## Key Directories

### Source Code (`src/`)
- Core library implementation in Rust
- Modular architecture with clear separation of concerns
- Language bindings for Python and WASM

### Schemas (`schemas/`)
- YAML definitions for all supported scripts
- Used by build.rs to generate optimized converters
- Can be loaded at runtime for custom scripts

### Documentation (`docs/`)
- **architecture/**: System design and technical architecture
- **guides/**: How-to guides for users and developers
- **reference/**: API documentation and format specifications

### Tests
- **tests/**: Integration tests
- **benches/**: Performance benchmarks (Rust)
- **python_benchmarks/**: Python-specific performance tests

### Scripts (`scripts/`)
- Automation for common development tasks
- Quick setup and deployment utilities
- Demo applications

## Build Artifacts

The following directories are created during build but not tracked in git:

- `target/`: Rust build output
- `pkg/`: WASM package output
- `wheels/`: Python wheel output
- `dist/`: Distribution packages

## Development Workflow

1. **Setup**: Run `./scripts/quick-start.sh`
2. **Build**: Use `cargo build` or `make build`
3. **Test**: Run `cargo test` or `./scripts/test-all.sh`
4. **Documentation**: Generate with `cargo doc --open`

See [DEVELOPER_SETUP.md](guides/DEVELOPER_SETUP.md) for detailed instructions.
