Quick Start

Follow my coding standards from `github.com/kthistlewood/coding-standards`.

Core Principles

1. Regenerable: Complete CLAUDE.md specification, from which the entire solution could be recreated.
2. Documented: All architectural decisions logged, and CLAUDE.md and README.md kept up-to-date.
3. Tested: 90%+ coverage, TDD approach.
4. Quality: Strict syntax enforcement, error handling, performance verification.
