+## About SharpCompress
+SharpCompress is a pure C# compression library supporting multiple archive formats (Zip, Tar, GZip, BZip2, 7Zip, Rar, LZip, XZ, ZStandard) for .NET Framework 4.62, .NET Standard 2.1, .NET 6.0, and .NET 8.0. The library provides both seekable Archive APIs and forward-only Reader/Writer APIs for streaming scenarios.
 
 ## C# Instructions
 - Always use the latest version C#, currently C# 13 features.
 - Write clear and concise comments for each function.
+- Follow the existing code style and patterns in the codebase.
 
 ## General Instructions
 - Make only high confidence suggestions when reviewing code changes.
 - Write code with good maintainability practices, including comments on why certain design decisions were made.
 - Handle edge cases and write clear exception handling.
 - For libraries or external dependencies, mention their usage and purpose in comments.
+- Preserve backward compatibility when making changes to public APIs.

+## SharpCompress-Specific Guidelines
+
+### Supported Formats
+SharpCompress supports multiple archive and compression formats:
+- **Archive Formats**: Zip, Tar, 7Zip, Rar (read-only)
+- **Compression**: DEFLATE, BZip2, LZMA/LZMA2, PPMd, ZStandard (decompress only), Deflate64 (decompress only)
+- **Combined Formats**: Tar.GZip, Tar.BZip2, Tar.LZip, Tar.XZ, Tar.ZStandard
+- See FORMATS.md for complete format support matrix
+
+### Stream Handling Rules
+- **Disposal**: As of version 0.21, SharpCompress closes wrapped streams by default
+- Use `ReaderOptions` or `WriterOptions` with `LeaveStreamOpen = true` to control stream disposal
+- Use `NonDisposingStream` wrapper when working with compression streams directly to prevent disposal
+- Always dispose of readers, writers, and archives in `using` blocks
+- For forward-only operations, use Reader/Writer APIs; for random access, use Archive APIs
+
+### Async/Await Patterns
+- All I/O operations support async/await with `CancellationToken`
+- Async methods follow the naming convention: `MethodNameAsync`
+- Key async methods:
+  - `WriteEntryToAsync` - Extract entry asynchronously
+  - `WriteAllToDirectoryAsync` - Extract all entries asynchronously
+  - `WriteAsync` - Write entry asynchronously
+  - `WriteAllAsync` - Write directory asynchronously
+  - `OpenEntryStreamAsync` - Open entry stream asynchronously
+- Always provide `CancellationToken` parameter in async methods
+
+### Archive APIs vs Reader/Writer APIs
+- **Archive API**: Use for random access with seekable streams (e.g., `ZipArchive`, `TarArchive`)
+- **Reader API**: Use for forward-only reading on non-seekable streams (e.g., `ZipReader`, `TarReader`)
+- **Writer API**: Use for forward-only writing on streams (e.g., `ZipWriter`, `TarWriter`)
+- 7Zip only supports Archive API due to format limitations
+
+### Tar-Specific Considerations
+- Tar format requires file size in the header
+- If no size is specified to TarWriter and the stream is not seekable, an exception will be thrown
+- Tar combined with compression (GZip, BZip2, LZip, XZ) is supported
+
+### Zip-Specific Considerations
+- Supports Zip64 for large files (seekable streams only)
+- Supports PKWare and WinZip AES encryption
+- Multiple compression methods: None, Shrink, Reduce, Implode, DEFLATE, Deflate64, BZip2, LZMA, PPMd
+- Encrypted LZMA is not supported
+
+### Performance Considerations
+- For large files, use Reader/Writer APIs with non-seekable streams to avoid loading entire file in memory
+- Leverage async I/O for better scalability
+- Consider compression level trade-offs (speed vs. size)
+- Use appropriate buffer sizes for stream operations
+
 ## Testing
 
 - Always include test cases for critical paths of the application.
-- Guide users through creating unit tests.
+- Test with multiple archive formats when making changes to core functionality.
+- Include tests for both Archive and Reader/Writer APIs when applicable.
+- Test async operations with cancellation tokens.
 - Do not emit "Act", "Arrange" or "Assert" comments.
 - Copy existing style in nearby files for test method names and capitalization.
-- Explain integration testing approaches for API endpoints.
-- Demonstrate how to mock dependencies for effective testing.
-- Show how to test authentication and authorization logic.
-- Explain test-driven development principles as applied to API development.
-
-## Performance Optimization
-
-- Guide users on implementing caching strategies (in-memory, distributed, response caching).
-- Explain asynchronous programming patterns and why they matter for API performance.
-- Demonstrate pagination, filtering, and sorting for large data sets.
-- Show how to implement compression and other performance optimizations.
-- Explain how to measure and benchmark API performance.
+- Use test archives from `tests/TestArchives` directory for consistency.
+- Test stream disposal and `LeaveStreamOpen` behavior.
+- Test edge cases: empty archives, large files, corrupted archives, encrypted archives.

+## Async Usage
+
+SharpCompress now provides full async/await support for all I/O operations, allowing for better performance and scalability in modern applications.
+
+### Async Reading Examples
+
+Extract entries asynchronously:
+```csharp
+using (Stream stream = File.OpenRead("archive.zip"))
+using (var reader = ReaderFactory.Open(stream))
+{
+    while (reader.MoveToNextEntry())
+    {
+        if (!reader.Entry.IsDirectory)
+        {
+            // Async extraction
+            await reader.WriteEntryToDirectoryAsync(
+                @"C:\temp",
+                new ExtractionOptions() { ExtractFullPath = true, Overwrite = true },
+                cancellationToken
+            );
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Extract all entries to directory asynchronously:
+```csharp
+using (Stream stream = File.OpenRead("archive.tar.gz"))
+using (var reader = ReaderFactory.Open(stream))
+{
+    await reader.WriteAllToDirectoryAsync(
+        @"C:\temp",
+        new ExtractionOptions() { ExtractFullPath = true, Overwrite = true },
+        cancellationToken
+    );
+}
+```
+
+Open entry stream asynchronously:
+```csharp
+using (var archive = ZipArchive.Open("archive.zip"))
+{
+    foreach (var entry in archive.Entries.Where(e => !e.IsDirectory))
+    {
+        using (var entryStream = await entry.OpenEntryStreamAsync(cancellationToken))
+        {
+            // Process stream asynchronously
+            await entryStream.CopyToAsync(outputStream, cancellationToken);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Async Writing Examples
+
+Write files asynchronously:
+```csharp
+using (Stream stream = File.OpenWrite("output.zip"))
+using (var writer = WriterFactory.Open(stream, ArchiveType.Zip, CompressionType.Deflate))
+{
+    await writer.WriteAsync("file1.txt", fileStream, DateTime.Now, cancellationToken);
+}
+```
+
+Write all files from directory asynchronously:
+```csharp
+using (Stream stream = File.OpenWrite("output.tar.gz"))
+using (var writer = WriterFactory.Open(stream, ArchiveType.Tar, new WriterOptions(CompressionType.GZip)))
+{
+    await writer.WriteAllAsync(@"D:\files", "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories, cancellationToken);
+}
+```
+
+All async methods support `CancellationToken` for graceful cancellation of long-running operations.

 # SharpCompress Usage
 
+## Async/Await Support
+
+SharpCompress now provides full async/await support for all I/O operations. All `Read`, `Write`, and extraction operations have async equivalents ending in `Async` that accept an optional `CancellationToken`. This enables better performance and scalability for I/O-bound operations.
+
+**Key Async Methods:**
+- `reader.WriteEntryToAsync(stream, cancellationToken)` - Extract entry asynchronously  
+- `reader.WriteAllToDirectoryAsync(path, options, cancellationToken)` - Extract all asynchronously
+- `writer.WriteAsync(filename, stream, modTime, cancellationToken)` - Write entry asynchronously
+- `writer.WriteAllAsync(directory, pattern, searchOption, cancellationToken)` - Write directory asynchronously
+- `entry.OpenEntryStreamAsync(cancellationToken)` - Open entry stream asynchronously
+
+See [Async Examples](#async-examples) section below for usage patterns.
+
 ## Stream Rules (changed with 0.21)
 
 When dealing with Streams, the rule should be that you don't close a stream you didn't create. This, in effect, should mean you should always put a Stream in a using block to dispose it.

+### Async Writer Examples
+
+**Write single file asynchronously:**

+using (var writer = WriterFactory.Open(archiveStream, ArchiveType.Zip, CompressionType.Deflate))
+{
+    using (Stream fileStream = File.OpenRead("input.txt"))
