+# System Patterns *Optional*
+
+This file documents recurring patterns and standards used in the project.
+It is optional, but recommended to be updated as the project evolves.
+2025-01-11 22:47:00 - Log of updates made.
+
+*
+
+## Coding Patterns
+
+- **MCP Tool Structure**: Individual tools in `tools/` directory inherit from BaseTool
+- **Configuration Management**: Centralized config.py with environment variable handling
+- **Utility Organization**: Shared utilities in `utils/` for file operations, git, tokens
+- **Testing Strategy**: Comprehensive test suite with both unit tests and live integration tests
+
+## Architectural Patterns
+
+- **Docker Compose Orchestration**: Multi-service setup with Redis for conversation memory
+- **Memory Management**: Dual approach - file-based Memory Bank + Memory MCP entities
+- **Documentation-Driven Development**: All code changes require corresponding documentation
+- **Collaboration Framework**: Structured Claude-Gemini interaction patterns with tool selection matrix
+
+## Testing Patterns
+
+- **Separation of Concerns**: Unit tests (no API key) vs live integration tests (API key required)
+- **Mocking Strategy**: Mock external API calls in unit tests to avoid rate limits
+- **Quality Gates**: Pre-commit validation with multiple tools (codereview, precommit, etc.)
+- **Environment Isolation**: Docker-based testing to ensure consistent environments
