+# Advent of Code 2023 Solutions
+
+## Overview
+
+This repository contains my personal solutions to the Advent of Code 2023
+challenges, a series of programming puzzles that cover a variety of skill sets
+and problem-solving techniques.
+
+## Building and Running
+
+This project is developed in Rust, and you can build, test, and run it like any
+standard Rust project using Cargo.
+
+```bash
+git clone https://git.sr.ht/~swaits/aoc2023
+cd aoc2023
+cargo run -- ARGUMENT
+```
+
+Where `ARGUMENT` can be:
+
+- A specific day number (e.g., 1, 2, 25) to run the solution for that day's challenge.
+- all to execute all the implemented solutions sequentially.
+
+Running ...
+
+```cash
+cargo test
+```
+
+... will run all the tests for all the days, which include both the example
+inputs and outputs provided in each day's problem description as well as my
+personal user-specific inputs and accepted outputs.
+
+## Implementation
+
+Each dayXX.rs file within the project represents the solution to the problem
+for that specific day of the Advent of Code.
+
+### Error Handling
+
+The program is designed to panic in case of errors. However, such scenarios are
+unlikely as tests cover both the example inputs/outputs provided in the problem
+descriptions and my user-specific data inputs/outputs.
