+
+## 🧭 Philosophy
+PokerRogue values:
+- Clean, readable code
+- Deterministic game logic
+- Fast iteration
+- Fun > realism
+
+Avoid overengineering and solver-heavy logic.
+
+---
+
+## 🛠️ Tech Requirements
+- .NET SDK 10
+- MonoGame 3.8+
+- Windows (primary dev platform)
+
+Optional:
+- Rider or Visual Studio
+- Git
+
+---
+
+## 📁 Code Structure Guidelines
+### PokerRogue.Core
+- No rendering code
+- No MonoGame dependencies (unless unavoidable)
+- Deterministic logic preferred
+- Unit-testable systems
+
+### PokerRogue.Game
+- Rendering
+- Input
+- UI
+- Screen/state management
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Testing
+- Core logic should be unit-testable
+- Focus on:
+  - Damage calculations
+  - Status stacking
+  - Skill interactions
+
+---
+
+## 🧾 Coding Style
+- C# conventions
+- Explicit over clever
+- Small, composable systems
+- Prefer data-driven design
+
+---
+
+## 🔀 Git Workflow
+- Feature branches preferred
+- Small, focused commits
+- Descriptive commit messages
+
+Example:
+```
+feat: add bleed status effect
+fix: shield calculation overflow
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🧠 Design Contributions
+If proposing gameplay changes:
+- Explain the problem
+- Explain why it improves player decision-making
+- Avoid pure randomness buffs
