# Project Startup Rules

## Development Server
IMPORTANT: Always follow these instructions exactly when starting the development server:

```bash
lsof -ti :8000 | xargs kill -9; find . -type d -name "__pycache__" -exec rm -r {} +; uv run manage.py tailwind runserver
```

Note: These steps must be executed in this exact order as a single command to ensure consistent behavior.

## Package Management
IMPORTANT: When a Python package is needed, only use UV to add it:
```bash
uv add <package>
```
Do not attempt to install packages using any other method.
