Layer Responsibilities

• Domain: Core business entities and rules (no dependencies)
• Application: Business logic, interfaces, and DTOs
• Infrastructure: External concerns (database, email, file system)
• Server.UI: Blazor components and user interface

🤖 AI-Powered Development

This project is optimized for AI-assisted development with comprehensive support for modern AI coding tools.

🎯 Cursor AI Integration

The project includes extensive Cursor Rules that provide:

• Architecture Guidelines: Enforce Clean Architecture principles
• Coding Standards: Consistent patterns and best practices
• Component Templates: Pre-configured Blazor component structures
• Security Patterns: Built-in security implementation guides

🚀 Development Workflow

Enhanced productivity through AI-powered development:

• Intelligent Code Generation: Context-aware suggestions following project patterns
• Automatic Layer Compliance: AI ensures proper dependency flow
• Pattern Recognition: Consistent implementation across features
• Smart Refactoring: Architecture-aware code improvements

💡 Getting Started with AI Development

1. Install Cursor: Download from cursor.sh
2. Load the Project: Open the repository in Cursor
3. Enable Rules: The AI will automatically use the configured rules
4. Start Coding: Use natural language to describe features

Example AI Prompts:

"Create a new Product entity with CRUD operations following Clean Architecture"
"Add user authentication to the Orders page"
"Implement caching for the CustomerService"
