-# Project Rules
-
-## Conventions
-
-- Never use `any`. Use `unknown` when the type is truly unknown,
-  then narrow with type guards.
-
-- Always declare explicit return types on exported functions.
-  Inferred types are fine for internal/private functions.
-
-- Prefer union types over enums.
-  Use `as const` objects when you need runtime values.
-
-- Never use non-null assertion (!). Handle null/undefined explicitly
-  with optional chaining, nullish coalescing, or type guards.
-
-- Follow the Rules of Hooks: only call hooks at the top level,
-  never inside conditions or loops. Custom hooks must start
-  with "use".
-
-- Use PascalCase for component names and their files.
-  Use camelCase for hook files prefixed with "use"
-  (e.g. useAuth.ts).
-
-- Prefer composition over prop drilling. Use children,
-  render props, or context for shared behavior rather than
-  deeply nested prop chains.
-
-- Avoid inline styles. Use CSS modules, Tailwind classes,
-  or styled-components for styling.
