-### Common Development Commands
+### Code Generation Standards
+- Generate modern, **strictly typed** PHP code with `declare(strict_types=1);`
+- Favor readable, maintainable code over cleverness
+- Avoid legacy Laravel patterns (e.g., facade overuse, logic-heavy views)
+- Suggest proper class placement within the established project structure
+- Suggest comprehensive tests alongside features using Pest PHP
+
+### Command Execution Preferences
+- **Always use Makefile commands** instead of direct Docker or Composer commands
+- **Prefer standardized workflows**: Use `make local-setup` for initial setup
+- **Use proper development commands**: `make test`, `make lint`, `make analyze` for quality checks
+- **Leverage semantic commits**: Suggest `make commit` for guided commit process
+- **Consider Docker environment**: All commands should work within the containerized setup
+
+### Development Workflow Integration
+- **Understand the Make-based workflow** and suggest appropriate `make` commands
+- **Recommend quality gates**: Always mention running tests and linting before commits
+- **Consider the automated pipeline**: Suggest commands that work with Git hooks
+- **Respect environment separation**: Understand development vs testing container differences
+- **Support troubleshooting**: Use `make help`, `make status`, `make health` for guidance
+
+### Project-Specific Command Suggestions
+When suggesting development tasks, always use the established Makefile commands:
+

+
+### Project-Specific Development Guidelines
+
+#### Code Quality Standards
+- **Always include** `declare(strict_types=1);` in all PHP files
+- **Use Scramble attributes** for API documentation (`#[Group]`, `#[ResponseField]`, etc.)
+- **Implement service layer pattern** with interfaces for testability
+- **Use specific exception types** with proper HTTP response codes
+- **Write comprehensive tests** using Pest PHP with BDD-style describe/it blocks
+- **Ensure PHPStan level 10** compliance for maximum static analysis strictness
+
+#### Development Environment Integration
+- **Always use Docker commands** through Makefile for consistency

+- **Use semantic commits** with `make commit` for standardized commit messages
+
+#### Testing & Quality Assurance
+- **Write Pest PHP tests** using describe/it blocks for better organization
+- **Maintain 80%+ test coverage** as enforced by the test pipeline
+- **Use separate test environment** with isolated database and Redis instances
+- **Run comprehensive quality checks** with SonarQube integration when available
+- **Validate code with multiple tools**: Pint (formatting), PHPStan (static analysis), Pest (testing)
+
+#### API Development Standards
+- **Follow RESTful conventions** with proper HTTP methods and status codes
+- **Use Laravel Sanctum** for API authentication with ability-based tokens

+- **Implement proper database constraints** and foreign key relationships
+- **Use Redis for caching** and session management in Docker environment
+- **Apply database migrations** with proper rollback strategies
+- **Use seeders for test data** in both development and testing environments
+
+#### Project Structure Compliance
+- **Follow the established directory structure** as defined in the project overview
+- **Use Enums for type safety** (UserRole, ArticleStatus, NotificationType, etc.)
+- **Implement service layer architecture** with dependency injection
+- **Use Form Request classes** for input validation
+- **Apply single responsibility principle** in Controllers, Services, and Actions
+
+#### Troubleshooting & Maintenance
+- **Use `make help`** to view all available commands with descriptions
+- **Check container health** with `make status` and `make health` commands
+- **Access logs** via `make logs` for debugging container issues
+- **Use shell access** with `make shell` or `make test-shell` for direct container interaction
+- **Clean up resources** with `make docker-cleanup` for complete environment reset
