+# GitHub Copilot Quick Start Guide
+
+**For developers and AI agents working on StormCom**
+
+## 🎯 First Time Setup
+
+### 1. Read Core Instructions
+Start here: **`.github/copilot-instructions.md`**
+- Repository overview and architecture
+- Build and validation workflows
+- MCP usage patterns
+
+### 2. Install Dependencies
+```bash
+npm install                    # Install all dependencies (20-30s)
+npm run prisma:generate       # Generate Prisma Client (5s)
+```
+
+### 3. Environment Configuration
+Create `.env.local`:
+```bash
+DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/stormcom_dev"
+NEXTAUTH_SECRET="development-secret-at-least-32-chars"
+NEXTAUTH_URL="http://localhost:3000"
+EMAIL_FROM="noreply@example.com"
+RESEND_API_KEY="re_dummy_key_for_build"  # Optional: Enables email sending
+```
+
+**Note:** Build succeeds without `RESEND_API_KEY`. When the key is missing, magic links are logged to the console instead of being emailed.
+
+### 4. Validate Setup
+```bash
+npm run type-check           # TypeScript validation (8-12s)
+npm run lint                 # ESLint check (8-15s)
+npm run build                # Production build (15-25s)
+npm run dev                  # Start dev server (1-2s)
+```
+
+## 🔍 Understanding the Codebase
+
+### Tech Stack
+- **Framework:** Next.js 16.0.3 (App Router, Turbopack)
+- **Language:** TypeScript 5
+- **Database:** PostgreSQL with Prisma 6.19.0
+- **Auth:** NextAuth 4.24 (email magic link)
+- **UI:** shadcn/ui with Tailwind CSS
+- **Multi-Tenancy:** Organization-based with Store scoping
+
+### Key Directories
+```
+src/
+├── app/                    # Next.js App Router
+│   ├── (auth)/            # Public auth routes
+│   ├── api/               # API routes
+│   ├── dashboard/         # Protected admin UI
+│   └── store/[slug]/      # Public storefront
+├── components/
+│   ├── ui/                # shadcn/ui primitives
+│   └── dashboard/         # Admin components
+└── lib/
+    ├── auth.ts            # NextAuth config
+    ├── prisma.ts          # Prisma singleton
+    └── multi-tenancy.ts   # Multi-tenant utilities
+```
+
+### Architecture Principles
+1. **Multi-Tenancy:** ALWAYS filter by `organizationId` AND `userId`
+2. **Server Components:** Default to Server Components, add `"use client"` only when needed
+3. **Prisma Singleton:** Never create `new PrismaClient()` outside `src/lib/prisma.ts`
+4. **Route Protection:** Add new protected routes to `middleware.ts` matcher
+
+## 🛠️ Common Development Tasks
+
+### Adding a New API Route
+1. Create route file: `src/app/api/your-route/route.ts`
+2. Export HTTP method handlers: `GET`, `POST`, etc.
+3. Validate input with Zod schemas
+4. Filter by `storeId` or `organizationId` for multi-tenancy
+5. Use `getServerSession(authOptions)` for auth checks
+
+### Adding a shadcn/ui Component
+```bash
+# ❌ Don't manually copy files
+# ✅ Use MCP tool
+#mcp_shadcn_get_add_command_for_items ["@shadcn/dialog", "@shadcn/form"]
+# Then run: npx shadcn@latest add dialog form
+```
+
+### Adding a Protected Route
+1. Create route folder: `src/app/your-route/page.tsx`
+2. Add to `middleware.ts` matcher: `"/your-route/:path*"`
+3. Use `getServerSession(authOptions)` in Server Component
+
+### Database Schema Changes
+```bash
+# 1. Edit prisma/schema.prisma
+# 2. Create migration (source env vars first!)
+export $(cat .env.local | xargs) && npm run prisma:migrate:dev
+# 3. Commit both schema and migration files
+```
+
+## 🤖 Using MCP Servers
+
+### Next.js Documentation (Always First!)
+```bash
+# ❌ Never answer Next.js questions from memory
+# ✅ Always query via MCP
+# Use: next-devtools MCP server → nextjs_docs tool
+```
+
+### Runtime Diagnostics
+```bash
+# When dev server is running:
+# Use: next-devtools → nextjs_runtime tools
+#   - discover_servers
+#   - list_tools
+#   - call_tool (get_errors, get_logs)
+```
+
+### Browser Testing
+```bash
+# Use: playwright MCP server
+#   - navigate to URL
+#   - click, type, fill forms
+#   - screenshot for verification
+#   - console_messages for errors
+```
+
+## 📚 Path-Specific Instructions

+
+## ⚡ Quick Reference
+
+### Build Commands
+```bash
+npm run dev              # Dev server (Turbopack)
+npm run build           # Production build
+npm run start           # Production server
+npm run type-check      # TypeScript validation
+npm run lint            # ESLint check
+npm run prisma:generate # Generate Prisma Client
+npm run prisma:migrate:dev # Run migrations
+```
+
+### Known Warnings (Safe to Ignore)
+- `@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars` in `next-auth.d.ts`
+- `react-hooks/incompatible-library` in `src/components/data-table.tsx`
+
+### Build Times (Reference)
+- npm install: 18-30s
+- npm run build: 15-25s
+- npm run type-check: 8-12s
+- npm run lint: 8-15s
+
+## 🚨 Common Pitfalls
+
+### 1. Missing RESEND_API_KEY
+**Behavior:** Auth email sending is disabled and magic links are logged to the console because `RESEND_API_KEY` is not set
+**Fix:** Add `RESEND_API_KEY="re_your_actual_key"` to `.env.local` (a dummy value works for local development if you don't need actual emails sent)
+
+### 2. Prisma Client Not Generated
+**Error:** "Cannot find module '@prisma/client'"
+**Fix:** Run `npm run prisma:generate`
+
+### 3. Environment Variables Not Loaded
+**Error:** Prisma migrations fail
+**Fix:** Source env vars: `export $(cat .env.local | xargs) && npm run prisma:migrate:dev`
+
+### 4. Multi-Tenancy Data Leakage
+**Error:** Wrong store's data shown
+**Fix:** ALWAYS filter by `organizationId` AND `userId` or `storeId`
+
+### 5. next/dynamic with SSR: false in Server Component
+**Error:** Build/runtime error
+**Fix:** Move client logic to Client Component (`"use client"`), import directly

+2. Initialize MCP: next-devtools init (once per session)
+3. Query docs: nextjs_docs tool
+4. Inspect runtime: nextjs_runtime tools
+5. Browser testing: browser_eval
+
+# shadcn/ui Components
+1. Search: shadcn search
+2. Get command: shadcn get_add_command
+3. Install: npx shadcn@latest add [components]
+
+# Browser Testing
+1. Navigate: playwright navigate
+2. Interact: playwright click/type
+3. Verify: playwright screenshot
+4. Check: playwright console_messages
+```
+
+### ✅ 4. Build & Validation
+
+Verified all instructions against actual repository:
+
+```bash
+✅ npm install          # Success (29s, 823 packages)
+✅ npm run type-check   # 0 errors
+✅ npm run build        # Success (62 routes)
+✅ npm run dev          # Started successfully
+```

+
+### MCP Servers (4 configured)
+1. **playwright** - Browser automation (`@playwright/mcp@latest`)
+2. **next-devtools** - Next.js 16 tools (`next-devtools-mcp@latest`)
+3. **shadcn** - Component management (`shadcn@latest mcp`)
+4. **github-mcp-server** - GitHub API integration
+
+Configuration: `.mcp.json` and `.vscode/mcp.json`
+
+## MCP Best Practices
+
+### Always Use MCP for Documentation
+- **Never rely on training data** for Next.js, shadcn/ui, or other framework specifics
+- **Always fetch latest documentation** using MCP servers:
+  - `next-devtools` → `nextjs_docs` tool for Next.js queries
+  - `shadcn` → Component searches and installation commands
+  - `github-mcp-server` → GitHub Actions, workflows, API patterns
+
+### MCP-First Development Flow
+1. **Documentation Query** → Use MCP to fetch latest patterns
+2. **Implementation** → Follow documentation exactly
+3. **Verification** → Use MCP browser automation or runtime tools
+4. **Validation** → Check against MCP-provided examples
+
+### Example: Adding a shadcn Component
+```bash
+# ❌ WRONG: Manually copying files
+# ✅ RIGHT: Use MCP
+#mcp_shadcn_search_items_in_registries ["@shadcn"] "button"
+#mcp_shadcn_get_add_command_for_items ["@shadcn/button"]
+# Then run: npx shadcn@latest add button
+```
+
+### Example: Next.js 16 Question
+```bash
+# ❌ WRONG: Answering from memory
+# ✅ RIGHT: Query docs via MCP
+# 1. Use nextjs_docs to search/get documentation
+# 2. Base answer on returned docs
+# 3. Verify with nextjs_runtime if dev server is running
+```
+
+## Playwright Browser Automation
+
+When testing UI changes or flows:
+
+### Using Playwright MCP Server
+```bash
+# Available via .mcp.json configuration
+# Tools: navigate, click, type, screenshot, console_messages
+
+# Example: Test login flow
+#mcp_playwright_navigate http://localhost:3000/login
+#mcp_playwright_type "email" "user@example.com"
+#mcp_playwright_click "Sign in"
+#mcp_playwright_screenshot
+```
+
+### Testing Best Practices
+1. **Always start dev server** before browser tests: `npm run dev`
+2. **Take screenshots** for visual verification
+3. **Capture console** for errors: `console_messages`
+4. **Test critical flows**: auth, checkout, form submissions
+5. **Verify accessibility**: Use semantic selectors (role, label)
+
+See `.github/instructions/playwright-typescript.instructions.md` for detailed patterns.
+
 ## Final Notes
 - **Trust These Instructions**: Search codebase only if information is incomplete or contradicts reality.
 - **Minimal Changes**: Make smallest possible edits to achieve task goals.
 - **Environment First**: ALWAYS create `.env.local` with all variables before any build/dev command.
 - **Prisma Lifecycle**: Generate → Migrate → Build (in that order).
+- **MCP First**: Always query MCP for documentation before implementing.
+- **Use Specialized Instructions**: Check `.github/instructions/` for file-specific guidance.
+- **Leverage Agents**: Use custom agents (`.github/agents/`) for specialized tasks.
+- **Reference Index**: See `.github/README.md` for complete instruction system overview.
