+# Extend getOrCreateClusterResourceSnapshot to Handle Both Snapshot Types
+
+## Context
+
+Following successful interface refactoring and deletion function optimizations, user requested: "can you modify the function getOrCreateClusterResourceSnapshot to handle both clusterresourcesnapshot and resourcesnapshot?"
+
+## Problem
+
+The `getOrCreateClusterResourceSnapshot` function in `/Users/ryanzhang/Workspace/github/kubefleet/pkg/controllers/clusterresourceplacement/controller.go` (lines 468-650) currently only handles `ClusterResourceSnapshot` (cluster-scoped) resources. We need to extend it to also handle `ResourceSnapshot` (namespace-scoped) resources using the common `ResourceSnapshotObj` interface.
+
+## Research Findings
+
+### ResourceSnapshotObj Interface Structure
+```go
+type ResourceSnapshotObj interface {
+    apis.ConditionedObj
+    ResourceSnapshotSpecGetterSetter
+    ResourceSnapshotStatusGetterSetter
+}
+
+type ResourceSnapshotSpecGetterSetter interface {
+    GetResourceSnapshotSpec() *ResourceSnapshotSpec
+    SetResourceSnapshotSpec(ResourceSnapshotSpec)
+}
+
+type ResourceSnapshotStatusGetterSetter interface {
+    GetResourceSnapshotStatus() *ResourceSnapshotStatus
+    SetResourceSnapshotStatus(ResourceSnapshotStatus)
+}
+```
+
+### Implementation Types
+- **ClusterResourceSnapshot** (cluster-scoped, v1beta1) - implements ResourceSnapshotObj
+- **ResourceSnapshot** (namespace-scoped, v1beta1) - implements ResourceSnapshotObj
+
+Both types share:
+- Same `ResourceSnapshotSpec` structure
+- Same interface methods for spec/status access
+- Same labeling and annotation patterns
+- Different scoping (cluster vs namespace)
+
+### Pattern Precedent
+The delete functions already follow this pattern:
+- `deleteClusterSchedulingPolicySnapshots` handles both ClusterSchedulingPolicySnapshot and SchedulingPolicySnapshot
+- `deleteResourceSnapshots` uses `DeleteAllOf` with namespace awareness
+
+## Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Function Signature Updates
+- [x] Task 1.1: Change function signature to accept `PlacementObj` interface instead of concrete type
+- [x] Task 1.2: Update return type to use `ResourceSnapshotObj` interface
+- [x] Task 1.3: Update function name to `getOrCreateResourceSnapshot` for clarity
+
+### Phase 2: Namespace Detection Logic
+- [x] Task 2.1: Add helper function to determine if placement is namespace-scoped
+- [x] Task 2.2: Implement logic to choose between ClusterResourceSnapshot and ResourceSnapshot based on placement scope
+
+### Phase 3: Snapshot Creation Logic
+- [ ] Task 3.1: Extend `buildMasterClusterResourceSnapshot` to handle both types
+- [ ] Task 3.2: Extend `buildSubIndexResourceSnapshot` to handle both types
+- [ ] Task 3.3: Update snapshot creation logic to use proper type based on scope
+
+### Phase 4: Helper Functions Updates
+- [ ] Task 4.1: Update `lookupLatestResourceSnapshot` to handle both types
+- [ ] Task 4.2: Update `listSortedResourceSnapshots` to handle both types
+- [ ] Task 4.3: Update `createResourceSnapshot` to handle both types
+
+### Phase 5: Testing and Validation
+- [ ] Task 5.1: Run existing unit tests to ensure no regression
+- [ ] Task 5.2: Verify function works with both cluster-scoped and namespace-scoped placements
+- [ ] Task 5.3: Ensure interface compatibility throughout the codebase
+
+## Success Criteria
+- Function accepts both ClusterResourcePlacement and ResourcePlacement
+- Creates appropriate snapshot type based on placement scope
+- Maintains all existing functionality for cluster-scoped resources
+- Uses ResourceSnapshotObj interface throughout
+- No breaking changes to existing API
+- All tests pass
+
+## Implementation Notes
+- Follow established namespace-aware pattern from delete functions
+- Use ResourceSnapshotObj interface consistently
+- Maintain backward compatibility
+- Apply same labeling/annotation patterns for both types
