+# OpNode.Core Project Setup
+
+This document summarizes the implementation of Issue #65 - Setup OpNode.Core and Test Projects.
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+OpNode.Core/                    # Class library (no UI dependencies)
+├── OpNode.Core.csproj         # .NET 8.0 project file
+├── ValidationResult.cs        # Result structure for validation operations
+└── NamingValidator.cs         # Base service for naming validation
+
+OpNode.Core.Tests/             # Unit test project  
+├── OpNode.Core.Tests.csproj   # MSTest project file with reference to OpNode.Core
+├── ValidationResultTests.cs   # Tests for ValidationResult structure
+└── NamingValidatorTests.cs    # Tests for NamingValidator service
+
+OpNode.Core.sln                # Solution file containing both projects
+```
+
+## Implemented Components
+
+### ValidationResult Class
+- Location: `OpNode.Core.Validation.ValidationResult`
+- Purpose: Represents the result of validation operations
+- Features:
+  - `IsValid` property indicating success/failure
+  - `ErrorMessage` property for failure details
+  - Static factory methods: `Success()` and `Failure(string)`
+  - Uses modern C# init-only properties
+
+### NamingValidator Service
+- Location: `OpNode.Core.Services.NamingValidator`
+- Purpose: Provides validation services for naming conventions
+- Methods:
+  - `ValidateNotEmpty(string)` - Ensures name is not null/empty/whitespace
+  - `ValidateMinimumLength(string, int)` - Enforces minimum length
+  - `ValidateMaximumLength(string, int)` - Enforces maximum length  
+  - `ValidateCharacters(string)` - Allows only letters, numbers, underscores
+  - `ValidateName(string, int, int)` - Comprehensive validation combining all rules
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+### NamingValidatorTests (10 tests)
+- ValidateNotEmpty with valid/null/empty/whitespace inputs
+- ValidateMinimumLength with valid/invalid lengths
+- ValidateCharacters with valid/invalid characters
+- ValidateName with valid/invalid names
+
+### ValidationResultTests (3 tests)
+- Success factory method
+- Failure factory method  
+- Constructor with init properties
+
+**Total: 13 tests, all passing**
+
+## Architecture Highlights
+
+1. **Zero UI Dependencies**: OpNode.Core has no external dependencies whatsoever
+2. **Modern .NET**: Uses .NET 8.0 with nullable reference types enabled
+3. **Clean Separation**: Core logic completely decoupled from UI layers
+4. **Comprehensive Testing**: Full test coverage demonstrating proper usage
+5. **Extensible Design**: Service-based architecture ready for expansion
+
+## Build Verification
+
+- ✅ `dotnet build OpNode.Core.sln` - Builds successfully with zero warnings
+- ✅ `dotnet test OpNode.Core.sln` - All 13 tests pass
+- ✅ `dotnet list OpNode.Core package` - Confirms zero external dependencies
+- ✅ `dotnet list OpNode.Core reference` - Confirms zero project references
+
+## Usage Example
+
+```csharp
+var validator = new NamingValidator();
+var result = validator.ValidateName("Valid_Name123");
+
+if (result.IsValid)
+{
+    // Name is valid
+}
+else
+{
+    Console.WriteLine($"Validation failed: {result.ErrorMessage}");
+}
+```
+
+This implementation successfully establishes the testable core architecture foundation as required by Epic #64.
