+# ⚙️ Develop Rules & Engineering Standards
+
+This repository provides unified development rules, workflows, and templates across several engineering domains — including Git, C/C++ (desktop & embedded), Python, and beyond.  
+It aims to ensure consistency and clarity across teams and platforms.
+
+---
+
+## 📦 Quick Start
+
+To create templates & wiki for your repo:
+
+### ✅ Use a prebuilt archive
+
+Download the latest `.run` file from the [Releases](https://github.com/<your-org>/<your-repo>/releases) page and execute it on any POSIX-compatible system:
+
+```bash
+chmod +x develop-rules-v*.run
+./develop-rules-v*.run
+```
+
+### 🔧 Or build your own
+
+If you want to build a customized version from source, follow the instructions in [`release/README.md`](release/README.md)
+
