# Next.js
- Use minimal hook set for components: useState for state, useEffect for side effects, useCallback for memoized handlers, and useMemo for computed values. Confidence: 0.85
- Never make page.tsx a client component. All client-side logic lives in components under /components, and page.tsx stays a server component. Confidence: 0.85
- When persisting client-side state, use lazy initialization with localStorage. Confidence: 0.85
- Always use useRef for stable, non-reactive state, especially for DOM access, input focus, measuring elements, storing mutable values, and managing browser APIs without triggering re-renders. Confidence: 0.85
- Use sr-only classes for accessibility labels. Confidence: 0.85
- Always use shadcn/ui as the component system for Next.js projects. Confidence: 0.85
- When setting up shadcn/ui, ensure globals.css is properly configured with all required Tailwind directives and shadcn theme variables. Confidence: 0.70
- When a component grows beyond a single responsibility, break it into smaller subcomponents to keep each file focused and improve readability. Confidence: 0.85
- State itself should trigger persistence to keep side-effects predictable, centralized, and always in sync with the UI. Confidence: 0.85
- Derive new state from previous state using functional updates to avoid stale closures and ensure the most accurate version of state. Confidence: 0.85

- Use `actions/checkout@v6` and `actions/setup-node@v6` (not v4) in GitHub Actions workflows. Confidence: 0.65

# architecture
- Use Next.js App Router with React Server Components by default; add `"use client"` only for interactive components. Confidence: 0.95

- Use the `cn()` utility for conditional/merged Tailwind class names. Confidence: 0.90

# api
- Validate all API route inputs with Zod schemas. Confidence: 0.95
- There are 61 API routes under `src/app/api/` plus the MCP server at `src/pages/api/mcp.ts`. Confidence: 0.90

# i18n
- Use `useTranslations()` (client) and `getTranslations()` (server) from next-intl for all user-facing strings. Confidence: 0.95
- Support 17 locales with RTL support for Arabic, Hebrew, and Farsi. Confidence: 0.90

# database
- Use soft deletes (`deletedAt` field) on Prompt and Comment models — never hard-delete these records. Confidence: 0.95
