+# General Code Style Principles
+
+This document outlines general coding principles that apply across all languages and frameworks used in this project.
+
+## Readability
+- Code should be easy to read and understand by humans.
+- Avoid overly clever or obscure constructs.
+
+## Consistency
+- Follow existing patterns in the codebase.
+- Maintain consistent formatting, naming, and structure.
+
+## Simplicity
+- Prefer simple solutions over complex ones.
+- Break down complex problems into smaller, manageable parts.
+
+## Maintainability
+- Write code that is easy to modify and extend.
+- Minimize dependencies and coupling.
+
+## Documentation
+- Document *why* something is done, not just *what*.
+- Keep documentation up-to-date with code changes.
