# ESLint & Prettier Configuration

Setup consistent code quality and formatting with ESLint and Prettier.

## Core Workflow

1. **Install dependencies**: ESLint, Prettier, plugins
2. **Configure ESLint**: Rules and extends
3. **Configure Prettier**: Formatting options
4. **Integrate tools**: ESLint + Prettier
5. **Setup scripts**: Lint and format commands
6. **Add hooks**: Pre-commit validation

## ESLint Flat Config (v9+)

```typescript
// eslint.config.mjs
