in progress

+## Project Description:
+
+llama-swap is a light weight, transparent proxy server that provides automatic model swapping to llama.cpp's server.
+
+## Tech stack
+
+- golang
+- typescript, vite and svelt5 for UI (located in ui/)
+
+## Workflow Tasks
+
+- when summarizing changes only include details that require further action
+- just say "Done." when there is no further action
+- use `gh` to create PRs and load issues
+- keep PR descriptions short and focused on changes.
+  - never include a test plan
+
+## Testing
+
+- Follow test naming conventions like `TestProxyManager_<test name>`, `TestProcessGroup_<test name>`, etc.
+- Use `go test -v -run <name pattern for new tests>` to run any new tests you've written.
+- Use `make test-dev` after running new tests for a quick over all test run. This runs `go test` and `staticcheck`. Fix any static checking errors. Use this only when changes are made to any code under the `proxy/` directory
+- Use `make test-all` before completing work. This includes long running concurrency tests.
+
+### Commit message example format:
+
+```
+proxy: add new feature
+
+Add new feature that implements functionality X and Y.
+
+- key change 1
+- key change 2
+- key change 3
+
+fixes #123
+```
+
+## Code Reviews
+
+- use three levels High, Medium, Low severity
+- label each discovered issue with a label like H1, M2, L3 respectively
+- High severity are must fix issues (security, race conditions, critical bugs)
+- Medium severity are recommended improvements (coding style, missing functionality, inconsistencies)
+- Low severity are nice to have changes and nits
+- Include a suggestion with each discovered item
+- Limit your code review to three items with the highest priority first
+- Double check your discovered items and recommended remediations
