       This document outlines the complete fullstack architecture for {{project_name}}, including backend systems, frontend implementation, and their integration. It serves as the single source of truth for AI-driven development, ensuring consistency across the entire technology stack.

       This unified approach combines what would traditionally be separate backend and frontend architecture documents, streamlining the development process for modern fullstack applications where these concerns are increasingly intertwined.

         title: Starter Template or Existing Project
         instruction: |
           Before proceeding with architecture design, check if the project is based on any starter templates or existing codebases:
-          
+
           1. Review the PRD and other documents for mentions of:
           - Fullstack starter templates (e.g., T3 Stack, MEAN/MERN starters, Django + React templates)
           - Monorepo templates (e.g., Nx, Turborepo starters)
           - Platform-specific starters (e.g., Vercel templates, AWS Amplify starters)
           - Existing projects being extended or cloned
-          
+
           2. If starter templates or existing projects are mentioned:
           - Ask the user to provide access (links, repos, or files)
           - Analyze to understand pre-configured choices and constraints
           - Note any architectural decisions already made
           - Identify what can be modified vs what must be retained
-          
+
           3. If no starter is mentioned but this is greenfield:
           - Suggest appropriate fullstack starters based on tech preferences
           - Consider platform-specific options (Vercel, AWS, etc.)
           - Let user decide whether to use one
-          
+
           4. Document the decision and any constraints it imposes
-

           1. Consider common patterns (not an exhaustive list, use your own best judgement and search the web as needed for emerging trends):
           - **Vercel + Supabase**: For rapid development with Next.js, built-in auth/storage
