+This file provides guidance for Claude Code when working with this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+`cernopendata-client` is a command-line tool to download files from the CERN
+Open Data portal. It enables querying datasets and downloading/verifying
+individual data files.
+
+## Development Setup
+
+```bash
+# Using mise (recommended) - installs Python versions 3.8-3.14
+mise install
+
+# Create virtual environment and install in editable mode
+python3 -m venv env
+source env/bin/activate
+pip install -e '.[tests]'
+```
+
+## Testing and Code Quality
+
+The project uses `run-tests.sh` for all quality checks. Run all checks with:
+
+```bash
+./run-tests.sh
+```
+

+### Using tox for Multi-Python Testing

+tox           # Run tests across all Python versions (3.8-3.14)
+tox -e py312  # Run tests for specific Python version
+```
