## Component Guidelines

All components follow strict standards:
- **Naming**: kebab-case format
- **Paths**: Relative paths only
- **Security**: No hardcoded secrets (use environment variables)
- **Validation**: Automated review before commits
- **Testing**: Comprehensive test coverage

## Security Best Practices

When working with this tool:
1. **Never hardcode API keys or tokens** - Use environment variables
2. **Use .env files** - Add to .gitignore
3. **Validate inputs** - All user inputs are sanitized
4. **Review permissions** - Check MCP permissions before installation

Example secure configuration:
```javascript
// ✅ Good - Using environment variables
const apiKey = process.env.GOOGLE_API_KEY;

// ❌ Bad - Hardcoded secrets
const apiKey = "your-api-key-here";
```
