## Development

When adding new scripts:
1. Place them in this directory
2. Use the standard shebang: `#!/usr/bin/env python3`
3. Add proper docstrings and error handling
4. Update this README with script documentation
5. Follow the project's linting and formatting standards
6. For unit tests, place them in `/tests/` directory
7. For integration tests or demos, place them in `/scripts/` directory
