z77 Project Skeleton
====================

[](#z77-project-skeleton)

Starter template for a project built on the [z77 framework](https://github.com/z77-ch/z77-framework).

Prerequisites
-------------

[](#prerequisites)

- **PHP ≥ 8.2 (CLI)** with the `mbstring`, `fileinfo` and `gd` extensions enabled — the installer and the site run on it (`apcu` is optional but recommended: faster cache)
- **Composer 2.x**

That's all. Node.js is only needed if you edit the framework's SCSS — see [dev-environment](https://github.com/z77-ch/z77-framework/blob/main/docs/01-handbook/dev-environment.md)for the full toolchain.

Start a project
---------------

[](#start-a-project)

**Without git** — the simplest way:

```
composer create-project z77/skeleton my-project
cd my-project
composer dev        # serves http://localhost:8080 from public/
```

**With git** — use this repo as a GitHub template:

1. Click **Use this template** → create your repository, then clone it.
2. `composer install`
3. `composer dev`

Either way, the installer creates `public/`, `config/`, `data/`, `override/`, `lib/`, `logs/` and seeds a runnable starter site. You don't create these by hand.

You write your project under `override/z77/…`; the framework packages stay untouched in `vendor/` and are updated with `composer update`.

What's in this template
-----------------------

[](#whats-in-this-template)

Only `composer.json`. Everything else is generated by the installer on the first `composer install`. Version-control your project however you like — this template deliberately ships **no `.gitignore`**: what you commit is your call.

AI-assisted development
-----------------------

[](#ai-assisted-development)

During install you are asked whether to add **`z77/docs`** — the complete, AI-optimized framework documentation — as a dev dependency. Say yes (default) and it lands in `vendor/z77/docs`, version-matched to the framework and excluded from `--no-dev`deploys. The installer also seeds a project **`CLAUDE.md`** pointing your AI assistant (e.g. Claude Code) at the docs and the override rules: open the project, ask *"what do we have here?"*, and it can start working. Skipped it? `composer require --dev z77/docs` adds it any time.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

The full handbook lives in the framework repo: [z77-ch/z77-framework/docs](https://github.com/z77-ch/z77-framework/tree/main/docs). Good first reads: [architecture](https://github.com/z77-ch/z77-framework/blob/main/docs/01-handbook/architecture.md)· [create-page](https://github.com/z77-ch/z77-framework/blob/main/docs/01-handbook/create-page.md)· [create-module](https://github.com/z77-ch/z77-framework/blob/main/docs/01-handbook/create-module.md)
