-# Telemetry Events
-
-PowerToys collects limited telemetry to understand feature usage, reliability, and product quality. When adding a new telemetry event, follow the steps below to ensure the event is properly declared, documented, and available after release.
-
-**⚠️ Important**: Telemetry must never include personal information, file paths, or user‑generated content.
-
-## Developer Effort Overview (What to Expect)
-
-Adding a telemetry event is a **multi-step process** that typically spans several areas of the codebase and documentation.
-
-At a high level, developers should expect to:
-
-1. Within one PR:
-    1. Add a new telemetry event(s) to module
-    1. Add the new event(s) DATA_AND_PRIVACY.md
-1. Reach out to @carlos-zamora or @chatasweetie so internal scripts can process new event(s)
-
-### Privacy Guidelines
-
-**NEVER** log:
-
- User data (text, files, emails, etc.)
- File paths or filenames
- Personal information
- Sensitive system information
- Anything that could identify a specific user
-
-DO log:
-
- Feature usage (which features, how often)
- Success/failure status
- Timing/performance metrics
- Error types (not error messages with user data)
- Aggregate counts
-
-### Event Naming Convention
-
-Follow this pattern: `UtilityName_EventDescription`
-
-Examples:
-
- `ColorPicker_Session`
- `FancyZones_LayoutApplied`
- `PowerRename_Rename`
- `AdvancedPaste_FormatClicked`
- `CmdPal_ExtensionInvoked`
-
-## Adding Telemetry Events to PowerToys
-
-PowerToys uses ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) for telemetry in both C++ and C# modules. The telemetry system is:
-
- Opt-in by default (disabled since v0.86)
- Privacy-focused - never logs personal info, file paths, or user-generated content
- Controlled by registry - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\PowerToys\AllowDataDiagnostics
-
-### C++ Telemetry Implementation
-
-**Core Components**
-
-| File  | Purpose |
-| ------------- |:-------------:|
-| [ProjectTelemetry.h](../../src/common/Telemetry/ProjectTelemetry.h)    | Declares the global ETW provider g_hProvider     |
-| [TraceBase.h](../../src/common/Telemetry/TraceBase.h)      | Base class with RegisterProvider(), UnregisterProvider(), and IsDataDiagnosticsEnabled() check     |
-| [TraceLoggingDefines.h](../../src/common/Telemetry/TraceLoggingDefines.h)      | Privacy tags and telemetry option group macros
-
-
-#### Pattern for C++ Modules
-
-1. Create a `Trace` class inheriting from `telemetry::TraceBase` (src/common/Telemetry/TraceBase.h):
-
-    ```c
-    // trace.h
-    #pragma once
-    #include <common/Telemetry/TraceBase.h>
-    
-    class Trace : public telemetry::TraceBase
-    {
-    public:
-        static void MyEvent(/* parameters */);
-    };
-    ```
-
-2. Implement events using `TraceLoggingWriteWrapper`:
-
-    ```cpp
-    // trace.cpp
-    #include "trace.h"
-    #include <common/Telemetry/TraceBase.h>
-    
-    TRACELOGGING_DEFINE_PROVIDER(
-        g_hProvider,
-        "Microsoft.PowerToys",
-        (0x38e8889b, 0x9731, 0x53f5, 0xe9, 0x01, 0xe8, 0xa7, 0xc1, 0x75, 0x30, 0x74),
-        TraceLoggingOptionProjectTelemetry());
-    
-    void Trace::MyEvent(bool enabled)
-    {
-        TraceLoggingWriteWrapper(
-            g_hProvider,
-            "ModuleName_EventName",           // Event name
-            TraceLoggingBoolean(enabled, "Enabled"),  // Event data
-            ProjectTelemetryPrivacyDataTag(ProjectTelemetryTag_ProductAndServicePerformance),
-            TraceLoggingBoolean(TRUE, "UTCReplace_AppSessionGuid"),
-            TraceLoggingKeyword(PROJECT_KEYWORD_MEASURE));
-    }
-    ```
-
-**Key C++ Telemetry Macros**
-
-| Macro  | Purpose |
-| ------------- |:-------------:|
-| `TraceLoggingWriteWrapper` [CustomAction.cpp](../../installer/PowerToysSetupCustomActionsVNext/CustomAction.cpp)     | Wraps `TraceLoggingWrite` with `IsDataDiagnosticsEnabled()` check     |
-| `ProjectTelemetryPrivacyDataTag(tag)` [TraceLoggingDefines.h](../../src/common/Telemetry/TraceLoggingDefines.h)     | Sets privacy classification |
-
-### C# Telemetry Implementation
-
-**Core Components**
-
-| File  | Purpose |
-| ------------- |:-------------:|
-| [PowerToysTelemetry.cs](../../src/common/ManagedTelemetry/Telemetry/PowerToysTelemetry.cs)    | Singleton `Log` instance with `WriteEvent<T>()` method     |
-| [EventBase.cs](../../src/common/ManagedTelemetry/Telemetry/Events/EventBase.cs)      | Base class for all events (provides `EventName`, `Version`)     |
-| [IEvent.cs](../../src/common/ManagedTelemetry/Telemetry/Events/IEvent.cs)     | Interface requiring `PartA_PrivTags` property     |
-| [TelemetryBase.cs](../../src/common/Telemetry/TelemetryBase.cs)     | 	Inherits from `EventSource`, defines ETW constants     |
-| [DataDiagnosticsSettings.cs](../../src/common/ManagedTelemetry/Telemetry/DataDiagnosticsSettings.cs)     | Registry-based enable/disable check 
-
-#### Pattern for C# Modules
-
-1. Create an event class inheriting from `EventBase` and implementing `IEvent`:
-
-    ```csharp
-    using System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis;
-    using System.Diagnostics.Tracing;
-    using Microsoft.PowerToys.Telemetry;
-    using Microsoft.PowerToys.Telemetry.Events;
-    
-    namespace MyModule.Telemetry
-    {
-        [EventData]
-        [DynamicallyAccessedMembers(DynamicallyAccessedMemberTypes.PublicProperties)]
-        public class MyModuleEvent : EventBase, IEvent
-        {
-            // Event properties (logged as telemetry data)
-            public string SomeProperty { get; set; }
-            public int SomeValue { get; set; }
-    
-            // Required: Privacy tag
-            public PartA_PrivTags PartA_PrivTags => PartA_PrivTags.ProductAndServiceUsage;
-    
-            // Optional: Set EventName in constructor (defaults to class name)

+## Fork, Clone, Branch and Create your PR
+
+Once you've discussed your proposed feature/fix/etc. with a team member, and an approach or a spec has been written and approved, it's time to start development:

 1. Fork the repo on GitHub if you haven't already
 1. Clone your fork locally
-1. Run the automated setup script (**recommended**):
+1. Create a feature branch
+1. Work on your changes
+1. Create a [Draft Pull Request (PR)](https://github.blog/2019-02-14-introducing-draft-pull-requests/)
+1. When ready, mark your PR as "ready for review".
+
+## Rules
+
+- **Follow the pattern of what you already see in the code.**
+- [Coding style](development/style.md).
+- Try to package new functionality/components into libraries that have nicely defined interfaces.
+- Package new functionality into classes or refactor existing functionality into a class as you extend the code.
+- When adding new classes/methods/changing existing code, add new unit tests or update the existing tests.
+
+## GitHub Workflow
+
+- Before starting to work on a fix/feature, make sure there is an open issue to track the work.
+- Add the `In progress` label to the issue, if not already present. Also add a `Cost-Small/Medium/Large` estimate and make sure all appropriate labels are set.
+- If you are a community contributor, you will not be able to add labels to the issue; in that case just add a comment saying that you have started work on the issue and try to give an estimate for the delivery date.
+- If the work item has a medium/large cost, using the markdown task list, list each sub item and update the list with a check mark after completing each sub item.
+- **Before opening a PR, ensure your changes build successfully locally and functionality tests pass.** This is especially important for AI-assisted (vibe coding) contributions—always verify AI-generated code works as intended. Exploratory PRs or draft PRs for discussion are exceptions.
+- When opening a PR, follow the PR template.
+- When you'd like the team to take a look (even if the work is not yet fully complete) mark the PR as 'Ready For Review' so that the team can review your work and provide comments, suggestions, and request changes. It may take several cycles, but the end result will be solid, testable, conformant code that is safe for us to merge.
+- When the PR is approved, let the owner of the PR merge it. For community contributions, the reviewer who approved the PR can also merge it.
+- Use the `Squash and merge` option to merge a PR. If you don't want to squash it because there are logically different commits, use `Rebase and merge`.
+- Close issues automatically when referenced in a PR. You can use [closing keywords](https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/using-issues/linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue#linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue-using-a-keyword) in the body of the PR to have GitHub automatically link your PR to the issue.
