1. Validate an estimator
The validation programme is the backbone of Hayashi. Add a new case under validation/cases/ with a Hayashi script, a reference implementation (R or Python), and a case.yml descriptor.
2. Build a plugin
Plugins extend Hayashi without touching the core. Start with a Hayashi script, then move to native Rust or WebAssembly if you need performance or sandboxing.
3. Improve documentation
Books, examples, and the online reference are always evolving. Contributions in English and Portuguese are welcome.
4. Fix bugs and harden the core
Security, robustness, and error handling are high priority. If you find a user-reachable panic or a numeric edge case, open an issue.
5. Spread the word
Use Hayashi in your research, teaching, or blog posts. Cite the release version and link back to the project.
