+# PatternKit CI/CD Quick Reference
+
+## 🔄 Development Workflow
+
+### 1️⃣ Create Feature Branch
+
+```bash
+git checkout -b feature/my-feature
+```
+
+### 2️⃣ Make Changes
+
+```bash
+# Write code, add tests
+git add .
+git commit -m "feat: add my feature"
+```
+
+### 3️⃣ Push and Create PR
+
+```bash
+git push origin feature/my-feature
+# Create PR on GitHub
+# Wait for validation 
+```
+
+### 4️⃣ Merge to Main
+
+```bash
+# Use "Squash and Merge"
+# Automatic release triggered on merge
+```
+
+## Automated Workflows
+
+### On Pull Request
+
+```
+PR Created/Updated
+ → Dependency Review (checks for security issues)
+ → PR Validation (build, test, package)
+ → Auto Label (labels based on files changed)
+ → CodeQL Analysis (security scanning)
+ → Post summary comment
+ → Upload artifacts
+```
+
+### On Merge to Main
+
+```
+Merge to Main
+ → CI Workflow
+ → Build & test with coverage
+ → Create packages
+ → Analyze commits
+ → Create tag with GitVersion
+ → Create GitHub Release
+ → Publish to NuGet.org
+ → Publish to GitHub Packages
+```
+
+## 📦 What Gets Published?
+
+### NuGet Packages
+
+- PatternKit.Core
+- PatternKit.Generators
+- PatternKit.Generators.Abstractions
+
+## Version Format
+
+- **Format**: `v{Major}.{Minor}.{Patch}`
+- **Examples**:
+ - `v0.1.0` - Initial release
+ - `v0.2.0` - Feature added
+ - `v0.2.1` - Bug fixed
+ - `v1.0.0` - Breaking change
+
+## ⚠️ Important Notes
+
+### DO
+
+- Wait for PR validation to complete before merging
+- Squash merge PRs to keep a clean history
+- Review dry-run artifacts in PRs
+- Write tests for new features
+- Follow existing code style
+
+### DON'T
+
+- Force-push to main branch
+- Merge PRs with failing checks
+- Skip tests
+- Introduce breaking changes without discussion
+
+## Build Commands
+
+```bash
+# Restore dependencies
+dotnet restore --use-lock-file
+dotnet tool restore
+
+# Build
+dotnet build PatternKit.slnx --configuration Release
+
+# Test
+dotnet test PatternKit.slnx --configuration Release
+
+# Build documentation
+docfx metadata docs/docfx.json
+docfx build docs/docfx.json
+
+# Pack for NuGet
+dotnet pack PatternKit.slnx --configuration Release --output ./artifacts
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Failing
+
+**Check**:
+1. Review CI logs in Actions tab
+2. Run tests locally: `dotnet test`
+3. Check for dependency issues
+4. Ensure .NET 9+ SDK is installed
+
+### Tests Failing
+
+**Check**:
+1. Run specific test: `dotnet test --filter "FullyQualifiedName~TestName"`
+2. Check test output for error details
+3. Ensure all dependencies are restored
+
+### Documentation Build Failing
+
+**Check**:
+1. Ensure DocFX is installed: `dotnet tool update -g docfx`
+2. Check `docs/docfx.json` for configuration issues
+3. Verify XML documentation comments in code
+
+## Automated Maintenance
+
+### Dependabot
+
+- Runs weekly to check for package updates
+- Creates PRs for outdated dependencies
+- Groups updates by category (Microsoft, testing, etc.)
+
+### Update Packages Workflow
+
+- Runs weekly on Sunday
+- Uses `dotnet-outdated` tool
+- Creates PR with package updates
+- Preserves major version compatibility
+
+### Stale Issues/PRs
+
+- Marks issues stale after 60 days of inactivity
+- Closes stale issues after 7 more days
+- Marks PRs stale after 30 days
+- Closes stale PRs after 14 more days
+- Exempt labels: pinned, security, bug, enhancement
