 ## Architecture
 
-This is the Ultralytics template for new Python packages — a minimal, fully wired example meant to be copied and adapted. `template/` is the package: `__init__.py` holds `__version__` (read by setuptools dynamic versioning in `pyproject.toml`), and `module1.py` holds the example `add_numbers()`/`main()` backing the `example-cli-command` entry point in `[project.scripts]`. `tests/` demonstrates the same tests in both pytest style (`test_with_pytest.py`) and unittest style (`test_with_unittest.py`). `format.yml` runs Ultralytics Actions on PRs (Ruff, Prettier, codespell, link checks, AI labels/summaries) and commits fixes back to the PR branch.
