We welcome outside contributions to Kernel Design Agents through GitHub issues and pull requests.
For substantial changes to KDA itself, open an issue first so the proposed scope and approach can be discussed. Kernel wishlist submissions can go directly to a pull request as described below. Keep changes focused, use English for repository-facing content, and include any validation or supporting evidence relevant to the change.
Submit kernel optimization requests directly as pull requests (PRs) targeting wishlist; no issue is required. Follow the submission guide, copy the example into requests/<github-username>-<kernel-name>/, and keep the request details in that directory's README.md. The PR description can be brief and may link an existing discussion. The wishlist currently supports NVIDIA B200 and B300 GPUs only.
If you have an idea or need help preparing the files, discuss a kernel idea. Complete files and benchmark results are optional for that discussion. Merging a wishlist PR records the request; optimization progress and result links are tracked on the original PR.
Changes to the active issue form belong on main, and website changes belong on pages.
