# GEMINI.md

This document outlines some basic rules and guidelines for development within this template repository.

## Development Guidelines

*   **Test-Driven Development (TDD):** Wherever possible, Test-Driven Development principles should be followed. Write tests before writing the code they are intended to validate.
*   **Pre-commit Hooks:** Use pre commit hooks
    * Ensure that `pre-commit` hooks are installed and active before making any commits. This can be done by running `pre-commit install` in your local repository.
    * Do NEVER skip the `pre-commits` via the git argument `-n`
