+The project notes are in PROJECT.md.
+
+Before starting the project, read the project description and develop a
+system architecture document (ARCHITECTURE.md). It should describe the
+technical design of the system. Then, PROJECT_PLAN.md should be written
+that describes how to build this system in discrete steps.
+
+Commit these files to Git after human review. For this project, all git
+commits should have a single first line, no more than 55 characters,
+that succinctly describes an overview of the changes. As necessary, the
+body of the commit message should contain bullets describing the work
+that was done.
+
+Then, create PROGRESS.md. This should be initialized with the first
+steps for the project.
+
+The development process for this should generally be:
+
+1. Determine the current state of the project. Track the progress in
+   PROGRESS.md, explicitly stating what was done and next steps.
+2. Develop reasonable, discrete next steps to move forward with
+   actionable acceptance criteria.
+3. Complete the next steps.
+   + You should adversarially check whether any outputs are correct.
+   + All code units should be thoroughly unit tested.
+   + All subsystems should be thoroughly integration tested.
+   + Where appropriate, end-to-end tests to validate the system should
+     be developed.
+4. Checkpoint your work, committing it to git.
+
+Repeat this cycle until the system is in the desired end state.
