 This repository hosts various libraries distributed as NuGet packages. Keep these links up to date so contributors and tools can easily locate them.
 
+Only the .NET SDK **8.0** is available in the execution environment. Use this version when building or running tests.
+
+All `*.csproj` files should enable nullable reference types with `<Nullable>enable</Nullable>`.
+Indent code using four spaces or a single tab per level. Place one blank line after each closing curly brace of a code block, except when several closing braces appear sequentially. Always use braces for `if` and `else` bodies.
+All tests must use **xUnit** together with **FluentAssertions**.
+Implementations should be optimized for maximum performance even if that introduces some code duplication. Consider applying attributes such as `MethodImplOptions.AggressiveInlining` or faster alternatives to common operations when appropriate.
