+# GitHub Copilot Instructions for SSVC
+
+This repository contains the **Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization (SSVC)** project, which provides a system for prioritizing actions during vulnerability management.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+SSVC is a modular decision-making framework for vulnerability management that includes:
+- Python modules for decision points, decision tables, and outcomes
+- MkDocs-based documentation website
+- Interactive calculators and policy explorers
+- JSON/CSV data files for decision tables
+- Docker-based development and deployment
+
+## Technology Stack
+
+- **Primary Language**: Python 3.x
+- **Package Management**: uv (package and project manager)
+- **Documentation**: MkDocs with Material theme
+- **Testing**: pytest
+- **Data Models**: Pydantic for JSON schema validation
+- **Scientific Computing**: NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn
+- **Web Framework**: FastAPI (for API endpoints)
+- **Containerization**: Docker and Docker Compose
+
+## Project Structure
+
+- `/src/ssvc/` - Core Python modules for SSVC functionality
+- `/docs/` - Markdown documentation source files
+- `/data/` - JSON and CSV data files for decision tables
+- `/test/` - Unit tests (located in `/src/test/`)
+- `/docker/` - Docker configurations
+- `/obsolete/` - Deprecated code (do not modify)
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Getting Started
+
+1. **Set up development environment**: `make dev` or `uv sync --dev --project src`
+2. **Run local documentation server**: `make docs_local` or `make docs` (Docker)
+3. **Run tests**: `make test` (local) or `make docker_test` (Docker)
+4. **Run API locally**: `make api_dev`
+
+### Building and Testing
+
+- Always run tests before committing: `make test` or `uv run --project src pytest -v`
+- Run markdown linting with auto-fix: `make mdlint_fix`
+- Preview documentation changes: `make docs_local`
+- Build documentation in Docker: `make docs`
+
+### Common Commands
+
+```bash
+# Show available make targets
+make help
+
+# Set up dev environment
+make dev
+
+# Run tests locally
+make test
+
+# Run tests in Docker
+make docker_test
+
+# Serve documentation locally
+make docs_local
+
+# Regenerate JSON data files
+make regenerate_json
+```
+
+## Coding Conventions
+
+### Python Code
+
+- Follow PEP 8 style guidelines
+- Use type hints for function signatures
+- Use Pydantic models for data validation
+- Document classes and functions with docstrings
+- Prefer explicit imports over wildcard imports
+- Module structure uses absolute imports from `ssvc` package
+
+### File Organization
+
+- Decision points are in `/src/ssvc/decision_points/`
+- Decision tables are in `/src/ssvc/decision_tables/`
+- Tests mirror the source structure in `/src/test/`
+- Documentation pages are in `/docs/`
+
+### Naming Conventions
+
+- Python files: `snake_case.py`
+- Classes: `PascalCase`
+- Functions/variables: `snake_case`
+- Constants: `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE`
+- JSON/CSV files: `kebab-case.json`
+
+## Testing Requirements
+
+### Test Structure
+
+- Unit tests use pytest framework
+- Tests are located in `/src/test/`
+- Test files follow pattern: `test_*.py`
+- Run tests with: `make test` or `uv run --project src pytest -v`
+
+### Test Coverage
+
+- Write tests for new Python modules
+- Ensure decision points and tables have corresponding tests
+- Test JSON schema validation
+- Validate data model serialization/deserialization
+
+### Before Committing
+
+1. Run all tests: `make test`
+2. Ensure no test failures
+3. Fix any linting issues: `make mdlint_fix`
+4. Verify documentation builds: `make docs_local`
+
+## Documentation
+
+### Writing Documentation
+
+- Documentation uses MkDocs with Material theme
+- Files are in Markdown format in `/docs/`
+- Use Python exec blocks for dynamic content generation
+- Include examples and code snippets
+- Follow existing documentation structure
+
+### Documentation Features
+
+- Automatic API documentation via mkdocstrings
+- Code execution in Markdown via markdown-exec
+- BibTeX citations via mkdocs-bibtex
+- Include markdown files with mkdocs-include-markdown-plugin
+
+### Building Documentation
+
+```bash
+# Local preview (with hot reload)
+make docs_local
+
+# Docker build (production-like)
+make docs
+
+# Access at: http://localhost:8000/SSVC/
+```
+
+## Data Files
+
+### JSON Files
+
+- Located in `/data/json/`
+- Generated from Python Pydantic models
+- Use JSON schema validation
+- Regenerate with: `make regenerate_json`
+
+### CSV Files
+
+- Located in `/data/csv/`
+- Generated from Python modules
+- Define decision table outcomes
+- Primary way to customize SSVC for specific environments
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Import Paths**: Use absolute imports like `from ssvc.module import Class`, not relative imports
+2. **PYTHONPATH**: When running scripts directly, set `export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$(pwd)/src`
+3. **JSON Regeneration**: After modifying decision points/tables, regenerate JSON with `make regenerate_json`
+4. **Docker Context**: Some make targets use Docker, others run locally - check the Makefile
+5. **Package Management**: Use `uv` commands with `--project src` flag, not pip directly
+6. **Obsolete Code**: Never modify files in `/obsolete/` directory
+
+## API Development
+
+- FastAPI application is in `/src/ssvc/api/`
+- Run locally with auto-reload: `make api_dev`
+- Run in Docker: `make api`
+- API documentation available at `/docs` endpoint when running
+
+## Git Workflow
+
+- Create feature branches for new work
+- Write descriptive commit messages
+- Reference issue numbers in commits when applicable
+- Keep commits focused and atomic
+- Run tests before pushing
+
+## Additional Resources
+
+- Main documentation: https://certcc.github.io/SSVC/
+- Source repository: https://github.com/CERTCC/SSVC
+- SSVC Calculator: https://certcc.github.io/SSVC/ssvc-calc/
+- Contributing guide: See CONTRIBUTING.md
+- Project wiki: https://github.com/CERTCC/SSVC/wiki
+
+## Special Notes
+
+- This project uses Carnegie Mellon University licensing (see LICENSE file)
+- Decision points and tables follow SSVC specification
+- Backward compatibility is important for existing data files
+- Documentation changes should be reflected in both `/docs/` and `/src/README.md` when applicable
