## Build and Development Commands

### Prerequisites

- Python 3.10 or higher
- pip or uv package manager
- Git (for GitHub scraping features)

### Setup (REQUIRED before any development)

```bash
# Install in editable mode (REQUIRED for tests due to src/ layout)
pip install -e .

# Install with all platform dependencies
pip install -e ".[all-llms]"

# Install with all optional dependencies
pip install -e ".[all]"

# Install specific platforms only
pip install -e ".[gemini]"    # Google Gemini support
pip install -e ".[openai]"    # OpenAI ChatGPT support
pip install -e ".[mcp]"       # MCP server dependencies
pip install -e ".[s3]"        # AWS S3 support
pip install -e ".[gcs]"       # Google Cloud Storage
pip install -e ".[azure]"     # Azure Blob Storage
pip install -e ".[embedding]" # Embedding server support
pip install -e ".[rag-upload]" # Vector DB upload support

# Install dev dependencies (using dependency-groups)
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

**CRITICAL:** The project uses a `src/` layout. Tests WILL FAIL unless you install with `pip install -e .` first.

### Building

```bash
# Build package using uv (recommended)
uv build

# Or using standard build
python -m build

# Publish to PyPI
uv publish
```

### Docker

```bash
# Build Docker image
docker build -t skill-seekers .

# Run with docker-compose (includes vector databases)
docker-compose up -d

# Run MCP server only
docker-compose up -d mcp-server

# View logs
docker-compose logs -f mcp-server
```

---

## Testing Instructions

### Running Tests

**CRITICAL:** Never skip tests - all tests must pass before commits.

```bash
# All tests (must run pip install -e . first!)
pytest tests/ -v

# Specific test file
pytest tests/test_scraper_features.py -v
pytest tests/test_mcp_fastmcp.py -v
pytest tests/test_cloud_storage.py -v

# With coverage
pytest tests/ --cov=src/skill_seekers --cov-report=term --cov-report=html

# Single test
pytest tests/test_scraper_features.py::test_detect_language -v

# E2E tests
pytest tests/test_e2e_three_stream_pipeline.py -v

# Skip slow tests
pytest tests/ -v -m "not slow"

# Run only integration tests
pytest tests/ -v -m integration

# Run only specific marker
pytest tests/ -v -m "not slow and not integration"
```

### Test Architecture

- **105+ test files** covering all features
- **CI Matrix:** Ubuntu + macOS, Python 3.10-3.12
- Test markers defined in `pyproject.toml`:

| Marker | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `slow` | Tests taking >5 seconds |
| `integration` | Requires external services (APIs) |
| `e2e` | End-to-end tests (resource-intensive) |
| `venv` | Requires virtual environment setup |
| `bootstrap` | Bootstrap skill specific |
| `benchmark` | Performance benchmark tests |

### Test Configuration

From `pyproject.toml`:
```toml
[tool.pytest.ini_options]
testpaths = ["tests"]
python_files = ["test_*.py"]
addopts = "-v --tb=short --strict-markers"
asyncio_mode = "auto"
asyncio_default_fixture_loop_scope = "function"
```

The `conftest.py` file checks that the package is installed before running tests.

## Code Style Guidelines

### Linting and Formatting

```bash
# Run ruff linter
ruff check src/ tests/

# Run ruff formatter check
ruff format --check src/ tests/

# Auto-fix issues
ruff check src/ tests/ --fix
ruff format src/ tests/

# Run mypy type checker
mypy src/skill_seekers --show-error-codes --pretty
```

### Style Rules (from pyproject.toml)

- **Line length:** 100 characters
- **Target Python:** 3.10+
- **Enabled rules:** E, W, F, I, B, C4, UP, ARG, SIM
- **Ignored rules:** E501, F541, ARG002, B007, I001, SIM114
- **Import sorting:** isort style with `skill_seekers` as first-party

### MyPy Configuration (from pyproject.toml)

```toml
[tool.mypy]
python_version = "3.10"
warn_return_any = true
warn_unused_configs = true
disallow_untyped_defs = false
disallow_incomplete_defs = false
check_untyped_defs = true
ignore_missing_imports = true
show_error_codes = true
pretty = true
```

### Code Conventions

1. **Use type hints** where practical (gradual typing approach)
2. **Docstrings:** Use Google-style or standard docstrings
3. **Error handling:** Use specific exceptions, provide helpful messages
4. **Async code:** Use `asyncio`, mark tests with `@pytest.mark.asyncio`
5. **File naming:** Use snake_case for all Python files
6. **Class naming:** Use PascalCase for classes
7. **Function naming:** Use snake_case for functions and methods
8. **Constants:** Use UPPER_CASE for module-level constants

---

## Architecture Patterns

### Platform Adaptor Pattern (Strategy Pattern)

All platform-specific logic is encapsulated in adaptors:

```python
from skill_seekers.cli.adaptors import get_adaptor

# Get platform-specific adaptor
adaptor = get_adaptor('gemini')  # or 'claude', 'openai', 'langchain', etc.

# Package skill
adaptor.package(skill_dir='output/react/', output_path='output/')

# Upload to platform
adaptor.upload(
    package_path='output/react-gemini.tar.gz',
    api_key=os.getenv('GOOGLE_API_KEY')
)
```

Each adaptor inherits from `SkillAdaptor` base class and implements:
- `format_skill_md()` - Format SKILL.md content
- `package()` - Create platform-specific package
- `upload()` - Upload to platform API
- `validate_api_key()` - Validate API key format
- `supports_enhancement()` - Whether AI enhancement is supported

### CLI Architecture (Git-style)

Entry point: `src/skill_seekers/cli/main.py`

The CLI uses subcommands that delegate to existing modules:

```bash
# skill-seekers scrape --config react.json
# Transforms to: doc_scraper.main() with modified sys.argv
```

**Available subcommands:**
- `create` - Unified create command
- `config` - Configuration wizard
- `scrape` - Documentation scraping
- `github` - GitHub repository scraping
- `pdf` - PDF extraction
- `word` - Word document extraction
- `video` - Video extraction (YouTube or local). Use `--setup` to auto-detect GPU and install visual deps.
- `unified` - Multi-source scraping
- `analyze` / `codebase` - Local codebase analysis
- `enhance` - AI enhancement
- `package` - Package skill for target platform
- `upload` - Upload to platform
- `cloud` - Cloud storage operations
- `sync` - Sync monitoring
- `benchmark` - Performance benchmarking
- `embed` - Embedding server
- `install` / `install-agent` - Complete workflow
- `stream` - Streaming ingestion
- `update` - Incremental updates
- `multilang` - Multi-language support
- `quality` - Quality metrics
- `resume` - Resume interrupted jobs
- `estimate` - Estimate page counts
- `workflows` - Workflow management

### MCP Server Architecture

Two implementations:
- `server_fastmcp.py` - Modern, decorator-based (recommended, ~708 lines)
- `server_legacy.py` - Legacy implementation

Tools are organized by category:
- Config tools (3 tools): generate_config, list_configs, validate_config
- Scraping tools (10 tools): estimate_pages, scrape_docs, scrape_github, scrape_pdf, scrape_video (supports `setup` parameter for GPU detection and visual dep installation), scrape_codebase, detect_patterns, extract_test_examples, build_how_to_guides, extract_config_patterns
- Packaging tools (4 tools): package_skill, upload_skill, enhance_skill, install_skill
- Source tools (5 tools): fetch_config, submit_config, add_config_source, list_config_sources, remove_config_source
- Splitting tools (2 tools): split_config, generate_router
- Vector Database tools (4 tools): export_to_weaviate, export_to_chroma, export_to_faiss, export_to_qdrant
- Workflow tools (5 tools): list_workflows, get_workflow, create_workflow, update_workflow, delete_workflow

**Running MCP Server:**
```bash
# Stdio transport (default)
python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp

# HTTP transport
python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --port 8765
```

### Cloud Storage Architecture

Abstract base class pattern for cloud providers:
- `base_storage.py` - Defines `BaseStorageAdaptor` interface
- `s3_storage.py` - AWS S3 implementation
- `gcs_storage.py` - Google Cloud Storage implementation
- `azure_storage.py` - Azure Blob Storage implementation

### Sync Monitoring Architecture

Pydantic-based models in `src/skill_seekers/sync/`:
- `models.py` - Data models (SyncConfig, ChangeReport, SyncState)
- `detector.py` - Change detection logic
- `monitor.py` - Monitoring daemon
- `notifier.py` - Notification system (webhook, email, slack)

## Git Workflow

### Branch Structure

```
main (production)
  ↑
  │ (only maintainer merges)
  │
development (integration) ← default branch for PRs
  ↑
  │ (all contributor PRs go here)
  │
feature branches
```

- **`main`** - Production, always stable, protected
- **`development`** - Active development, default for PRs
- **Feature branches** - Your work, created from `development`

### Creating a Feature Branch

```bash
# 1. Checkout development
git checkout development
git pull upstream development

# 2. Create feature branch
git checkout -b my-feature

# 3. Make changes, commit, push
git add .
git commit -m "Add my feature"
git push origin my-feature

# 4. Create PR targeting 'development' branch
```

---

## CI/CD Configuration

### GitHub Actions Workflows

All workflows are in `.github/workflows/`:

**`tests.yml`:**
- Runs on: push/PR to `main` and `development`
- Lint job: Ruff + MyPy
- Test matrix: Ubuntu + macOS, Python 3.10-3.12
- Coverage: Uploads to Codecov

**`release.yml`:**
- Triggered on version tags (`v*`)
- Builds and publishes to PyPI using `uv`
- Creates GitHub release with changelog

**`docker-publish.yml`:**
- Builds and publishes Docker images
- Multi-architecture support (linux/amd64, linux/arm64)

**`vector-db-export.yml`:**
- Tests vector database exports

**`scheduled-updates.yml`:**
- Scheduled sync monitoring

**`quality-metrics.yml`:**
- Quality metrics tracking

**`test-vector-dbs.yml`:**
- Vector database integration tests

### Pre-commit Checks (Manual)

```bash
# Before committing, run:
ruff check src/ tests/
ruff format --check src/ tests/
pytest tests/ -v -x  # Stop on first failure
```

---

## Security Considerations

### API Keys and Secrets

1. **Never commit API keys** to the repository
2. **Use environment variables:**
   - `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` - Claude AI
   - `GOOGLE_API_KEY` - Google Gemini
   - `OPENAI_API_KEY` - OpenAI
   - `GITHUB_TOKEN` - GitHub API
   - `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` / `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` - AWS S3
   - `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` - GCS
   - `AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING` - Azure
3. **Configuration storage:**
   - Stored at `~/.config/skill-seekers/config.json`
   - Permissions: 600 (owner read/write only)

### Rate Limit Handling

- GitHub API has rate limits (5000 requests/hour for authenticated)
- The tool has built-in rate limit handling with retry logic
- Use `--non-interactive` flag for CI/CD environments

### Custom API Endpoints

Support for Claude-compatible APIs:

```bash
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-custom-api-key
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://custom-endpoint.com/v1
```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**ImportError: No module named 'skill_seekers'**
- Solution: Run `pip install -e .`

**Tests failing with "package not installed"**
- Solution: Ensure you ran `pip install -e .` in the correct virtual environment

**MCP server import errors**
- Solution: Install with `pip install -e ".[mcp]"`

**Type checking failures**
- MyPy is configured to be lenient (gradual typing)
- Focus on critical paths, not full coverage

**Docker build failures**
- Ensure you have BuildKit enabled: `DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1`
- Check that all submodules are initialized: `git submodule update --init`

**Rate limit errors from GitHub**
- Set `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable for authenticated requests
- Improves rate limit from 60 to 5000 requests/hour

## Version Management

The version is defined in `pyproject.toml` and dynamically read by `src/skill_seekers/_version.py`:

```python
# _version.py reads from pyproject.toml
__version__ = get_version()  # Returns version from pyproject.toml
```

**To update version:**
1. Edit `version` in `pyproject.toml`
2. The `_version.py` file will automatically pick up the new version
