AI-Ready Documentation

A comprehensive collection of documentation templates, guides, and best practices designed to provide optimal context for Large Language Models (LLMs) when working on software development projects.

🎯 Purpose

This repository contains markdown files and templates specifically crafted to:

• Provide rich, structured context for AI coding agents
• Enable autonomous implementation of complex features
• Standardize documentation practices for AI-assisted development
• Bridge the gap between human requirements and AI implementation
