+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+**Exchange Data Manager** - Efficiently retrieve and manage financial candlestick data with caching, REST API, and WebSocket support.
+
+## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Updating Todos, Milestones, and Goals
+
+**DO NOT edit `todos.md`, `milestones.md`, or `goals.md` files directly.**
+
+These files are managed by Development Hub which has file watchers and sync logic. Direct edits will be overwritten or cause conflicts.
+
+**Use the `devhub-tasks` CLI instead:**
+
+```bash
+# Status overview
+devhub-tasks status exchange-data-manager
+
+# Add todos
+devhub-tasks todo add exchange-data-manager "Task description" --priority high --milestone M1
+
+# Complete todos (by text match or ID number)
+devhub-tasks todo complete exchange-data-manager "Task description"
+devhub-tasks todo complete exchange-data-manager 3
+
+# List todos
+devhub-tasks todo list exchange-data-manager
+
+# Add milestones
+devhub-tasks milestone add exchange-data-manager M2 --name "Milestone Name" --target "March 2026"
+
+# Complete milestones (also completes linked todos)
+devhub-tasks milestone complete exchange-data-manager M1
+
+# Goals
+devhub-tasks goal add exchange-data-manager "Goal description" --priority high
+devhub-tasks goal complete exchange-data-manager "Goal description"
+```
+
+Use `--json` flag for machine-readable output. Run `devhub-tasks --help` for full documentation.
+
+**Files you CAN edit directly:** `overview.md`, `architecture.md`, `README.md`, and any other docs.
+
+## Development Commands
+
+```bash
+# Install for development
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+
+# Run tests
+pytest
+
+# Run a single test
+pytest tests/test_file.py::test_name
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+*TODO: Describe the project architecture*
+
+### Key Modules
+
+*TODO: List key modules and their purposes*
+
+### Key Paths
+
+- **Source code**: `src/exchange-data-manager/`
+- **Tests**: `tests/`
+- **Documentation**: `docs/` (symlink to project-docs)
+
+## Documentation
+
+Documentation lives in `docs/` (symlink to centralized docs system).
+
+**Before updating docs, read `docs/updating-documentation.md`** for full details on visibility rules and procedures.
+
+Quick reference:
+- Edit files in `docs/` folder
+- Use `public: true` frontmatter for public-facing docs
+- Use `<!-- PRIVATE_START -->` / `<!-- PRIVATE_END -->` to hide sections
+- Deploy: `~/PycharmProjects/project-docs/scripts/build-public-docs.sh exchange-data-manager --deploy`
+
+Do NOT create documentation files directly in this repository.
