+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+This is the **Portkey AI Gateway** - a fast, reliable AI gateway that routes requests to 250+ LLMs with sub-1ms latency. It's built with Hono framework for TypeScript/JavaScript and can be deployed to multiple environments including Cloudflare Workers, Node.js servers, and Docker containers.
+
+## Development Commands
+
+### Core Development
+- `npm run dev` - Start development server using Wrangler (Cloudflare Workers)
+- `npm run dev:node` - Start development server using Node.js
+- `npm run build` - Build the project for production
+- `npm run build-plugins` - Build the plugin system
+
+### Testing
+- `npm run test:gateway` - Run tests for the main gateway code (src/)
+- `npm run test:plugins` - Run tests for plugins
+- `jest src/` - Run specific gateway tests
+- `jest plugins/` - Run specific plugin tests
+
+### Code Quality
+- `npm run format` - Format code with Prettier
+- `npm run format:check` - Check code formatting
+- `npm run pretty` - Alternative format command
+
+### Deployment
+- `npm run deploy` - Deploy to Cloudflare Workers
+- `npm run start:node` - Start production Node.js server
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+**Main Application (`src/index.ts`)**
+- Hono-based HTTP server with middleware pipeline
+- Handles multiple AI provider integrations
+- Routes: `/v1/chat/completions`, `/v1/completions`, `/v1/embeddings`, etc.
+
+**Provider System (`src/providers/`)**
+- Modular provider implementations (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, etc.)
+- Each provider has standardized interface: `api.ts`, `chatComplete.ts`, `embed.ts`
+- Provider configs define supported features and transformations
+
+**Middleware Pipeline**
+- `requestValidator` - Validates incoming requests
+- `hooks` - Pre/post request hooks
+- `memoryCache` - Response caching
+- `logger` - Request/response logging
+- `portkey` - Core Portkey-specific middleware for routing, guardrails, etc.
+
+**Plugin System (`plugins/`)**
+- Guardrail plugins for content filtering, PII detection, etc.
+- Each plugin has `manifest.json` defining capabilities
+- Plugins are built separately with `npm run build-plugins`
+
+### Key Concepts
+
+**Configs** - JSON configurations that define:
+- Provider routing and fallbacks
+- Load balancing strategies
+- Guardrails and content filtering
+- Caching and retry policies
+
+**Handlers** - Route-specific request processors in `src/handlers/`
+- Each AI API endpoint has dedicated handler
+- Stream handling for real-time responses
+- WebSocket support for realtime APIs
+
+## File Structure
+
+- `src/providers/` - AI provider integrations
+- `src/handlers/` - API endpoint handlers
+- `src/middlewares/` - Request/response middleware
+- `plugins/` - Guardrail and validation plugins
+- `cookbook/` - Example integrations and use cases
+- `conf.json` - Runtime configuration
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+Tests are organized by component:
+- `src/tests/` - Core gateway functionality tests
+- `src/handlers/__tests__/` - Handler-specific tests
+- `plugins/*/**.test.ts` - Plugin tests
+- Test timeout: 30 seconds (configured in jest.config.js)
+
+## Configuration
+
+The gateway uses `conf.json` for runtime configuration. Sample config available in `conf_sample.json`.
+
+Key environment variables and configuration handled through Hono's adapter system for multi-environment deployment.
