# Agentic Coding Boilerplate - AI Assistant Guidelines
## Project Overview
This is a Next.js 15 boilerplate for building AI-powered applications with authentication, database, and modern UI components.
### Tech Stack
- **Framework**: Next.js 15 with App Router, React 19, TypeScript
- **AI Integration**: Vercel AI SDK 5 + OpenRouter (access to 100+ AI models)
- **Authentication**: BetterAuth with Google OAuth
- **Database**: PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM
- **UI**: shadcn/ui components with Tailwind CSS 4
- **Styling**: Tailwind CSS with dark mode support (next-themes)
## AI Integration with OpenRouter
### Key Points
- This project uses **OpenRouter** as the AI provider, NOT direct OpenAI
- OpenRouter provides access to 100+ AI models through a single unified API
- Default model: `openai/gpt-5-mini` (configurable via `OPENROUTER_MODEL` env var)
- Users browse models at: https://openrouter.ai/models
- Users get API keys from: https://openrouter.ai/settings/keys
### AI Implementation Files
- `src/app/api/chat/route.ts` - Chat API endpoint using OpenRouter
- Package: `@openrouter/ai-sdk-provider` (not `@ai-sdk/openai`)
- Import: `import { openrouter } from "@openrouter/ai-sdk-provider"`

## Environment Variables
Required environment variables (see `env.example`):
```env
# Database
POSTGRES_URL=postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/db_name
# Better Auth
BETTER_AUTH_SECRET=32-char-random-string
# Google OAuth
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your-google-client-id
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-google-client-secret
# AI via OpenRouter
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-your-key
OPENROUTER_MODEL=openai/gpt-5-mini # or any model from openrouter.ai/models
# App
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL=http://localhost:3000
# File Storage (optional)
BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN= # Leave empty for local dev, set for Vercel Blob in production
```
## Available Scripts
```bash
npm run dev # Start dev server (DON'T run this yourself - ask user)
npm run build # Build for production (runs db:migrate first)
npm run start # Start production server
npm run lint # Run ESLint (ALWAYS run after changes)
npm run typecheck # TypeScript type checking (ALWAYS run after changes)
npm run db:generate # Generate database migrations
npm run db:migrate # Run database migrations
npm run db:push # Push schema changes to database
npm run db:studio # Open Drizzle Studio (database GUI)
npm run db:dev # Push schema for development
npm run db:reset # Reset database (drop all tables)
```
## Documentation Files
The project includes technical documentation in `docs/`:
- `docs/technical/ai/streaming.md` - AI streaming implementation guide
- `docs/technical/ai/structured-data.md` - Structured data extraction
- `docs/technical/react-markdown.md` - Markdown rendering guide
- `docs/technical/betterauth/polar.md` - Polar payment integration
- `docs/business/starter-prompt.md` - Business context for AI prompts
## Guidelines for AI Assistants
### CRITICAL RULES
1. **ALWAYS run lint and typecheck** after completing changes:
```bash
npm run lint && npm run typecheck
```
2. **NEVER start the dev server yourself**
- If you need dev server output, ask the user to provide it
- Don't run `npm run dev` or `pnpm dev`
3. **Use OpenRouter, NOT OpenAI directly**
- Import from `@openrouter/ai-sdk-provider`
- Use `openrouter()` function, not `openai()`
- Model names follow OpenRouter format: `provider/model-name`
4. **Styling Guidelines**
- Stick to standard Tailwind CSS utility classes
- Use shadcn/ui color tokens (e.g., `bg-background`, `text-foreground`)
- Avoid custom colors unless explicitly requested
- Support dark mode with appropriate Tailwind classes
5. **Authentication**
- Server-side: Import from `@/lib/auth` (Better Auth instance)
- Client-side: Import hooks from `@/lib/auth-client`
- Protected routes should check session in Server Components
- Use existing auth components from `src/components/auth/`
6. **Database Operations**
- Use Drizzle ORM (imported from `@/lib/db`)
- Schema is defined in `@/lib/schema`
- Always run migrations after schema changes
- PostgreSQL is the database (not SQLite, MySQL, etc.)
7. **File Storage**
- Use the storage abstraction from `@/lib/storage`
- Automatically uses local storage (dev) or Vercel Blob (production)
- Import: `import { upload, deleteFile } from "@/lib/storage"`
- Example: `const result = await upload(buffer, "avatar.png", "avatars")`
- Storage switches based on `BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN` environment variable
8. **Component Creation**
- Use existing shadcn/ui components when possible
- Follow the established patterns in `src/components/ui/`
- Support both light and dark modes
- Use TypeScript with proper types
9. **API Routes**
- Follow Next.js 15 App Router conventions
- Use Route Handlers (route.ts files)
- Return Response objects
- Handle errors appropriately
### Best Practices
- Read existing code patterns before creating new features
- Maintain consistency with established file structure
- Use the documentation files when implementing related features
- Test changes with lint and typecheck before considering complete
- When modifying AI functionality, refer to `docs/technical/ai/` guides
### Common Tasks
**Adding a new page:**
1. Create in `src/app/[route]/page.tsx`
2. Use Server Components by default
3. Add to navigation if needed
**Adding a new API route:**
1. Create in `src/app/api/[route]/route.ts`
2. Export HTTP method handlers (GET, POST, etc.)
3. Use proper TypeScript types
**Adding authentication to a page:**
1. Import auth instance: `import { auth } from "@/lib/auth"`
2. Get session: `const session = await auth.api.getSession({ headers: await headers() })`
3. Check session and redirect if needed
**Working with the database:**
1. Update schema in `src/lib/schema.ts`
2. Generate migration: `npm run db:generate`
3. Apply migration: `npm run db:migrate`
4. Import `db` from `@/lib/db` to query
**Modifying AI chat:**
1. Backend: `src/app/api/chat/route.ts`
2. Frontend: `src/app/chat/page.tsx`
3. Reference streaming docs: `docs/technical/ai/streaming.md`
4. Remember to use OpenRouter, not direct OpenAI
**Working with file storage:**
1. Import storage functions: `import { upload, deleteFile } from "@/lib/storage"`
2. Upload files: `const result = await upload(fileBuffer, "filename.png", "folder")`
3. Delete files: `await deleteFile(result.url)`
4. Storage automatically uses local filesystem in dev, Vercel Blob in production
5. Local files are saved to `public/uploads/` and served at `/uploads/`
## Package Manager
This project uses **pnpm** (see `pnpm-lock.yaml`). When running commands:
- Use `pnpm` instead of `npm` when possible
- Scripts defined in package.json work with `pnpm run [script]`
