🛠️ Why This Tech Stack? (Ken's Picks)

I chose these tools specifically because Claude Code works amazing with them:

• Next.js 15 - Claude Code understands the App Router perfectly
• TypeScript - Gives Claude Code context about your code structure
• Tailwind CSS - Claude Code can generate beautiful styles instantly
• shadcn/ui - Ready-made components Claude Code can use/modify
• Vitest - Claude Code can write and run tests for you
• React Hook Form + Zod - Perfect for AI-generated forms

📁 Project Structure (AI-Optimized)

💡 Ken's tip: This structure helps Claude Code understand your project instantly!

🧪 Testing (AI-Powered)

npm run test        # Run tests once
npm run test:watch  # Run tests in watch mode
npm run test:ui     # Run tests with UI

Claude Code can:

• Write tests for your components automatically
• Fix failing tests
• Add new test cases when you add features

📝 Available Scripts

• npm run dev - Start development server with Turbopack
• npm run build - Build the application for production
• npm run start - Start the production server
• npm run lint - Run ESLint to check code quality
• npm run type-check - Run TypeScript compiler to check types

💡 Ken's workflow: Run npm run dev, then ask Claude Code to add features while it's running!
