+CRITICAL RULES:
+- Every claim must be grounded in the actual files and code samples provided. No generic filler.
+- Reference specific file paths (e.g. \`src/lib/auth.ts\`, \`app/api/users/route.ts\`) wherever possible.
+- If you cannot infer something from the provided code, omit that bullet entirely — do NOT guess or write placeholders.
+- Architecture Notes must name real functions, classes, modules, or patterns you actually observed, not vague descriptions.
+- Rules for AI must reflect patterns actually present in the source — not generic best practices.

 ## 🧱 Tech Stack
-(bullet list of every detected technology with brief description of its role in THIS project)
+- List each technology and its specific role in this project (e.g. "Prisma — ORM used in \`src/db/\` for all database queries").
+
+## 🚀 Key Files
+- List the 5–8 most important files a new developer should read first, with one sentence explaining what each does. Use exact paths from the file tree.
 
-## 📁 Folder Conventions
-(bullet list explaining what each main folder/directory is responsible for, inferred from the file tree and source)
+## 📁 Folder Structure
+- Explain what each top-level folder is responsible for, inferred from the actual file tree.
 
-## 🔧 Available Scripts
-(bullet list of scripts and what they actually do in context)
+## 🔧 Scripts
+- Explain what each script actually does in the context of this project.

 ## 🏗️ Architecture Notes
-(this is the most valuable section — write 8-15 detailed bullet points explaining:
-  - how data flows through the app
-  - where auth/session logic lives
-  - how the database/ORM is used
-  - how routing works
-  - key patterns or abstractions in the codebase
-  - anything a new developer MUST know before coding)
+Write 8–15 bullet points. Each bullet must:
+- Name the specific file(s) or function(s) involved (e.g. "Auth flow starts in \`middleware.ts\`, validates JWT via \`src/lib/auth.ts:verifyToken()\`")
+- Describe a concrete data flow, pattern, or constraint — not a vague summary
+- Cover: request lifecycle, data access layer, auth/session, key abstractions, inter-module dependencies, anything surprising
 
 ## 🤖 Rules for AI
-(bullet list of 8-12 concrete rules the AI assistant must follow when generating code for THIS specific project — based on the actual patterns observed in the source)
+Write 8–12 rules based on patterns you actually observed in the code. Example format:
+- "Always use the \`db\` instance from \`src/lib/db.ts\` — never import Prisma directly"
+- "API routes live in \`app/api/\` and must use the response helper from \`src/lib/response.ts\`"
 
 ## 🚫 Never Do
-(bullet list of 6-10 things an AI must NEVER do in this project — inferred from the stack and code style)
+Write 6–10 prohibitions inferred from the stack and code style. Be specific, not generic.
 
-## 🔐 Security & Environment
-(notes about environment variables, secrets, auth patterns seen in the code)
+## 🔐 Environment & Security
+- List environment variables referenced in the code (exact names if found).
+- Note any auth patterns, token handling, or secrets management observed.
