AGENTS.md - AI Coding Agent Reference

This file provides project-specific guidance for AI coding agents working in this repository. It reflects the current architecture and migration status of the codebase.


Project Overview

This project is a Next.js admin dashboard starter that is being migrated from template scaffolding to an app-owned architecture.

Current core stack:

  • Framework: Next.js 16 (App Router)
  • Language: TypeScript 5.7
  • UI: shadcn/ui + Tailwind CSS v4
  • Authentication: Auth.js
  • Persistence: PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM
  • Data Fetching: TanStack React Query
  • URL State: nuqs
  • Forms: TanStack Form + Zod
  • Charts: Recharts
  • Monitoring: Sentry
  • Package Manager: Bun preferred, npm acceptable

Current migration status:

  • Auth has been moved to Auth.js
  • Multi-tenant data now uses app-owned users, organizations, and memberships
  • products has been migrated to Route Handlers + Drizzle
  • users has been migrated to Route Handlers + Drizzle
  • RBAC now uses a global users.system_role plus organization-scoped memberships.role
  • self-service sign-up is disabled; accounts must be created by an admin
  • some legacy pages still exist as placeholders or transitional seams

Governance Layer

This repository now treats governance documentation as implementation input, not optional background reading.

Before any task that changes behavior, architecture, permissions, reporting, exports, PDFs, approvals, or CRM workflow, agents must review the relevant standards and foundations first.

Primary governance documents:

  • AGENTS.md
  • docs/standards/task-contract-template.md
  • docs/standards/task-catalog.md
  • docs/standards/project-foundations.md
  • docs/standards/architecture-rules.md
  • docs/standards/ui-ux-rules.md
  • docs/standards/task-review-checklist.md
  • docs/adr/**
  • docs/business/**
  • docs/security/**
  • docs/implementation/** for the related feature lineage

Task Execution Rules

All tasks follow these rules:

  • review first; implementation without review is prohibited
  • reuse existing foundations before creating new modules, helpers, or flows
  • extend existing services before creating duplicate services
  • extend existing route groups before creating duplicate APIs
  • extend existing permission models before creating duplicate permission systems
  • extend existing export/report foundations before creating duplicate export flows
  • keep business logic in feature service layers, not in route handlers or client components
  • document any exception when an existing foundation cannot be reused

Required review order for non-trivial work:

  1. AGENTS.md
  2. docs/standards/**
  3. relevant docs/adr/**
  4. relevant docs/business/**
  5. related completed tasks from docs/standards/task-catalog.md and docs/implementation/**
  6. existing foundations under src/features/foundation/**
  7. existing feature implementations under src/features/**
  8. existing APIs under src/app/api/**
  9. permission and access enforcement under src/lib/auth/**, src/features/crm/security/**, and docs/security/**
  10. existing audit patterns under src/features/foundation/audit-log/**

Historical Knowledge Rule

Before implementing any feature:

  1. review related foundations
  2. review related ADRs
  3. review related completed tasks from docs/standards/task-catalog.md
  4. reuse before creating

Implementation without historical review is prohibited.

Required Foundations

The following reusable foundations are mandatory whenever the task touches their area:

  • Audit Foundation: src/features/foundation/audit-log/**
  • Approval Foundation: src/features/foundation/approval/**
  • Storage Foundation: src/features/foundation/storage/** and src/features/foundation/document-artifact/**
  • PDF Foundation: src/features/foundation/pdf-generator/** and src/features/crm/quotations/document/**
  • Report Foundation: src/features/crm/reports/**, docs/adr/0017-report-foundation.md
  • CRM Authorization Foundation: src/lib/auth/crm-access.ts, src/features/crm/security/**, docs/security/**
  • Customer Ownership Foundation: docs/adr/0015-customer-ownership-contact-sharing.md, src/features/crm/customers/**
  • Contact Sharing Foundation: docs/adr/0015-customer-ownership-contact-sharing.md, src/app/api/crm/customers/[id]/contacts/[contactId]/shares/**

If a task touches CRM leads, enquiries, quotations, approvals, reports, exports, storage, or PDFs, agents must explicitly check whether one of these foundations already solves part of the problem.

Architecture Constraints

Frontend constraints:

  • Next.js App Router only
  • server components first
  • PageContainer for dashboard page headers
  • shadcn/ui primitives and existing app UI wrappers
  • TanStack React Query with server prefetch + HydrationBoundary + client useSuspenseQuery() for data-heavy app pages
  • TanStack Form + Zod for forms
  • nuqs for URL state
  • existing CRM terminology helpers and Thai labels for business-facing CRM UI

Backend constraints:

  • Route Handlers are the main HTTP boundary
  • feature service layer owns business logic
  • Drizzle ORM owns database access
  • auth and organization access go through @/auth and src/lib/auth/session.ts
  • CRM scope resolution goes through resolved-access helpers, not direct role-string branching
  • audit logging goes through src/features/foundation/audit-log/service.ts

Forbidden patterns:

  • Redux for new application state
  • SWR for new server-state fetching
  • React Hook Form for new forms in this repo
  • direct database access from client components
  • business logic inside route handlers
  • new Clerk usage
  • direct role-string authorization such as if (role === 'sales')
  • report-specific export systems that bypass src/features/crm/reports/server/exports/service.ts

Mandatory Task Review

Before implementation, every non-trivial task must review:

  • reusable foundations
  • relevant ADRs
  • related completed tasks from docs/standards/task-catalog.md
  • related existing APIs
  • permission and scope enforcement
  • audit events and existing entity/action naming
  • duplication risk across services, routes, exports, datasets, and UI shells

Implementation without this review is prohibited.


Technology Stack Details

Core Runtime

  • Next.js 16.x with App Router
  • React 19.x
  • TypeScript strict mode

Styling & UI

  • Tailwind CSS v4
  • shadcn/ui components
  • CSS custom properties and theme registry

State Management

  • Zustand for local UI state
  • nuqs for URL search params
  • TanStack Form + Zod for forms

Data Fetching

  • TanStack React Query for server state
  • server prefetch with HydrationBoundary + dehydrate
  • useSuspenseQuery() for client consumption of prefetched data

Authentication & Authorization

  • Auth.js for authentication
  • app-owned organizations and memberships for multi-tenant access
  • global system role stored on users.system_role
  • organization role and permissions stored on memberships
  • client-side nav filtering is UX-only; real protection must be server-side

Persistence & APIs

  • PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM
  • Route Handlers under src/app/api/** are the main server boundary
  • feature services call those route handlers through src/lib/api-client.ts
  • mock APIs remain only as legacy migration seams

Current Auth Model

The current auth model is app-owned and centered around:

  • users
  • organizations
  • memberships

Important files:

  • src/auth.ts - Auth.js config and exported helpers
  • src/lib/auth/session.ts - shared server-side auth helpers
  • src/proxy.ts - route protection
  • src/db/schema.ts - current database schema

Current behavior:

  • authentication uses an Auth.js Credentials provider
  • passwords are verified against users.password_hash
  • global RBAC uses users.system_role with super_admin | user
  • organization RBAC uses memberships.role with admin | user
  • the user row stores active_organization_id
  • session enrichment loads organization and membership data on each request
  • self-service sign-up is disabled
  • initial super admin bootstrap is done with the seed script, not through the UI

Preferred server-side helpers:

  • requireSession()
  • requireSystemRole()
  • requireOrganizationAccess(options?)

Do not introduce new Clerk usage.

Environment Configuration

Copy env.example.txt to .env.local and configure:

Required

AUTH_SECRET=your-long-random-secret
DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/training_system
SUPER_ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@example.com
SUPER_ADMIN_PASSWORD=change-this-password

Optional for Sentry

NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN=https://...@....ingest.sentry.io/...
NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_ORG=your-org
NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_PROJECT=your-project
SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN=sntrys_...
NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DISABLED="false"

Notes:

  • keep auth and database secrets server-only
  • OAuth providers can be added later through Auth.js
  • billing is currently modeled as app-owned organization plan data, not a live provider integration
  • run npm run setup:db on first setup to apply migrations and seed the initial super admin

Code Style Guidelines

TypeScript

  • strict mode enabled
  • use explicit return types for public functions when useful
  • prefer interface for object contracts
  • use @/* imports from src

Component Conventions

  • use function declarations for components
  • server components by default
  • add 'use client' only when needed
  • use cn() for className merging

Forms

  • use TanStack Form via useAppForm from @/components/ui/tanstack-form
  • use Zod for submit validation
  • avoid useState inside AppField render props

Buttons

  • use <Button isLoading={isPending}> for loading states

Navigation & RBAC

Navigation is configured in src/config/nav-config.ts.

Current access properties:

  • systemRole
  • requireOrg
  • permission
  • role
  • plan
  • feature

Notes:

  • systemRole is for global access such as super_admin
  • requireOrg remains a compatibility seam and means the user must have an active organization
  • nav filtering in src/hooks/use-nav.ts uses Auth.js session data
  • server routes and server pages must enforce real access independently

Authentication Patterns

Protected Routes

Dashboard routes are protected through src/proxy.ts.

Example protected page:

import { auth } from '@/auth';
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation';

export default async function Page() {
  const session = await auth();

  if (!session?.user) {
    redirect('/auth/sign-in');
  }

  if (!session.user.activeOrganizationId) {
    redirect('/dashboard/workspaces');
  }

  return <div>Protected</div>;
}

Shared Server Helpers

Prefer:

  • requireSession()
  • requireSystemRole()
  • requireOrganizationAccess(options?)

Plan / Feature Gating

Do not use vendor-specific gating components.

Read plan or feature state from app-owned organization data and enforce it server-side.


Data Fetching Patterns

Service Layer Architecture

Each feature should use:

src/features/<name>/api/
  types.ts
  service.ts
  queries.ts
  mutations.ts   # when mutations exist

Rules:

  • components import types from types.ts
  • components call query options from queries.ts
  • services call local route handlers through apiClient
  • route handlers talk to Drizzle / database

Backend Patterns

Preferred patterns in this repo:

Pattern Guidance
Route Handlers + ORM Preferred for app-owned features
Server Actions + ORM Acceptable when it fits the feature well
BFF Acceptable when proxying to an external backend
Mock Legacy only, not the preferred path

React Query

Preferred pattern for new pages:

  1. define query options in queries.ts
  2. prefetch in the server page
  3. hydrate with HydrationBoundary
  4. read with useSuspenseQuery()

Required pattern for CRUD mutations:

  1. every feature must define centralized query key factories in queries.ts
  2. use grouped keys such as all, lists(), list(filters), details(), detail(id), plus child-resource keys like contacts(id) or followups(id) when needed
  3. after create, explicitly invalidate the list-level key
  4. after update, explicitly invalidate both list and detail keys
  5. after delete, explicitly invalidate the list key and remove stale detail queries with removeQueries
  6. invalidate related queries affected by the mutation, such as counts, child tabs, document previews, approval panels, and cross-feature related lists
  7. do not rely on staleTime alone to refresh production CRUD data
  8. do not rely on router.refresh() alone for CRUD freshness; React Query invalidation is required first, and router.refresh() is optional only as a supplement

Mutation callback safety rule:

  • if a shared mutation object from api/mutations.ts is spread into useMutation({ ...sharedMutation, ... }), do not override onSuccess or onSettled in a way that drops cache invalidation
  • prefer keeping cache invalidation inside the shared mutation definition
  • if component-level success behavior is needed, either:
    • put invalidation in shared onSettled and keep UI concerns like toast and closing dialogs in component onSuccess, or
    • call the shared invalidate helper explicitly from the component before closing the sheet/dialog

UI completion rule after successful mutation:

  • close sheet/dialog only after the mutation promise resolves successfully
  • table/detail views must show fresh data immediately without a full browser refresh
  • related tabs and counts must refresh in the same interaction when their backing data changed

URL State

Use nuqs for table search params and list filters.

Tables

Use:

  • TanStack Table
  • React Query
  • useDataTable
  • column definitions under the feature component tree

Current Migration Guidance

Use the migrated products feature as the main reference for new CRUD work.

Important current status:

  • products is migrated to Auth.js + Route Handlers + Drizzle
  • users is migrated to Auth.js + Route Handlers + Drizzle
  • new features should follow the products and users pattern, not the old mock pattern

Legacy seams still present:

  • src/constants/mock-api.ts
  • src/constants/mock-api-users.ts
  • some placeholder pages under workspaces, billing, profile, and exclusive sections

Treat those as migration seams, not target architecture.


Deployment Notes

Production Requirements

Ensure these are set:

  • AUTH_SECRET
  • DATABASE_URL
  • SUPER_ADMIN_EMAIL
  • SUPER_ADMIN_PASSWORD
  • relevant SENTRY_* variables if using Sentry

Build Considerations

  • app builds as standalone
  • database migrations must be applied before runtime
  • production secrets must not be exposed as NEXT_PUBLIC_*

Troubleshooting

Auth fails in development

  • verify AUTH_SECRET
  • verify DATABASE_URL
  • verify migrations are applied
  • verify the super admin seed has run and seeded users have valid password_hash

Theme not applying

  • verify theme CSS import in src/styles/theme.css
  • verify theme registration in theme.config.ts

Navigation items not showing

  • check access in nav-config.ts
  • verify session has active organization, role, or permissions as needed

Feature data looks stale

  • verify mutation invalidates the feature query key factory
  • verify filters are included in the query key

Notes for AI Agents

  1. Always use cn() for className merging.
  2. Respect the feature-based structure and keep new work inside src/features/.
  3. Server components are the default.
  4. Avoid any; keep contracts explicit.
  5. Use PageContainer for page headers instead of importing Heading directly in pages.
  6. Use TanStack Form + Zod via the existing project wrappers.
  7. Use icons only through @/components/icons.
  8. For new app-owned features, prefer Route Handlers + Drizzle + React Query.
  9. Never import from @/constants/mock-api* directly in components.
  10. Use @/auth and src/lib/auth/session.ts for auth and organization checks.
  11. Do not introduce new Clerk usage.
  12. Treat legacy mock-backed modules as migration seams.
  13. Follow the migrated products and users feature patterns when building new CRUD modules.
  14. Do not re-enable self-service sign-up unless the product requirement changes explicitly.
  15. For every CRUD mutation, explicitly invalidate React Query caches for list/detail/related data; never rely on passive staleness recovery.
  16. Centralize query keys in each feature's api/queries.ts; do not scatter manual string query keys in components.
  17. When deleting entities, remove stale detail queries with removeQueries in addition to invalidating lists.
  18. If a component overrides useMutation callbacks on top of a shared mutation config, preserve or explicitly call the shared invalidation behavior before closing UI.
  19. After successful create/update/delete, sheets, dialogs, and destructive modals must close only after cache invalidation has been triggered and the UI can refresh from fresh data.
  20. Review docs/standards/**, relevant docs/adr/**, docs/business/**, and docs/security/** before implementing non-trivial changes.
  21. Review related completed task notes in docs/standards/task-catalog.md and docs/implementation/** before implementing non-trivial changes.
  22. Reuse foundations under src/features/foundation/** and src/features/crm/** before introducing new services, routes, permissions, exports, or datasets.
  23. Do not create duplicate report/export/PDF/approval/security plumbing when a project foundation already exists.
  24. CRM authorization must flow through resolved access helpers such as resolveCrmMembershipAccess(), buildCrmSecurityContext(), or report-context builders; do not authorize with raw role strings alone.

Before implementing any task, review:

  • AGENTS.md
  • docs/standards/*
  • docs/standards/task-catalog.md
  • related ADRs
  • related completed task documents

Implementation without review is prohibited.
