+
+Overview
+========
+
+Adding a new function involves several steps, from updating the public specification to implementing and testing the code. Below is the standard checklist for contributors.
+
+Step-by-Step Checklist
+======================
+
+1. Header Entry
+---------------
+
+Update the standard YAML file that describes the public header to ensure the function is included in the generated public header.
+
+*   **File**: ``libc/include/<header>.yaml`` (or ``libc/include/sys/<header>.yaml`` for system headers)
+*   Add the new function to the ``functions`` list.
+*   Specify its name, return type, and arguments.
+*   List the standards it complies with (e.g., ``stdc``, ``POSIX``).
+
+2. Header Declaration
+---------------------
+
+Declare the function in the internal implementation header file. This file is used by other internal code.
+
+*   **File**: ``libc/src/<header>/<func>.h``
+*   Follow the structure defined in :ref:`implementation_standard`.
+*   Ensure the declaration is inside the ``LIBC_NAMESPACE_DECL`` namespace.
+
+3. Implementation
+-----------------
+
+Write the actual code for the function.
+
+*   **File**: ``libc/src/<header>/<func>.cpp`` (or ``libc/src/<header>/<os>/<func>.cpp`` for platform-specific implementations)
+*   Use the ``LLVM_LIBC_FUNCTION`` macro.
+*   Refer to :ref:`code_style` for naming and layout conventions.
+
+4. CMake Rule
+-------------
+
+Add a CMake target for the new function so it can be compiled.
+
+*   **File**: ``libc/src/<header>/CMakeLists.txt``
+*   Add an ``add_entrypoint_object`` rule for the new file.
+*   List all internal dependencies correctly to ensure proper build order.
+
+5. Platform Registration
+------------------------
+
+Register the new entrypoint for the target platforms to include it in the build.
+
+*   **File**: ``libc/config/<os>/<arch>/entrypoints.txt``
+*   Add the new function to the list of active entrypoints.
+
+6. Testing
+----------
+
+Create tests to verify the implementation.
+
+*   **File**: ``libc/test/src/<header>/<func>_test.cpp``
+*   Add corresponding tests using the internal testing framework.
+*   Update the ``CMakeLists.txt`` in the test directory (``libc/test/src/<header>/CMakeLists.txt``) to include the new test target.
