 ### Installation
 
 1. Clone and enter the repo
+
    ```sh
    # Optionally, give the cloned folder a more specific name
    gh repo clone unraid/api api-monorepo
    cd api-monorepo
    ```
+
 2. Run the monorepo setup command.
+
    ```sh
    just setup
    ```
+
    This will run installation scripts, container builds, and some git scripts to reduce noise (i.e. personal editor customizations, etc).
 3. Run the API container
+
    ```sh
    cd api
    npm run container:start
    ```
+
 4. This should bring you inside the API container. There, run the following command to start the server:
+
    ```js
    npm run dev
    ```
+
 5. In another terminal, open the project and navigate to the web directory. Then, run the dev server:
+
    ```sh
    cd web
    npm install # just in case

+### Work Intent Process
+
+Before starting development work on this project, you must submit a Work Intent and have it approved by a core developer. This helps prevent duplicate work and ensures changes align with the project's goals.
+
+1. **Create a Work Intent**
+   * Go to [Issues → New Issue → Work Intent](https://github.com/unraid/api/issues/new?template=work_intent.md)
+   * Fill out the brief template describing what you want to work on
+   * The issue will be automatically labeled as `work-intent` and `unapproved`
+
+2. **Wait for Approval**
+   * A core developer will review your Work Intent
+   * They may ask questions or suggest changes
+   * Once approved, the `unapproved` label will be removed
+
+3. **Begin Development**
+   * Only start coding after your Work Intent is approved
+   * Follow the approach outlined in your approved Work Intent
+   * Reference the Work Intent in your future PR
