+
+Guidance for AI coding agents working in this repository.
+
+## Documentation layout
+
+- `building_guide/` is for **human world builders only**: how to author the
+  game's YAML content (rooms, objects, mobs, items, drops, triggers, quests,
+  casino tables, and so on). See its README for the index.
+- `dev_guide/` is for **engine internals**: architecture, concurrency,
+  durability contracts, presentation internals, and per-game implementation
+  notes. Code comments that cite documentation must point here.
+- `README.md` is the project front page; keep it short and player/operator
+  oriented.
+
+When writing documentation, pick the right directory by audience, not by
+topic:
+
+1. A builder placing a Pai Gow table reads `building_guide/pai_gow.md`.
+2. Someone changing hand evaluation reads `dev_guide/pai_gow.md`.
+3. If an article mixes both, split it across the two guides and cross-link.
+
+**Do not** use `building_guide/` as a scratch space: no TODOs, roadmaps,
+progress logs, implementation assessments, or "future work" sections. If
+you find yourself writing one, put it in `dev_guide/`, a code comment, or
+delete it. Conversely, don't bury builder-relevant configuration examples
+in `dev_guide/` — builders read only `building_guide/`.
+
+## House rules
+
+- Go: keep tests deterministic (seeded RNG); money flows through
+  `internal/casino/credits.go` helpers; run `go test ./...` before handing
+  work back.
+- YAML data files are validated at startup; run the server or the validate
+  tests after editing anything under `data/`.
+- If a test or code comment names a documentation file, that file must
+  exist at the cited path; update both together.
