+## Source-First Operating Protocol
+
+Treat this skill pack as curated guidance, not the final implementation truth. When a task is unclear, or when a package API seems different from the skill text:
+
+1. Inspect the consumer project first to understand the package versions and local usage pattern.
+2. Prefer local framework source at `../joktec-framework` when available.
+3. Read package `README.md`, nearest `AGENTS.md`, and `src/index.ts` before changing code.
+4. If local source is unavailable, use `https://github.com/joktec/joktec-framework` as fallback.
+5. Do not invent behavior that is not visible in framework source or package docs.
+6. If package docs and source conflict, source code wins and the mismatch should be treated as documentation drift.

+- `AGENTS.md` and `docs/agents/*` for framework-level architecture and runtime policy.

 # Common Core Usage
 
+## Source Lookup

+- `packages/common/core/src/infras/application.ts`
+- `packages/common/core/src/modules/*`
+
 ## Runtime Bootstrap
 
 Use the application bootstrap helpers from `@joktec/core` for gateway and microservice runtimes. Keep runtime behavior config-driven.
 
+Best practice:
+
+- Use `Application.bootstrap(AppModule)` instead of hand-rolling Nest bootstrap unless the consumer app has a specific runtime reason.
+- Keep gateway-only behavior in gateway runtime modules and microservice-only behavior in micro runtime modules.
+- Register framework modules through their dynamic module APIs when provided.
+- Do not duplicate config parsing, logger setup, metrics setup, or process lifecycle hooks in consumer apps.
+
 ## CRUD Abstractions
 
 - `BaseController` creates standard REST CRUD endpoints for DTO-backed resources.
 - `BaseService` delegates repository operations through the shared repository contract.
 - `ClientController` and `ClientService` provide generated microservice CRUD patterns.
 
+Use BaseController/BaseService when the resource follows standard CRUD. Avoid them when the endpoint has domain-specific command semantics, multi-step transactions, or non-standard authorization that would make the generic abstraction obscure behavior.
+
+Controller checklist:
+
+- choose the DTO/entity class intentionally
+- set `paginationMode` for the representative Swagger response shape
+- use `customDto.paginationDto` only when the built-in page/offset/cursor response does not represent the API
+- keep auth/guards/interceptors consistent with app conventions
+- avoid putting business branching in controller methods when it belongs in the service
+
 ## Pagination
 
 Request priority is cursor, then offset, then page. `BaseController.paginationMode` affects Swagger response shape; runtime selection remains request-driven unless the app service narrows it.
 
+Best practice:
+
+- Use page pagination for admin tables and simple back-office views.
+- Use offset pagination for mobile-style load-more when the data set is moderate and stable enough.
+- Use cursor pagination for feeds, timelines, frequently inserted lists, or large tables.
+- Do not document cursor support for a resource unless the underlying repository package actually supports it.
+- When using cursor mode, ensure the database layer has stable sort keys and tie-breakers.
+
 ## Client Lifecycle
 
 Use `ClientConfig`, `AbstractClientService`, and `conId` when building or consuming packages that support multiple client connections.
 
+Client package checklist:
+
+- config class validates all required runtime options
+- service startup fails clearly when the native client cannot initialize
+- shutdown closes native connections only when initialized
+- `conId` is preserved through service/repository calls
+- logs do not leak credentials or full connection strings
+- retries and debug behavior are config-driven
+
+## Do Not
+
+- Do not import concrete package or app code into `@joktec/core`.
+- Do not bypass shared pagination contracts with ad-hoc response shapes for standard CRUD.
+- Do not add new public symbols without exporting them through `src/index.ts`.
+- Do not silently swallow bootstrap/client initialization failures.

+
 ## Module Setup
 
 Register schemas with `MongoModule.forRoot({ conId, models: [...] })`. Use the same `conId` in app repositories when using non-default connections.
 
+Best practice:
+
+- Register app schema classes in the consumer app repository module.
+- Use one owner process for index creation in multi-process deployments.

 ## Schema Decorators
 
 Use `@Schema` and `@Prop` wrappers from `@joktec/mongo` for Typegoose schema metadata plus validation, transform, and Swagger metadata.
 
 Avoid mutating shared option objects across multiple properties.
 
+Best practice:
+
+- Use schema-first decorators when the schema should be reused by DTO mapped types.
+- Keep raw `@prop` or raw Mongoose decorators only when the wrapper cannot express the behavior.
+- Pass custom validators/transforms explicitly rather than adding hidden global behavior.
+- Keep maps, snapshots, and dynamic objects explicit so helper conversion does not alter their shape.
+- Keep app-level reference semantics visible; strict reference plugin checks existence, but the app still owns domain rules.
+
 ## Plugins
 
 - Paranoid plugin handles soft delete filtering and must respect aggregate first-stage constraints such as `$geoNear`.
 - Strict reference plugin validates referenced documents and must resolve models through the active connection.
 - Transform plugin centralizes common document transformation and should not break Mongo update operators.
 
+Plugin checklist:
+
+- Paranoid aggregate injection must not come before `$geoNear`.
+- Strict reference checks must be connection-aware in multi-connection apps.
+- Transform behavior must preserve update operators such as `$set`, `$inc`, `$push`, and `$addToSet`.
+- Do not treat plugins as a replacement for app authorization or domain validation.
+

 Use `mongoDebug(collection, method, ...args)` when a Mongoose debug callback should be rendered as a Mongo shell-friendly command.

 ## Schema-First Entity Pattern
 
 Use `@Tables`, `@Column`, and `@PrimaryColumn` from `@joktec/mysql` when an entity should also act as the source class for mapped DTOs.
 
+The new decorators are not thin TypeORM aliases. They are schema-first wrappers that compose:
+
+- TypeORM column/primary column metadata.
+- `class-validator` behavior through `@joktec/utils` validators.
+- `class-transformer` expose/exclude behavior.
+- Swagger property metadata.
+
+When migrating old entities, remove duplicate property decorators from `typeorm`, `class-validator`, `class-transformer`, and Swagger when the wrapper option can represent the same behavior.
+
+## Legacy Decorator Migration
+
+Migrate a whole property at a time. Do not only replace `PrimaryGeneratedColumn`.
+
+Common mappings:
+
+| Legacy decorators | New decorator shape |
+| --- | --- |
+| `@PrimaryGeneratedColumn()` | `@PrimaryColumn('increment')` |
+| `@PrimaryGeneratedColumn('uuid')` | `@PrimaryColumn('uuid')` |
+| app-generated ordered UUID id | `@PrimaryColumn('uuidv7')` |
+| `@Column(...)` | `@Column(...)` from `@joktec/mysql` |
+| `@IsNotEmpty()` | `@Column({ required: true })` |
+| `@IsOptional()` | `@Column({ required: false })` or nullable TypeORM option when storage allows null |
+| `@IsEmail()` | `@Column({ isEmail: true })` |
+| `@IsMobilePhone()` | `@Column({ isPhone: true })` |
+| `@IsHexColor()` | `@Column({ isHexColor: true })` |
+| `@IsUrl()` | `@Column({ isUrl: true })` |
+| `@MinLength(n)` | `@Column({ minLength: n })` |
+| `@MaxLength(n)` | `@Column({ maxLength: n })` |
+| `@Min(n)` | `@Column({ min: n })` |
+| `@Max(n)` | `@Column({ max: n })` |
+| `@Expose()` | default behavior of `@Column(...)` |
+| `@Expose({ groups })` | `@Column({ groups })` |
+| `@Exclude({ toPlainOnly: true })` plus hidden Swagger | `@Column({ hidden: true })` |
+| `@ApiProperty(...)` | `@Column({ swagger: ... })`, or native options such as `example`, `comment`, `deprecated`, `min`, `max`, `minLength`, `maxLength` |
+
+Preserve decorators only when the wrapper cannot express them, by passing them through `decorators: [...]`.
+
+Migration checklist:
+
+- Replace TypeORM column decorators with wrappers from `@joktec/mysql`.
+- Remove duplicate `class-validator` decorators when equivalent wrapper options exist.
+- Remove duplicate `class-transformer` decorators when `hidden` or `groups` expresses the same behavior.
+- Move Swagger examples/descriptions/limits into wrapper options where possible.
+- Preserve custom validators/transforms only through `decorators: [...]`.
+- Keep database-specific options such as `type`, `length`, `nullable`, `unique`, `default`, `enum`, and `comment`.
+- Rebuild and run entity-related tests after migration because DTO metadata and TypeORM metadata both change.
+
+Example migration:
+
+```ts
+// Before
+@Column({ type: 'varchar', length: 255 })
+@IsEmail()
+@IsNotEmpty()
+@Expose()
+@ApiProperty({ example: 'user@example.com' })
+email!: string;
+
+// After
+@Column('varchar', {
+  length: 255,
+  required: true,
+  isEmail: true,
+  example: 'user@example.com',
+})
+email!: string;
+```
+
+For hidden fields:
+
+```ts
+// Before
+@Column({ type: 'varchar', length: 255 })
+@Exclude({ toPlainOnly: true })
+@ApiHideProperty()
+password!: string;
+
+// After
+@Column('varchar', { length: 255, hidden: true })
+password!: string;
+```
+
 ## Primary Keys
 
 - Prefer numeric auto-increment keys for write-heavy MySQL tables.
 - Use UUIDs when the app needs globally unique or public identifiers.
 - Prefer `uuidv7` over random UUIDs when the id participates in ordered indexes or cursor-like access.
+- When switching from UUID v4 to uuidv7, verify downstream code does not assume random UUID ordering.

 ## Module Setup
 
 Register entities with `MysqlModule.forRoot({ conId, models: [...] })`. Use `conId` for multiple DataSources.
 
+Best practice:
+
+- Register consumer app entities in an app repository module.
+- Keep `sync` disabled in request-facing processes unless the app intentionally owns schema sync.
+- Use one controlled owner process for schema sync/migration in multi-process deployments.
+- Preserve `conId` when resolving repositories or transaction-scoped managers.
+
 ## Repository Pattern
 
 Extend `MysqlRepo` and pass the entity class to the base constructor. Services can use `BaseService` when CRUD behavior follows the shared contract.
 
+Repository checklist:
+
+- Keep entity-specific SQL helpers in the app repository, not in controllers.
+- Use `MysqlRepo.qb()` and repository methods for standard reads so field validation, relation loading, soft delete, and pagination stay consistent.
+- Do not add new behavior to `MysqlFinder`; it is deprecated compatibility code.
+- Keep read/write operations in the same transaction context when the app passes a manager or query runner.
+
 ## Query Safety
 
 - Validate field paths against TypeORM metadata before interpolating SQL identifiers.
 - Use parameter binding for values.
 - Keep logical operators such as `$and` and `$or` grouped through QueryBuilder behavior.
 
+Anti-patterns:
+
+- Do not interpolate user-provided field names or relation names into SQL without TypeORM metadata validation.
+- Do not assume MySQL-only syntax when the package supports MySQL, MariaDB, and Postgres.
+- Do not use a relation/populate path unless it maps to entity metadata.
+
 ## Pagination
 
 `MysqlRepo.paginate` supports page, offset, and cursor responses. Cursor mode defaults to `createdAt` plus primary key columns. Custom cursor keys must be mapped columns.
 
+Cursor checklist:
+
+- Use `createdAt + primary key` as the default stable cursor.
+- Add primary keys as tie-breakers for non-unique cursor keys.
+- Ensure cursor keys are indexed for hot list endpoints.
+- Validate cursor payload shape before building SQL.
+- Treat cursor tokens as opaque; clients should not parse them.
+
 ## Transactions
 
 When using transaction-scoped operations, pass the manager or query runner through repository options so pre-read and write operations use the same context.
 
+Transaction checklist:
+
+- Use one manager/query runner for read-modify-write flows.
+- Rollback tests should prove that both pre-read dependent writes and writes are transaction-scoped.
+- Avoid mixing default repositories and transaction-scoped repositories in one operation.

+- Do not assume every adapter has identical method names; read each package README/source before calling.

 - Arango and BigQuery are separate client packages; verify the README/source before assuming repository-like CRUD support.
 - Use local package tests or consumer harnesses only when the target service stack is available.
 
+## Best Practices
+
+- Treat these packages as client wrappers unless source explicitly exposes a repository abstraction.
+- Keep index names, dataset names, query templates, and domain-specific projections in the consumer app.
+- Validate credentials and endpoints through config; never commit service account data.
+- Keep retries, timeouts, and debug logging visible in config.
+- Use provider-specific tests/mocks for package logic and live stack tests only when credentials/services are intentionally available.

+## Anti-Patterns
+
+- Do not apply MongoRepo/MysqlRepo assumptions to Elastic/Arango/BigQuery.
+- Do not introduce app schemas or business query policy into reusable database clients.
+- Do not claim support for a provider feature unless the package source or README shows it.

 ## Firebase
 
 Use the integration module and service to initialize Firebase Admin clients from validated config. Keep credential files local or environment-provided.
 
+Best practice:
+
+- Keep service account JSON, private keys, and project credentials out of git.
+- Prefer environment-specific config or ignored local credential files.
+- Keep notification/user/storage/product semantics in the consumer app.
+- Mock Firebase Admin SDK in package tests; use live credentials only in explicit integration environments.
+
 ## GPT
 
 Use the integration package for reusable GPT client setup. Keep prompt/business policy in the consumer app, not in the generic package.
 
+Best practice:
+
+- Keep prompts, model choice policy, tool schemas, and product safety rules in the consumer app.
+- Keep API keys in secret management or environment config.
+- Verify current package completeness before relying on advanced APIs; `@joktec/gpt` may lag behind provider SDK changes.
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+- Do not commit real credential files.
+- Do not encode product-specific prompts or notification logic into the reusable integration package.
+- Do not assume provider SDK behavior without checking package source and provider docs when APIs are unstable.

 ## HTTP
 
 Use `@joktec/http` for Axios-backed requests, uploads, proxy agent support, retry config, and metrics where exposed.
 
+Best practice:
+
+- Use the package service for outbound HTTP so retry/proxy/metrics behavior stays centralized.
+- Keep external endpoint URLs and credentials in runtime config.
+- Be careful with ESM/CommonJS import changes in HTTP/Axios ecosystem packages.
+- Test request behavior with mocks unless the test is an explicit consumer integration scenario.

 ## File
 
 Use `@joktec/file` for shared file helpers and classification behavior instead of duplicating local utility code.
 
+Best practice:
+
+- Keep filesystem paths and temporary directories environment-specific.
+- Validate upload/file inputs before passing them into business workflows.
+- Use package helpers for MIME/classification behavior when consistency matters across services.
+
 ## Alert

+## Anti-Patterns
+
+- Do not scatter raw Axios instances across the app when `@joktec/http` should own shared behavior.
+- Do not commit webhook URLs or proxy credentials.
+- Do not use tool packages as hidden places for app business rules.
