+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project
+telescope-frecency.nvim is a Neovim Telescope extension implementing Mozilla's Frecency algorithm for intelligent file prioritization.
+
+## Build/Test Commands
+- Run all tests: `bin/run-tests`
+- Run specific test: `bin/run-tests lua/frecency/tests/test_file.lua`
+- Run with verbose logs: `bin/run-tests -v`
+- Use custom Neovim binary: `bin/run-tests -e /path/to/nvim`
+
+## Code Style
+- Language: Lua
+- Indentation: 2 spaces
+- Typing: Use LuaLS annotations (---@class, ---@param, etc.)
+- Naming: snake_case for variables/functions
+- Error handling: Check errors with assertions
+- Documentation: Docstrings for public functions
+- Async patterns: Use async/await with plenary.async
+- Testing: Test files in lua/frecency/tests/ with *_spec.lua suffix
+- Imports: Standard Lua require statements
+- Type validation: Use vim.validate for config validation
