+- `/docs` - Technical specifications and documentation
+- `.github/workflows` - CI/CD pipelines for automated testing
+
+## Building
+
+See the Makefile for build instructions:
+
+```bash
+make build
+```

+# AcreetionOS Technical Specifications
+
+## Overview
+
+AcreetionOS is a specialized Linux-based operating system component designed for high-stability systems requiring 99.9% uptime.
+
+## System Requirements
+
+- Linux Kernel: 5.x or higher
+- Architecture: x86_64, ARM64
+- Memory: Minimum 2GB RAM
+- Storage: Minimum 10GB available space
+
+## Design Goals
+
+1. **High Stability**: Achieve 99.9% uptime through robust error handling and failover mechanisms
+2. **Hardware Enablement**: Support for modern hardware components
+3. **Performance**: Optimized for low-latency operations
+4. **Reliability**: Comprehensive automated testing and validation
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+- **Kernel Module**: Hardware abstraction layer
+- **Device Drivers**: Support for various hardware devices
+- **System Services**: Background services for system management
+
+### Build System
+
+The project uses Make for build automation with support for:
+- Incremental builds
+- Cross-compilation
+- Automated testing
+- Documentation generation
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+- Unit tests for core components
+- Integration tests for system-level functionality
+- Continuous integration via GitHub Actions
+- Automated validation on every commit
+
+## Credits
+
+This project is part of the **AcreetionOS** initiative and credits the **ArttulOS Project** for its foundational work.
