+# Developer Preferences Memory
+
+This document serves as a persistent memory for developer preferences established during coding sessions. AI assistants should refer to this document to understand the developer's preferences and update it as new preferences are established.
+
+## Purpose
+
+- Maintain a consistent record of developer preferences across coding sessions
+- Ensure AI assistants can provide assistance that aligns with the developer's preferred coding style and practices
+- Reduce the need for developers to repeatedly explain their preferences
+
+## How to Use This Document
+
+- **AI Assistants**: Review this document before providing assistance. Update it when new preferences are established through user feedback.
+- **Developers**: Reference this document to see what preferences have been recorded. Feel free to edit it directly to add or modify preferences.
+
+## Recorded Preferences
+
+### File and Directory Structure
+
+- Prefer lowercase filenames for consistency across the codebase
+- Use unique folder names following best practices
+- Folder references should be easily identifiable when using @mentions in AI-assisted coding
+- Admin-specific functionality should be in the `admin/lib/` directory
+- Core plugin functionality should be in the `includes/` directory
+
+### Code Style
+
+- Follow WordPress coding standards
+- Use OOP best practices for WordPress plugins
+- Create modular, maintainable, and efficient code structure
+
+### Documentation
+
+- Prefer token-efficient documentation in `.ai-assistant.md` that references `.ai-workflows/` files
+- Document the release workflow in `.ai-assistant.md` and `.ai-workflows/release-process.md`
+- Store environment variable documentation in `.ai-workflows/local-env-vars.md`
+- Maintain consistent documentation across readme.txt, README.md, and CHANGELOG.md
+
+### Asset Organization
+
+- Store banner, icon, and screenshot images in `.wordpress-org/assets/`
+- Store WORDPRESS_ORG files within `/wordpress-org`
+- Organize files in `/assets` into relevant `/admin` folders
+
+### Version Control
+
+- Use standard Git practices for version control and code management
+- When updating plugin versions, create a GitHub tag and trigger GitHub actions
+- Follow a specific release process with proper tagging and GitHub releases
+- Ensure commits are merged to the main branch as Git Updater pulls data from the readme.txt file in the primary branch
+
+### Plugin Development
+
+- Prefer simpler solutions over complex ones for plugins
+- Use a specific formatting style for the CHANGELOG.md file, using #### for section headings
+- When updating plugin versions, remember to update language files (POT/PO)
+- Comment out redundant code during testing
