 ### Repository Updates
-- **Frequency**: Weekly or before starting new package development
-- **Method**: Run `./UpstreamVendor-Update.sh`
-- **Verification**: Check for breaking changes in upstream
+- Run `./UpstreamVendor-Update.sh` periodically or before starting packaging work
+- Check for breaking changes in upstream before building
 
 ## ⚠️ Important Notes
 
 ### Git Exclusions
-- **Docker/**: All contents are gitignored
-- **NonDocker/**: All contents are gitignored
-- This keeps the main repository clean while preserving access to sources
+- `Docker/` and `NonDocker/` are gitignored (see repo `.gitignore`)
+- Keeps the repo slim while preserving local sources
 
 ### Repository Integrity
-- Never commit upstream sources to the main repository
-- Use temporary directories for package development
-- Move final packages to `CloudronPackages/` when complete
+- Never commit upstream sources to the repository
+- Develop packages outside of `Docker/` (e.g., directly under `CloudronPackages/<AppName>`)
