+
+## 🏗️ Core Concepts at a Glance
+
+### System Architecture (4 Layers)

+- **Indexing Layer**: 4 specialized indexes for fast search
+- **Query Layer**: Search, ranking, and result formatting
+
+### Data Storage (4 Indexes)
+- **Inverted Index** (70% storage) - Keywords to locations
+- **Scope Hierarchy Index** (20% storage) - Code structure navigation
+- **Block Registry** (10% storage) - Quick metadata lookup
+- **Semantic Index** (optional) - Dense embeddings
+
+### Key Features
+- Format-aware parsing
+- Multi-factor ranking algorithm
+- LLM-optimized output format

+
+## 🧪 Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests (with in-memory repositories)
+- Test parsers independently
+- Test ranking engine
+- Test search logic
+- Test indexing logic
+- **No database needed!**
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Test end-to-end indexing pipeline
+- Test search with real data
+- Test incremental updates
+
+### Example Test Setup
+```typescript
+// Use InMemoryBlockRepository for testing
+const blockRepo = new InMemoryBlockRepository();
+const indexRepo = new InMemoryIndexRepository();
+const engine = new SearchEngine(blockRepo, indexRepo, ...);
+
+// Test without database!
+await engine.indexFile('test.ts');
+const results = await engine.search('test');
+expect(results).toHaveLength(expectedCount);
+```
+

+
+## 📝 Code Standards Summary
+
+### Naming Conventions (TypeScript)
+- Classes: `PascalCase` (e.g., `BlockRepository`, `SearchEngine`)
+- Methods: `camelCase` (e.g., `findByFilePath`, `computeScore`)
+- Properties: `camelCase` (e.g., `blockId`, `filePath`)
+- Constants: `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` (e.g., `DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LINES`)
+- Private: Leading `_` (e.g., `_internalCache`)
+- Directories: `kebab-case` (e.g., `src/repositories`, `src/di`)
+
+### Design Patterns
+- **Repository**: Data access abstraction
+- **Dependency Injection**: Service composition
+- **Strategy**: File parsing implementations
+- **Factory**: Parser selection
+- **Observer**: File change detection
+- **Builder**: Complex object construction
+
+### Clean Code Principles
+- Functions should be small (<30 lines)
+- Single responsibility principle
+- Depend on interfaces, not implementations
+- Explicit error handling
+- Type hints everywhere
+- Comments explain WHY, not WHAT

+
+## ❓ FAQ
+
+### Q: Do I really need a repository layer?
+**A**: Yes, absolutely. See [RESEARCH_SUMMARY.md](RESEARCH_SUMMARY.md) for architecture details.
+
+### Q: What's the difference between SQLite and in-memory repositories?
+**A**: SQLite persists data to disk; in-memory stores in RAM only. Use in-memory for testing.
+
+### Q: How do I swap from SQLite to PostgreSQL?
+**A**: Create new `PostgreSQLBlockRepository implements IBlockRepository`. Register it in DI container. Done!
+
+### Q: Do I need dependency injection?
+**A**: Yes, for testability and flexibility. Use tsyringe, it's simple.
+
+### Q: What if I want to add caching?
+**A**: Create `CachedBlockRepository implements IBlockRepository` that wraps actual repository. Register in DI.
+
+### Q: How do I test without a database?
+**A**: Use `InMemoryBlockRepository` in tests. It implements same interface.
