Look at how other contribs have been created. Then add yours following their style and formats. Some contribs don't touch the current tables (ie: no new fields, no writes) an example of that would be Recover Carts, which has its own table. This type of contrib is easy to create and install. Others do modify existing tables, like Master Products. There the instructions have to be more complete and complex, showing how the tables are modified and why.

Whatever you decide to do, you should DOCUMENT the code highly, so others can understand not only what you are doing, but why you are doing it. One of the things I loath doing is making mods to easypopulate since the code commentary sucks rocks. The more commentary you place in-line, the easier it is for people to modify to fit their own needs (or enhance, as was the case with Recover Carts, as the new versions are much better than the version I hacked up to start with).

Best of luck creating your contribution.
