+## Development Workflow
+
+**IMPORTANT: Commit to Git After Every Feature/Fix/Update**
+
+After implementing any feature, fix, or update, you MUST:
+
+1. **Build and test** the changes:
+   ```bash
+   # Backend
+   cd backend && npm test
+
+   # Frontend
+   cd frontend && npm run build
+   ```
+
+2. **Create a git commit** with a descriptive message:
+   ```bash
+   git add <files>
+   git commit -m "feat/fix/docs: descriptive message
+
+   Detailed explanation of changes...
+
+   🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
+
+   Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>"
+   ```
+
+3. **Use conventional commit prefixes**:
+   - `feat:` - New features
+   - `fix:` - Bug fixes
+   - `docs:` - Documentation changes
+   - `test:` - Test additions or updates
+   - `refactor:` - Code refactoring
+   - `chore:` - Maintenance tasks
+   - `perf:` - Performance improvements
+
+4. **Commit frequency**: Create commits for each logical unit of work. Don't batch multiple unrelated changes into one commit.
+
+5. **Push regularly**: Push commits to origin after completing features or at end of session:
+   ```bash
+   git push origin main
+   ```
+
+This ensures:
+- Clear history of all changes
+- Easy rollback if needed
+- Better collaboration and code review
+- Deployment tracking
+- CI/CD pipeline triggers
+
