+# Standards Compliance
+
+**🤖 Cursor Rule**: See [01-standards-compliance.mdc](../../cursor-rules/01-standards-compliance.mdc) for AI-optimized directives that automatically enforce these standards.
+
+## Purpose
+Provide a single reference for precedence and traceability between standards and Cursor rules.
+
+## Precedence
+1. Security
+2. API/RPC
+3. Components & Markup
+4. Code Quality/Style
+5. Testing & Documentation
+6. Consuming App Structure
+

+## Documentation Standards
+
+### Purpose
+
+Documentation ensures code is maintainable, understandable, and usable. All documentation MUST follow these standards.
+
+### When to Document
+
+**MUST document:**
+- New components, hooks, utilities, or APIs
+- Breaking changes to existing APIs
+- Complex business logic or algorithms
+- Non-obvious implementation decisions
+- Configuration requirements
+- Migration paths for breaking changes
+
+**SHOULD document:**
+- Public APIs and their usage
+- Component props and behavior
+- Hook return values and dependencies
+- Utility function parameters and return types
+- Error conditions and handling
+
+**MAY document:**
+- Internal implementation details (if helpful)
+- Performance considerations
+- Future plans or limitations
+
+### Documentation Structure
+
+**Every component/API documentation MUST include:**
+
+1. **Overview** - What it does and when to use it
+2. **API/Props** - Complete prop/parameter definitions with types
+3. **Examples** - Real-world usage examples
+4. **Accessibility (A11y)** - Accessibility considerations and requirements
+5. **Edge Cases** - Known limitations, error conditions, and special cases
+
+**Example Structure:**
+
+```markdown
+# ComponentName
+
+## Overview
+Brief description of what the component does and when to use it.
+
+## API
+
+### Props
+- `propName` (type): Description
+- `optionalProp?` (type): Description (default: value)
+
+## Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+\`\`\`tsx
+<ComponentName prop="value" />
+\`\`\`
+
+### Advanced Usage
+\`\`\`tsx
+<ComponentName prop="value" optionalProp="optional" />
+\`\`\`
+
+## Accessibility
+- Keyboard navigation: Supported
+- Screen readers: Announced as...
+- Focus management: ...
+
+## Edge Cases
+- Handles null/undefined: Yes/No
+- Error conditions: ...
+- Performance considerations: ...
+```
+
+### Documentation Formats
+
+**Component Documentation:**
+- Location: `packages/core/docs/api-reference/components.md` or component-specific README
+- Format: Markdown with code examples
+- Must include: Overview, Props, Examples, A11y, Edge Cases
+
+**API Documentation:**
+- Location: `packages/core/docs/api-reference/`
+- Format: TypeScript types + Markdown descriptions
+- Must include: Function signatures, Parameters, Return types, Examples
+
+**Implementation Guides:**
+- Location: `packages/core/docs/implementation-guides/`
+- Format: Step-by-step guides with examples
+- Must include: Overview, Step-by-step instructions, Code examples, Troubleshooting
+
+**Standards Documentation:**
+- Location: `packages/core/docs/standards/`
+- Format: Markdown with examples and checklists
+- Must include: Purpose, Requirements, Examples, Checklists
+
+### Documentation Maintenance
+
+**MUST update documentation when:**
+- Adding new props/parameters
+- Changing behavior (breaking or non-breaking)
+- Fixing bugs that change user-facing behavior
+- Deprecating features
+
+**SHOULD update documentation when:**
+- Improving examples
+- Adding new use cases
+- Clarifying edge cases
+
+**Update Process:**
+1. Update code and tests first
+2. Update documentation to match
+3. Verify examples still work
+4. Update related documentation if needed
+
+### Documentation Quality Checklist
+
+Before committing documentation, verify:
+
+- [ ] Overview clearly explains purpose and usage
+- [ ] All props/parameters documented with types
+- [ ] Examples are complete and working
+- [ ] Accessibility considerations documented
+- [ ] Edge cases and limitations documented
+- [ ] Code examples are syntax-highlighted
+- [ ] Links to related documentation included
+- [ ] Breaking changes have migration guides
+- [ ] Documentation matches actual implementation
+
+## Authoring Checklist
+
+- Apply the precedence above when resolving conflicts.
+- Keep rule and standard filenames aligned (00–12).
+- Update relevant standards whenever rules change and vice versa.
+- Document any exceptions in-line within the affected standard.
+- Follow documentation standards when updating docs.
