+# gstrickd Agent Guide
+
+## Scope
+
+`gstrickd` defines the photon stream exchanged between the modules of the simulation
+chain (light sources, atmosphere, optics, camera): run, event and telescope records
+with float32 photon columns, frames, MC truth and an efficiency ledger. It also holds
+the only EventIO code of the chain: `corsika2ps` (CORSIKA IACT output to stream) and
+`ps2simtel` (stream to sim_telarray input), plus `ps-cat` and `ps-tee`. Physics
+(atmosphere, optics, light sources, camera) is out of scope.
+
+## Layout
+
+- `cpp/include/gstrickd/`: C++ core headers.
+- `cpp/bindings/core.cpp`: nanobind extension; the only C++ file that may
+  depend on Python.
+- `cpp/tests/`: native tests (`test_*.cpp`) and shared helpers (`check.hpp`).
+- `python/gstrickd/`: Python boundary (API, CLI, optional plotting).
+- `python/tests/`: pytest suite.
+- `docs/`: Sphinx sources. `docs/changes/` is towncrier input.
+
+## Design rules
+
+- Never ever modify the main README.md. Suggest instead changes, don't apply them.
+- Keep the core C++20 standard-library-only. Python, plotting and file formats of
+  other programs belong at the boundary, never in a per-photon kernel.
+- Per-photon kernels are pure functions of (chunk, parameters): no allocation, I/O,
+  Python calls or virtual dispatch per photon. Float32 SoA photon columns,
+  counter-based random numbers (Philox) keyed on (seed, stage id, event, telescope,
+  photon index). The scalar version is the reference for any SIMD or GPU version.
+- Write kernels as templates on the scalar type (later differentiability).
+- Make units, frames, random seeds and applied efficiencies explicit. Reject invalid
+  input; never silently discard fields.
+- Do not hardwire CTAO names, telescope geometry, model versions or physics
+  parameters. Configuration comes from validated input written by simtools.
+- Plotting is optional (`.[plot]`); matplotlib is never a core dependency.
+- Use Python >=3.14 (as in `pyproject.toml`).
+- The EventIO reader and writer are this project's own code. Never depend on
+  sim_telarray's `eventio.c` or `io_simtel.c`; use them only as test references.
+- The stream format is versioned. Readers reject unknown major versions.
+
+## Changes and validation
+
+- Make the narrowest complete change and preserve unrelated work.
+- Add a Towncrier fragment under `docs/changes/` for changes that should appear in
+  the release notes.
+- Add or update a focused test for every behavioural change. Analytic kernel tests
+  come before cross-tool or performance tests.
+- Results must not depend on photon ordering, chunk size or thread count.
+- Do not weaken tolerances or replace reference data to hide a discrepancy.
+
+## Build, test, and lint
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install -e '.[dev]'
+cmake --preset debug
+cmake --build --preset debug
+ctest --test-dir build/debug --output-on-failure
+python -m pytest python/tests
+ruff format --check python

+find cpp -type f \( -name '*.cpp' -o -name '*.hpp' \) -print0 | \
+xargs -0 clang-format --dry-run --Werror
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+Docs build with warnings as errors: `sphinx-build -W --keep-going -b html docs docs/_build/html`.

+
+Photon-stream format and I/O for Cherenkov-telescope simulation chains.
+
+A versioned, columnar photon-stream format with a standard-library-only C++20 reader/writer, a Python API, and adapters from CORSIKA IACT output and to sim_telarray input, connecting the modules of a Cherenkov-telescope simulation chain.
+
+`gstrickd` is one module of a modular Cherenkov-telescope simulation chain
+(CORSIKA7 or light sources, atmosphere, optics, camera). Modules exchange photons as
+[gstrickd](https://github.com/gammasim/gstrickd) photon streams;
+[simtools](https://github.com/gammasim/simtools) configures and runs the chain.
+
+Status: pre-alpha, no functionality yet.
+
+## User Installation
+
+```sh
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+python -m pip install gstrickd
+```
+
+(requires python 3.14 or higher)
