+# TinkerPop Development Skill
+
+## Project Overview
+
+Apache TinkerPop is a graph computing framework providing a standard API (the Gremlin graph
+traversal language) for graph databases and processors. The repository is a Maven multi-module
+monorepo that wraps JVM code, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, .NET, and Go under a single build.
+
+Canonical project documentation (prefer local files over external URLs):
+
+- `README.md` and `CONTRIBUTING.md` at the repo root
+- Reference docs: `docs/src/reference/`
+- Developer docs: `docs/src/dev/developer/`
+- Provider docs and Gremlin Semantics: `docs/src/dev/provider/`
+- IO and Serialization: `docs/src/dev/io/`
+- Recipes: `docs/src/recipes/`
+- Upgrade docs: `docs/src/upgrade/`
+- Future plans: `docs/src/dev/future/`

+
+Maven is the build orchestration tool for all modules, including non-JVM ones.
+
+## Basic Build Commands
+
+Build everything:
+```bash
+mvn clean install
+```
+
+Build a specific module:
+```bash
+mvn clean install -pl <module-name>
+```
+
+For GLV-specific builds, test execution, and advanced workflows, see the appropriate
+reference file under `references/`.
+
+## Coding Conventions
+
+- All files must include the Apache Software Foundation license header. Canonical text
+  is at `bin/asf-license-header.txt`.
+- Do not use import wildcards (e.g., avoid `import org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.structure.*`).
+  Use explicit imports.
+- Define variables as `final` whenever possible, except for loop variables.
+- Respect existing naming patterns and package organization.
+- Use `@/` path aliases for JavaScript/TypeScript imports where the project uses them.
+
+## Test Conventions
+
+- Prefer SLF4J `Logger` over `System.out.println` or `println` in tests.
+- Use `TestHelper` utilities for temporary directories and file structures instead of
+  hard-coding paths.
+- Always close `Graph` instances that are manually constructed in tests.
+- Tests using a `GraphProvider` with `AbstractGremlinTest` should be suffixed `Check`,
+  not `Test`.
+- Prefer Hamcrest matchers for boolean assertions (e.g., `assertThat(..., is(true))`)
+  instead of manually checking booleans.
+- Gremlin language tests use Gherkin features under:
+  `gremlin-test/src/main/resources/org/apache/tinkerpop/gremlin/test/features/`
+  See `docs/src/dev/developer/for-committers.asciidoc` for details.
+
+## Documentation Conventions
+
+- TinkerPop documentation is AsciiDoc-based under `docs/src/`. Do not use Markdown in
+  the main docs tree.
+- Place new content in the appropriate book (reference, dev, recipes, etc.).
+- Update the relevant `index.asciidoc` so new content is included in the build.
+- For detailed documentation generation instructions, see `references/documentation.md`.
+
+## Changelog, License, and Checks
+
+When changes affect behavior, APIs, or user-visible features:
+
+- Add or update entries in `CHANGELOG.asciidoc` in the correct version section.
+- Do not invent new version numbers or release names; follow the existing pattern.
+- Preserve and respect license headers and notices in all files.
+- Avoid adding third-party code or dependencies with incompatible licenses.
+
+## Agent Guardrails
+
+### Do
+
+- Make small, focused changes that are easy to review.
+- Run the relevant build and test commands before suggesting a change is complete.
+- Update or add tests when behavior changes.
+- Update documentation and/or changelog when changing public behavior or APIs.
+- Follow existing patterns for code structure, documentation layout, and naming.
+- Point maintainers to relevant documentation or issues when proposing non-trivial changes.
+
+### Don't
+
+- Don't perform large, sweeping refactors unless explicitly requested.
+- Don't change public APIs, configuration formats, or network protocols without explicit
+  human approval and an associated design/issue.
+- Don't switch documentation formats (e.g., AsciiDoc to Markdown) in the main docs tree.
+- Don't introduce new external dependencies, modules, or build plugins without an
+  associated discussion and issue.
+- Don't invent project policies, version numbers, or release names.
+- Don't remove or weaken tests to "fix" failures; adjust the implementation or test
+  data instead.
+
+If uncertain about the impact of a change, prefer to make a minimal patch, add comments
+for reviewers, and ask for clarification.
+
+## When In Doubt
+
+1. Check `CONTRIBUTING.md`, developer docs under `docs/src/dev/developer/`, and reference docs.
+2. Prefer no change over an unsafe or speculative change.
+3. Surface the question to human maintainers.
+

+# .NET GLV Build and Test
+
+## Requirements
+
+- **.NET SDK 8.0+** — optional; Docker handles test execution via Maven.
+- **Docker and Docker Compose** — required for running tests through Maven.
+- **Maven** — preferred build orchestration.
+- **Mono** — only needed for packing the `Gremlin.Net.Template` project.
+
+## Module Structure
+
+```
+gremlin-dotnet/
+├── pom.xml                 Maven parent (packaging=pom)
+├── Gremlin.Net.sln         .NET solution file
+├── src/                    Source code (Gremlin.Net library + template)
+│   ├── .glv                Sentinel file to activate build
+│   └── Gremlin.Net/        Main library
+├── test/                   Test projects

+│   ├── Gremlin.Net.UnitTest/
+│   ├── Gremlin.Net.IntegrationTest/
+│   ├── Gremlin.Net.Benchmarks/
+│   └── Gremlin.Net.Template.IntegrationTest/
+├── Examples/               Example projects
+└── docker-compose.yml      Test infrastructure
+```
+
+## Activation
+
+Both `src` and `test` directories need `.glv` sentinel files:
+```bash
+touch gremlin-dotnet/src/.glv
+touch gremlin-dotnet/test/.glv
+```
+
+Without these files, TinkerPop still builds with Maven but .NET projects are skipped.
+
+## Maven Build Commands
+
+Run from the repository root.
+
+Build and test (requires Docker):
+```bash
+mvn clean install -pl :gremlin-dotnet,:gremlin-dotnet-source,:gremlin-dotnet-tests
+```
+
+The test execution uses Docker Compose to:
+1. Start a Gremlin Server test container (`gremlin-server-test-dotnet`)
+2. Run `dotnet test ./Gremlin.Net.sln -c Release` inside a .NET SDK 8.0 container
+3. Run example projects to verify they work
+4. Tear down containers
+
+## Docker Test Infrastructure
+
+The `docker-compose.yml` defines:
+- `gremlin-server-test-dotnet` — Gremlin Server on ports 45940-45942 and 4588
+- `gremlin-dotnet-integration-tests` — .NET SDK 8.0 container that runs `dotnet test`
+
+The test container uses `dotnet-trx` for test result reporting.
+
+## Test Results
+
+Test results are written as `.trx` files inside the container. On failure, check the
+Maven console output for the `dotnet test` exit code and error summary.
+
+## Template Packaging
+
+To pack the `Gremlin.Net.Template` NuGet package (requires Mono):
+```bash
+mvn clean install -Dnuget
+```
+
+## Evaluating Build Results
+
+Use the Maven exit code to determine pass/fail:
+- Exit `0` — success
+- Non-zero — failure; check the `dotnet test` output in the Maven console

+# Go GLV Build and Test
+
+## Requirements
+
+- **Go 1.25+** — optional for local development; Docker handles test execution via Maven.
+- **Docker and Docker Compose** — required for running tests through Maven.
+- **Maven** — preferred build orchestration.
+
+## Module Structure
+
+```

+```
+
+## Activation
+
+Create a `.glv` sentinel file to include Go in standard builds:
+```bash
+touch gremlin-go/.glv
+```
+
+Without this file, TinkerPop still builds with Maven but Go is skipped.
+
+## Maven Build Commands
+
+Run from the repository root.
+
+Build and test (requires Docker):
+```bash
+mvn clean install -Pglv-go -pl :gremlin-go
+```
+
+The Maven build uses Docker Compose to:
+1. Start a Gremlin Server test container
+2. Run `go test -v -json ./... -race -covermode=atomic` inside a Go container
+3. Run example programs
+4. Tear down containers and prune dangling images
+
+## Convenience Script
+
+From `gremlin-go/`:
+```bash
+./run.sh                    # Uses current project version
+./run.sh 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT     # Specify server version
+./run.sh 3.8.0              # Use a released version
+```
+
+The default requires a SNAPSHOT server image built with:
+```bash
+mvn clean install -pl :gremlin-server -DskipTests -DskipIntegrationTests=true -am
+mvn install -Pdocker-images -pl :gremlin-server
+```
+
+## Docker Test Infrastructure
+
+The `docker-compose.yml` defines:
+- `gremlin-server-test` — Gremlin Server on ports 45940-45942 and 4588
+- `gremlin-go-integration-tests` — Go 1.25 container that runs tests with race
+  detection, coverage, and `gotestfmt` for formatted output
+
+Environment variables in the test container:
+- `CUCUMBER_FEATURE_FOLDER` — path to Gherkin feature files
+- `GREMLIN_SERVER_URL` — server endpoint for integration tests
+- `RUN_INTEGRATION_TESTS=true`
+- `RUN_BASIC_AUTH_INTEGRATION_TESTS=true`
+
+## Local Development
+
+After installing Go locally:
+```bash
+cd gremlin-go
+go build ./...
+go test ./driver/ -run TestName
+```
+
+For integration tests, a running Gremlin Server is required.
+
+## Evaluating Build Results
+
+Use the Maven exit code to determine pass/fail:
+- Exit `0` — success
+- Non-zero — failure; check the `go test` output in the Maven console
