### 1. Development Guidelines

- **Use PHP 8.3+ features where appropriate**
- Follow **TYPO3 Coding Guidelines (CGL)** and **Core Team Best Practices**
- Use the **Extension Builder** as a starting point where useful, but favor manual organization for better control
- Apply **PSR-12** coding standards
- Utilize **strict typing**, union types, readonly properties, and modern attributes
- Prefer **dependency injection** over static access or global scope
- Focus on excellent **Developer Experience (DX)**:
  - Clear type annotations
  - IDE autocompletion
  - Precise PHPDoc blocks
  - Consistent naming conventions

### 2. Coding Standards and Conventions

- **File Names**: Use `PascalCase.php` (e.g., `MyService.php`)
- **Class and Enum Names**: Use `PascalCase` (e.g., `MyUtilityClass`)
- **Method Names**: Use `camelCase` (e.g., `getUserData`)
- **Variable and Property Names**: Use `camelCase` (e.g., `userService`)
- **Constants and Enum Case Names**: Use `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE` (e.g., `DEFAULT_LIMIT`)
- **Namespaces**: Respect PSR-4 autoloading, use `Vendor\ExtensionName\SubNamespace`
