GUIDELINES.md

+# GUIDELINES
+
+These guidelines are recommended for anyone creating a repository using this template for building reference implementations.
+
+## Repository Name
+
+Choose a repository name that reflects the main topic of your reference implementations. Avoid generic terms like 'workshop', 'bootcamp', 'reference', or 'implementations'. Instead, use a concise topic name that best describes the content.
+
+**Example:** Use `retrieval-augmented-generation` if your repository contains reference implementations for RAG concepts. Select a single, descriptive topic name for the project.
+
+> **Note:** If you cannot use the recommended naming convention initially, you may start with a different name and update it later.
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Manage environment variables using a `.env` file and access them in your code with `os.getenv("ENV_VARIABLE", "default-value")`. List all environment-specific variables in a `.env.example` file with placeholder values for easy reference and onboarding.
+
+## Utility Packages
+
+Place all common methods and classes used across implementations in a dedicated module at the repository root. Each package should have its own `pyproject.toml` specifying its details and dependencies. For example, this repository includes the `aieng-topic-impl` package.
+
+If your repository contains multiple packages, link each one in the main `pyproject.toml` as shown below to ensure they are built and linked for local development:
+
+```toml
+[tool.uv.workspace]
+members = [
+  "aieng-topic-impl",
+]
+
+[tool.uv.sources]
+aieng-topic-impl = { workspace = true }
+```
+
+When testing packages, use pre-release versions (e.g., v0.1.0a1, v0.1.0a2, v0.1.0b1). After testing, update to a release version (e.g., v1.0.0) before publishing. Follow the [official versioning scheme](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/discussions/versioning/).
+
+## Google Colab Integration (For Notebooks Only)
+
+Ensure Jupyter Notebooks are runnable on Google Colab. This may require installing your locally linked package and resolving dependency conflicts in the Colab environment.
+
+Add the following Markdown cell at the top of your notebook to enable opening it in Colab:
+
+```markdown
+[![Open in Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/VectorInstitute/<REPO_NAME>/blob/main/<PATH_TO_NOTEBOOK>)
+```
+
+Include a Python cell like the one below at the beginning of your notebook to customize it for Colab:
+
+```python
+import os
+
+if "COLAB_RELEASE_TAG" in os.environ:
+    # Running in Google Colab
+    # Install required dependencies
+    !pip3 install numpy==1.26.4 torchvision==0.16.2 aieng-topic-impl
+    # Uninstall conflicting dependencies
+    !pip3 uninstall --yes torchao torchaudio torchdata torchsummary torchtune
+```
+
+## Dockerization
+
+Dockerize your project to ensure portability and consistency across platforms. This also facilitates deployment on the AI Engineering Platform used in bootcamps and workshops.
+
+- Update the provided `Dockerfile` to suit your project’s needs.
+- Modify `scripts/start.sh` to reflect your setup steps. This script will run at container startup.
+- Update the `README.md` with instructions to build and start the Docker container.
+
+## GitHub Actions
+
+### Publish
+
+Use this GitHub Actions workflow to publish packages. Create a PyPI token and set the `PYPI_API_TOKEN` secret in your repository settings. To trigger the publish workflow, create a GitHub Release and push a new tag (e.g., `v0.1.0`).
+
+After publishing, test the package by installing it in a new virtual environment and performing a sanity check.
