+name: "miniC educational parser code"
+description: Coding standards for this repo
+---
+
+When working in this project, prioritize code that is:
+
+- clear and easy to read for educational purposes
+- self-documenting through explicit naming, structure, and straightforward control flow
+- idiomatic Rust, but not at the expense of readability
+- aligned with the existing miniC codebase style and parser-combinator design
+
+Prefer:
+
+- descriptive function, type, and variable names
+- simple parser structure and well-scoped helper functions
+- comments only when they explain why a design choice matters, not what obvious code does
+- preserving spec-driven behavior and making language rules understandable
+
+Avoid:
+
+- overly terse or clever code that reduces comprehension
+- large unrelated refactors when the task is focused on parser/AST/spec behavior
+- introducing new patterns that conflict with the established codebase style
+
+IMPORTANT! Always thoroughly review the relevant `docs/` documentation before starting a task and again whenever you encounter a roadblock.
