+# AGENTS.MD - Instructions for AI Agents
+
+This document provides guidance for AI agents working on this project. It outlines the project structure, development workflow, and other important information to help you contribute effectively.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+This is a full-stack web application built with the following technologies:
+
+*   **Backend:**
+    *   [FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/): A modern, fast (high-performance) web framework for building APIs with Python.
+    *   [SQLModel](https://sqlmodel.tiangolo.com/): A library for interacting with SQL databases from Python code, with Python objects.
+    *   [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/): A powerful, open-source object-relational database system.
+    *   [Alembic](https://alembic.sqlalchemy.org/): A lightweight database migration tool for SQLAlchemy.
+*   **Frontend:**
+    *   [React](https://react.dev/): A JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
+    *   [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/): A typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript.
+    *   [Vite](https://vitejs.dev/): A fast frontend build tool.
+    *   [Chakra UI](https://chakra-ui.com/): A simple, modular and accessible component library for React.
+*   **DevOps & Tooling:**
+    *   [Docker](https://www.docker.com/): For containerizing the application for consistent development and deployment.
+    *   [Traefik](https://traefik.io/): A modern reverse proxy and load balancer.
+    *   [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/): For Python package and environment management.
+    *   [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/): For running pre-commit hooks to maintain code quality.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Backend Setup
+
+1.  Navigate to the `backend` directory: `cd backend`
+2.  Install the Python dependencies using `uv`:
+    ```bash
+    uv sync
+    ```
+3.  Activate the virtual environment:
+    ```bash
+    source .venv/bin/activate
+    ```
+
+### Frontend Setup
+
+1.  Navigate to the `frontend` directory: `cd frontend`
+2.  Ensure you have `nvm` or `fnm` installed. Then, install and use the correct Node.js version:
+    ```bash
+    # Using fnm
+    fnm install
+    fnm use
+
+    # Or using nvm
+    nvm install
+    nvm use
+    ```
+3.  Install the NPM dependencies:
+    ```bash
+    npm install
+    ```
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+The primary way to run the application for development is using Docker Compose.
+
+1.  From the project root, start the entire stack:
+    ```bash
+    docker compose watch
+    ```
+2.  This will make the following services available:
+    *   **Frontend:** `http://localhost:5173`
+    *   **Backend API:** `http://localhost:8000`
+    *   **API Docs (Swagger):** `http://localhost:8000/docs`
+    *   **Database Admin (Adminer):** `http://localhost:8080`
+    *   **Email Catcher (MailCatcher):** `http://localhost:1080`
+
+For a faster development loop, you can run the frontend or backend services locally outside of Docker. See `development.md` for more details.
+
+## Testing
+
+### Backend Tests
+
+1.  Navigate to the `backend` directory.
+2.  Run the tests using the provided script:
+    ```bash
+    bash ./scripts/test.sh
+    ```
+    This script uses `pytest` to run the test suite.
+
+### Frontend End-to-End Tests
+
+1.  Make sure the Docker stack is running: `docker compose up -d --wait backend`
+2.  Navigate to the `frontend` directory.
+3.  Run the Playwright tests:
+    ```bash
+    npx playwright test
+    ```
+
+## Code Generation
+
+The frontend has a generated API client based on the backend's OpenAPI schema. If you make changes to the backend API, you must regenerate the client.
+
+1.  Ensure the backend virtual environment is activated.
+2.  From the project root, run the generation script:
+    ```bash
+    ./scripts/generate-client.sh
+    ```
+3.  Commit the updated client files in `frontend/src/client/`.
+
+## Code Style & Linting
+
+This project uses `pre-commit` to enforce code style and linting. The hooks are defined in `.pre-commit-config.yaml`.
+
+*   **Installation:** Run `pre-commit install` once to set up the git hooks.
+*   **Usage:** The hooks will run automatically before each commit. If a hook modifies a file, you will need to stage the changes and commit again.
+*   **Manual Run:** You can run the hooks on all files at any time with `pre-commit run --all-files`.
+
+## Deployment
+
+The application is designed to be deployed using Docker. A CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions is configured for `staging` and `production` environments. For detailed deployment instructions, please refer to the `deployment.md` file.
