+# Contributor Quickstart Guide
+
+## Repository Layout
+- `temporal-sdk`: core SDK implementation.
+- `temporal-testing`: utilities to help write workflow and activity tests.
+- `temporal-test-server`: in-memory Temporal server for fast tests.
+- `temporal-serviceclient`: gRPC client for communicating with the service.
+- `temporal-shaded`: prepackaged version of the SDK with shaded dependencies.
+- `temporal-spring-boot-autoconfigure`: Spring Boot auto configuration.
+- `temporal-kotlin`: Kotlin DSL for the SDK.
+- `temporal-opentracing`: OpenTracing interceptor integration.
+
+## General Guidance
+- Avoid changing public API signatures. Anything under an `internal` directory
+  is not part of the public API and may change freely.
+- The SDK code is written for Java 8.
+
+## Building and Testing
+1. Format the code before committing:
+   ```bash
+   ./gradlew --offline spotlessApply
+   ```
+2. Run the tests. This can take a long time so you may prefer to run individual tests.
+   ```bash
+   ./gradlew test
+   ```
+   To run only the core SDK tests or a single test:
+   ```bash
+   ./gradlew :temporal-sdk:test --offline --tests "io.temporal.workflow.*"
+   ./gradlew :temporal-sdk:test --offline --tests "<package.ClassName>"
+   ```
+3. Build the project:
+   ```bash
+   ./gradlew clean build
+   ```
+
+## Tests
+- All tests for this each package is located in `$PACKAGE_NAME/src/test/java/io/temporal`, where `$PACKAGE_NAME` is the name of the package
+- Workflow API tests should rely on `SDKTestWorkflowRule` to create a worker and
+  register workflows, activities, and nexus services.
+
+## Commit Messages and Pull Requests
+- Follow the [Chris Beams](http://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/) style for
+  commit messages.
+- Every pull request should answer:
+  - **What changed?**
+  - **Why?**
+  - **Breaking changes?**
+  - **Server PR** (if the change requires a coordinated server update)
+- Comments should be complete sentences and end with a period.
+
+## Review Checklist
+- `./gradlew spotlessCheck` must pass.
+- All tests from `./gradlew test` must succeed.
+- Add new tests for any new feature or bug fix.
+- Update documentation for user facing changes.
+
+For more details see `CONTRIBUTING.md` in the repository root.

+This directory contains the core Temporal SDK code, which is used to build Temporal applications. The SDK provides a set of APIs and libraries that allow developers to create, manage, and execute workflows and activities in a distributed environment. The SDK is designed to be easy to use and provides a high-level abstraction over the underlying Temporal service.
+
+The SDK is written in Java and is designed to be used with the Temporal service. It provides a set of APIs for defining workflows and activities, as well as for managing the execution of those workflows and activities.
+
+# Testing
+
+All tests are written using JUnit4.
