+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+node-mac-recorder is a Node.js native addon that provides macOS screen recording capabilities using AVFoundation. The package allows recording of full screens, specific windows, or custom areas, with support for multi-display setups, audio capture, and cursor tracking.
+
+## Build System & Commands
+
+### Building the Native Module
+```bash
+npm run build      # Build the native module using node-gyp
+npm run rebuild    # Clean rebuild of the native module
+npm run clean      # Clean build artifacts
+npm install        # Runs install.js which builds the module automatically
+```
+
+### Testing
+```bash
+npm test           # Run the main test suite (test.js)
+node cursor-test.js # Test cursor tracking functionality only
+node test.js       # Run comprehensive API tests
+```
+
+### Development
+The package uses node-gyp for building the native C++/Objective-C module. Requires:
+- macOS 10.15+ (Catalina or later)
+- Xcode Command Line Tools
+- Node.js 14+
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+**Main Entry Point**
+- `index.js` - Main MacRecorder class (EventEmitter-based)
+- Handles all high-level recording operations and coordinate transformations
+
+**Native Module** (`src/`)
+- `mac_recorder.mm` - Main native module entry point and N-API bindings
+- `screen_capture.mm` - AVFoundation-based screen/window recording
+- `audio_capture.mm` - Audio device enumeration and capture
+- `cursor_tracker.mm` - Real-time cursor position and event tracking
+
+**Build Configuration**
+- `binding.gyp` - Native module build configuration
+- Links against AVFoundation, ScreenCaptureKit, AppKit, and other macOS frameworks
+
+### Key Features
+
+1. **Multi-Display Support**: Automatic display detection and coordinate conversion
+2. **Window Recording**: Smart window detection with thumbnail generation
+3. **Audio Control**: Separate microphone and system audio controls with device selection
+4. **Cursor Tracking**: Real-time cursor position, type, and click event capture
+5. **Permission Management**: Built-in macOS permission checking and requesting
+
+### Coordinate System Handling
+
+The package handles complex multi-display coordinate transformations:
+- Global macOS coordinates (can be negative for secondary displays)
+- Display-relative coordinates (always positive, 0-based)
+- Automatic window-to-display mapping for recording
+
+## API Structure
+
+### Main Class Methods
+- `startRecording(outputPath, options)` - Begin screen/window recording
+- `stopRecording()` - Stop recording and finalize video file
+- `getWindows()` - List all recordable application windows
+- `getDisplays()` - Get all available displays with metadata
+- `getAudioDevices()` - Enumerate available audio input devices
+- `checkPermissions()` - Verify macOS recording permissions
+
+### Cursor Tracking
+- `startCursorCapture(filepath)` - Begin real-time cursor tracking to JSON
+- `stopCursorCapture()` - Stop tracking and close output file
+- `getCursorPosition()` - Get current cursor position and state
+
+### Thumbnails
+- `getWindowThumbnail(windowId, options)` - Capture window preview image
+- `getDisplayThumbnail(displayId, options)` - Capture display preview image
+
+## Development Notes
+
+### Testing Strategy
+- Use `npm test` for full API validation
+- `cursor-test.js` for testing cursor tracking specifically
+- Test files create output in `test-output/` directory
+
+### Common Development Patterns
+- All recording operations are Promise-based
+- Event emission for recording state changes (`started`, `stopped`, `completed`)
+- Automatic permission checking before operations
+- Error handling with descriptive messages for permission issues
+
+### Platform Requirements
+- macOS only (enforced in install.js)
+- Native module compilation required on install
+- Requires screen recording and accessibility permissions
+
+### File Outputs
+- Video recordings: `.mov` format (H.264/AAC)
+- Cursor data: JSON format with timestamped events
+- Thumbnails: Base64-encoded PNG data URIs
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Issues
+1. Ensure Xcode Command Line Tools: `xcode-select --install`
+2. Clean rebuild: `npm run clean && npm run build`
+3. Check Node.js version compatibility (14+)
+
+### Runtime Issues
+1. Permission failures: Check System Preferences > Security & Privacy
+2. Recording failures: Verify target windows/displays are accessible
+3. Audio issues: Check audio device availability and permissions
+
+### Native Module Loading
+The module tries loading from `build/Release/` first, then falls back to `build/Debug/` with helpful error messages if neither exists.
