## 1. Current Bottlenecks

Even with the platform, here's where time is still spent on each new product:

| Task                                                              | Current Time         | Why It's Slow                                           |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Repo scaffolding (structure, configs, AGENTS.md)                  | 1–2 hours            | Manual copy-paste from existing product, then customize |
| Wiring `src/lib/` files (cosmos, auth, config, client, telemetry) | 1–2 hours            | Same 6 files copied and tweaked every time              |
| Backend modules (types → repo → routes → test)                    | 2–4 hours per module | Boilerplate pattern is identical, only schemas differ   |
| Offline sync queue                                                | 2–3 hours            | Copied and adapted from product to product              |
| Native app auth + telemetry wiring                                | 3–4 hours            | Same Swift/Kotlin files rewritten each time             |
| User dashboard (if needed)                                        | 4–6 hours            | Same Next.js shell with auth, nav, billing pages        |
| AGENTS.md creation                                                | 30–60 minutes        | Repetitive structure, product-specific values differ    |
| Design token setup                                                | 1 hour               | JSON → generator → theme files                          |
| Error/not-found/middleware pages                                  | 30 minutes           | Literally identical across all dashboards               |

**Total repeated work per product: ~15–25 hours.**

Below are concrete ideas to eliminate nearly all of it.

## 2. Tier 1 — CLI Scaffolding (saves Day 0–1)

### What

A CLI tool (`npx @bytelyst/create-app` or `pnpm dlx @bytelyst/create-app`) that:

1. Asks a few questions (product name, ID, bundle ID, platforms, features needed)
2. Generates the entire repo structure
3. Wires all `src/lib/` files with correct product ID
4. Creates `.env.example` with all required vars
5. Generates AGENTS.md from the template + canonical pointer to `agent-behavior-guidelines.md`
6. Creates `package.json` with correct `file:` refs
7. Initializes git, creates first commit

### Scope

✓ Generated web/ with Next.js 16 + @bytelyst/* wiring
✓ Generated ios/ scaffold with TelemetryService + PlatformSyncManager
✓ Generated AGENTS.md (+ derived .github/copilot-instructions.md, .aider.conf.yml, .editorconfig)
✓ Registered product "focuspal" in platform-service
✓ Seeded default feature flags for focuspal
✓ Added to workspace backup scripts
✓ First commit: "chore: scaffold FocusPal product"

Next steps:
  cd learning_ai_focuspal/web && npm install && npm run dev
```

### Impact

- **Before:** 3–4 hours of manual scaffolding
- **After:** 5 minutes interactive CLI → fully wired repo

## 3. Tier 2 — Sync Engine as a Package (saves Day 3)

### The Problem

Every product re-implements the same sync pattern:

| Product    | Sync Files                                       | Lines |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ----- |
| ChronoMind | `platform-sync.ts`, `use-sync.ts`                | ~400  |
| NomGap     | `offline-queue.ts`, sync in `fasting-store.ts`   | ~250  |
| MindLyst   | `PlatformSyncManager.kt`, `PlatformApiClient.kt` | ~300  |

All three do the same thing: local-first writes → background sync → offline queue → conflict detection → pull remote.

### The Solution: `@bytelyst/sync`

A new shared package that provides a configurable sync engine:

```typescript
// @bytelyst/sync — usage in a product
import { createSyncEngine } from '@bytelyst/sync';

const sync = createSyncEngine({
  productId: 'focuspal',
  entities: {
    tasks: {
      endpoint: '/tasks',
      partitionKey: 'userId',
      conflictStrategy: 'server-wins', // or 'client-wins', 'manual'
    },
    projects: {
      endpoint: '/projects',
      partitionKey: 'userId',
      conflictStrategy: 'last-write-wins',
    },
  },
  storage: localStorage, // or MMKV, AsyncStorage
  apiClient: platformClient, // from @bytelyst/api-client
  onConflict: (local, remote) => {
    /* custom merge */
  },
});

// In your store:
sync.push('tasks', newTask); // Enqueues for sync
sync.delete('tasks', taskId);
await sync.pull(); // Fetch remote changes
await sync.fullSync(); // Bidirectional sync
sync.getQueueLength(); // Pending changes count
```

### What It Handles

- **Offline queue** with MMKV/localStorage/AsyncStorage persistence
- **Retry with exponential backoff** (max 5 attempts per item)
- **Conflict detection** — timestamp comparison, configurable strategy
- **Bidirectional pull/push** — pull remote first, then push local
- **Queue flush on reconnect** — `navigator.onLine` or app foreground event
- **Deduplication** — collapse multiple updates to same entity
- **Telemetry** — auto-tracks sync success/failure/conflicts via `@bytelyst/telemetry-client`

### Native Equivalents

- **Swift:** `SyncEngine` class with same API, using `UserDefaults` for queue
- **Kotlin:** `SyncEngine` class with same API, using `SharedPreferences` for queue

### Impact

- **Before:** 4–6 hours copying and adapting sync code per product
- **After:** `npm install @bytelyst/sync`, 20 lines of config

---

## 4. Tier 3 — Module Generator (saves Day 2)

### The Problem

Every platform-service module follows the exact same structure:

```
modules/<name>/
├── types.ts        # Zod schema + interface
├── repository.ts   # Cosmos CRUD (list, get, create, update, delete)
├── routes.ts       # Fastify endpoints
└── <name>.test.ts  # Vitest tests
```

Yet we write these by hand every time, copy-pasting from another module and renaming.

### The Solution: Schema-Driven Code Generation

A generator script in the platform-service that reads a schema definition and emits all 4 files:

```bash
$ pnpm gen:module --name tasks --fields "title:string,status:enum(pending,active,done),priority:number,dueAt:date?" --partition userId
```

Generates:

**types.ts:**

```typescript
import { z } from 'zod';

export const TaskStatusEnum = z.enum(['pending', 'active', 'done']);
export type TaskStatus = z.infer<typeof TaskStatusEnum>;

export interface TaskDoc {
  id: string;
  productId: string;
  userId: string;
  title: string;
  status: TaskStatus;
  priority: number;
  dueAt?: string;
  createdAt: string;
  updatedAt: string;
}

export const CreateTaskSchema = z.object({
  title: z.string().min(1).max(500),
  status: TaskStatusEnum.default('pending'),
  priority: z.number().int().min(0).max(10).default(5),
  dueAt: z.string().datetime().optional(),
});

export const UpdateTaskSchema = CreateTaskSchema.partial();
```

**repository.ts, routes.ts, and test file** — all generated with the correct entity name, partition key, and field references.

The generator also:

- Adds the Cosmos container to `cosmos-init.ts`
- Registers the routes in `server.ts`
- Adds the test file

### Impact

- **Before:** 2–4 hours per module (hand-writing 4 files, ~150–250 lines each)
- **After:** One command, 5 seconds. Then customize the generated code as needed.

---

## 5. Tier 4 — Shared Auth UI Kit (saves Day 1)

### The Problem

Every product builds the same auth pages:

| Page                   | ChronoMind | NomGap     | MindLyst   | LysnrAI    |
| ---------------------- | ---------- | ---------- | ---------- | ---------- |
| Login                  | ✅ rebuilt | ✅ rebuilt | ✅ rebuilt | ✅ rebuilt |
| Register               | ✅ rebuilt | ✅ rebuilt | ✅ rebuilt | ✅ rebuilt |
| Forgot Password        | ✅ rebuilt | ✅ rebuilt | ✅ rebuilt | ✅ rebuilt |
| SSO (Google/Microsoft) | partial    | —          | —          | ✅ rebuilt |
| Onboarding flow        | ✅ custom  | ✅ custom  | ✅ custom  | ✅ custom  |

The logic is identical — only colors and copy differ.

### The Solution: `@bytelyst/auth-ui`

A shared React component library for auth flows:

```tsx
// In your app's login page
import { LoginPage, RegisterPage, ForgotPasswordPage } from '@bytelyst/auth-ui';

export default function Login() {
  return (
    <LoginPage
      productName="FocusPal"
      logo="/logo.svg"
      theme="dark" // uses your product's design tokens
      ssoProviders={['google']} // optional SSO buttons
      onSuccess={() => router.push('/dashboard')}
    />
  );
}
```

Components included:

- `<LoginPage />` — email/password + SSO buttons + "forgot password" link
- `<RegisterPage />` — name, email, password, confirm, terms checkbox
- `<ForgotPasswordPage />` — email input → reset link sent
- `<ResetPasswordPage />` — new password form (token from URL)
- `<VerifyEmailPage />` — verification code input
- `<OnboardingShell />` — multi-step wizard container (you provide the step content)

All pre-wired to `@bytelyst/auth-client` under the hood.

### Native Equivalents

- **SwiftUI:** `AuthFlowView(config:)` — same flows, native UI
- **Compose:** `AuthScreen(config)` — Material 3 themed

### Impact

- **Before:** 4–6 hours building auth pages per product
- **After:** Import, customize props, done in 30 minutes

---

## 6. Tier 5 — Universal User Dashboard Shell (saves Day 3)

### The Problem

Every product with a user-facing portal rebuilds the same shell:

- Sidebar/nav with route links
- User profile page
- Billing/subscription page
- Settings/preferences page
- API key management (if applicable)
- Notification preferences

Only the product-specific pages differ.

### The Solution: `@bytelyst/dashboard-shell`

A configurable Next.js layout package that provides the universal pages out of the box:

```tsx
// app/layout.tsx
import { DashboardShell } from '@bytelyst/dashboard-shell';

export default function Layout({ children }) {
  return (
    <DashboardShell
      productName="FocusPal"
      logo="/logo.svg"
      navItems={[
        { label: 'Dashboard', href: '/dashboard', icon: 'home' },
        { label: 'Tasks', href: '/tasks', icon: 'check-square' },
        // ... your product-specific pages
      ]}
      features={{
        billing: true, // adds /billing page
        profile: true, // adds /profile page
        settings: true, // adds /settings page
        notifications: true, // adds /notifications preferences
        apiKeys: false, // no API key management
      }}
    >
      {children}
    </DashboardShell>
  );
}
```

The shell provides:

- Responsive sidebar layout with mobile hamburger
- Built-in pages: Profile, Billing (Stripe portal link), Settings, Notifications
- Theme toggle (dark/light)
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Breadcrumbs
- User avatar + dropdown menu
- All pre-wired to `@bytelyst/auth-client` and `@bytelyst/api-client`

### Impact

- **Before:** 4–6 hours building the dashboard shell + universal pages
- **After:** 1 import + config object. Only build your product-specific pages.

---

## 7. Tier 6 — Native SDKs (saves Day 4)

### The Problem

Each native app (iOS/Android) re-implements:

1. `TelemetryService` — event batching, flush, install ID persistence
2. `PlatformApiClient` — auth header injection, retry, timeout
3. `PlatformSyncManager` — offline queue, pull/push, conflict detection
4. `AuthManager` — login, register, token storage, refresh
5. `FeatureFlagManager` — polling, local cache, override support

These are copied between ChronoMind, MindLyst, NomGap, and LysnrAI with minor tweaks.

### The Solution: Swift Package + Kotlin Library

**Swift Package: `ByteLystSDK`**

```swift
// Package.swift dependency
.package(url: "https://github.com/bytelyst/bytelyst-ios-sdk", from: "1.0.0")

// In your app
import ByteLystSDK

let platform = ByteLystPlatform(
    productId: "focuspal",
    baseUrl: "https://api.focuspal.app",
    authStorage: KeychainTokenStorage()
)

// Auth
try await platform.auth.login(email: email, password: password)

// Telemetry
platform.telemetry.track("screen_view", module: "tasks", name: "task_list")

// Feature flags
if platform.flags.isEnabled("new_task_ui") { ... }

// Sync
platform.sync.register(entity: "tasks", endpoint: "/tasks")
platform.sync.push(entity: "tasks", data: taskJSON)
await platform.sync.fullSync()
```

**Kotlin Library: `com.bytelyst.sdk`**

Same API surface, published to local Maven or GitHub Packages.

### Impact

- **Before:** 3–4 hours copying and adapting native files per app
- **After:** One dependency, one init call

---

## 8. Tier 7 — Product Manifest (saves Day 0)

### The Idea

A single `product.json` file that defines everything about a product. All tooling reads from it:

```json
{
  "id": "focuspal",
  "name": "FocusPal",
  "bundleId": "com.saravana.focuspal",
  "domain": "focuspal.app",
  "description": "AI-powered focus and task management",

  "platforms": ["web", "ios", "android"],

  "theme": {
    "accentPrimary": "#7C5CFF",
    "accentSecondary": "#FF6B8A",
    "bgCanvas": "#06070A",
    "surfaceCard": "#121725"
  },

  "features": {
    "auth": true,
    "billing": true,
    "telemetry": true,
    "featureFlags": true,
    "offlineSync": true,
    "pushNotifications": true,
    "publicRoadmap": true
  },

  "cosmos": {
    "containers": {
      "tasks": { "partitionKeyPath": "/userId" },
      "projects": { "partitionKeyPath": "/userId" },
      "focus_sessions": { "partitionKeyPath": "/userId" }
    }
  },

  "defaultFlags": [
    { "key": "focuspal_new_task_ui", "enabled": false, "description": "New task creation UI" },
    { "key": "focuspal_ai_suggestions", "enabled": true, "description": "AI task suggestions" }
  ],

  "ports": {
    "web": 3060,
    "userDashboard": 3062
  }
}
```

This manifest is consumed by:

- **CLI scaffolder** — generates repo from manifest
- **Platform-service** — auto-registers product, containers, flags on startup
- **Design tokens generator** — produces theme files from `theme` block
- **AGENTS.md generator** — populates product identity section
- **CI/CD** — knows which platforms to build
- **Docker compose** — assigns ports
- **Backup scripts** — discovers repos

### Impact

- **Before:** Product identity scattered across 10+ files
- **After:** Single source of truth; everything derived from it

---

## 9. Tier 8 — Declarative Backend Modules

### The Vision

Instead of writing `types.ts → repository.ts → routes.ts → test.ts` for every entity, define modules declaratively:

```yaml
# modules/tasks.module.yaml
name: tasks
container: tasks
partitionKey: /userId

fields:
  title:
    type: string
    min: 1
    max: 500
    required: true
  status:
    type: enum
    values: [pending, active, completed, archived]
    default: pending
  priority:
    type: integer
    min: 0
    max: 10
    default: 5
  dueAt:
    type: datetime
    optional: true
  tags:
    type: string[]
    optional: true

endpoints:
  list:
    method: GET
    path: /tasks
    auth: user
    filter: [status, priority]
    sort: [createdAt, dueAt, priority]
    pagination: true

  get:
    method: GET
    path: /tasks/:id
    auth: user

  create:
    method: POST
    path: /tasks
    auth: user

  update:
    method: PATCH
    path: /tasks/:id
    auth: user

  delete:
    method: DELETE
    path: /tasks/:id
    auth: user

  # Custom endpoint
  bulk-complete:
    method: POST
    path: /tasks/bulk-complete
    auth: user
    custom: true # generates stub for manual implementation
```

A runtime module loader reads these YAML files and generates Fastify routes at startup. Standard CRUD is fully automatic; custom endpoints get generated stubs.

### Hybrid Approach

For simpler CRUD modules, the YAML approach eliminates code entirely. For complex modules (auth, billing, telemetry), hand-written code remains. This is the same pattern used by tools like Prisma, Hasura, or Strapi — but tailored to our Fastify + Cosmos stack.

### Impact

- **Before:** 2–4 hours per CRUD module
- **After:** Write a YAML file (10 minutes). Zero TypeScript for standard CRUD.

---

## 10. Tier 9 — Platform Improvements (ongoing)

### 10.1 Auto-Registration on First Request

Instead of manually registering containers, feature flags, and product identity — detect new `productId` values at runtime and auto-provision:

```
First request with productId: "focuspal" →
  1. Create product doc if not exists
  2. Create Cosmos containers from manifest
  3. Seed default feature flags
  4. Log to audit
```

### 10.2 Shared Error/Loading/NotFound Components

Every dashboard currently has its own `error.tsx`, `not-found.tsx`, and loading states. These are identical. Publish them in a shared package:

```tsx
// @bytelyst/dashboard-components
export {
  ErrorPage,
  NotFoundPage,
  LoadingSpinner,
  EmptyState,
} from '@bytelyst/dashboard-components';
```

### 10.3 API Route Template Generator

Next.js API routes follow a pattern too. Generate them:

```bash
$ npx @bytelyst/gen:api-route --name tasks --methods GET,POST,PATCH,DELETE
# → Generates src/app/api/tasks/route.ts and src/app/api/tasks/[id]/route.ts
```

### 10.4 Webhook/Event Subscription Auto-Wiring

When a product registers interest in events (e.g., `user.created`, `subscription.updated`), the platform auto-delivers them via the event bus — no manual wiring.

### 10.5 Multi-Product Telemetry Dashboard

The current telemetry viewer shows one product at a time. A cross-product view would show:

- Total events/day across all products
- Error rates per product
- Feature adoption comparison
- User overlap (same user across products)

### 10.6 Shared Onboarding Analytics

Track onboarding funnel (step 1 → step 2 → ... → complete) as a platform feature, not per-product code:

```typescript
platform.onboarding.trackStep('focuspal', userId, 'welcome', 1);
platform.onboarding.trackStep('focuspal', userId, 'select_plan', 2);
platform.onboarding.trackComplete('focuspal', userId);
```

Admin dashboard shows conversion funnels per product automatically.

### 10.7 Pre-Built Stripe Checkout Flow

Instead of each product building Stripe checkout integration, provide a universal checkout endpoint:

```
POST /billing/checkout
{
  "productId": "focuspal",
  "userId": "user_123",
  "priceId": "price_abc",
  "successUrl": "https://focuspal.app/billing?success=true",
  "cancelUrl": "https://focuspal.app/billing"
}
→ Returns Stripe checkout session URL
```

Client just redirects — no Stripe SDK needed on the client.

---

## 11. Revised Timeline — The 8-Hour MVP

With the accelerators above implemented, here's what a new product launch looks like:

| Time          | Task                                     | How                                                 |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **0:00–0:15** | Create product manifest (`product.json`) | Write 40 lines of JSON                              |
| **0:15–0:30** | Run CLI scaffolder                       | `npx @bytelyst/create-app --from product.json`      |

## Summary

The current platform already provides ~85% reduction in time-to-MVP compared to building from scratch. With the accelerators proposed above:

| Metric                       | Current             | After Phase 1–2        | After Phase 3–4      |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------- | ---------------------- | -------------------- |
| **Time to MVP**              | 3–5 days            | 1–2 days               | **4–8 hours**        |
| **Lines you write**          | ~3,000              | ~1,500                 | **~500**             |
| **Files you create**         | ~40                 | ~20                    | **~10**              |
| **Backend modules (manual)** | Hand-written        | Generated + customized | **Declarative YAML** |
| **Auth UI**                  | Rebuilt per product | Shared components      | Shared components    |
| **Sync engine**              | Copied per product  | Shared package         | Shared package       |
| **Native wiring**            | Copied per product  | Native SDK             | Native SDK           |

The key insight: **you should only write code that is unique to your product.** Everything else — auth, billing, telemetry, sync, dashboards, error pages, CRUD modules, native wiring — should be a platform capability that you configure, not code you write.
