+# Code of Conduct - ProSe Repository Standards
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We are committed to maintaining a professional, clean, and well-organized repository that serves as an example of best practices in software development.
+
+## Repository Standards
+
+### Cleanliness Standards
+
+1. **No Clutter**: The repository must remain free of:
+   - Backup files (*.bak, *.old, *.backup)
+   - Temporary files (*.tmp, temp/, tmp/)
+   - Unused code or commented-out blocks
+   - Old versions of files
+   - Experimental code that isn't production-ready
+
+2. **Organization**: All files must be in their proper locations:
+   - Source code in `src/`
+   - Tests in `tests/`
+   - Documentation in `docs/`
+   - Scripts in `scripts/`
+   - Examples in `examples/`
+
+3. **Quality Over Quantity**: 
+   - Every line of code should have a purpose
+   - Remove dead code immediately
+   - Don't keep "just in case" files
+   - Use git history for old versions
+
+### Contribution Standards
+
+1. **Clean Commits**: 
+   - Clear, descriptive commit messages
+   - Atomic commits (one logical change per commit)
+   - No commits containing backup or temp files
+
+2. **Code Quality**:
+   - Follow existing code style
+   - Include tests for new features
+   - Document public APIs
+   - Remove debug statements before committing
+
+3. **Pull Request Quality**:
+   - Self-review your code before submitting
+   - Ensure all tests pass
+   - Update documentation
+   - Clean commit history
+
+## Enforcement
+
+### Review Process
+
+All contributions will be reviewed for:
+- ✅ Code quality and functionality
+- ✅ Adherence to cleanliness standards
+- ✅ Proper documentation
+- ✅ Test coverage
+- ✅ Absence of clutter files
+
+### Violations
+
+Contributions that violate these standards will be:
+1. **First offense**: Requested to clean up and resubmit
+2. **Repeated offenses**: May result in rejected PRs
+3. **Severe violations**: Immediate rejection (e.g., committing sensitive data)
+
+## Maintenance Responsibilities
+
+### For Contributors
+- Clean up your workspace before committing
+- Use `.gitignore` appropriately
+- Remove files you don't intend to commit
+- Ask if unsure about including a file
+
+### For Maintainers
+- Conduct thorough reviews
+- Maintain .gitignore
+- Keep documentation updated
+- Perform periodic cleanup audits
+- Lead by example
+
+## Periodic Cleanup
+
+The repository undergoes regular maintenance:
+- **Weekly**: Review for stray files
+- **Monthly**: Documentation updates
+- **Quarterly**: Dependency updates
+- **Annually**: Major refactoring if needed
+
+## Reporting Issues
+
+If you notice clutter or organization issues:
+1. Create an issue with the `cleanup` label
+2. Describe what needs attention
+3. Suggest improvements if applicable
+
+## Attribution
+
+These standards exist to ensure ProSe remains a professional, maintainable repository that serves as a reliable foundation for integration with other projects.

+# Contributing to ProSe
+
+Thank you for contributing to ProSe! This document provides guidelines to keep our repository clean, organized, and maintainable.
+
+## 🎯 Repository Philosophy
+
+ProSe is designed to be a clean, well-organized main repository that receives contributions from other projects. We maintain strict standards to prevent clutter and ensure long-term maintainability.
+
+## 📋 Before You Contribute
+
+### What NOT to include in contributions:
+
+- ❌ **Backup files** (*.bak, *.old, *.backup, etc.)
+- ❌ **Temporary files** (*.tmp, tmp/, temp/)
+- ❌ **Unused/dead code** - Remove it completely rather than commenting it out
+- ❌ **Old versions** - Use git history instead of keeping old files
+- ❌ **Build artifacts** (dist/, build/, compiled files)
+- ❌ **Dependencies** (node_modules/, venv/, etc.)
+- ❌ **IDE configuration files** (.vscode/, .idea/, etc.)
+- ❌ **Personal notes or TODO files** - Use issues/PR descriptions instead
+- ❌ **Experimental code** - Create a branch for experiments, don't merge unfinished work
+
+### What TO include:
+
+- ✅ **Clean, production-ready code**
+- ✅ **Relevant tests** for new functionality
+- ✅ **Documentation** for new features
+- ✅ **Updated README** if adding major features
+- ✅ **Clear commit messages** describing what and why
+
+## 🔄 Contribution Workflow
+
+1. **Fork and Clone** the repository
+2. **Create a feature branch** from `main`
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
+   ```
+3. **Make your changes** following our guidelines
+4. **Test your changes** thoroughly
+5. **Clean up before committing**:
+   ```bash
+   # Remove any temporary or backup files
+   find . -name "*.bak" -delete
+   find . -name "*.tmp" -delete
+   find . -name "*~" -delete
+   ```
+6. **Commit with clear messages**:
+   ```bash
+   git add .
+   git commit -m "feat: add specific feature description"
+   ```
+7. **Push and create a Pull Request**
+
+## 📝 Pull Request Guidelines
+
+### PR Title Format
+Use conventional commits format:
+- `feat:` - New feature
+- `fix:` - Bug fix
+- `docs:` - Documentation changes
+- `refactor:` - Code refactoring
+- `test:` - Adding tests
+- `chore:` - Maintenance tasks
+
+### PR Description Should Include:
+- **What** changes were made
+- **Why** these changes were necessary
+- **How** to test the changes
+- **Related issues** (if any)
+
+### Before Submitting PR:
+- [ ] Code is clean and follows project style
+- [ ] No backup, temporary, or unused files included
+- [ ] All tests pass
+- [ ] Documentation is updated
+- [ ] Commit history is clean (squash if needed)
+- [ ] No sensitive data (keys, passwords, tokens)
+
+## 🧹 Code Cleanup Checklist
+
+Before committing, ensure:
+
+1. **No commented-out code** - Delete it; git history preserves everything
+2. **No debug print statements** - Remove console.logs, print()s used for debugging
+3. **No unused imports** - Clean up import statements
+4. **No duplicate code** - Refactor repeated logic
+5. **No TODO comments** - Create issues instead
+6. **Consistent formatting** - Use project's linter/formatter
+
+## 🏗️ Project Structure
+
+Please maintain the following structure:
+
+```
+ProSe/
+├── src/           # Source code
+├── tests/         # Test files
+├── docs/          # Documentation
+├── examples/      # Usage examples
+├── scripts/       # Utility scripts
+└── README.md      # Project overview
+```
+
+## 🔍 Code Review Process
+
+All contributions go through code review. Reviewers will check for:
+
+- Code quality and adherence to guidelines
+- Absence of clutter (backups, temp files, etc.)
+- Proper testing
+- Clear documentation
+- Clean commit history
+
+## 🚫 What Will Be Rejected
+
+PRs will be rejected if they:
+
+- Contain backup or temporary files
+- Include large binary files without justification
+- Have unclear/missing documentation
+- Break existing functionality
+- Don't follow contribution guidelines
+- Contain sensitive data or credentials
+
+## 💡 Best Practices
+
+1. **Keep it simple** - Simple code is maintainable code
+2. **Write tests** - Tests prevent future breakage
+3. **Document as you go** - Don't leave documentation for later
+4. **Commit often** - Small, focused commits are better
+5. **Clean before pushing** - Review your changes before submitting
+6. **Ask questions** - If unsure, create an issue to discuss
+
+## 📞 Getting Help
+
+- Create an issue for questions
+- Tag maintainers for urgent matters
+- Check existing issues/PRs for similar topics
+
+## 🙏 Thank You
+
+Your contributions help make ProSe better! By following these guidelines, you help maintain a clean, professional, and maintainable codebase.

+
+### Option 1: Using Git Subtree (Recommended for ongoing sync)
+
+```bash
+# For Donor Repository 1
+git remote add donor1 <donor-repo-1-url>
+git fetch donor1
+git subtree add --prefix=src/donor1 donor1 main --squash
+
+# For Donor Repository 2
+git remote add donor2 <donor-repo-2-url>
+git fetch donor2
+git subtree add --prefix=src/donor2 donor2 main --squash
+
+# Clean up immediately
+bash scripts/cleanup.sh
+
+# Audit
+bash scripts/audit.sh
+
+# Commit clean changes
+git add .
+git commit -m "feat: integrate code from donor repositories"
+```
+
+### Option 2: Manual Copy with Maximum Control (Recommended for messy repos)
+
+```bash
+# Clone donor repos to temp location
+git clone <donor-repo-1-url> /tmp/donor1
+git clone <donor-repo-2-url> /tmp/donor2
+
+# Create integration branch
+git checkout -b integrate/donor-repos
+
+# Copy source code
+mkdir -p src/donor1 src/donor2
+cp -r /tmp/donor1/[source-dir]/* src/donor1/
+cp -r /tmp/donor2/[source-dir]/* src/donor2/
+
+# Copy tests
+mkdir -p tests/donor1 tests/donor2
+cp -r /tmp/donor1/[test-dir]/* tests/donor1/
+cp -r /tmp/donor2/[test-dir]/* tests/donor2/
+
+# Copy documentation
+cp -r /tmp/donor1/docs/* docs/donor1/ 2>/dev/null || true
+cp -r /tmp/donor2/docs/* docs/donor2/ 2>/dev/null || true
+
+# Clean up immediately
+bash scripts/cleanup.sh
+
+# Fix imports and paths (project-specific)
+# Update configuration files
+# Run tests
+
+# Audit
+bash scripts/audit.sh
+
+# Document integration
+# Create docs/integrations/donor1-YYYY-MM-DD.md
+# Create docs/integrations/donor2-YYYY-MM-DD.md
+
+# Commit
+git add .
+git commit -m "feat: integrate code from donor repositories
+
+- Integrated donor1: [describe what was integrated]
+- Integrated donor2: [describe what was integrated]
+- Cleaned: removed backups, temp files, unused code
+- Reorganized: placed code in proper directories
+- Tested: [describe testing done]
+
+Source repositories:
+- donor1: <url>
+- donor2: <url>"
+
+# Push and create PR
+git push origin integrate/donor-repos
+```
+
+## 🧹 Post-Integration Cleanup
+
+After integration, immediately:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Find and remove any backup files
+find . -name "*.bak" -delete
+find . -name "*.old" -delete
+find . -name "*~" -delete
+
+# 2. Find and remove temp files
+find . -name "*.tmp" -delete
+find . -name "*.temp" -delete
+
+# 3. Remove OS files
+find . -name ".DS_Store" -delete
+find . -name "Thumbs.db" -delete
+
+# 4. Remove empty directories
+find . -type d -empty -delete
+
+# 5. Run comprehensive cleanup
+bash scripts/cleanup.sh
+
+# 6. Verify health
+bash scripts/audit.sh
+```
+
+## 📝 Documentation Checklist
+
+For each donor repository integrated, create a file in `docs/integrations/`:
+
+```bash
+# Template filename
+docs/integrations/donor-repo-name-2025-11-21.md
+```
+
+Include:
+- What was integrated
+- What was excluded (and why)
+- Changes made during integration
+- Source repository URL and commit/tag
+- Testing performed
+- Dependencies added
+
+See template in [docs/INTEGRATION.md](docs/INTEGRATION.md).
+
+## ✅ Verification Steps
+
+After integration:
+
+1. **Run Audit**
+   ```bash
+   bash scripts/audit.sh
+   ```
+
+2. **Check Git Status**
+   ```bash
+   git status
+   ```
+
+3. **Verify No Clutter**
+   ```bash
+   # Should return nothing
+   find . -name "*.bak" -o -name "*.old" -o -name "*.tmp"
+   ```
+
+4. **Test Everything**
+   - Run all tests
+   - Build if applicable
+   - Manual testing of integrated features
+
+5. **Review Changes**
+   ```bash
+   git diff main
+   ```
+
+6. **Create Clean PR**
+   - Use PR template
+   - Complete all checklists
+   - Request thorough review
+
+## 🆘 Troubleshooting
+
+### Problem: Too many merge conflicts
+**Solution**: Use manual copy method instead of git subtree
+
+### Problem: Donor repos are very messy
+**Solution**: Use manual copy, then aggressive cleanup before committing
+
+### Problem: Not sure what to integrate
+**Solution**: Start with core functionality only, add more later incrementally
+
+### Problem: Integration breaks tests
+**Solution**: Fix imports, update paths, add missing dependencies
+
+### Problem: Large files being imported
+**Solution**: Review if they're needed, add to .gitignore if appropriate
+
+## 📞 Need Help?
+
+1. Review [docs/INTEGRATION.md](docs/INTEGRATION.md) for detailed guidance
+2. Review [docs/MAINTENANCE.md](docs/MAINTENANCE.md) for maintenance procedures
+3. Create an issue with the `integration` label
+4. Ask maintainers for guidance
+
+## 🎓 Best Practices
+
+- ✅ **Integrate incrementally** - Don't try to integrate everything at once
+- ✅ **Clean as you go** - Don't leave cleanup for later
+- ✅ **Test frequently** - Catch issues early
+- ✅ **Document thoroughly** - Future you will thank you
+- ✅ **Review carefully** - Manual review before committing
+- ❌ **Don't rush** - Take time to do it right
+- ❌ **Don't bulk copy** - Be selective about what to integrate
+- ❌ **Don't skip testing** - Ensure everything works
+
+## 🎯 Success Criteria
+
+Integration is successful when:
+
+- [x] All desired functionality is integrated
+- [x] No backup or temporary files present
+- [x] All files in proper directories
+- [x] Tests pass
+- [x] Documentation updated
+- [x] `bash scripts/audit.sh` returns EXCELLENT
+- [x] Code review completed
+- [x] PR merged

+# Integrating Code from Donor Repositories
+
+## 📚 Overview
+
+This guide explains how to integrate code from other repositories (donor repos) into ProSe while maintaining cleanliness and organization.
+
+## 🎯 Integration Philosophy
+
+When receiving code from other repositories:
+- ✅ **Extract value, not clutter** - Only bring over what's needed
+- ✅ **Reorganize during integration** - Don't preserve poor organization
+- ✅ **Clean as you integrate** - Fix issues during the move
+- ✅ **Document the source** - Track where code came from
+- ❌ **Don't bulk copy** - Avoid copying entire repos blindly
+
+## 🔄 Integration Methods
+
+### Method 1: Git Subtree (Recommended for ongoing sync)
+
+Best when you want to maintain connection to donor repos and receive updates.
+
+```bash
+# Add donor repo as a remote
+git remote add donor1 https://github.com/username/donor-repo-1.git
+git fetch donor1
+
+# Add as subtree to a specific directory
+git subtree add --prefix=src/donor1 donor1 main --squash
+
+# Later, pull updates
+git subtree pull --prefix=src/donor1 donor1 main --squash
+```
+
+### Method 2: Selective Cherry-Pick (Recommended for one-time imports)
+
+Best when you want specific commits or features without the history.
+
+```bash
+# Add donor repo as remote
+git remote add donor1 https://github.com/username/donor-repo-1.git
+git fetch donor1
+
+# Cherry-pick specific commits
+git cherry-pick <commit-hash>
+
+# Or cherry-pick a range
+git cherry-pick <start-commit>..<end-commit>
+```
+
+### Method 3: Manual Copy with Cleanup (Recommended for maximum control)
+
+Best when donor repos are messy and need significant reorganization.
+
+```bash
+# Clone donor repo separately
+git clone https://github.com/username/donor-repo-1.git /tmp/donor1
+
+# Copy only what you need
+cp -r /tmp/donor1/src/* ./src/donor1/
+cp -r /tmp/donor1/tests/* ./tests/donor1/
+
+# Clean up immediately
+bash scripts/cleanup.sh
+
+# Review and commit
+git add .
+git commit -m "feat: integrate functionality from donor-repo-1"
+```
+
+## 🧹 Pre-Integration Cleanup Checklist
+
+Before integrating code from donor repos, prepare it:
+
+### 1. **Assess What to Import**
+- [ ] Identify valuable code/features
+- [ ] List files/directories to skip
+- [ ] Document purpose of each component
+- [ ] Check for dependencies
+
+### 2. **Clean the Import**
+- [ ] Remove backup files (*.bak, *.old)
+- [ ] Remove temporary files (*.tmp, temp/)
+- [ ] Remove commented-out code
+- [ ] Remove debug statements
+- [ ] Remove unused imports
+- [ ] Remove personal configs
+
+### 3. **Reorganize for ProSe**
+- [ ] Place source code in `src/`
+- [ ] Place tests in `tests/`
+- [ ] Place docs in `docs/`
+- [ ] Update paths and imports
+- [ ] Ensure naming consistency
+
+### 4. **Update Documentation**
+- [ ] Document what was integrated
+- [ ] Update README.md
+- [ ] Add examples if needed
+- [ ] Note any breaking changes
+
+## 📋 Integration Workflow
+
+### Step-by-Step Process
+
+1. **Create Integration Branch**
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b integrate/donor-repo-name
+   ```
+
+2. **Add Donor as Remote** (if using git methods)
+   ```bash
+   git remote add donor-name <repo-url>
+   git fetch donor-name
+   ```
+
+3. **Import Code** (choose method above)
+   - Use subtree, cherry-pick, or manual copy
+
+4. **Clean Immediately**
+   ```bash
+   # Run cleanup script
+   bash scripts/cleanup.sh
+   
+   # Manual review
+   find . -name "*.bak" -delete
+   find . -name "*.tmp" -delete
+   find . -name "*~" -delete
+   ```
+
+5. **Reorganize Files**
+   ```bash
+   # Move to proper locations
+   mv imported-src/* src/donor-name/
+   mv imported-tests/* tests/donor-name/
+   mv imported-docs/* docs/donor-name/
+   ```
+
+6. **Fix Imports and Paths**
+   - Update all import statements
+   - Fix file paths
+   - Update configuration files
+
+7. **Test Thoroughly**
+   ```bash
+   # Run all tests
+   # Build if applicable
+   # Manual testing
+   ```
+
+8. **Document Integration**
+   - Create integration notes in `docs/integrations/`
+   - Update main README
+   - Document any changes needed
+
+9. **Run Quality Checks**
+   ```bash
+   bash scripts/audit.sh
+   ```
+
+10. **Commit Clean Changes**
+    ```bash
+    git add .
+    git commit -m "feat: integrate <feature> from <donor-repo>
+    
+    - Imported: <what was imported>
+    - Cleaned: <what was cleaned>
+    - Reorganized: <how it was reorganized>
+    
+    Source: <donor-repo-url>
+    Original commit: <commit-hash if applicable>"
+    ```
+
+11. **Create Pull Request**
+    - Use PR template
+    - Document integration thoroughly
+    - Request thorough review
+
+## 🗺️ Directory Mapping
+
+Map donor repo structure to ProSe structure:
+
+### Example Mapping
+
+```
+Donor Repo                  →  ProSe
+─────────────────────────────────────────────
+donor1/lib/                →  src/donor1/
+donor1/test/               →  tests/donor1/
+donor1/documentation/      →  docs/donor1/
+donor1/examples/           →  examples/donor1/
+donor1/scripts/utils/      →  scripts/donor1/
+```
+
+### Consolidation Rules
+
+- **Similar functionality** → Merge into existing directories
+- **New modules** → Create new organized structure
+- **Utilities** → Evaluate if needed, consolidate if possible
+- **Tests** → Keep separate by source initially
+
+## 📝 Documentation Requirements
+
+For each integration, create a file in `docs/integrations/`:
+
+```markdown
+# Integration: [Donor Repo Name]
+
+**Date**: YYYY-MM-DD
+**Integrated by**: @username
+**Source**: [repo-url]
+**Commit/Tag**: [commit-hash or tag]
+
+## What Was Integrated
+
+- Feature/module 1
+- Feature/module 2
+- ...
+
+## What Was NOT Integrated
+
+- Old backup files
+- Experimental code
+- Personal configurations
+- ...
+
+## Changes Made
+
+- Reorganized [files] to [new location]
+- Removed [deprecated code]
+- Updated [imports/paths]
+- ...
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+Any special notes for using the integrated code.
+
+## Dependencies Added
+
+List any new dependencies and why they're needed.
+
+## Testing
+
+How the integration was tested.
+```
+
+## 🚫 What NOT to Import
+
+Never import from donor repos:
+
+- ❌ Backup files (*.bak, *.old, etc.)
+- ❌ Temporary files (*.tmp, temp/)
+- ❌ IDE configurations (.vscode/, .idea/)
+- ❌ Build artifacts (dist/, build/)
+- ❌ Dependencies (node_modules/, venv/)
+- ❌ Personal notes or TODO files
+- ❌ Commented-out code
+- ❌ Experimental/unfinished code
+- ❌ Duplicate functionality
+- ❌ Unused utilities
+
+## 🔧 Post-Integration Tasks
+
+After integration:
+
+1. **Update .gitignore** if needed
+2. **Update dependencies** if new ones added
+3. **Update CI/CD** if needed
+4. **Update documentation**
+5. **Announce integration** to team
+6. **Archive donor repo** if no longer needed
+
+## 🎓 Best Practices
+
+### DO:
+✅ Review all code before importing
+✅ Clean as you integrate
+✅ Test thoroughly after integration
+✅ Document what and why
+✅ Keep integration commits focused
+✅ Maintain git history (when relevant)
+
+### DON'T:
+❌ Bulk import without review
+❌ Preserve bad organization
+❌ Skip testing
+❌ Leave cleanup for later
+❌ Import everything blindly
+❌ Lose track of source
+
+## 🆘 Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: Too many conflicts during merge
+**Solution**: Use manual copy method instead
+
+### Issue: Donor repo is too messy
+**Solution**: Manual copy with aggressive cleanup
+
+### Issue: Don't want donor repo history
+**Solution**: Use `--squash` with subtree or manual copy
+
+### Issue: Need to track multiple donor repos
+**Solution**: Use git subtree with separate prefixes
+
+## 📞 Questions?
+
+If you're unsure about how to integrate:
+1. Create an issue with the `integration` label
+2. Describe what you want to integrate
+3. Ask for guidance from maintainers
+
+---
+
+**Remember**: It's better to integrate slowly and cleanly than quickly and messily!

+# ProSe Repository Maintenance Guide
+
+## 🎯 Purpose
+
+This guide helps maintainers keep the ProSe repository clean, organized, and free from clutter.
+
+## 📅 Maintenance Schedule
+
+### Daily
+- Review new PRs for cleanliness standards
+- Check for any accidentally committed backup/temp files
+
+### Weekly
+- Run cleanup audit script
+- Review open issues
+- Update documentation if needed
+
+### Monthly
+- Dependency updates (if applicable)
+- Documentation review and updates
+- Archive old branches
+
+### Quarterly
+- Comprehensive repository audit
+- Review and update .gitignore
+- Update contributing guidelines if needed
+
+## 🧹 Cleanup Procedures
+
+### Finding Clutter Files
+
+Use these commands to find potential clutter:
+
+```bash
+# Find backup files
+find . -type f \( -name "*.bak" -o -name "*.old" -o -name "*.backup" -o -name "*~" \)
+
+# Find temporary files
+find . -type f \( -name "*.tmp" -o -name "*.temp" \)
+
+# Find backup directories
+find . -type d \( -name "backup" -o -name "backups" -o -name "old" -o -name "_old" \)
+
+# Find large files that might be artifacts
+find . -type f -size +1M ! -path "./.git/*"
+
+# Find common IDE config files that shouldn't be committed
+find . -type d \( -name ".vscode" -o -name ".idea" \)
+```
+
+### Removing Clutter
+
+```bash
+# Remove backup files (BE CAREFUL - VERIFY FIRST!)
+find . -name "*.bak" -delete
+find . -name "*.old" -delete
+find . -name "*~" -delete
+
+# Remove temporary files
+find . -name "*.tmp" -delete
+
+# Remove empty directories
+find . -type d -empty -delete
+```
+
+### Safe Cleanup Workflow
+
+1. **Identify**: Run find commands to locate clutter
+2. **Review**: Manually check each file/directory
+3. **Verify**: Ensure files are truly unnecessary
+4. **Remove**: Delete confirmed clutter
+5. **Test**: Ensure nothing breaks
+6. **Commit**: Commit cleanup with clear message
+
+## 📊 Repository Health Checks
+
+### Regular Checks
+
+```bash
+# Check repository size
+du -sh .
+
+# Check .git size (shouldn't grow too large)
+du -sh .git
+
+# List largest files
+find . -type f -exec du -h {} + | sort -rh | head -20
+
+# Check for uncommitted files
+git status
+
+# Check for untracked files that should be ignored
+git status --ignored
+```
+
+### Quality Checks
+
+- Are all files in appropriate directories?
+- Is documentation up to date?
+- Are there any TODO comments that should be issues?
+- Are test files properly organized?
+- Is .gitignore comprehensive?
+
+## 🚫 What to Remove
+
+### Always Remove
+- Backup files (*.bak, *.old, *.backup)
+- Temporary files (*.tmp, temp/)
+- IDE configuration (.vscode/, .idea/)
+- Build artifacts (dist/, build/)
+- Dependency directories (node_modules/, venv/)
+- Log files (*.log)
+- OS-generated files (.DS_Store, Thumbs.db)
+
+### Consider Removing
+- Commented-out code blocks
+- Unused functions/classes
+- Outdated documentation
+- Debug print statements
+- Duplicate code
+
+### Never Remove
+- Active source code
+- Current tests
+- Current documentation
+- Configuration files in use
+- Git history

+## Current Documentation
+
+- **[INTEGRATION.md](INTEGRATION.md)** - Guide for integrating code from donor repositories
+- **[MAINTENANCE.md](MAINTENANCE.md)** - Repository maintenance procedures and schedules
+
+## Organization
+
+Additional documentation should be organized by topic:
+
+```
+docs/
+├── integrations/    # Integration notes for each donor repo
+├── api/             # API documentation
+├── guides/          # User guides
+└── development/     # Development documentation
+```
+
+## Creating Integration Notes
+
+When integrating from a donor repository, create a file in `integrations/`:
+
+```
+docs/integrations/donor-repo-name-YYYY-MM-DD.md
+```
+
+See [INTEGRATION.md](INTEGRATION.md) for the template.
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- Keep documentation up to date
+- Use clear, concise language
+- Include examples where helpful
+- No outdated documentation
+- Remove deprecated docs when features are removed

+# Integration Notes
+
+This directory contains notes about code integrated from donor repositories.
+
+## Purpose
+
+Each integration should be documented with:
+- What was integrated
+- When it was integrated
+- Where it came from
+- What changes were made
+- What was NOT integrated (and why)
+
+## Naming Convention
+
+Files should be named:
+```
+[donor-repo-name]-[YYYY-MM-DD].md
+```
+
+For example:
+- `donor-repo-1-2025-11-21.md`
+- `legacy-system-2025-12-01.md`
+
+## Template
+
+See [../INTEGRATION.md](../INTEGRATION.md) for the integration documentation template.
+
+## Benefits
+
+Documenting integrations helps:
+- Track where code came from
+- Understand what was cleaned during integration
+- Reference for future updates
+- Audit trail for maintainability

+# Examples
+
+This directory contains usage examples for ProSe.
+
+## Organization
+
+Examples should be organized by feature or use case:
+
+```
+examples/
+├── basic/           # Basic usage examples
+├── advanced/        # Advanced usage examples
+├── donor1/          # Examples for donor1 functionality
+└── donor2/          # Examples for donor2 functionality
+```
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- Keep examples simple and focused
+- Include comments explaining what's happening
+- Ensure examples actually work
+- No backup or temporary files
+- Clean up any generated files in examples
+
+## Adding Examples
+
+When adding examples:
+
+1. Create a descriptive directory name
+2. Add a README explaining the example
+3. Keep code clean and well-commented
+4. Test that the example works
+5. Document any dependencies or setup required

+# Source Code
+
+This directory contains the main source code for ProSe.
+
+## Organization
+
+Code from donor repositories should be organized in subdirectories:
+
+```
+src/
+├── donor1/          # Code from first donor repository
+├── donor2/          # Code from second donor repository
+└── core/            # Core ProSe functionality
+```
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- Keep code organized by feature or source
+- No backup files (*.bak, *.old)
+- No temporary files (*.tmp)
+- Remove commented-out code
+- Document all public APIs
+- Follow existing code style
+
+## Adding Code
+
+When adding code from donor repositories:
+
+1. Create a subdirectory for the source
+2. Clean the code before committing
+3. Update imports and paths
+4. Add tests in `tests/`
+5. Update documentation
+
+See [../docs/INTEGRATION.md](../docs/INTEGRATION.md) for detailed integration guidelines.

+# Tests
+
+This directory contains all test files for ProSe.
+
+## Organization
+
+Tests should be organized to mirror the source code structure:
+
+```
+tests/
+├── donor1/          # Tests for code from donor1
+├── donor2/          # Tests for code from donor2
+├── core/            # Tests for core functionality
+└── integration/     # Integration tests
+```
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- Test file names should match source files (e.g., `test_module.py` for `module.py`)
+- Include both unit tests and integration tests
+- Aim for high test coverage
+- Keep tests clean and well-documented
+- No debug print statements in committed tests
+
+## Running Tests
+
+[Add instructions for running tests once test framework is set up]
+
+```bash
+# Example (adjust based on your test framework)
+# python -m pytest tests/
+# npm test
+# go test ./...
+```
+
+## Adding Tests
+
+When integrating code from donor repositories:
+
+1. Bring over relevant tests
+2. Update import paths
+3. Ensure tests pass
+4. Add additional tests if coverage is lacking
+5. Remove any test fixtures or temp files after tests run
