+# Performance Rules
+
+## Memory and allocation
+
+- Preallocate collections when size is known or estimable:
+  - `String::with_capacity(estimated_len)`
+  - `Vec::with_capacity(count)`
+  - `BufReader::with_capacity(size, reader)`
+- Prefer `&str` / `&[T]` returns over owned types when lifetime allows.
+- Use `Cow<'_, str>` for conditional ownership such as `String::from_utf8_lossy`.
+- Use `&'static str` for compile-time constant strings.
+- Reuse buffers with `.clear()` instead of reallocating.
+
+## Zero-cost abstractions
+
+- Use const generics for compile-time branching such as `<const LINE_NUMBERS: bool>`.
+- Use `#[inline]` on small hot-path functions.
+- Prefer `core` over `std` where possible.
+- Stream data instead of loading entire files when possible.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Prefer performance-oriented crates such as `parking_lot` and `memchr`.
+- Keep dependency footprint minimal.

-Basic coding oriented tools for LLM agents
-
-# Feature Flags (llm-coding-tools-core)
-
-- `tokio` (default): Async mode with tokio runtime. Enables async function signatures.
-- `blocking`: Sync/blocking mode. Mutually exclusive with `tokio`/`async`.
-- `async`: Base async signatures (internal use). Do not enable directly; use `tokio`.
-
-The `async` and `blocking` features are mutually exclusive - enabling both causes a compile error.
-
-# Project Structure
-
-- `llm-coding-tools-core/` - Framework-agnostic core library
-  - `src/tools/` - Core tool implementations (read, write, edit, glob, grep, bash, etc.)
-  - `src/path/` - Path resolution (absolute and allowed)
-  - `src/error.rs` - Unified error types
-  - `src/output.rs` - Tool output formatting
-  - `src/util.rs` - Shared utilities
-- `llm-coding-tools-serdesai/` - serdesAI framework Tool implementations
-  - `src/absolute/` - Unrestricted file system tools
-  - `src/allowed/` - Sandboxed file system tools
-  - `src/convert.rs` - Type conversions between core and serdesAI

-# Code & Performance Guidelines
-
-This is a high-performance library. Optimize aggressively.
-
-## Memory & Allocation
-
-- Preallocate collections when size is known or estimable:
-  - `String::with_capacity(estimated_len)`
-  - `Vec::with_capacity(count)`
-  - `BufReader::with_capacity(size, reader)`
-- Prefer `&str` / `&[T]` returns over owned types when lifetime allows
-- Use `Cow<'_, str>` for conditional ownership (e.g., `String::from_utf8_lossy`)
-- Use `&'static str` for compile-time constant strings
-- Reuse buffers: `.clear()` and reuse `Vec`/`String` instead of reallocating
-
-## Zero-Cost Abstractions
-
-- Use const generics for compile-time branching (e.g., `<const LINE_NUMBERS: bool>`)
-- Use `#[inline]` on small, hot-path functions
-- Prefer `core` over `std` where possible (`core::mem` over `std::mem`)
-
-## I/O Efficiency
-
-- Stream data instead of loading entire files when possible
-- Use `memchr` for fast byte searching over manual iteration
-
-## Dependencies
-
-- Prefer performance-oriented crates: `parking_lot` over `std::sync`, `memchr` for byte search
-- Keep dependency footprint minimal
-
-## General
-
-- Keep modules under 500 lines (excluding tests); split if larger
-- Place `use` inside functions only for `#[cfg]` conditional compilation
-
-# Documentation Standards
-
-- Document public items with `///`
-- Add examples in docs where helpful
-- Use `//!` for module-level docs
-- Focus comments on "why" not "what"
-- Use [`TypeName`] rustdoc links, not backticks.
-
-# Post-Change Verification
-
-After code changes, always run `.cargo/verify` script before returning to the user. Search if not found.
+After code changes, run `verify` from `.cargo/` or `src/.cargo/` before returning.
+Review-only rules files (`general.md`, `performance.md`, `documentation.md`) live alongside `verify` in that directory.
