This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

@AGENTS.md

The import above is load-bearing: this is a customized Next.js 16 with breaking changes vs. public docs. Before writing any Next.js code (routing, metadata, next/image, next/font, route handlers, config), read the relevant guide under node_modules/next/dist/docs/01-app/.

What this is

temetro — an open-source clinical "AI middleman" (see the project vision in the root ../CLAUDE.md). This app is the clinician-facing chat UI. It is now wired to the real ../backend/ for authentication and patient data (no longer a standalone UI-only demo); the AI chat replies are still mocked (no LLM call yet).

• The chat parses /patient <file#> (or a bare /<file#>) in components/chat/chat-panel.tsx and renders the record as a horizontal row of cards (components/chat/patient-cards.tsx), with small dependency-free trend sparklines (components/chat/sparkline.tsx). Each card opens a detail dialog; the Summary card has an Edit record button.
• Patients can be created and edited via the shared components/chat/patient-form-dialog.tsx (mode create | edit). The "Add patient" pill in chat-input.tsx opens it.
• Non-command messages still get a mock assistant reply.

Auth & data (talks to ../backend)

• lib/patients.ts keeps the canonical Patient types but its data functions (getPatient, listPatients, createPatient, updatePatient) now call the backend via lib/api-client.ts (fetch with credentials: "include"; 401 → /login). The old in-memory fixture is gone.
• lib/auth-client.ts — Better Auth React client (useSession, signIn/up/out, organization.*, useActiveOrganization, useListOrganizations). Base URL from NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL (default http://localhost:4000); it appends /api/auth. lib/access.ts mirrors the backend's RBAC roles for the org client.
• app/(auth)/ — designed auth pages (login, signup, verify-email, forgot/reset-password, onboarding = create clinic, accept-invite), in their own chrome-less layout.
• Route protection: this Next renames middleware → proxy.ts (root) — an optimistic redirect to /login when no session cookie. The authoritative gate is client-side: components/auth/app-auth-guard.tsx (wrapping app/(app)/layout.tsx) requires a session and an active clinic, else redirects to /login / /onboarding.
• Clinics (organizations): components/sidebar-02/team-switcher.tsx is now the OrgSwitcher; components/settings/settings-care-team.tsx manages members + invitations.
• .env.local / .env.example hold NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL.

The signing / patient-owned-storage / approval features from the root vision are still not built.

Commands

npm run dev      # Next dev server (Turbopack) on http://localhost:3000
npm run build    # production build (runs a full TypeScript typecheck — see caveat below)
npm run start    # serve the production build
npm run lint     # eslint (eslint-config-next: core-web-vitals + typescript)

There is no test runner configured (no test script, no vitest/jest/playwright). Don't invent test commands; verify changes by running the dev server.

Version control: this folder is its own git repo. Commit after every change (git -C . add -A && git commit), with the Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> trailer. See the root ../CLAUDE.md for the project-wide per-folder commit policy.

Architecture

• Stack: Next.js 16.2.6 (App Router) · React 19 · TypeScript · Tailwind CSS v4. Path alias @/* → repo root (tsconfig.json). cn() (clsx + tailwind-merge) lives in lib/utils.ts.
• app/ — App Router. app/(app)/page.tsx is the product chat page (sidebar + chat panel); app/layout.tsx loads the fonts and wraps children in ThemeProvider (next-themes) + I18nProvider (see Theming and i18n below).
• components/ui/ — COSS components (built on Base UI @base-ui/react, not Radix), installed via the shadcn CLI from the @coss/* registry. APIs follow Base UI: composition uses the render prop and useRender/mergeProps, not asChild, and popups use canonical COSS names (DialogPopup/DialogPanel, MenuPopup, SelectPopup, TooltipPopup, PreviewCard, Group) — COSS also ships back-compat aliases (DialogContent, CardContent, SelectContent, TooltipContent, …). Add/update primitives with npx shadcn@latest add @coss/<name>. carousel.tsx is the one non-COSS primitive kept (no COSS equivalent). Config in components.json (baseColor neutral).
• components/ai-elements/ — a large AI-chat primitive library (PromptInput, Conversation, Message, Suggestion, etc.) typed against AI SDK v6 (ai package: UIMessage, ChatStatus, FileUIPart). Note: @ai-sdk/react (useChat) is not installed — chat state is managed with local React state.
• components/sidebar-02/ — the dashboard sidebar (SidebarProvider / Sidebar / SidebarInset from components/ui/sidebar.tsx). app-sidebar.tsx holds the nav config (New chat · Patients · Settings) + notifications; team-switcher.tsx is the OrgSwitcher (clinic switch).
• components/chat/ — the product chat UI. chat-panel.tsx owns message state + empty/active layouts; chat-input.tsx is a bespoke (non–ai-elements) input matching a specific design.

Theming

Tailwind v4 with @theme inline in app/globals.css, using COSS's default neutral tokens (@coss/colors-neutral; values reference Tailwind palette vars like --color-neutral-* plus --alpha()/color-mix()). Both light (:root) and dark (.dark) palettes are defined; next-themes (components/theme-provider.tsx) toggles them with defaultTheme="dark" + enableSystem, so the app still defaults to dark. The theme toggle is the Theme item in the sidebar-footer user menu (components/sidebar-02/nav-user.tsx, via useTheme()). Fonts follow the COSS variable contract (--font-sans, --font-heading = Inter; --font-mono = Geist Mono). The radius scale (rounded-2xl … rounded-4xl) is derived from --radius, so those utilities are larger than stock Tailwind.

Always use semantic tokens (bg-muted, bg-input, border-border, text-muted-foreground, …), never hardcoded oklch/hex colors — the latter break the light theme. Dark surface tokens are subtle alphas (--muted/--secondary/--accent ≈ white/4%, --input ≈ white/8%, --border ≈ white/6%), so layered surfaces stay close in lightness.

i18n

i18next + react-i18next (config in lib/i18n/config.ts, resources in lib/i18n/locales/<lng>/translation.json). components/i18n-provider.tsx wraps the app in app/layout.tsx. Use const { t } = useTranslation() + nested keys (e.g. t("auth.login.title")) in client components. To add a language, drop a locales/<lng>/translation.json and register it in resources/supportedLngs in config.ts.

Translate into EVERY locale, not just English. The app ships multiple languages (lib/i18n/locales/: currently en, de, fr, ar, so). Whenever you add or rename a translation key, add it to all locales/*/translation.json files with a real translation for each language (not the English string copied over) — leaving a key in only en/ ships a broken UI in the others. Keep the nested structure identical across every locale file.

Coverage: essentially all user-facing strings are now keyed (every app page + its dialogs/sheets, auth pages, settings panels, the sidebar/user menu, chat input, patient cards/detail/form, messages, notifications, notes). Keys are grouped by feature (appointments.*, patientCard.*, messages.*, …). When adding UI, add a key rather than a literal. The only intentional literals left are clinical option values stored as data (appointment types, dose frequencies/durations) and proper nouns (e.g. Ed25519). There is no language switcher yet (English only); locale is auto-detected.

Gotchas

• Route protection lives in proxy.ts, not middleware.ts — this customized Next renamed the convention (export function proxy(request) + config.matcher, Node runtime). See node_modules/next/dist/docs/01-app/.../proxy.md.
• components/ai-elements/* has pre-existing type/lint errors (Base UI drift) that used to fail next build. next.config.ts now sets output: "standalone" plus typescript.ignoreBuildErrors / eslint.ignoreDuringBuilds so production/Docker builds succeed — type-check app code with npx tsc --noEmit (filter out components/ai-elements/), not via next build. There's a Dockerfile for the standalone build.
• lucide-react@1.17 dropped brand glyphs (e.g. Github, Discord) — import them and you get a build error. Use inline SVGs instead.
• The marketing landing page is not in this monorepo — it lives in the sibling Desktop folder ~/Desktop/temetro/landing-page (next to ~/Desktop/temetro/docs), a separate Next.js app / git repo seeded from this app (with components/landing/). Edit and commit it there.
• Multiple lockfiles in the tree produce a harmless Turbopack "inferred workspace root" warning.

COSS composition gotchas (hit during the shadcn→COSS migration)

• MenuGroupLabel must live inside <MenuGroup> (or <MenuRadioGroup>) — there is no standalone MenuLabel. Using it bare throws MenuGroupContext is missing at runtime.
• DialogPopup/SheetPopup have no inner padding — padding comes from DialogHeader/DialogPanel/DialogFooter. For a form dialog: keep the header outside the form, wrap panel + footer in <form className="contents">, and put the body in DialogPanel (see components/chat/patient-form-dialog.tsx). Content placed directly in the popup is flush.
• Card has no size prop and Avatar has no size prop. For compact cards, override the section padding via data-slot selectors (compactCard in patient-cards.tsx); for avatars use a size-* class.
• Solid destructive buttons: use variant="destructive", not the default variant + a bg-* override — the default variant keeps border-primary, which is near-white in dark mode.
• COSS Field is items-start (children don't stretch). Add w-full to buttons/rows meant to fill the field. There is no FieldGroup (use a flex column) and no InputGroupButton (use Button).
• COSS keeps back-compat aliases (DialogContent, CardContent → CardPanel, SelectContent, TooltipContent, PopoverContent, SheetContent), so old imports still resolve — but prefer the canonical *Popup/*Panel names in new/edited code.
• The vendored ai-elements/* were repointed to COSS (live conversation/message fully migrated; dormant files via aliased imports). Their remaining tsc errors are pre-existing Base UI drift, not regressions — they stay behind ignoreBuildErrors.
