+# High level design
+
+Cyclone has a similar architecture to other modern compilers:
+
+<img src="docs/images/compiler.png" alt="flowchart of cyclone compiler">
+
+First, an input file containing Scheme code is received on the command line and loaded into an abstract syntax tree (AST) by Cyclone's parser. From there a series of source-to-source transformations are performed on the AST to expand macros, perform optimizations, and make the code easier to compile to C. These intermediate representations (IR) can be printed out in a readable format to aid debugging. The final AST is then output as a `.c` file and the C compiler is invoked to create the final executable or object file.
+
+Programs are linked with the necessary Scheme libraries and the Cyclone runtime library to create an executable:

+
+For more high-level overview of the project a good place to start is [Writing the Cyclone Scheme Compiler](docs/Writing-the-Cyclone-Scheme-Compiler-Revised-2017.md).
+
+# Code Map
+
+The Cyclone [API Documentation](docs/API.md) provides more details on the individual modules within these directories as well as code-level API documentation.
+
+## scheme/
+
+Code for the built-in Scheme standard libraries lives at the top level of this directory. In general all of the code here is written to conform to the Scheme R7RS specification.
+
+## scheme/cyclone
+
+Scheme code for the Cyclone compiler itself lives here as a set of libraries.
+
+There are front-end programs at the top-level of the Cyclone repository that use these libraries:
+
+- `cyclone.scm` for the compiler
+- `icyc.scm` for the interpreter
+
+## srfi/
+
+Implementations of various Scheme SRFI's that are distributed directly with Cyclone.
+
+In general the recommended way to distribute SRFI's is to use the Winds package manager. At this point there would need to be a very good reason to include a new SRFI here in the main Cyclone repository.
+
+## runtime.c
+
+Most of the code for the C runtime lives here including primitives and the minor GC.
+
+Code here is often written in a continuation passing style because Cheney on the MTA is used as the minor garbage collecting mechanism.
+
+TODO: for example
+
+## gc.c
+
+Module for the major garbage collector.
+
+For comprehensive design documentation on the major collector see the [Garbage Collector](Garbage-Collector-Revised-2022.md) documentation.
+
+## mstreams.c
+
+Code for in-memory streams. Some of this is platform-specific.
+
+# Setting up a Development Environment
+
+See the [Development Guide](docs/Development.md).
+
+This includes instructions on building and debugging the compiler.
+
+# Building

+
+# Debugging
+
+TBD: compiler flags, compilation settings, what else?
+TODO: just include in dev guide
