# AI SaaS Template - COMPLETE & READY TO USE

🚨 **AI ASSISTANT**: This template is FULLY CONFIGURED. DO NOT recreate basic files!

⚡ **STATUS**: All dependencies installed, all pages created, everything works out of the box.

## 🤖 AI Instructions - READ THIS FIRST

### ✅ What EXISTS (Don't Create):
- `package.json` with all dependencies
- Authentication pages in `(auth)/`
- Marketing pages in `app/blog/`, `app/pricing/`, `app/contact/`

### ❌ Common MISTAKES to AVOID:
1. Creating `package.json` → IT EXISTS
2. Installing packages → ALL INCLUDED
3. Creating login/signup → USE `(auth)/login` and `(auth)/signup`
4. Adding console.log → NOT ALLOWED
5. Configuring Tailwind → ALREADY DONE

export const metadata = {
  title: 'Page Title',
  description: 'Page description',
};

export default function Page() {
  return <div>Your content</div>;
}
```

2. Add frontmatter metadata
3. Write your content in MDX

```mdx
---
title: "Your Blog Post Title"
publishedAt: "2024-01-01"
summary: "Brief description"

---

Your blog content here...
```

### Modifying Styles

## 🤖 AI Development

This template includes `AI_RULES.md` which provides guidance for AI assistants when modifying the codebase. It ensures consistent code quality and maintains performance standards.

## 📈 Best Practices

1. **Use Server Components by default** - Only use Client Components when needed
2. **Lazy load heavy components** - Use `dynamic()` for code splitting
3. **Optimize images** - Always use `next/image`
4. **Minimize client JS** - Keep interactivity server-side when possible
5. **Cache aggressively** - Use proper cache headers

## 🚢 Deployment

### Vercel (Recommended)

```bash
vercel
```

### Other Platforms

1. Build the project: `pnpm build`
2. Start the server: `pnpm start`
3. Ensure Node.js 18+ is available
