+== Guidelines
+
+=== Qt
+* Check pointers with Q_CHECK_PTR before using or returning them.
+* Avoid using connect SIGNAL and SLOT. Instead use &Class::method. This way, connects are checked during the compile, 
+  not at runtime.
+* Where possible, use QVector over QList: http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2017-March/029040.html
+
+=== clazy
+You can use [clazy](https://github.com/KDE/clazy) to check Qt semantics. 
+Requires clang.
+
+To set check levels, set the CLAZY_CHECKS environment variable to 'level0,level1', etc.
+
+==== Setting up in QtCreator
+The simplest way to set it up is to use _clazy_ instead of _clang_.
+
+1. Go to Tools » Options » Build & Run » Compilers
+2. Clone the clang compiler of your choice
+3. Set _Compiler path_ to _/usr/bin/clazy_
