💭 Summary

Update README.md to provide a clear mission statement, explain the purpose as a product owner, and outline project structure for new users.

🧠 Motivation

The README should help both new and experienced developers quickly understand the philosophy, file layout, and best practices intended by this template. It encapsulates the reason for the template's existence and provides a starting point for documentation improvements over time.

✅ Acceptance Criteria

  • README includes a mission statement as product owner
  • README explains why the repo was created and who benefits
  • README gives a guided overview of the file/directory structure
  • README provides clear instructions on how users should use/extend the template
  • README clarifies what not to modify and why
  • README links to further documentation and encourages contributions
  • README change is made and pushed on a new branch (update-readme-file)

🎯 Benefits

New users and teams can onboard faster and follow project standards. Updates to the core template become easier, and documentation can evolve collaboratively.
