+This is a Go based repository hosting a Terrform provider for the elastic stack (elasticsearch and kibana) APIs.  This repo currently supports both [plugin framework](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/plugin/framework/getting-started/code-walkthrough) and [sdkv2](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/plugin/sdkv2) resources. All new resources _must_ use the plugin framework. 
+
+For further information, please see [README.md](../README.md) and the [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md) docs.
+
+## Code Standards
+
+### Required Before Each Commit
+- Run `make fmt` before committing any changes to ensure proper code formatting, this will run gofmt on all Go files to maintain consistent style.
+- Run `make lint` to ensure any linting errors have not surfaced with your changes
+
+### Required Before Pull Request
+- Run `make gen` to update the documentation and code based on your changes.
+
+### Development Flow
+- Develop feature or fix bug
+- Write tests to validate behavior
+- Run `make test` to run test suite

+## Key Guidelines
+* Follow Go best practices and idiomatic patterns
+* Maintain existing code structure and organization
+* Write unit tests for new functionality. Use table-driven unit tests when possible.
+* Avoid adding any extra functionality into the `utils` package, instead preferencing adding to a more specific package or creating one to match the purpose
+* Think through your planning first using the codebase as your guide before creating new resources and data sources
