## 🚀 Quick Setup

1. **Initialize Project:**
```bash
mkdir colorx && cd colorx
npm init -y
```

2. **Install Dependencies:**
```bash
# Copy the package.json content above, then:
npm install
```

3. **Create Folder Structure:**
```bash
mkdir -p src/{core,converters,analyzers,generators,modifiers,exporters,utils}
mkdir -p tests/{__mocks__,converters,analyzers,generators,modifiers,exporters,utils,integration}
mkdir -p {docs,examples,scripts,.github/workflows}
```

4. **Development Workflow:**
```bash
npm run dev          # Start development build
npm run test:watch   # Run tests in watch mode
npm run lint:fix     # Fix linting issues
npm run validate     # Run full validation
```

5. **Publishing:**
```bash
npm run build        # Build for production
npm run prepublishOnly # Full validation + build
npm publish         # Publish to NPM
```

## 🏗️ Architecture Principles

- **Modular Design:** Each feature is isolated and composable
- **Type Safety:** Full TypeScript support with strict types
- **Tree Shaking:** Optimized for modern bundlers
- **Performance:** Efficient algorithms with minimal overhead
- **Extensibility:** Plugin-ready architecture
- **Standards Compliance:** WCAG 2.1 AA/AAA support
- **Cross-Platform:** Works in browsers and Node.js

## 📋 Next Steps

I'll now create the core implementation files starting with types, constants, and the main conversion utilities.
