## General
+
+### What is the purpose of the .trix container format?
+
+The .trix format is a generic binary container designed to hold a payload and associated metadata. It is protocol-agnostic, meaning it can be used to store any type of data. Its primary purpose is to provide a flexible and extensible format for data that may need to be transformed or encrypted.
+
+### What are Sigils?
+
+Sigils are the core concept of the Enchantrix transformation framework. Each Sigil represents a single, reversible data transformation, such as encoding, compression, or hashing. They can be chained together to create powerful and flexible transformation pipelines.
+
+## Development
+
+### How do I add a new Sigil?
+
+To add a new Sigil, you need to create a new struct that implements the `enchantrix.Sigil` interface. This involves implementing the `In()` and `Out()` methods. Once your Sigil is implemented, you can add it to the `enchantrix.NewSigil()` factory function.
+
+### Can I use my own magic number for the .trix format?
+
+Yes, the `trix.Encode()` and `trix.Decode()` functions accept a custom 4-byte magic number string. This allows you to create your own application-specific file formats based on the .trix container.

+# Troubleshooting
+
+This page provides solutions to common problems you might encounter while using Enchantrix.
+
+## CLI
+
+### `command not found: trix`
+
+This error means that the `trix` binary is not in your system's `PATH`. When you install Go binaries with `go install`, they are placed in the `GOBIN` directory, which is typically `$GOPATH/bin`.
+
+To fix this, you need to add your Go binary path to your shell's `PATH` variable. Add the following line to your shell's configuration file (e.g., `~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`):
+
+```sh
+export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin
+```
+
+Then, restart your shell or source the configuration file for the changes to take effect.
+
+## Library
+
+### `trix: invalid magic number`
+
+This error occurs when you try to decode a `.trix` file with a magic number that does not match the one that was used to encode it. The magic number is a 4-byte string that acts as a file format identifier.
+
+To fix this, ensure that you are using the same magic number for both `trix.Encode()` and `trix.Decode()`.
+
+### `trix: checksum mismatch`
+
+This error indicates that the payload of the `.trix` container has been corrupted or altered since it was created. The checksum is a hash of the payload that is stored in the header to verify data integrity.
+
+If you encounter this error, the data you are trying to read is not the same as the data that was originally written.
