+## Pattern Library (Coming Soon)
+
+### Common Constraint Patterns
+
+```
+# Dependency constraints
+IF [FeatureA] = "Enabled" THEN [FeatureB] = "Enabled";
+
+# Exclusive options
+IF [PaymentMethod] = "Cash" THEN [InstallmentPlan] = "None";
+
+# Platform limitations
+IF [OS] = "iOS" THEN [Browser] IN {Safari, Chrome};
+
+# Environment restrictions
+IF [Environment] = "Production" THEN [LogLevel] <> "Debug";
+```
+
+### Boundary Value Patterns
+
+```
+# Numeric boundaries
+Age: 0, 17, 18, 64, 65, 100
+
+# Size categories
+FileSize: 0KB, 1KB, 1MB, 100MB, 1GB
+
+# Time periods
+Duration: 0s, 1s, 30s, 60s, 3600s
+```
+
+### Negative Testing Patterns
+
+```
+# Invalid inputs (using ~ prefix in some PICT variants)
+Email: Valid, Invalid, Empty, TooLong
+Password: Strong, Weak, Empty, SpecialChars
+
+# Error conditions
+NetworkStatus: Connected, Slow, Disconnected, Timeout
+```
+
