+## Coding Guidelines
+
+- Commits should be atomic and adhere to [conventional commit](https://conventionalcommits.org) standards.
+- Commit messages should be short (`<topic>: <action>`, 50 char max), and commit bodies only included when necessary for complex changes (72 char max).
+- Breaking changes are discouraged, and require a `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer in the commit body explaining the change.
+- Types and interfaces should be inlined unless they're absolutely necessary for exporting or testing.
+- Avoid unnecessary code comments, and keep necessary ones trim.
+- All changes should maintain the test coverage gate (100%).
