# References Directory

This directory contains technical and domain-specific reference materials that Claude can consult when working on the project.

## Purpose

Reference materials provide:
1. Technical documentation for libraries, frameworks, and tools
2. Domain knowledge relevant to the project's industry or field
3. Standards, conventions, and best practices
4. Examples and patterns to follow

## Usage

1. Organize reference materials by category or domain
2. Include both external documentation and project-specific references
3. Update references as new information becomes available

## Typical Contents

- Technical documentation (APIs, libraries, frameworks)
- Architecture diagrams and system specifications
- Domain-specific knowledge bases
- Code standards and style guides
- Sample data and test cases
- Links to external resources

## Organization

Reference materials can be organized in subdirectories based on domain or category:

```
/references/
  /docs/           # General documentation
  /architecture/   # System architecture information
  /domain/         # Domain-specific knowledge
  /standards/      # Coding standards and style guides
  /examples/       # Example patterns and implementations
```

Feel free to adjust this structure based on your project's specific needs.
