+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+Python-snap7 is a Python wrapper for the Snap7 library, providing Ethernet communication with Siemens S7 PLCs. The library supports Python 3.9+ and runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
+
+## Key Architecture
+
+- **snap7/client.py**: Main Client class for connecting to S7 PLCs
+- **snap7/server.py**: Server implementation for PLC simulation
+- **snap7/logo.py**: Logo PLC communication
+- **snap7/partner.py**: Partner connection functionality
+- **snap7/util/**: Utility functions for data conversion (getters.py, setters.py, db.py)
+- **snap7/protocol.py**: Low-level protocol bindings to the native Snap7 library
+- **snap7/type.py**: Type definitions and enums (Area, Block, WordLen, etc.)
+- **snap7/common.py**: Common utilities including library loading
+- **snap7/error.py**: Error handling and exceptions
+
+The library uses ctypes to interface with the native Snap7 C library (libsnap7.so/snap7.dll/libsnap7.dylib).
+
+## Essential Commands
+
+### Testing
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+pytest
+
+# Run specific test categories using markers
+pytest -m "server or util or client or mainloop"
+
+# Run tests for specific component
+pytest tests/test_client.py
+```
+
+### Code Quality
+```bash
+# Type checking
+mypy snap7 tests example
+
+# Linting and formatting check
+ruff check snap7 tests example
+ruff format --diff snap7 tests example
+
+# Auto-format code
+ruff format snap7 tests example
+ruff check --fix snap7 tests example
+```
+
+### Development with tox
+```bash
+# Run all tox environments (mypy, lint, py39-py313)
+tox
+
+# Run specific environments
+tox -e mypy
+tox -e lint-ruff
+tox -e py39
+```
+
+### Using Makefile
+```bash
+# Setup development environment
+make setup
+
+# Run tests
+make test
+
+# Type checking
+make mypy
+
+# Linting
+make check
+
+# Format code
+make format
+```
+
+### Building and Installation
+```bash
+# Install in development mode
+pip install -e .
+
+# Install with test dependencies
+pip install -e ".[test]"
+
+# Install with CLI tools
+pip install -e ".[cli]"
+```
+
+## Test Markers
+
+Tests are organized with pytest markers:
+- `client`: Client functionality tests
+- `server`: Server functionality tests
+- `util`: Utility function tests
+- `logo`: Logo PLC tests
+- `partner`: Partner connection tests
+- `mainloop`: Main loop tests
+- `common`: Common functionality tests
+
+## Python Version Compatibility
+
+**Fully tested and supported Python versions:**
+- **Python 3.9** (EOL: October 2025) ✅
+- **Python 3.10** (EOL: October 2026) ✅
+- **Python 3.11** (EOL: October 2027) ✅
+- **Python 3.12** (EOL: October 2028) ✅
+- **Python 3.13** (EOL: October 2029) ✅
+
+All versions pass the complete test suite (188 tests) and have been verified for type checking, linting, and functionality.
+
+## Cross-Platform Development
+
+This library supports **Windows, Linux, and macOS** through ctypes bindings:
+
+- **Windows**: Uses `windll` from ctypes for library loading
+- **Linux/macOS**: Uses `cdll` from ctypes for library loading
+- **Library files**: Includes platform-specific Snap7 libraries (snap7.dll, libsnap7.so, libsnap7.dylib)
+
+### Platform-Specific Notes
+- The conditional import in `snap7/common.py` handles platform differences automatically
+- No `# type: ignore` comments needed for platform-specific imports in modern mypy
+- Cross-platform compatibility is maintained through the ctypes interface
+
+## Code Quality Standards
+
+### Expected Quality Tool Results
+```bash
+# MyPy should show clean results
+mypy snap7 tests example
+# Expected: "Success: no issues found in 27 source files"
+
+# Ruff should pass all checks
+ruff check snap7 tests example
+# Expected: "All checks passed!"
+
+# Tests should pass with high coverage
+pytest tests/
+# Expected: "188 passed, 4 skipped"
+```
+
+### Common Code Quality Issues and Fixes
+
+1. **Print statements in production code**: Replace with `logger.info()` or appropriate log level
+2. **Unused type ignore comments**: Remove if not needed, or make platform-specific
+3. **Formatting inconsistencies**: Run `ruff format` to auto-fix
+4. **Type annotation issues**: Use strict mypy checking to catch early
+
+### Development Best Practices
+
+- **Always use logging instead of print()** for debug output (except CLI error messages)
+- **Test across Python versions** when making changes that might affect compatibility
+- **Use existing patterns** for ctypes interactions and error handling
+- **Follow the established project structure** when adding new functionality
+- **Maintain cross-platform compatibility** - test platform-specific code paths
+
+## Configuration Notes
+
+- **pyproject.toml**: Main project configuration with build, dependencies, and tool settings
+- **tox.ini**: Multi-environment testing configuration
+- **.pre-commit-config.yaml**: Pre-commit hooks for code quality
+- **Ruff**: Line length set to 130, targets Python 3.9+
+- **MyPy**: Strict mode enabled with specific error code exceptions
+- **Protocol exclusion**: snap7/protocol.py is excluded from some linting due to generated bindings
+
+## Library Architecture Notes
+
+### Key Design Patterns
+- **Error wrapping**: Uses `@error_wrap` decorator for consistent error handling
+- **Type safety**: Extensive use of ctypes with proper type annotations
+- **Platform abstraction**: Single codebase works across Windows/Linux/macOS
+- **Modular design**: Clear separation between client, server, utilities, and protocol layers
+
+### Common Development Tasks
+- **Adding new PLC operations**: Extend client.py with proper error handling and logging
+- **Utility functions**: Add to appropriate modules in snap7/util/ following existing patterns
+- **Type definitions**: Update snap7/type.py for new enums or structures
+- **Cross-platform testing**: Use tox environments or manual virtual environment testing
