+## Setup
+
+Use the shared Python 3.12 virtual environment:
+
+```bash
+source ~/.pyenv/python3.12-venv/bin/activate
+python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+If you install another package for repository work, add its direct dependency
+to `requirements.txt`.
+
+## Repository layout
+
+- Put notebooks in `notebooks/`.
+- Put reusable Python and Bash utilities in `scripts/`.
+- Put local input files in `data/`.
+- Put generated artifacts in `results/`.
+
+The contents of `data/` and `results/` are ignored. Do not force-add test
+databases, raw test results, generated exports, or notebook outputs.
+
+`__SAV__/` is unrelated legacy material and is outside the active project.
+
+## Working with notebooks
+
+Notebooks must execute from top to bottom in a fresh kernel. Use relative paths,
+document data assumptions, and move reusable logic into tested scripts.
+
+Before handing off a change:
+
+```bash
+python -m pytest
+python -m pytest --nbmake notebooks
+jupyter nbconvert --ClearOutputPreprocessor.enabled=True --inplace path/to/notebook.ipynb
+```
+
+Run only the checks relevant to the files present in the repository, and report
+anything that could not be run.
+
+## Review requirement
+
+Python scripts, Bash scripts, and notebook code-cell changes require review and
+approval by a separate background agent. Address material findings and rerun
+affected checks before completion. If a reviewer is unavailable, the change may
+be handed off only with the status `review pending`.
+
+Documentation, dependency declarations, and ignore rules do not require this
+background review when no Python, Bash, or notebook code cells changed.
+
+The `master` branch is not protected. That does not remove the review
+requirement or authorize an agent to commit or push without an explicit request.
