Leon van Zyl a3a151c67a feat: comprehensive boilerplate improvements
Security & Stability:
- Add Next.js 16 proxy.ts for BetterAuth cookie-based auth protection
- Add rate limiting for API routes (src/lib/rate-limit.ts)
- Add Zod validation for chat API request bodies
- Add session auth check to chat and diagnostics endpoints
- Add security headers in next.config.ts (CSP, X-Frame-Options, etc.)
- Add file upload validation and sanitization in storage.ts

Core UX Components:
- Add error boundaries (error.tsx, not-found.tsx, chat/error.tsx)
- Add loading states (skeleton.tsx, spinner.tsx, loading.tsx files)
- Add toast notifications with Sonner
- Add form components (input.tsx, textarea.tsx, label.tsx)
- Add database indexes for performance (schema.ts)
- Enhance chat UX: timestamps, copy-to-clipboard, thinking indicator,
  error display, localStorage message persistence

Polish & Accessibility:
- Add Open Graph and Twitter card metadata
- Add JSON-LD structured data for SEO
- Add sitemap.ts, robots.ts, manifest.ts
- Add skip-to-content link and ARIA labels in site-header
- Enable profile page quick action buttons with dialogs
- Update Next.js 15 references to Next.js 16

Developer Experience:
- Add GitHub Actions CI workflow (lint, typecheck, build)
- Add Prettier configuration (.prettierrc, .prettierignore)
- Add .nvmrc pinning Node 20
- Add ESLint rules: import/order, react-hooks/exhaustive-deps
- Add stricter TypeScript settings (exactOptionalPropertyTypes,
  noImplicitOverride)
- Add interactive setup script (scripts/setup.ts)
- Add session utility functions (src/lib/session.ts)

I'm working with an agentic coding boilerplate project that includes authentication, database integration, and AI capabilities. Here's what's already set up:

Current Agentic Coding Boilerplate Structure

  • Authentication: Better Auth with Google OAuth integration
  • Database: Drizzle ORM with PostgreSQL setup
  • AI Integration: Vercel AI SDK with OpenAI integration
  • UI: shadcn/ui components with Tailwind CSS
  • Current Routes:
    • / - Home page with setup instructions and feature overview
    • /dashboard - Protected dashboard page (requires authentication)
    • /chat - AI chat interface (requires OpenAI API key)

Important Context

This is an agentic coding boilerplate/starter template - all existing pages and components are meant to be examples and should be completely replaced to build the actual AI-powered application.

CRITICAL: You MUST Override All Boilerplate Content

DO NOT keep any boilerplate components, text, or UI elements unless explicitly requested. This includes:

  • Remove all placeholder/demo content (setup checklists, welcome messages, boilerplate text)
  • Replace the entire navigation structure - don't keep the existing site header or nav items
  • Override all page content completely - don't append to existing pages, replace them entirely
  • Remove or replace all example components (setup-checklist, starter-prompt-modal, etc.)
  • Replace placeholder routes and pages with the actual application functionality

Required Actions:

  1. Start Fresh: Treat existing components as temporary scaffolding to be removed
  2. Complete Replacement: Build the new application from scratch using the existing tech stack
  3. No Hybrid Approach: Don't try to integrate new features alongside existing boilerplate content
  4. Clean Slate: The final application should have NO trace of the original boilerplate UI or content

The only things to preserve are:

  • All installed libraries and dependencies (DO NOT uninstall or remove any packages from package.json)
  • Authentication system (but customize the UI/flow as needed)
  • Database setup and schema (but modify schema as needed for your use case)
  • Core configuration files (next.config.ts, tsconfig.json, tailwind.config.ts, etc.)
  • Build and development scripts (keep all npm/pnpm scripts in package.json)

Tech Stack

  • Next.js 16 with App Router
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Better Auth for authentication
  • Drizzle ORM + PostgreSQL
  • Vercel AI SDK
  • shadcn/ui components
  • Lucide React icons

Component Development Guidelines

Always prioritize shadcn/ui components when building the application:

  1. First Choice: Use existing shadcn/ui components from the project
  2. Second Choice: Install additional shadcn/ui components using pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add <component-name>
  3. Last Resort: Only create custom components or use other libraries if shadcn/ui doesn't provide a suitable option

The project already includes several shadcn/ui components (button, dialog, avatar, etc.) and follows their design system. Always check the shadcn/ui documentation for available components before implementing alternatives.

What I Want to Build

Basic todo list app with the ability for users to add, remove, update, complete and view todos.

Request

Please help me transform this boilerplate into my actual application. You MUST completely replace all existing boilerplate code to match my project requirements. The current implementation is just temporary scaffolding that should be entirely removed and replaced.

Final Reminder: COMPLETE REPLACEMENT REQUIRED

🚨 IMPORTANT: Do not preserve any of the existing boilerplate UI, components, or content. The user expects a completely fresh application that implements their requirements from scratch. Any remnants of the original boilerplate (like setup checklists, welcome screens, demo content, or placeholder navigation) indicate incomplete implementation.

Success Criteria: The final application should look and function as if it was built from scratch for the specific use case, with no evidence of the original boilerplate template.

Post-Implementation Documentation

After completing the implementation, you MUST document any new features or significant changes in the /docs/features/ directory:

  1. Create Feature Documentation: For each major feature implemented, create a markdown file in /docs/features/ that explains:

    • What the feature does
    • How it works
    • Key components and files involved
    • Usage examples
    • Any configuration or setup required
  2. Update Existing Documentation: If you modify existing functionality, update the relevant documentation files to reflect the changes.

  3. Document Design Decisions: Include any important architectural or design decisions made during implementation.

This documentation helps maintain the project and assists future developers working with the codebase.
