Reinier van der Leer 4cd5da678d refactor(claude): Split autogpt_platform/CLAUDE.md into project-specific files (#11788)
Split `autogpt_platform/CLAUDE.md` into project-specific files, to make
the scope of the instructions clearer.

Also, some minor improvements:

- Change references to other Markdown files to @file/path.md syntax that
Claude recognizes
- Update ambiguous/incorrect/outdated instructions
- Remove trailing slashes
- Fix broken file path references in other docs (including comments)

# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Repository Overview
AutoGPT Platform is a monorepo containing:
- **Backend** (`backend`): Python FastAPI server with async support
- **Frontend** (`frontend`): Next.js React application
- **Shared Libraries** (`autogpt_libs`): Common Python utilities
## Component Documentation
- **Backend**: See @backend/CLAUDE.md for backend-specific commands, architecture, and development tasks
- **Frontend**: See @frontend/CLAUDE.md for frontend-specific commands, architecture, and development patterns
## Key Concepts
1. **Agent Graphs**: Workflow definitions stored as JSON, executed by the backend
2. **Blocks**: Reusable components in `backend/backend/blocks/` that perform specific tasks
3. **Integrations**: OAuth and API connections stored per user
4. **Store**: Marketplace for sharing agent templates
5. **Virus Scanning**: ClamAV integration for file upload security
### Environment Configuration
#### Configuration Files
- **Backend**: `backend/.env.default` (defaults) → `backend/.env` (user overrides)
- **Frontend**: `frontend/.env.default` (defaults) → `frontend/.env` (user overrides)
- **Platform**: `.env.default` (Supabase/shared defaults) → `.env` (user overrides)
#### Docker Environment Loading Order
1. `.env.default` files provide base configuration (tracked in git)
2. `.env` files provide user-specific overrides (gitignored)
3. Docker Compose `environment:` sections provide service-specific overrides
4. Shell environment variables have highest precedence
#### Key Points
- All services use hardcoded defaults in docker-compose files (no `${VARIABLE}` substitutions)
- The `env_file` directive loads variables INTO containers at runtime
- Backend/Frontend services use YAML anchors for consistent configuration
- Supabase services (`db/docker/docker-compose.yml`) follow the same pattern
### Creating Pull Requests
- Create the PR against the `dev` branch of the repository.
- Ensure the branch name is descriptive (e.g., `feature/add-new-block`)
- Use conventional commit messages (see below)
- Fill out the .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md template as the PR description
- Run the github pre-commit hooks to ensure code quality.
### Reviewing/Revising Pull Requests
- When the user runs /pr-comments or tries to fetch them, also run gh api /repos/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/pulls/[issuenum]/reviews to get the reviews
- Use gh api /repos/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/pulls/[issuenum]/reviews/[review_id]/comments to get the review contents
- Use gh api /repos/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/issues/9924/comments to get the pr specific comments
### Conventional Commits
Use this format for commit messages and Pull Request titles:
**Conventional Commit Types:**
- `feat`: Introduces a new feature to the codebase
- `fix`: Patches a bug in the codebase
- `refactor`: Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature; also applies to removing features
- `ci`: Changes to CI configuration
- `docs`: Documentation-only changes
- `dx`: Improvements to the developer experience
**Recommended Base Scopes:**
- `platform`: Changes affecting both frontend and backend
- `frontend`
- `backend`
- `infra`
- `blocks`: Modifications/additions of individual blocks
**Subscope Examples:**
- `backend/executor`
- `backend/db`
- `frontend/builder` (includes changes to the block UI component)
- `infra/prod`
Use these scopes and subscopes for clarity and consistency in commit messages.
