# Purpose
This document guides GitHub Copilot to produce Python code that strictly follows PEP 8 standards for readability and maintainability.

## General Guidelines
- Adhere to PEP 8: https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/  
- Use four spaces per indentation level.  
- Limit lines to 79 characters.  
- Include docstrings for all modules, classes, and functions.

## Naming Conventions
- snake_case for variables, functions, and methods  
- PascalCase for class names  
- ALL_CAPS for constants

## Imports
1. Place imports at the top.  
2. Order: standard → third-party → local.  
3. One import per line.  
4. Avoid wildcard imports.
