# CLAUDE.md — Vibed Mono-Repo
**Always run commands from the root of the project you are working on** — not from the repository root. Each project is self-contained and its commands (`cargo`, `mdbook`, `trunk`, `tofu`, etc.) must be run from within that project's directory.
## Repository Structure
This is a mono-repo of independent projects. Each project lives in its own top-level folder. Projects may be Rust HTTP services, CLI tools, static sites, frontends, or anything else — there is no single template. Projects do not communicate with each other.

## Project CLAUDE.md Inheritance
Each project-level `CLAUDE.md` should begin with:
```
@../CLAUDE.md
```
This imports the root conventions (validation, git, code style, license, task tracking) so they don't need to be duplicated. Project files should only contain project-specific overrides or additions.
## Common Patterns
These are defaults that apply **when relevant** — not every project uses all of them. Rust CLI tools don't need Axum; static sites don't need SQLx. Apply the patterns that fit the project.
### Language & Tooling
- **Language:** Rust (preferred; exceptions are documented per-project)
- **Local development:** Nix with Nix Flakes for dependency management
- **Infrastructure:** OpenTofu with the Cloudflare provider (stored in each project's `infra/` subfolder)
- **Formatting:** Default `rustfmt` conventions (no custom `rustfmt.toml`)
### Backend
- **Framework:** Tower + Axum
- **Runtime:** Tokio
- **Target:** Cloudflare Workers via [workers-rs](https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-rs)
- **Deployment:** OpenTofu with the Cloudflare provider (prefer over wrangler for infrastructure management)
- **API format:** JSON-encoded request and response payloads
- **API spec:** Each backend service must have an auto-generated OpenAPI spec. _TODO: choose tooling crate._
### Frontend
- **Framework:** Yew (Rust compiled to Wasm)
- **Build tool:** Trunk (`trunk serve` for local dev)
- **Compile target:** `wasm32-unknown-unknown` (included in the Nix dev shell via rust-overlay)
- **Hosting:** Cloudflare Pages
### Infrastructure
- **Provider:** OpenTofu with the Cloudflare provider
- **Location:** `infra/` subfolder in each project
### Data
- **Production database:** Cloudflare D1 (SQLite-compatible)
- **Local database:** Turso (file-backed SQLite)
- **Query layer:** SQLx
### Chosen Crates
When a crate is chosen to solve a problem, it becomes the standard for that purpose across all projects. Add new entries here as decisions are made.
| Purpose | Crate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| | | |
_This table is intentionally empty. Populate it as crate decisions are made during development._
## Secrets & Configuration
- **Local:** `.env` files for local secrets. **Never commit `.env` files to the repository.**
- **Production:** Wrangler secrets (`wrangler secret put `).
- Add `.env` to `.gitignore` at both the repo root and project level.
## Running Projects Locally
Commands vary by project type. Run all commands from within the project directory.
```sh
# Rust backend
cargo run
# Rust frontend
trunk serve
# Static site (mdBook)
mdbook serve
```
## Validation
Run these commands **in order** from the **project directory** before committing changes:
```sh
cargo fmt # 1. consistent formatting
cargo check # 2. code is syntactically correct
cargo clippy # 3. code follows best practices
cargo test # 4. code is logically valid
```
Projects that are not Rust crates have their own validation steps documented in their `CLAUDE.md`.
## Git Conventions
This repository follows [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#summary).
Commit messages must use the format:
```
[optional scope]:
[optional body]
[optional footer(s)]
```
Common types: `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `style`, `refactor`, `test`, `chore`, `ci`, `build`.
Use the project name as the scope when the change is scoped to a single project (e.g., `feat(my-project): add user endpoint`).
## License
All code in this repository is dual-licensed under:
- [Apache License, Version 2.0](LICENSE-APACHE)
- [MIT License](LICENSE-MIT)
This follows standard Rust ecosystem convention. Each project README should reference this dual license.
## Code Style & Documentation
### Rust
- All public functions, structs, enums, and modules must have rustdoc comments describing how they work.
- Include doc-examples where applicable — these double as doctests.
- Unit tests live in a `tests` module (`tests.rs` file) within the crate's root module or relevant submodules.
- Each project has a `tests/` directory for integration-style tests.
### Release Builds
Release builds must be compiled with settings to minimize binary size. Add this to each project's `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[profile.release]
opt-level = "z"
lto = true
strip = true
codegen-units = 1
```
### Infrastructure
- Every OpenTofu `resource` and `data` block must have a comment explaining its purpose.
## Testing
### Structure
- **Unit tests:** `src/tests.rs` module (or submodule-local `tests` modules)
- **Integration tests:** `tests/` directory at the project root
### Coverage
- Target 80%+ code coverage; higher is better.
- _TODO: determine coverage tooling (e.g., `cargo-tarpaulin`, `cargo-llvm-cov`)._
## Project Documentation
Each project must maintain the following:
### README.md
Covers:
- What the project is
- How it works
- How to run it
- How to test it
- License (Apache-2.0 + MIT dual license)
- Disclaimer that the software was written with Claude Code (include the specific model used)
### docs/PLANNING.md
- Development phases
- Work logs
- Kept up to date as work progresses
### docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
- Component overview
- How components interact
## Repo-Wide Files
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `CLAUDE.md` | This file — conventions and instructions for Claude Code |
| `README.md` | Repo overview with a description of each project |
| `LICENSE-APACHE` | Apache 2.0 license text |
| `LICENSE-MIT` | MIT license text |
| `flake.nix` | Base Nix flake — projects may inherit or extend this |
| `common/` | Shared library crate for cross-project types and utilities |
## Nix
- All local development uses Nix.
- Dependencies are managed with Nix Flakes.
- The repo root has a base `flake.nix` that projects should either use directly or inherit and extend with their own `flake.nix`.
## Task Tracking with nbd
`nbd` is a CLI tool for managing work tickets, designed for agent workflows.
### Initialisation
```sh
nbd init
```
Run once in the project root. Creates `.nbd/tickets/`. Safe to run multiple times.
### Core commands
```sh
# Create a new ticket (use --ftype md for a human-readable body)
nbd create --title "Add OAuth login" --type feature --priority 7 --ftype md --json
# List all open tickets (sorted by priority)
nbd list --json
# Read a specific ticket
nbd read --json
# Update a ticket
nbd update --status in_progress --json
nbd update --status done --json
```
### Finding what to work on
```sh
# All tickets that are unblocked and ready to start
nbd ready --json
# The single highest-priority unblocked ticket
nbd next --json
```
### Workflow
1. **Before starting** — create a ticket: `nbd create --title "..." --ftype md --json`
2. **When starting** — mark it in progress: `nbd update --status in_progress --json`
3. **When done** — mark it complete: `nbd update --status done --json`
### Guidelines
- **Always pass `--json`** to every command for structured, unambiguous output.
- **Always pass `--ftype md`** when creating tickets — markdown format keeps the body human-readable.
- Use `jq` to parse and transform JSON output when needed.
- Priority scale 0–10: use **7–9** for bugs, **5** for normal tasks, **3** for nice-to-haves.
- `--type` choices: `project`, `feature`, `task`, `bug`.
- Use `--deps id1,id2` to express blockers — tickets that must be done first.
- Create tickets *before* starting non-trivial tasks, not after.
