+# AI Agent Instructions for Media File Renamer Project
+
+## Project Description
+
+This is a Python Terminal User Interface (TUI) application for managing media files. It uses the Textual library to provide a curses-like interface in the terminal. The app allows users to scan directories for video files, display them in a hierarchical tree view, and view detailed metadata information including video, audio, and subtitle tracks.
+
+Key features:
+- Recursive directory scanning
+- Tree-based file navigation
+- Detailed metadata extraction and display
+- Color-coded information
+- Keyboard and mouse navigation
+- Extensible for future renaming and editing features
+
+## Technology Stack
+
+- Python 3.11+
+- Textual (TUI framework)
+- Mutagen (audio/video metadata)
+- PyMediaInfo (detailed track information)
+- Python-Magic (MIME type detection)
+- UV (package manager)
+
+## Code Structure
+
+- `main.py`: Main application code
+- `pyproject.toml`: Project configuration and dependencies
+- `README.md`: User documentation
+- `todo.txt`: Development task list
+- `AI_AGENT.md`: This file
+
+## Instructions for AI Agents
+
+### Coding Standards
+
+- Use type hints where possible
+- Follow PEP 8 style guidelines
+- Use descriptive variable and function names
+- Add docstrings for functions and classes
+- Handle exceptions appropriately
+- Use pathlib for file operations
+
+### Development Workflow
+
+1. Read the current code and understand the structure
+2. Check the TODO list for pending tasks
+3. Implement features incrementally
+4. Test changes by running the app with `uv run python main.py [directory]`
+5. Update TODO list as tasks are completed
+6. Ensure backward compatibility
+
+### Key Components
+
+- `RenamerApp`: Main application class inheriting from Textual's App
+- `MediaTree`: Custom Tree widget with file-specific styling
+- `get_media_tracks`: Function to extract media track information
+- Various helper functions for formatting and detection
+
+### Future Enhancements
+
+- File renaming functionality
+- Batch operations
+- Advanced metadata editing
+- Plugin system for different media types
+
+### Testing
+
+- Run the app with `uv run python main.py [directory]`
+- Test navigation, selection, and display
+- Verify metadata extraction accuracy
+- Check for any errors or edge cases
+
+### Contribution Guidelines
+
+- Make small, focused changes
+- Update documentation as needed
+- Ensure the app runs without errors
+- Follow the existing code patterns
+
+This document should be updated as the project evolves.
