+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+lkml2cube is a Python CLI tool that converts LookML models into Cube data models. It uses the `lkml` library to parse LookML files and generates YAML-based Cube definitions.
+
+## Development Commands
+
+### Environment Setup
+- This project uses PDM for dependency management
+- Install dependencies: `pdm install`
+- Run tests: `pdm run pytest` or `pytest`
+
+### Testing
+- Tests are located in `tests/` directory
+- Main test file: `tests/test_e2e.py`
+- Test samples are in `tests/samples/` with both `lkml/` and `cubeml/` subdirectories
+- Tests compare generated output against expected YAML files
+
+### CLI Usage
+The tool provides three main commands:
+- `lkml2cube cubes` - Converts LookML views to Cube definitions (cubes only)
+- `lkml2cube views` - Converts LookML explores to Cube definitions (cubes + views)
+- `lkml2cube explores` - Generates LookML explores from Cube meta API (correctly maps Cube cubes→LookML views, Cube views→LookML explores)
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+#### Parser Module (`lkml2cube/parser/`)
+- `loader.py` - File loading, writing, and summary utilities (includes LookML generation)
+- `views.py` - Converts LookML views to Cube definitions
+- `explores.py` - Handles explore parsing and join generation
+- `cube_api.py` - Interfaces with Cube meta API, correctly separates cubes vs views
+- `types.py` - Custom YAML types for proper formatting
+
+#### Main Entry Point
+- `main.py` - Typer-based CLI with three commands: cubes, views, explores
+- Uses Rich for console output formatting
+
+### Key Concepts
+- **Cubes vs Views**: The `cubes` command only generates Cube model definitions, while `views` creates both cubes and views with join relationships
+- **Explores**: LookML explores define join relationships equivalent to Cube's view definitions
+- **Include Resolution**: Uses `--rootdir` parameter to resolve LookML `include:` statements
+- **Cube API Mapping**: 
+  - Cube cubes (with `sql_table`/`sql`) → LookML views
+  - Cube views (with `aliasMember` joins) → LookML explores with join definitions
+- **LookML Enhancement**: Generates production-ready LookML with includes, proper joins, primary keys, and drill fields
+
+### File Structure
+- `examples/` - Contains sample output files (cubes and views)
+- `tests/samples/` - Test fixtures with both LookML input and expected Cube output
+- `lkml2cube/` - Main source code
+- `dist/` - Built distribution files
+
+## Development Notes
+
+### YAML Formatting
+The tool uses custom YAML representers for proper formatting:
+- `folded_unicode` and `literal_unicode` types for multi-line strings
+- Configured in `main.py` with `yaml.add_representer()`
+
+### CLI Options
+Common options across commands:
+- `--parseonly` - Shows parsed LookML as Python dict
+- `--printonly` - Prints generated YAML to stdout
+- `--outputdir` - Directory for output files
+- `--rootdir` - Base path for resolving includes
