+## Important Developer Infos
+
+* [Project Structure, Files and Directories](https://github.com/MoonModules/WLED-MM/blob/mdev/.github/copilot-instructions.md#project-branch--release-structure) (in our AI instructions)
+* KB: [Compiling WLED](https://kno.wled.ge/advanced/compiling-wled/) - slightly outdated but still helpful 😊
+* Arduino IDE is not supported any more. Use VSCode with the PlatformIO extension. 
+* [Compiling in VSCode/Platformio](https://github.com/wled/WLED-Docs/issues/161) - modern way.
+* If you add a new feature, consider making a PR to [``wled-docs``](https://github.com/MoonModules/WLED-Docs) for updating our official documentation.

 ## Describe your PR
 
 Please add a description of your proposed code changes. It does not need to be an exhaustive essay, however a PR with no description or just a few words might not get accepted, simply because very basic information is missing.
