---

## 1. Build and Development Scripts

### Current State

The project has a well-structured `package.json` with essential scripts:

```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev --turbopack",
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "next start",
    "lint": "eslint . --ext .ts,.tsx",
    "lint:fix": "eslint . --ext .ts,.tsx --fix",
    "format": "prettier --write .",
    "format:check": "prettier --check .",
    "type-check": "tsc --noEmit",
    "reindex": "npx tsx scripts/reindex.ts",
    "reindex:force": "npx tsx scripts/reindex.ts --force",
    "reindex:reset": "npx tsx scripts/reindex.ts --reset --stats"
  }
}
```

### Strengths

1. **Turbopack Integration**: Using `--turbopack` flag for faster development builds
2. **Comprehensive Reindex Scripts**: Multiple reindex variants for different use cases
3. **Separate Lint and Format Scripts**: Clear separation of concerns
4. **Type Checking**: Standalone `type-check` script for CI integration

### Recommendations

#### 1.1 Add Development Workflow Scripts (Priority: Medium)

```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev:debug": "NODE_OPTIONS='--inspect' next dev --turbopack",
    "dev:clean": "rm -rf .next && npm run dev",
    "prebuild": "npm run type-check && npm run lint",
    "postbuild": "npm run build:analyze || true",
    "build:analyze": "ANALYZE=true next build",
    "validate": "npm run type-check && npm run lint && npm run format:check"
  }
}
```

#### 1.2 Add Bundle Analysis (Priority: Medium)

Install and configure `@next/bundle-analyzer`:

```bash
npm install -D @next/bundle-analyzer
```

Update `next.config.ts`:

```typescript
import bundleAnalyzer from '@next/bundle-analyzer';

const withBundleAnalyzer = bundleAnalyzer({
  enabled: process.env.ANALYZE === 'true',
});

export default withBundleAnalyzer(nextConfig);
```

#### 1.3 Add Clean Script (Priority: Low)

```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "clean": "rm -rf .next out node_modules/.cache",
    "clean:all": "rm -rf .next out node_modules data/*.db"
  }
}
```

---

## 2. TypeScript Configuration

### Current State

The TypeScript configuration is **excellent** with strict settings enabled:

```json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "strict": true,
    "strictNullChecks": true,
    "strictFunctionTypes": true,
    "strictBindCallApply": true,
    "strictPropertyInitialization": true,
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "noImplicitReturns": true,
    "noImplicitThis": true,
    "noUnusedLocals": true,
    "noUnusedParameters": true,
    "noUncheckedIndexedAccess": true
  }
}
```

### Strengths

1. **Full Strict Mode**: All strict flags enabled
2. **Unused Code Detection**: `noUnusedLocals` and `noUnusedParameters`
3. **Safe Index Access**: `noUncheckedIndexedAccess` prevents undefined access
4. **Path Aliases**: Clean `@/*` imports configured
5. **Next.js Plugin**: TypeScript plugin for enhanced IDE support
6. **Incremental Builds**: Enabled for faster type checking

### Recommendations

#### 2.1 Add Additional Safety Flags (Priority: Low)

```json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "exactOptionalPropertyTypes": true,
    "noPropertyAccessFromIndexSignature": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true
  }
}
```

#### 2.2 Add Declaration Maps for Better Debugging (Priority: Low)

```json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "declarationMap": true,
    "sourceMap": true
  }
}
```

---

## 3. Linting and Formatting Setup

### Current State

**ESLint Configuration** (`eslint.config.mjs`):
- Uses Next.js core-web-vitals and TypeScript configs
- Modern flat config format

**Prettier Configuration** (`.prettierrc`):
- Consistent settings with Tailwind plugin
- Line endings set to LF

### Strengths

1. **Modern ESLint Flat Config**: Using the new configuration format
2. **Tailwind Plugin**: Automatic class sorting with `prettier-plugin-tailwindcss`
3. **Comprehensive Ignore Patterns**: Both `.prettierignore` and ESLint ignores configured

### Recommendations

#### 3.1 Add Import Sorting (Priority: Medium)

Install `eslint-plugin-import` for consistent imports:

```bash
npm install -D eslint-plugin-import eslint-import-resolver-typescript
```

Add import rules to ESLint config:

```javascript
{
  rules: {
    "import/order": ["error", {
      "groups": ["builtin", "external", "internal", "parent", "sibling", "index"],
      "newlines-between": "always",
      "alphabetize": { "order": "asc" }
    }]
  }
}
```

#### 3.2 Add Pre-commit Hooks (Priority: High)

Install Husky and lint-staged:

```bash
npm install -D husky lint-staged
npx husky init
```

Add to `package.json`:

```json
{
  "lint-staged": {
    "*.{ts,tsx}": ["eslint --fix", "prettier --write"],
    "*.{json,md,css}": ["prettier --write"]
  }
}
```

Create `.husky/pre-commit`:

```bash
npx lint-staged
```

#### 3.3 Add EditorConfig (Priority: Low)

Create `.editorconfig`:

```ini
root = true

[*]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 2
end_of_line = lf
charset = utf-8
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true

[*.md]
trim_trailing_whitespace = false
```

---

## 4. Development Tools (Hot Reload, Debugging)

### Current State

- Turbopack enabled for fast refresh
- React Strict Mode enabled
- No debugging utilities configured
- No development-only tooling

### Strengths

1. **Turbopack**: Significantly faster builds than Webpack
2. **React Strict Mode**: Helps catch common bugs during development

### Recommendations

#### 4.1 Add React DevTools Setup (Priority: Medium)

Create `src/lib/dev/devtools.ts`:

```typescript
export function setupDevTools() {
  if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
    // Expose useful debugging info to window
    if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
      (window as any).__CATALOG_DEBUG__ = {
        version: process.env.npm_package_version,
        buildTime: new Date().toISOString(),
      };
    }
  }
}
```

#### 4.2 Add Development Logging Utility (Priority: High)

Create `src/lib/logger.ts`:

```typescript
type LogLevel = 'debug' | 'info' | 'warn' | 'error';

const LOG_LEVELS: Record<LogLevel, number> = {
  debug: 0,
  info: 1,
  warn: 2,
  error: 3,
};

const currentLevel: LogLevel = (process.env.LOG_LEVEL as LogLevel) || 'info';

export const logger = {
  debug: (...args: unknown[]) => {
    if (LOG_LEVELS.debug >= LOG_LEVELS[currentLevel]) {
      console.debug('[DEBUG]', ...args);
    }
  },
  info: (...args: unknown[]) => {
    if (LOG_LEVELS.info >= LOG_LEVELS[currentLevel]) {
      console.info('[INFO]', ...args);
    }
  },
  warn: (...args: unknown[]) => {
    if (LOG_LEVELS.warn >= LOG_LEVELS[currentLevel]) {
      console.warn('[WARN]', ...args);
    }
  },
  error: (...args: unknown[]) => {
    console.error('[ERROR]', ...args);
  },
};
```

#### 4.3 Add VSCode Debug Configuration (Priority: High)

Create `.vscode/launch.json`:

```json
{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Next.js: debug server-side",
      "type": "node-terminal",
      "request": "launch",
      "command": "npm run dev"
    },
    {
      "name": "Next.js: debug client-side",
      "type": "chrome",
      "request": "launch",
      "url": "http://localhost:3000"
    },
    {
      "name": "Next.js: debug full stack",
      "type": "node-terminal",
      "request": "launch",
      "command": "npm run dev",
      "serverReadyAction": {
        "pattern": "- Local:.+(https?://.+)",
        "uriFormat": "%s",
        "action": "debugWithChrome"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

Create `.vscode/settings.json`:

```json
{
  "typescript.tsdk": "node_modules/typescript/lib",
  "typescript.enablePromptUseWorkspaceTsdk": true,
  "editor.formatOnSave": true,
  "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
  "editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
    "source.fixAll.eslint": "explicit"
  }
}
```

#### 4.4 Add Component Development Environment (Priority: Medium)

Consider adding Storybook for component development:

```bash
npx storybook@latest init
```

This enables:
- Isolated component development
- Visual testing
- Component documentation
- Design system exploration

---

## 5. Testing Infrastructure

### Current State: CRITICAL GAP

**No testing infrastructure exists:**
- No test files found (`*.test.ts`, `*.spec.ts`)
- No test runner configured (Jest, Vitest)
- No test utilities or mocks
- No coverage reporting

This is the most critical gap in the developer experience.

### Recommendations

#### 5.1 Add Vitest Testing Framework (Priority: Critical)

Install Vitest and related packages:

```bash
npm install -D vitest @vitejs/plugin-react @testing-library/react @testing-library/jest-dom @testing-library/user-event jsdom
```

Create `vitest.config.ts`:

```typescript
import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config';
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react';
import path from 'path';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react()],
  test: {
    environment: 'jsdom',
    globals: true,
    setupFiles: ['./src/test/setup.ts'],
    include: ['src/**/*.{test,spec}.{ts,tsx}'],
    coverage: {
      provider: 'v8',
      reporter: ['text', 'json', 'html'],
      exclude: [
        'node_modules/',
        'src/test/',
        '**/*.d.ts',
        '**/*.config.*',
      ],
    },
  },
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      '@': path.resolve(__dirname, './src'),
    },
  },
});
```

Create `src/test/setup.ts`:

```typescript
import '@testing-library/jest-dom';
import { vi } from 'vitest';

// Mock Next.js router
vi.mock('next/navigation', () => ({
  useRouter: () => ({
    push: vi.fn(),
    replace: vi.fn(),
    prefetch: vi.fn(),
  }),
  useSearchParams: () => new URLSearchParams(),
  usePathname: () => '/',
}));

// Mock Next.js image
vi.mock('next/image', () => ({
  default: (props: any) => <img {...props} />,
}));
```

#### 5.2 Add Test Scripts (Priority: Critical)

```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "test": "vitest",
    "test:run": "vitest run",
    "test:coverage": "vitest run --coverage",
    "test:ui": "vitest --ui",
    "test:watch": "vitest watch"
  }
}
```

#### 5.3 Add Example Tests (Priority: High)

Create `src/lib/utils.test.ts`:

```typescript
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
import { cn } from './utils';

describe('cn utility', () => {
  it('should merge class names', () => {
    expect(cn('foo', 'bar')).toBe('foo bar');
  });

  it('should handle conditional classes', () => {
    expect(cn('foo', false && 'bar', 'baz')).toBe('foo baz');
  });

  it('should resolve Tailwind conflicts', () => {
    expect(cn('px-2', 'px-4')).toBe('px-4');
  });
});
```

Create `src/components/ui/button.test.tsx`:

```typescript
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event';
import { Button } from './button';

describe('Button component', () => {
  it('should render with children', () => {
    render(<Button>Click me</Button>);
    expect(screen.getByRole('button')).toHaveTextContent('Click me');
  });

  it('should handle click events', async () => {
    const user = userEvent.setup();
    const handleClick = vi.fn();
    render(<Button onClick={handleClick}>Click me</Button>);

    await user.click(screen.getByRole('button'));
    expect(handleClick).toHaveBeenCalledOnce();
  });

  it('should be disabled when disabled prop is true', () => {
    render(<Button disabled>Disabled</Button>);
    expect(screen.getByRole('button')).toBeDisabled();
  });
});
```

#### 5.4 Add API Route Testing (Priority: Medium)

Create `src/app/api/search/route.test.ts`:

```typescript
import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest';
import { GET } from './route';
import { NextRequest } from 'next/server';

// Mock the database
vi.mock('@/lib/db', () => ({
  initializeDatabase: vi.fn(() => ({
    search: vi.fn(() => []),
    close: vi.fn(),
  })),
}));

describe('Search API', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    vi.clearAllMocks();
  });

  it('should return 400 if query is missing', async () => {
    const request = new NextRequest('http://localhost:3000/api/search');
    const response = await GET(request);

    expect(response.status).toBe(400);
  });

  it('should return search results', async () => {
    const request = new NextRequest('http://localhost:3000/api/search?q=test');
    const response = await GET(request);

    expect(response.status).toBe(200);
    const data = await response.json();
    expect(data.success).toBe(true);
  });
});
```

---

## 6. CI/CD Configuration

### Current State

The monorepo has a CI workflow at `.github/workflows/ci.yml`, but it:
- Does not include the catalog package
- Focuses on SDK and VSCode extension only
- No deployment pipeline for the catalog

### Recommendations

#### 6.1 Add Catalog to CI Workflow (Priority: High)

Add a new job to `.github/workflows/ci.yml`:

```yaml
packages-catalog:
  name: Catalog (Node ${{ matrix.node }})
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  timeout-minutes: 15
  strategy:
    matrix:
      node: [18, 20]

  steps:
    - name: Checkout repository
      uses: actions/checkout@v4

    - name: Setup Node.js
      uses: actions/setup-node@v4
      with:
        node-version: ${{ matrix.node }}
        cache: npm

    - name: Install dependencies
      run: npm ci

    - name: Type check
      working-directory: packages/catalog
      run: npm run type-check

    - name: Lint
      working-directory: packages/catalog
      run: npm run lint

    - name: Format check
      working-directory: packages/catalog
      run: npm run format:check

    - name: Build
      working-directory: packages/catalog
      run: npm run build

    - name: Test
      working-directory: packages/catalog
      run: npm run test:run

    - name: Upload coverage
      if: matrix.node == 20
      uses: codecov/codecov-action@v4
      with:
        directory: packages/catalog/coverage
        flags: catalog
```

#### 6.2 Add Preview Deployments (Priority: Medium)

Create `.github/workflows/preview.yml`:

```yaml
name: Preview Deployment

on:
  pull_request:
    paths:
      - 'packages/catalog/**'

jobs:
  deploy-preview:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Deploy to Vercel Preview
        uses: amondnet/vercel-action@v25
        with:
          vercel-token: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }}
          vercel-org-id: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_ORG_ID }}
          vercel-project-id: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_PROJECT_ID }}
          working-directory: packages/catalog
```

## 7. Project Documentation

### Current State: CRITICAL GAP

The README.md is the default Next.js boilerplate with no project-specific documentation:
- No architecture overview
- No setup instructions beyond basic commands
- No contribution guidelines
- No API documentation
- No component documentation

### Recommendations

#### 7.1 Create Comprehensive README (Priority: Critical)

Replace `README.md` with:

```markdown
# Process Library Catalog

A Next.js application for browsing and searching the babysitter process library.

## Features

- Full-text search across processes, agents, and skills
- Hierarchical domain/specialization browsing

```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "docs": "typedoc --out docs/api src/lib"
  }
}
```

## 8. Error Handling and Logging

### Current State

The project has good foundational error handling:
- `ErrorBoundary.tsx` with multiple variants
- API utility functions for consistent error responses
- Basic console logging

### Strengths

1. **Comprehensive ErrorBoundary**: Multiple specialized variants
2. **Standardized API Errors**: Consistent error response format
3. **Development Stack Traces**: Shown in development mode

### Recommendations

#### 8.1 Add Structured Logging (Priority: Medium)

Create `src/lib/logger.ts`:

```typescript
interface LogContext {
  component?: string;
  action?: string;
  userId?: string;
  requestId?: string;
  [key: string]: unknown;
}

export function createLogger(component: string) {
  return {
    info: (message: string, context?: LogContext) =>
      logMessage('info', message, { component, ...context }),
    warn: (message: string, context?: LogContext) =>
      logMessage('warn', message, { component, ...context }),
    error: (message: string, error?: Error, context?: LogContext) =>
      logMessage('error', message, { component, error: error?.stack, ...context }),
    debug: (message: string, context?: LogContext) => {
      if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
        logMessage('debug', message, { component, ...context });
      }
    },
  };
}

function logMessage(level: string, message: string, context: LogContext) {
  const timestamp = new Date().toISOString();
  const logEntry = { timestamp, level, message, ...context };

  if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
    // In production, output structured JSON
    console.log(JSON.stringify(logEntry));
  } else {
    // In development, output readable format
    console[level as 'info' | 'warn' | 'error'](`[${timestamp}] ${message}`, context);
  }
}
```

#### 8.2 Add Error Tracking Integration (Priority: Low)

Prepare for Sentry or similar integration:

```typescript
// src/lib/errors/tracking.ts
export function trackError(error: Error, context?: Record<string, unknown>) {
  // Log locally
  console.error('Tracked error:', error, context);

  // In production, send to error tracking service
  if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' && process.env.SENTRY_DSN) {
    // Sentry.captureException(error, { extra: context });
  }
}
```

---

## 9. Code Organization and Discoverability

### Current State

The project has good organization:
- Clear separation of concerns
- Consistent file naming
- Index files for module exports
- Path aliases configured

### Strengths

1. **Feature-based Component Organization**: Components grouped by feature
2. **Barrel Exports**: Index files for clean imports
3. **Path Aliases**: `@/` prefix for clean imports
4. **Consistent Naming**: PascalCase for components, camelCase for utilities

### Recommendations

#### 9.1 Add Component Index Documentation (Priority: Low)

Add comments to index files explaining the module:

```typescript
// src/components/catalog/index.ts
/**
 * Catalog Components
 *
 * Components for displaying and interacting with catalog entities
 * (processes, agents, skills, domains, specializations).
 *
 * @example
 * import { EntityList, FilterPanel, DetailView } from '@/components/catalog';
 */
export * from './EntityList';
export * from './FilterPanel';
// ...
```

#### 9.2 Add Type Organization (Priority: Medium)

Currently types are split across files. Consider organizing:

```
src/types/
├── index.ts          # Main exports
├── entities.ts       # Domain models
├── api.ts           # API types
├── components.ts    # Component props
└── database.ts      # Database types
```

---

## 10. Automation Opportunities

### Current State

Limited automation beyond basic scripts:
- Manual database indexing
- No automated dependency updates
- No release automation

### Recommendations

#### 10.1 Add Dependabot (Priority: Medium)

Create `.github/dependabot.yml`:

```yaml
version: 2
updates:
  - package-ecosystem: "npm"
    directory: "/packages/catalog"
    schedule:
      interval: "weekly"
    groups:
      production-dependencies:
        patterns:
          - "*"
        exclude-patterns:
          - "@types/*"
          - "eslint*"
          - "prettier*"
          - "*-loader"
      development-dependencies:
        patterns:
          - "@types/*"
          - "eslint*"
          - "prettier*"
```

#### 10.2 Add Database Auto-initialization (Priority: High)

Create a development server wrapper that auto-initializes:

```typescript
// scripts/dev-server.ts
import { spawn } from 'child_process';
import { databaseExists, initializeDatabase } from '../src/lib/db';

async function main() {
  if (!databaseExists()) {
    console.log('Database not found, initializing...');
    await initializeDatabase();
    console.log('Database initialized.');
  }

  spawn('next', ['dev', '--turbopack'], {
    stdio: 'inherit',
    shell: true
  });
}

main();
```

Update package.json:
```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "tsx scripts/dev-server.ts"
  }
}
```

#### 10.3 Add Code Generation Scripts (Priority: Low)

Create component generator:

```bash
# scripts/generate-component.sh
#!/bin/bash
NAME=$1
DIR="src/components/${2:-ui}"

mkdir -p "$DIR"

cat > "$DIR/$NAME.tsx" << EOF
import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';

export interface ${NAME}Props {
  className?: string;
}

export function ${NAME}({ className }: ${NAME}Props) {
  return (
    <div className={cn('', className)}>
      {/* TODO: Implement ${NAME} */}
    </div>
  );
}
EOF

echo "Created $DIR/$NAME.tsx"
```

## 11. Environment Configuration

### Current State

Good foundation with `.env.example`:
- Clear variable documentation
- Sensible defaults
- Feature flags supported

### Strengths

1. **Example File**: `.env.example` provided
2. **Clear Documentation**: Comments explaining each variable
3. **Feature Flags**: `NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_*` pattern

### Recommendations

#### 11.1 Add Environment Validation (Priority: Medium)

Install zod for runtime validation:

```bash
npm install zod
```

Create `src/lib/env.ts`:

```typescript
import { z } from 'zod';

const envSchema = z.object({
  DATABASE_PATH: z.string().default('./data/catalog.db'),
  PROCESS_LIBRARY_PATH: z.string(),
  NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_NAME: z.string().default('Process Library Catalog'),
  NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL: z.string().url().default('http://localhost:3000'),
  NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_SEARCH: z.coerce.boolean().default(true),
  NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_ANALYTICS: z.coerce.boolean().default(false),
  NODE_ENV: z.enum(['development', 'production', 'test']).default('development'),
});

export type Env = z.infer<typeof envSchema>;

function validateEnv(): Env {
  const result = envSchema.safeParse(process.env);

  if (!result.success) {
    console.error('Invalid environment variables:');
    console.error(result.error.format());
    throw new Error('Invalid environment configuration');
  }

  return result.data;
}

export const env = validateEnv();
```

#### 11.2 Add Multiple Environment Support (Priority: Low)

Create environment-specific files:
- `.env.development` - Development defaults
- `.env.production` - Production configuration
- `.env.test` - Test configuration

## Summary of Recommendations

### Critical Priority (Do First)

1. **Add Testing Infrastructure**: Install Vitest, create test setup, add example tests
2. **Create Comprehensive README**: Replace boilerplate with project documentation

### High Priority

3. **Add Pre-commit Hooks**: Husky + lint-staged for quality gates
4. **Add VSCode Debug Configuration**: Enable step-through debugging
5. **Add Catalog to CI Workflow**: Type check, lint, build, test
6. **Add Development Logging Utility**: Structured logging for debugging
7. **Add Database Auto-initialization**: Improve first-run experience

### Medium Priority

8. **Add Import Sorting**: Consistent import organization
9. **Add Bundle Analysis**: Track bundle size
10. **Add Environment Validation**: Runtime config validation
11. **Add JSDoc Comments**: Improve code documentation
12. **Add Storybook**: Component development environment
13. **Add Dependabot**: Automated dependency updates

### Low Priority

14. **Add EditorConfig**: Cross-editor consistency
15. **Add TypeScript Extra Flags**: Additional type safety
16. **Generate API Documentation**: TypeDoc integration
17. **Add Code Generation Scripts**: Component scaffolding

## Metrics to Track

After implementing these improvements, track:

1. **Build Time**: Target < 30s for development builds
2. **Test Coverage**: Target > 80% line coverage
3. **Type Coverage**: Target 100% (strict mode)
4. **Lint Errors**: Target 0 in CI
5. **Bundle Size**: Track growth over time
6. **First-Run Time**: Time from clone to running dev server
7. **PR Review Cycle**: Time from PR open to merge
