+# Soroban Best Practices Rule Pack
+
+The **Soroban Best Practices Rule Pack** extends GasGuard beyond vulnerability detection by providing actionable recommendations for writing secure, maintainable, and efficient Soroban smart contracts. Instead of identifying only exploitable security issues, this rule pack helps developers adopt coding patterns that align with the Stellar ecosystem's recommended practices.
+
+## Overview
+
+Located in:
+
+```text
+src/rules/best-practices/stellar/
+```
+
+This rule pack analyzes Soroban contracts for common best-practice violations and generates findings that improve code quality, readability, maintainability, and long-term reliability.
+
+## Features
+
+* ✅ Detects deviations from Soroban development best practices
+* ✅ Categorizes findings by type and severity
+* ✅ Supports configurable rule sets
+* ✅ Generates clear, actionable recommendations
+* ✅ Complements GasGuard's security vulnerability scans
+
+## Rule Categories
+
+The rule pack can include checks such as:
+
+* Code organization and readability
+* Storage access best practices
+* Authorization and access control recommendations
+* Error handling and panic avoidance
+* Event emission consistency
+* Resource optimization and efficient storage usage
+* Maintainability and developer experience improvements
+* General Soroban development guidelines
+
+## Configuration
+
+Rules can be enabled, disabled, or customized to match a project's coding standards and security requirements.
+
+Example:
+
+```yaml
+best-practices:
+  enabled: true
+  rules:
+    storage-efficiency: warning
+    authorization-patterns: error
+    event-consistency: warning
+    panic-usage: info
+```
+
+## Example Finding
+
+```text
+Rule: storage-efficiency
+Severity: Warning
+
+Repeated storage lookups detected within the same execution path.
+
+Recommendation:
+Cache the storage value locally to reduce unnecessary storage access and improve contract performance.
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+* Encourages consistent Soroban development practices
+* Improves contract quality before deployment
+* Reduces technical debt and maintenance costs
+* Helps developers write cleaner, more efficient smart contracts
+* Works alongside security rules to provide comprehensive contract analysis
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+* ✔ Rule pack implemented
+* ✔ Findings generated successfully
+* ✔ Configurable rule support
+* ✔ Categorized best-practice recommendations
