-**Interview-driven, research-first API development with 14-phase TDD workflow**
+> **A systematic approach to building Next.js applications with AI assistance.**
+>
+> Instead of letting AI improvise, this package enforces a structured 14-phase workflow:
+> research the API docs first, use sensible defaults (or interview you about requirements),
+> write failing tests, implement, then verify against the docs again. **Autonomous mode is
+> ON by default** - interviews use comprehensive defaults, iterative phases loop until
+> complete. Every step is tracked through 56 hooks.

-## Additional Commands
+## API Showcase
 
-### TDD Workflow
+Interactive documentation and testing UI for all your APIs:
 
 ```bash
-/red              # Write ONE failing test
-/green            # Minimal implementation to pass
-/refactor         # Clean up while tests pass
-/cycle [desc]     # Complete Red → Green → Refactor
+# Access at: http://localhost:3000/api-showcase
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Grid view of all registered APIs with search and filtering
+- Click any API to open interactive testing modal
+- **Example Requests** - Pre-built, runnable examples that auto-fill query params
+- **Try It** - Live API testing with real responses
+- **Curl Examples** - Copy working curl commands
+- **Documentation** - File locations, schemas, parameters
+
+### How Examples Work
+
+Examples are generated from your Zod schema parameters during Phase 13 (Documentation):
+
+```json
+// In registry.json - auto-generated from schema
+"endpoints": {
+  "search": {
+    "params": [...],
+    "examples": {
+      "basic": {
+        "description": "Basic search request",
+        "query": "action=search&query=nature",
+        "curl": "curl -X GET 'http://localhost:3000/api/v2/unsplash?action=search&query=nature'"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The showcase reads examples from `registry.json` and displays clickable buttons that auto-fill the request.
+

+
+## TypeDoc Integration
+
+Generate API documentation from TSDoc comments:
+
+```bash
+pnpm typedoc           # Generate docs to docs/api/
+pnpm typedoc:watch     # Watch mode for development
+```
+
+TypeDoc runs during **Phase 13 (Documentation)** and generates Markdown documentation from:
+- `src/lib/schemas/*.ts` - Zod schemas with TSDoc comments
+- `src/app/api/**/*.ts` - API route handlers
+
+Configuration: `typedoc.json` (installed by the CLI)

+## FAQ
+
+### General
+
+**Q: What's the main purpose of this package?**
+
+A: To provide a systematic, research-first approach to building Next.js applications with AI. Instead of letting AI improvise from memory, this package enforces a 14-phase workflow that researches documentation first, interviews you about requirements, writes tests before code, and verifies the implementation against docs.
+
+**Q: Does this work with Claude Code only?**
+
+A: It's designed for Claude Code but works with any AI assistant that supports the Agent Skills format (VS Code, Cursor, etc). The hooks require Python 3.9+.
+
+**Q: Is this for Next.js only?**
+
+A: The workflows are optimized for Next.js (App Router), but the TDD patterns and research-first approach work with any framework. Component workflows assume React.
+
+---
+
+### Workflows
+
+**Q: What's the difference between `/api-create` and `/hustle-build`?**
+
+A: `/api-create` builds a single API endpoint through all 14 phases. `/hustle-build` is an orchestrator that can decompose complex requests ("build a dashboard with auth and payments") into multiple coordinated workflows.
+
+**Q: Why 14 phases? Isn't that too many?**
+
+A: Each phase serves a specific purpose. The research phases (3, 5) ensure we use current docs, not outdated training data. The interview phase (4) captures YOUR requirements, not generic assumptions. The verification phase (10) catches implementation drift. Skipping phases leads to bugs and rework.
+
+**Q: Can I skip the interview phase?**
+
+A: Yes, with autonomous mode (enabled by default). Set `autonomous.skip_interviews: true` in `.claude/hustle-build-defaults.json`. The system will auto-select comprehensive defaults based on "(Recommended)" options in skills. All auto-answers are logged to `.claude/workflow-logs/` for post-hoc review.
+
+**Q: What are Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)?**
+
+A: ADRs capture significant design decisions with context. During research, when multiple options are discovered (e.g., Supabase vs Firebase vs Postgres), an ADR is auto-generated with trade-offs. This gives users informed context BEFORE the interview. After selection, the ADR is updated with the decision. See [docs/ARCHITECTURE_DECISION_RECORDS.md](./docs/ARCHITECTURE_DECISION_RECORDS.md).
+

+
+### Testing
+
+**Q: What's the difference between E2E, Visual, and Storybook tests?**
+
+| Test Type | Tool | What It Tests | When to Use |
+|-----------|------|---------------|-------------|
+| **E2E** | Playwright | Full user flows (click, type, navigate) | Critical paths: login, checkout |
+| **Visual** | Playwright + Haiku | Screenshot comparison across viewports | UI regressions, responsive design |
+| **Storybook** | Storybook | Component states in isolation | Component props, variants |
+| **Unit** | Vitest | Functions, hooks, utilities | Business logic, data transforms |
+
+**Q: How many viewports does visual testing cover?**
+
+A: 7 viewports: Mobile (375px), Mobile Notch (393px), Mobile Landscape (667px), Tablet Portrait (768px), Tablet Landscape (1024px), Small Desktop (1280px), Desktop (1920px). Each includes safe area insets for notched devices.
+
+**Q: What browsers does Playwright test?**
+
+A: Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. This covers all desktop browsers plus mobile webviews (Capacitor/Tauri use these same engines).
+
+---
+
+### Security
+
+**Q: How does `/test-review` detect security issues?**
+
+A: Two layers:
+1. **ESLint rules** (deterministic): `eslint-plugin-security` and `eslint-plugin-no-unsanitized` catch XSS, injection, path traversal, etc.
+2. **AI checklist** (structured): Follows a security checklist for auth, input validation, data exposure, OWASP Top 10.
+
+**Q: What security vulnerabilities can it catch?**
+
+SQL Injection, XSS, Command Injection, Path Traversal, Prototype Pollution, Auth Bypass, Exposed Secrets, CSRF, Rate Limiting gaps, ReDoS, and more.
+
+---
+
+### Multi-Platform
+
+**Q: Can I build desktop/mobile apps?**
+
+A: The package focuses on web-first development. For desktop, we recommend Tauri (lighter than Electron). For mobile, we recommend Capacitor (wraps your web app). Both use web technologies, so your Playwright tests cover them.
+
+**Q: Do I need Expo or React Native?**
+
+A: No. Expo/React Native are different codebases. Capacitor wraps your existing Next.js app in a native shell, no code rewrite needed.
+
+---
+
+### Registry & State
+
+**Q: Are my settings saved between sessions?**
+
+A: Yes. The `.claude/registry.json` persists project-wide and stores:
+- All APIs, components, pages you've created
+- Orchestrator defaults (error handling, auth method, etc.)
+- Visual test results
+
+The `.claude/api-dev-state.json` tracks current workflow progress (resets per workflow).
+
+**Q: What does the registry track?**
+
+APIs, Components, Pages, Hooks, Utils, Types, Context Providers, and Orchestrator Defaults.
+
+---
+
+### Token Usage
+
+**Q: How do I track token costs?**
+
+A: Run `/token-report` to see estimated token usage by phase. Uses ccusage to parse Claude Code logs. Note: Estimates may vary ±10% from actual billing.
+
+**Q: Which phases use the most tokens?**
+
+A: Typically Research phases (3, 5) use 40-50% of tokens. If this is too high, use more targeted search queries.
+
+---
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+**Q: Hooks aren't running - what's wrong?**
+
+A: Check:
+1. Python 3.9+ is installed: `python3 --version`
+2. Hooks are executable: `chmod +x .claude/hooks/*.py`
+3. Settings.json has correct hook paths
+
+**Q: Research is outdated - how do I refresh?**
+
+A: Delete `.claude/research/[api-name]/` folder. Next workflow will re-research. Or wait 7 days (auto-refresh).
+
+**Q: Workflow stopped mid-phase - how do I resume?**
+
+A: Run `/api-status` to see current state, then run the appropriate phase command (e.g., `/green` if stopped during TDD Green).
