+# Naming guidelines
+
+- Use `snake_case` for function, variable and type names
+- Naming usually optimizes for longest common prefix (see https://github.com/ggerganov/ggml/pull/302#discussion_r1243240963)
+
+    ```cpp
+    // not OK
+    int small_number;
+    int big_number;
+
+    // OK
+    int number_small;
+    int number_big;
+    ```
+
+- Enum values are always in upper case and prefixed with the enum name
+
+    ```cpp
+    enum llama_vocab_type {
+        LLAMA_VOCAB_TYPE_NONE = 0,
+        LLAMA_VOCAB_TYPE_SPM  = 1,
+        LLAMA_VOCAB_TYPE_BPE  = 2,
+        LLAMA_VOCAB_TYPE_WPM  = 3,
+        LLAMA_VOCAB_TYPE_UGM  = 4,
+        LLAMA_VOCAB_TYPE_RWKV = 5,
+    };
+    ```
+
+- The general naming pattern is `<class>_<method>`, with `<method>` being `<action>_<noun>`
+
+    ```cpp
+    llama_model_init();           // class: "llama_model",         method: "init"
+    llama_sampler_chain_remove(); // class: "llama_sampler_chain", method: "remove"
+    llama_sampler_get_seed();     // class: "llama_sampler",       method: "get_seed"
+    llama_set_embeddings();       // class: "llama_context",       method: "set_embeddings"
+    llama_n_threads();            // class: "llama_context",       method: "n_threads"
+    llama_adapter_lora_free();    // class: "llama_adapter_lora",  method: "free"
+    ```
+
+    - The `get` `<action>` can be omitted
+    - The `<noun>` can be omitted if not necessary
+    - The `_context` suffix of the `<class>` is optional. Use it to disambiguate symbols when needed
+    - Use `init`/`free` for constructor/destructor `<action>`
+
+- Use the `_t` suffix when a type is supposed to be opaque to the user - it's not relevant to them if it is a struct or anything else
+
+    ```cpp
+    typedef struct llama_context * llama_context_t;
+
+    enum llama_pooling_type llama_pooling_type(const llama_context_t ctx);
+    ```
+
+    _(NOTE: this guideline is yet to be applied to the `llama.cpp` codebase. New code should follow this guideline)_
+
+- C/C++ filenames are all lowercase with dashes. Headers use the `.h` extension. Source files use the `.c` or `.cpp` extension
+- Python filenames are all lowercase with underscores
+
+- _(TODO: abbreviations usage)_
+
+# Preprocessor directives
+
+- _(TODO: add guidelines with examples and apply them to the codebase)_
+
+    ```cpp
+    #ifdef FOO
+    #endif // FOO
+    ```
+
+# Documentation
+
+- Documentation is a community effort
+- When you need to look into the source code to figure out how to use an API consider adding a short summary to the header file for future reference
+- When you notice incorrect or outdated documentation, please update it
