UI Development

Generate production-ready Next.js projects from natural language, with shadcn/ui components, API integration, type safety, and modern tooling.

Quick Start (TL;DR)

Fast path for simple projects: Create Next.js app โ†’ 2. Install shadcn/ui โ†’ 3. Build UI โ†’ 4. Start with PM2 โ†’ 5. Screenshot review โ†’ 6. Done Live preview: Projects run on PM2 (port 3002), accessible at http://localhost:3002 or via nginx proxy if configured. Default workflow: All projects use PM2 for dev server management (prevents port conflicts, ensures single instance).

Required Dependencies

Node.js 18+ and npm/yarn/pnpm Git (for project initialization)

Optional Features (user can decline)

1. Auto-Revision with Visual Review (requires Chromium) What it does: Takes screenshots during development to visually review designs and auto-fix issues Installation: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser (Debian/Ubuntu) Privileges: Read/write access to project files, execute chromium in headless mode If declined: Manual review only (you describe, user verifies) 2. Live Preview Server (requires Nginx) What it does: Serves project on external port for live preview during development (useful for mobile testing or remote access) Installation: sudo apt-get install nginx How it works: PM2 runs dev server on port 3002, nginx proxies it to chosen external port Nginx config template: # /etc/nginx/sites-available/<project-name> server { listen <external-port>; # e.g., 3001, 8081, etc. server_name _; location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:3002; # PM2 dev server proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade'; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade; } } Enable: sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/<project-name> /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ && sudo systemctl reload nginx If declined: Access directly via http://localhost:3002 (PM2 port) Before starting, ask user if they want to enable optional features.

Common Project Types

Quick reference for typical requests: Dashboard/Admin Panel โ†’ Use (dashboard) route group, shadcn data tables, charts Landing Page โ†’ Single app/page.tsx, hero section, features grid, testimonials Todo/Task App โ†’ shadcn checkbox, input, button; local state or API Blog/CMS โ†’ Dynamic routes app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx, markdown support E-commerce โ†’ Product catalog, cart state (Zustand), checkout flow SaaS App โ†’ Auth ((auth) group), protected routes, subscription logic Portfolio โ†’ Projects grid, contact form, image gallery Form-heavy App โ†’ React Hook Form + Zod validation, shadcn form components Ask user: What type of project are you building? (helps determine structure and components)

Tech Stack

Core: Next.js 14+ (App Router) TypeScript Tailwind CSS v3 shadcn/ui (recommended UI component library) ESLint + Prettier API Integration (default): axios (HTTP client) @tanstack/react-query (data fetching, caching, state management) Optional (based on needs): Zustand (client-side state management) Zod (runtime validation) next-auth (authentication) Prisma (database ORM)

Directory Purpose

app/ - Next.js 14 App Router pages and layouts. Use route groups (name) for logical grouping without affecting URLs. components/ - All React components, organized by type: ui/ - shadcn/ui components (copy-paste, customizable) layout/ - Shared layout components (header, footer, sidebar) features/ - Feature-specific components (scoped to one feature) shared/ - Reusable components used across features lib/ - Utility functions, configurations, and third-party library setups. hooks/ - Custom React hooks, especially React Query hooks for API calls. types/ - TypeScript type definitions and interfaces. actions/ - Server Actions for form handling and server-side operations (Next.js 14+). config/ - App configuration (site metadata, navigation menus, constants). prisma/ - Database schema and migrations (if using Prisma). public/ - Static files served at root URL. styles/ - Global CSS (Tailwind imports + custom styles).

Workflow

Keep user informed at every step โ€” this is a live build log. โš ๏ธ Important: All projects use PM2 for dev server management (port 3002 by default). This ensures: Only one instance runs at a time (no port conflicts) Easy process management (list/logs/restart/stop) Persistent dev server across terminal sessions Better error logging and debugging

Step 1: Project Setup

Ask: Project name Description/purpose Optional features (chromium review, nginx preview) Create Next.js project: npx create-next-app@latest <project-name> \ --typescript \ --tailwind \ --app \ --no-src-dir \ --import-alias "@/*" โ†’ Message user: "Next.js project initialized โœ“"

Step 2: Create Directory Structure

Create all necessary directories following industry best practices: cd <project-name> # Create app route groups mkdir -p app/\(auth\)/login app/\(auth\)/register mkdir -p app/\(dashboard\)/dashboard app/\(dashboard\)/profile app/\(dashboard\)/settings mkdir -p app/api/auth app/api/users # Create component directories mkdir -p components/ui components/layout components/features components/shared mkdir -p components/features/auth components/features/dashboard components/features/profile # Create utility directories mkdir -p lib hooks types actions config # Create static asset directories mkdir -p public/images public/icons public/fonts # Create styles directory mkdir styles # Create Prisma directory (if using database) # mkdir -p prisma Create essential config files: config/site.ts - Site metadata export const siteConfig = { name: '<Project Name>', description: '<Project Description>', url: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL || 'http://localhost:3000', links: { github: 'https://github.com/...', }, }; config/navigation.ts - Navigation menu export const mainNav = [ { title: 'Home', href: '/' }, { title: 'Dashboard', href: '/dashboard' }, { title: 'Profile', href: '/profile' }, ]; export const dashboardNav = [ { title: 'Overview', href: '/dashboard' }, { title: 'Profile', href: '/profile' }, { title: 'Settings', href: '/settings' }, ]; .env.example - Environment variables template NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL=http://localhost:3000 NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000/api DATABASE_URL=postgresql://... NEXTAUTH_SECRET=... NEXTAUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000 โ†’ Message user: "Directory structure created โœ“"

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Core dependencies: cd <project-name> npm install axios @tanstack/react-query npm install -D @types/node shadcn/ui setup (recommended): npx shadcn-ui@latest init This will prompt for configuration. Recommended answers: Style: Default Base color: Slate CSS variables: Yes Install essential shadcn components: npx shadcn-ui@latest add button card input label select textarea npx shadcn-ui@latest add dropdown-menu dialog sheet tabs npx shadcn-ui@latest add table form avatar badge separator toast Install form dependencies (for shadcn/ui forms): npm install react-hook-form @hookform/resolvers zod Optional (ask user based on needs): npm install zustand # State management npm install next-auth # Authentication npm install prisma @prisma/client # Database ORM โ†’ Message user: "Dependencies + shadcn/ui installed โœ“"

Step 4: Configure Base Files

lib/api.ts (axios instance) import axios from 'axios'; export const api = axios.create({ baseURL: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:3000/api', timeout: 10000, headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } }); // Request interceptor (add auth tokens, etc.) api.interceptors.request.use( (config) => { const token = localStorage.getItem('token'); if (token) config.headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${token}`; return config; }, (error) => Promise.reject(error) ); // Response interceptor (handle errors globally) api.interceptors.response.use( (response) => response, (error) => { if (error.response?.status === 401) { // Handle unauthorized } return Promise.reject(error); } ); lib/react-query.ts (query client) import { QueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query'; export const queryClient = new QueryClient({ defaultOptions: { queries: { staleTime: 60 * 1000, // 1 minute refetchOnWindowFocus: false, retry: 1, }, }, }); app/providers.tsx (wrap app with providers) 'use client'; import { QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query'; import { ReactQueryDevtools } from '@tanstack/react-query-devtools'; import { queryClient } from '@/lib/react-query'; export function Providers({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) { return ( <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}> {children} <ReactQueryDevtools initialIsOpen={false} /> </QueryClientProvider> ); } Update app/layout.tsx to use Providers. โ†’ Message user: "Base configuration complete โœ“"

Step 5: Generate Features

Ask what features/pages to build. For each feature: Create route (app/<feature>/page.tsx) Create components (components/features/<feature>/) Create API hooks (hooks/use<Feature>.ts) using react-query Create types (types/<feature>.ts) Optionally create API routes (app/api/<feature>/route.ts) Example: User Profile Feature // types/user.ts export interface User { id: string; name: string; email: string; } // hooks/useUser.ts import { useQuery, useMutation, useQueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query'; import { api } from '@/lib/api'; import type { User } from '@/types/user'; export const useUser = (id: string) => { return useQuery({ queryKey: ['user', id], queryFn: async () => { const { data } = await api.get<User>(`/users/${id}`); return data; }, }); }; export const useUpdateUser = () => { const queryClient = useQueryClient(); return useMutation({ mutationFn: async (user: Partial<User>) => { const { data } = await api.patch<User>(`/users/${user.id}`, user); return data; }, onSuccess: (data) => { queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['user', data.id] }); }, }); }; // app/profile/[id]/page.tsx 'use client'; import { useUser, useUpdateUser } from '@/hooks/useUser'; export default function ProfilePage({ params }: { params: { id: string } }) { const { data: user, isLoading, error } = useUser(params.id); const updateUser = useUpdateUser(); if (isLoading) return <div>Loading...</div>; if (error) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>; return ( <div> <h1>{user?.name}</h1> <p>{user?.email}</p> </div> ); } โ†’ Message user after each feature: "Profile page complete โœ“"

Step 6: Build UI with shadcn/ui Components

Use shadcn/ui components (already installed) for consistent, accessible UI. Apply Design Principles (see below). Example: Profile page with shadcn/ui import { Card, CardContent, CardHeader, CardTitle } from '@/components/ui/card'; import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button'; import { Avatar, AvatarFallback, AvatarImage } from '@/components/ui/avatar'; export default function ProfilePage({ params }: { params: { id: string } }) { const { data: user, isLoading } = useUser(params.id); if (isLoading) return <Card className="w-full max-w-2xl mx-auto"><CardContent>Loading...</CardContent></Card>; return ( <Card className="w-full max-w-2xl mx-auto"> <CardHeader> <div className="flex items-center gap-4"> <Avatar className="h-20 w-20"> <AvatarImage src={user?.avatar} /> <AvatarFallback>{user?.name[0]}</AvatarFallback> </Avatar> <div> <CardTitle>{user?.name}</CardTitle> <p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground">{user?.email}</p> </div> </div> </CardHeader> <CardContent> <Button>Edit Profile</Button> </CardContent> </Card> ); } When to add more components: Forms โ†’ npx shadcn-ui@latest add form input label Data tables โ†’ npx shadcn-ui@latest add table Navigation โ†’ npx shadcn-ui@latest add navigation-menu Feedback โ†’ npx shadcn-ui@latest add toast alert โ†’ Message user: "UI built with shadcn/ui โœ“"

Step 7: Visual Review (if chromium enabled)

Important: Use PM2 to manage the dev server (ensures only 1 instance runs, prevents port conflicts). Start dev server with PM2: # Stop any existing instance of this project pm2 delete <project-name> 2>/dev/null || true # Start with PM2 (port 3002 for nginx proxy) PORT=3002 pm2 start npm --name "<project-name>" --cwd "$(pwd)" -- run dev # Give PM2 a moment to start sleep 2 Wait for server to be fully ready (critical - avoid white screen screenshots): # Wait for "Ready in" message in PM2 logs (usually 5-15 seconds) timeout=30 elapsed=0 while [ $elapsed -lt $timeout ]; do if pm2 logs <project-name> --nostream --lines 50 2>/dev/null | grep -q "Ready in"; then echo "Server ready!" sleep 3 # Extra buffer for module loading break fi sleep 1 elapsed=$((elapsed + 1)) done # Verify server is responding if ! curl -s http://localhost:3002 > /dev/null; then echo "Warning: Server not responding on port 3002" pm2 logs <project-name> --nostream --lines 20 fi Take screenshots (requires chromium): bash scripts/screenshot.sh "http://localhost:3002" /tmp/review-desktop.png 1400 900 bash scripts/screenshot.sh "http://localhost:3002" /tmp/review-mobile.png 390 844 Review Checklist (analyze with image tool): โœ… Desktop (1400px): Content centered, proper spacing โœ… Mobile (390px): No horizontal overflow (content fits within screen) Text readable (not too small) Padding appropriate (p-4 not p-24) Touch targets large enough (min 44x44px) No content cutting off edges If issues found: Fix responsive classes, re-run screenshots. Common fixes: Large padding โ†’ p-4 md:p-8 lg:p-12 Large text โ†’ text-2xl md:text-4xl Wide content โ†’ Add max-w-full or px-4 โ†’ Message user: "Review complete, sending preview..."

Step 8: Environment Setup

Create .env.local: NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL=https://api.example.com DATABASE_URL=postgresql://... NEXTAUTH_SECRET=... Create .env.example (template for user). โ†’ Message user: "Environment template created โœ“"

Step 9: Scripts & Documentation

Update package.json scripts: { "scripts": { "dev": "next dev", "build": "next build", "start": "next start", "lint": "next lint", "type-check": "tsc --noEmit" } } Create README.md with: Setup instructions Environment variables needed Development commands API integration guide โ†’ Message user: "Documentation complete โœ“"

Step 10: Export & Deploy Guidance

Stop PM2 dev server (if running): pm2 delete <project-name> 2>/dev/null || true pm2 save # Persist PM2 process list Zip the project: cd .. && zip -r /tmp/<project-name>.zip <project-name>/ Send via message tool with filePath. Provide deployment options: Vercel (recommended): npx vercel Netlify: npm run build && netlify deploy Docker: Provide Dockerfile Self-hosted: Provide systemd service + nginx config โ†’ Message user: "Project ready! ๐Ÿš€"

Quick Test (during development)

1. PM2 dev server (always running after Step 7): # Check status pm2 list # View logs pm2 logs <project-name> # Access locally curl http://localhost:3002 2. Live preview URLs: Local access: http://localhost:3002 Nginx proxy (if configured): http://<server-ip>:<external-port> Mobile testing: Use nginx proxy or ngrok/tunneling service 3. Screenshot review (if chromium enabled): # Desktop (1400x900) bash scripts/screenshot.sh "http://localhost:3002" /tmp/desktop.png 1400 900 # Mobile (390x844) bash scripts/screenshot.sh "http://localhost:3002" /tmp/mobile.png 390 844

End-to-End Testing Workflow

Full test sequence: # 1. Check PM2 status pm2 list | grep <project-name> # 2. Verify dev server responding curl -I http://localhost:3002 # 3. Take screenshots for visual verification bash scripts/screenshot.sh "http://localhost:3002" /tmp/test-desktop.png 1400 900 bash scripts/screenshot.sh "http://localhost:3002" /tmp/test-mobile.png 390 844 # 4. Check logs for errors pm2 logs <project-name> --lines 50 | grep -i error # 5. Test API endpoints (if using API routes) curl http://localhost:3002/api/health # Example health check # 6. Production build test npm run build && npm run start # Test production build # 7. Type check npm run type-check

Common Testing Scenarios

Scenario 1: Test responsive design # Mobile, tablet, desktop for width in 390 768 1400; do bash scripts/screenshot.sh "http://localhost:3002" /tmp/screen-${width}.png $width 900 done Scenario 2: Test specific page/route # Take screenshot of specific route bash scripts/screenshot.sh "http://localhost:3002/dashboard" /tmp/dashboard.png 1400 900 Scenario 3: Test after making changes # PM2 auto-reloads on file changes, verify in logs pm2 logs <project-name> --lines 20 # Wait for "compiled successfully" then take new screenshot bash scripts/screenshot.sh "http://localhost:3002" /tmp/updated.png 1400 900

Sharing Preview with User

Option 1: Screenshots Send desktop + mobile screenshots via message tool User provides feedback, you iterate Option 2: Nginx proxy + external access Set up nginx config (see Optional Features) Share URL: http://<server-ip>:<port> User can test live in browser Option 3: Export & deploy Zip project and send to user User deploys to Vercel/Netlify Test on production URL

Pattern 1: REST API (default)

Use axios + react-query: // hooks/usePosts.ts import { useQuery, useMutation } from '@tanstack/react-query'; import { api } from '@/lib/api'; export const usePosts = () => { return useQuery({ queryKey: ['posts'], queryFn: async () => { const { data } = await api.get('/posts'); return data; }, }); }; export const useCreatePost = () => { return useMutation({ mutationFn: async (post: { title: string; body: string }) => { const { data } = await api.post('/posts', post); return data; }, }); };

Pattern 2: GraphQL (optional)

Install: npm install @apollo/client graphql Setup Apollo Client, use useQuery and useMutation from Apollo.

Pattern 3: tRPC (optional)

For Next.js API routes with type safety: npm install @trpc/server @trpc/client @trpc/react-query @trpc/next

Pattern 4: Server Actions (Next.js 14+)

For form handling without API routes: // app/actions.ts 'use server'; export async function createPost(formData: FormData) { const title = formData.get('title'); // ... } Always ask user which pattern they prefer for their use case.

Design Principles

Apply these consistently. These are quality standards.

Layout & Spacing

Consistent Tailwind spacing scale (4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24) Max content width: max-w-5xl or max-w-6xl Vertical rhythm: py-16 for sections, py-8 for subsections Mobile: minimum px-4 padding

Typography

Clear hierarchy (h1 โ†’ h2 โ†’ h3, max 3-4 sizes) Line length: max 65-75 characters (max-w-prose) Font weight contrast (bold headings, regular body) Text color hierarchy (slate-900 โ†’ slate-700 โ†’ slate-500)

Color & Contrast

WCAG AA minimum (4.5:1 contrast) Limit palette (1 primary + 1 accent + neutrals) Consistent accent usage (CTAs, links, active states)

Responsive Design (Critical)

Mobile-first (390px โ†’ 768px โ†’ 1024px) - Always design for 390px first Responsive padding - Use Tailwind responsive classes: Mobile: p-4 or px-4 py-6 (never p-24 on mobile!)

Components (Use shadcn/ui)

Icons: Use Lucide React (comes with shadcn/ui), never emoji Buttons: Use <Button> component with variants (default, destructive, outline, ghost) Forms: Use shadcn <Form> with react-hook-form integration Cards: Use <Card> component for content sections Dialogs/Modals: Use <Dialog> or <Sheet> components Loading states: Use shadcn <Skeleton> component for loading UI Error handling: Use <Alert> component for error messages Data display: Use <Table> component for tabular data shadcn/ui benefits: Accessible, customizable, copy-paste friendly, works with Tailwind

TypeScript Best Practices

Strict mode enabled Explicit return types for functions Interface over type for objects Avoid any (use unknown if needed) Use discriminated unions for variants

Performance

Use Next.js Image component (next/image) Lazy load below-the-fold content Code splitting (dynamic imports) Memoize expensive computations (useMemo, useCallback)

Form Handling (with shadcn/ui)

'use client'; import { zodResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/zod'; import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form'; import * as z from 'zod'; import { useMutation } from '@tanstack/react-query'; import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button'; import { Form, FormControl, FormField, FormItem, FormLabel, FormMessage } from '@/components/ui/form'; import { Input } from '@/components/ui/input'; import { useToast } from '@/components/ui/use-toast'; const formSchema = z.object({ name: z.string().min(2, 'Name must be at least 2 characters'), email: z.string().email('Invalid email address'), }); export default function ContactForm() { const { toast } = useToast(); const form = useForm<z.infer<typeof formSchema>>({ resolver: zodResolver(formSchema), defaultValues: { name: '', email: '' }, }); const mutation = useMutation({ mutationFn: async (data: z.infer<typeof formSchema>) => { const res = await api.post('/contact', data); return res.data; }, onSuccess: () => { toast({ title: 'Success', description: 'Message sent!' }); form.reset(); }, onError: (error) => { toast({ title: 'Error', description: error.message, variant: 'destructive' }); }, }); return ( <Form {...form}> <form onSubmit={form.handleSubmit((data) => mutation.mutate(data))} className="space-y-4"> <FormField control={form.control} name="name" render={({ field }) => ( <FormItem> <FormLabel>Name</FormLabel> <FormControl> <Input placeholder="John Doe" {...field} /> </FormControl> <FormMessage /> </FormItem> )} /> <FormField control={form.control} name="email" render={({ field }) => ( <FormItem> <FormLabel>Email</FormLabel> <FormControl> <Input type="email" placeholder="john@example.com" {...field} /> </FormControl> <FormMessage /> </FormItem> )} /> <Button type="submit" disabled={mutation.isPending}> {mutation.isPending ? 'Sending...' : 'Send Message'} </Button> </form> </Form> ); } Note: Run npx shadcn-ui@latest add form toast and install npm install react-hook-form @hookform/resolvers zod for this pattern.

Pagination

const usePaginatedPosts = (page: number) => { return useQuery({ queryKey: ['posts', page], queryFn: async () => { const { data } = await api.get(`/posts?page=${page}`); return data; }, keepPreviousData: true, // Smooth transitions }); };

Infinite Scroll

import { useInfiniteQuery } from '@tanstack/react-query'; const useInfinitePosts = () => { return useInfiniteQuery({ queryKey: ['posts'], queryFn: async ({ pageParam = 1 }) => { const { data } = await api.get(`/posts?page=${pageParam}`); return data; }, getNextPageParam: (lastPage, pages) => lastPage.nextPage, }); };

Common Mistakes to Avoid

โŒ Not wrapping app with QueryClientProvider โŒ Using axios without interceptors (no error handling) โŒ Forgetting loading/error states in components โŒ Not invalidating queries after mutations โŒ Using any instead of proper TypeScript types โŒ Client components when server components would work โŒ Not using Next.js Image component (performance loss) โŒ Missing error boundaries โŒ Hardcoding API URLs (use env vars) โŒ No mobile testing (always check responsive at 390px width) โŒ Large padding on mobile (p-24 = 96px causes overflow on 390px screens) โŒ Not using responsive Tailwind classes (use p-4 md:p-8 lg:p-12) โŒ Horizontal overflow on mobile (content wider than 390px) โŒ Building custom components when shadcn/ui has them (Button, Card, Dialog, etc.) โŒ Using emoji for icons (use Lucide React icons from shadcn/ui) โŒ Not installing @hookform/resolvers and zod before using shadcn forms โŒ Forgetting to add <Toaster /> component when using toast notifications โŒ Taking screenshots before dev server is fully ready (causes white screens) โŒ Not waiting for module loading (causes "Module not found" errors in screenshots)

White Screen Screenshots

Problem: Screenshots show blank white page Cause: Dev server not fully initialized before screenshot Solution: Wait for "Ready in" message in dev server logs Add 3-5 second buffer after "Ready" message Verify localhost:3000 loads in browser before taking screenshot

Module Not Found Errors

Problem: React error "Module not found: Can't resolve @tanstack/react-query" Cause: Dev server started before all packages loaded Solution: Restart dev server: pkill -f "next dev" && npm run dev Verify packages in node_modules: ls node_modules/@tanstack/ Wait 10-15 seconds after npm install before starting dev server

Dev Server Won't Start

Problem: Port already in use (EADDRINUSE error) Solution (PM2 method): # Check what's running pm2 list # Stop the conflicting process pm2 delete <project-name> # Or check port directly lsof -ti:3002 # Kill process on port (if not PM2-managed) kill -9 $(lsof -ti:3002) # Restart with PM2 PORT=3002 pm2 start npm --name "<project-name>" --cwd "$(pwd)" -- run dev

PM2 Process Management

List all PM2 processes: pm2 list Check logs: pm2 logs <project-name> --lines 50 Restart a process: pm2 restart <project-name> Stop a process: pm2 stop <project-name> Delete a process: pm2 delete <project-name> Ensure only one instance runs: # Always delete before starting pm2 delete <project-name> 2>/dev/null || true PORT=3002 pm2 start npm --name "<project-name>" --cwd "$(pwd)" -- run dev Common PM2 scenarios: Project won't start โ†’ Check logs: pm2 logs <project-name> Process keeps restarting โ†’ Module missing or port conflict, check logs Changes not reflecting โ†’ PM2 auto-reloads, verify in logs: pm2 logs <project-name> | grep compiled Multiple instances running โ†’ Delete all: pm2 delete all && pm2 list Check resource usage โ†’ pm2 monit (real-time monitoring) Save PM2 process list โ†’ pm2 save (persists across reboots)

Iteration & Updates

When user requests changes: Identify affected files Make changes PM2 auto-reloads (no manual restart needed for file changes) Run type check: npm run type-check Verify in logs: pm2 logs <project-name> --lines 20 If chromium enabled: take new screenshot Report changes to user Always explain what changed and why.

Essential Commands

# Start dev server pm2 delete <project-name> 2>/dev/null || true PORT=3002 pm2 start npm --name "<project-name>" --cwd "$(pwd)" -- run dev # Check status pm2 list pm2 logs <project-name> # Take screenshots bash scripts/screenshot.sh "http://localhost:3002" /tmp/desktop.png 1400 900 bash scripts/screenshot.sh "http://localhost:3002" /tmp/mobile.png 390 844 # Test production build npm run build && npm run start # Type check npm run type-check

File Locations

Common shadcn Components

npx shadcn-ui@latest add button input form card table dialog toast

Live Preview URLs

Local: http://localhost:3002 Nginx proxy: http://<server-ip>:<external-port> Mobile testing: Use nginx proxy or ngrok

Troubleshooting

Port conflict โ†’ pm2 delete <name> then restart White screen โ†’ Wait for "Ready in" message (check logs) Module errors โ†’ npm install then restart PM2 Type errors โ†’ npm run type-check Layout breaks โ†’ Check responsive classes (p-4 md:p-8 lg:p-12)
