== Overview

**The canonical template for RSR (Rhodium Standard Repository) projects.**

This repository provides the standardized structure, configuration, and tooling for all RSR-compliant repos. Use it to:

* Bootstrap new projects with RSR compliance
* Reference the standard directory structure
* Copy configuration templates (Justfile, STATE.a2ml, etc.)

== Quick Start

[source,bash]
----
# Clone the template
git clone https://github.com/hyperpolymath/RSR-template-repo my-project
cd my-project

# Remove template git history
rm -rf .git
git init

# Interactive bootstrap — replaces all placeholders
just init

# Enter development environment
guix shell -D -f guix.scm

# Validate compliance
just validate-rsr
----
