+# PrivX SDK Style Guide
+
+The are a few guidelines to follow when developing or contributing to the PrivX Go SDK.
+This documentation should help to point out those guidelines and read before opening a pull request in order to keep the SDK consistent.

+- [Creating And Initializing New Client](#creating-and-initializing-new-client)
+- [Adding New Handlers And Models](#adding-new-handlers-and-models)
+	- [Naming Conventions for Handler Functions](#naming-conventions-for-handler-functions)
+	- [Parameter Ordering in Handler Functions](#parameter-ordering-in-handler-functions)
+	- [Return Types for Handler Functions](#return-types-for-handler-functions)
+
+## Creating And Initializing New Client
+
+When adding a new client (service) to the SDK, this should be done in the `api` directory.
+The package name should be the service name that is new and is not yet defined in the `api` directory.
+Create a new directory inside `api` with the name of the service and the corresponding files `model.go` which should contain any struct definitions and a `client.go` file containing the API methods and the client constructor.
+
+The client should be initialized as follow:
+```go
+type Client struct {
+	api restapi.Connector
+}
+
+func New(api restapi.Connector) *Client {
+	return &Client{api: api}
+}
+```
+
+There is no need to add the service name to any struct or constructor.
+It will be verbose enough when the client is eventually imported and initialized.
+
+```go
+// initializing new client
+client := rolestore.New(api)
+```
+
+## Adding New Handlers And Models
+
+### Naming Conventions for Handler Functions
+
+Handler function names should follow a consistent structure:
+* Start with a verb describing the action
+* Follow the verb with the subject (the source of the endpoint)
+
+Example:
+```
+	func (c *HostStore) GetHosts() {...} // (get multiple entries)
+	func (c *HostStore) GetHost() {...} // (get one entry)
+	func (c *HostStore) CreateHost() {...}
+	func (c *HostStore) DeleteHost() {...}
+	func (c *HostStore) UpdateHost() {...}
+	func (c *HostStore) SearchHosts() {...}
+```
+
+### Parameter Ordering in Handler Functions
+
+When a function requires parameters, they should be ordered as follows:
+* The ID (or multiple IDs, if applicable) of the source must always come first
+* Any additional parameters with basic types (e.g., string, int) should follow the IDs
+* If required, a structured request body should come after basic-type parameters
+* End with variadic options, e.g., opts ...filters.Option
+
+Example:
+```
+	func (c *HostStore) UpdateHost(hostID string, host *Host, opts ...filters.Option) {...}
+```
+
+### Return Types for Handler Functions
+
+For handlers returning multiple entries, always use the generic `ResultSet` type from the `response` package which has the Count and Item fields defined.
+
+Example:
+```
+func (c *HostStore) GetHosts(...) (*response.ResultSet[Host], error)
+```
+This standardizes response behavior across all handlers, addressing inconsistencies in earlier SDK versions. Avoid returning raw slices like `[]Host`.
+
+For handlers that return an ID (e.g., when creating entries), use the `Identifier` type from the `response` package.
