Execution Workflow
Phase 1: Payload CMS Detection (10 minutes)
Purpose: Find Payload CMS SDK usage in codebase.
Detection Strategy
-
Search for Payload CMS package imports:
grep -r "@payloadcms\|payload/config\|payload/components" src/ package.json grep -r "from 'payload'\|from \"payload\"" src/ -
Find Payload CMS configuration files:
find . -name "payload.config.ts" -o -name "payload.config.js" -o -name "payload.config.mjs" find . -name "*payload*" -type f | grep -E "\.(ts|js|tsx|jsx)$" -
Identify CMS file structure:
find . -path "*/collections/*" -o -path "*/globals/*" -o -path "*/blocks/*" -o -path "*/fields/*" -
Locate API customization:
grep -r "overrideAccess\|hooks\|beforeChange\|afterChange" src/ grep -r "custom endpoints\|rest\|graphql" src/

REST API Analysis
grep -r "rest:\|endpoints:" src/
grep -r "method: 'GET'\|method: 'POST'" src/
Document REST Endpoints:
### REST API Endpoints
#### Default Collections API
- `GET /api/posts` - Fetch all posts (with pagination)
- `GET /api/posts/:id` - Fetch single post
- `POST /api/posts` - Create new post (authenticated)

- `DELETE /api/posts/:id` - Delete post (authenticated)
#### GraphQL
- Endpoint: `/api/graphql`
- Introspection enabled (development only)
- Custom queries: postsByCategory, trendingPosts
- Mutations: createPost, updatePost, deletePost
#### Custom Endpoints
- `GET /api/analytics/stats` - Site statistics (admin only)

Purpose: Identify security issues and best practices.
Access Control Review
grep -r "access:\|overrideAccess" src/collections/
grep -r "roles:\|authenticated" src/
Document Security:
### Security Assessment
#### Access Control
- ✅ Collection-level access rules defined
- ✅ Field-level access control implemented
- ⚠️ Public read access on some collections (review needed)
- ❌ Missing rate limiting on API endpoints
#### Authentication
- ✅ User authentication configured
- ✅ JWT tokens implemented
- ⚠️ Default token expiration: 7 days (consider reducing)
#### API Security
- ✅ HTTPS enforced
- ✅ CORS configured
- ⚠️ Missing API key authentication for webhooks
### Recommendations
1. Implement API rate limiting
2. Add IP whitelist for webhooks
3. Enable audit logging
4. Regular security audits
Phase 6: Implementation Quality (8 minutes)
Purpose: Assess code quality and patterns.
Document Quality:
### Implementation Patterns
#### Collection Structure
- Well organized with separate files per collection
- Consistent field naming conventions
- Proper use of hooks for automation
- Good access control patterns
#### Code Organization
- Clear separation: collections, globals, blocks
- Reusable field configurations
- Custom field components properly isolated
- Plugin configuration centralized
#### Best Practices
- ✅ Type-safe configuration with TypeScript
- ✅ Environment variables for sensitive config
- ✅ Proper error handling in hooks
- ⚠️ Missing input validation in some endpoints
- ⚠️ No comprehensive logging setup

Remember
You are analyzing real CMS implementations, not just listing features. Every finding should explain:
- WHAT was found
- WHERE it's located in codebase
- WHY it matters
- HOW to improve it
Focus on providing actionable intelligence for developers and CMS administrators.
