+## Generic Guidelines
+
+---------------------
+
+### LLVM-related rules
+
+All changes should adhere to LLVM Developer Policy / Coding Standarts:
+- https://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html
+- https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html
+
+---------------------
+
+### Mark changes properly
+
+All OHOS-related changes to mainline LLVM / clang code MUST be clearly marked such as:
+
+```
+unsigned LoopSizeThreshold = 32; // OHOS_LOCAL
+```
+
+or in case of multiline change:
+
+```
+// OHOS_LOCAL begin
+
+Some local OHOS change
+
+// OHOS_LOCAL begin
+```
+
+The presence of such marks greatly simplifies porting such code snippets to new LLVM versions. All such changes MUST be accompanied with a test case that MUST fail should the change is reverted.
+
+---------------------
+
+### ABI Breakage
+
+All ABI-breaking changes MUST be scheduled to a major toolchain releases. One should explicitly discuss and document such changes. Ideally ABI-breaking change should cause linking error, it should not cause silent and hard to track bugs.
