[ ] Testing commands - [ ] Deployment instructions - [ ] Folder structure explanation - [ ] Contributing guidelines (optional) ## Verification Steps After scaffolding, verify: 1. **Dependencies Install**: `npm install` completes without errors 2. **Type Checking**: `npx tsc --noEmit` passes 3. **Linting**: `npm run lint` passes 4. **Formatting**: `npm run format:check` passes 5. **Build**: `npm run build` succeeds 6. **Tests**: `npm test` passes 7. **E2E Tests**: `npm run test:e2e` passes (with test environment) 8. **Dev Server**: `npm run dev` starts successfully 9. **Prisma**: `npx prisma generate` works 10. **Git Hooks**: Commit triggers lint-staged ## Common Issues & Solutions ### Issue: Prisma client not generated **Solution**: Run `npx prisma generate` after schema changes ### Issue: Supabase auth not working **Solution**: Check environment variables and cookie configuration ### Issue: ESLint errors **Solution**: Run `npm run lint -- --fix` to auto-fix ### Issue: Type errors **Solution**: Ensure all dependencies are installed and Prisma is generated ### Issue: Build fails **Solution**: Check for missing environment variables and type errors ### Issue: Tests fail **Solution**: Ensure test environment is properly configured in vitest.config.ts ## Post-Scaffold Tasks After completing the scaffold: 1. **Environment Setup**: Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in values 2. **Supabase Project**: Create Supabase project and get credentials 3. **Database Schema**: Run `npx prisma db push` to sync schema 4. **Seed Data**: Run `npm run db:seed` to populate sample data 5. **Install shadcn/ui**: Run initialization commands for components 6. **Git Init**: Initialize git repository and make first commit 7. **Deploy**: Connect to Vercel and deploy 8. **Test**: Verify all features work in production ## Optional Enhancements Consider adding these after the base scaffold: - [ ] Email verification flow - [ ] Password reset flow - [ ] User roles and permissions - [ ] Multi-factor authentication - [ ] File upload with Supabase Storage - [ ] Real-time subscriptions - [ ] Advanced data table features (export, filters) - [ ] User preferences/settings page - [ ] Activity logs/audit trail - [ ] API documentation - [ ] Storybook for components - [ ] Performance monitoring - [ ] Error tracking (Sentry) - [ ] Analytics integration
