+### Branding & Naming Conventions
+
+- Use **`recode hive`** in lowercase for all mentions of the project name.
+- Update any headers, titles, or utility constants accordingly.
+
+### Formatting
+
+- Follow the existing code style for spacing, indentation, and Markdown formatting.
+- Use Prettier or ESLint to auto-format files before committing.
+
+## Exceptions to Lowercase Branding
+
+While we use lowercase **`recode hive`** throughout the project for consistency, there are some places where the exact repository name with capitalization must be used:
+
+- Repository-specific badges (e.g., [contrib.rocks](https://contrib.rocks))
+- GitHub repository URLs in tools or badges
+- Any external services that require exact repo names
