+# Gitzone CLI - Development Hints
+
+- the cli of the git.zone project.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+Gitzone CLI (`@git.zone/cli`) is a comprehensive toolbelt for streamlining local development cycles. It provides utilities for:
+
+- Project initialization and templating (via smartscaf)
+- Code formatting and standardization
+- Version control and commit management
+- Docker and CI/CD integration
+- Meta project management
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Structure
+
+- Main CLI entry: `cli.ts` / `cli.child.ts`
+- Modular architecture with separate modules in `ts/mod_*` directories
+- Each module handles specific functionality (format, commit, docker, etc.)
+- Extensive use of plugins pattern via `plugins.ts` files
+
+### Configuration Management
+
+- Uses `npmextra.json` for all tool configuration
+- Configuration stored under `gitzone` key in npmextra
+- No separate `.gitzonerc` file - everything in npmextra.json
+- Project type and module metadata also stored in npmextra
+
+### Format Module (`mod_format`) - SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCED
+
+The format module is responsible for project standardization:
+
+#### Current Modules:
+
+1. **cleanup** - Removes obsolete files (yarn.lock, tslint.json, etc.)
+2. **copy** - File copying with glob patterns (fully implemented)
+3. **gitignore** - Creates/updates .gitignore from templates
+4. **license** - Checks dependency licenses for compatibility
+5. **npmextra** - Manages project metadata and configuration
+6. **packagejson** - Formats and updates package.json
+7. **prettier** - Applies code formatting with batching
+8. **readme** - Ensures readme files exist
+9. **templates** - Updates project templates based on type
+10. **tsconfig** - Formats TypeScript configuration
+
+#### Execution Order (Dependency-Based):
+
+- Modules are now executed in parallel groups based on dependencies
+- Independent modules run concurrently for better performance
+- Dependency analyzer ensures correct execution order
+
+### New Architecture Features
+
+1. **BaseFormatter Pattern**: All formatters extend abstract BaseFormatter class
+2. **FormatContext**: Central state management across all modules
+3. **FormatPlanner**: Implements plan → action workflow
+4. **RollbackManager**: Full backup/restore capabilities
+5. **ChangeCache**: Tracks file changes to optimize performance
+6. **DependencyAnalyzer**: Manages module execution order
+7. **DiffReporter**: Generates diff views for changes
+8. **FormatStats**: Comprehensive execution statistics
+
+### Key Patterns
+
+1. **Plugin Architecture**: All dependencies imported through `plugins.ts` files
+2. **Streaming**: Uses smartstream for file processing
+3. **Interactive Prompts**: smartinteract for user input
+4. **Enhanced Error Handling**: Comprehensive try-catch with automatic rollback
+5. **Template System**: Templates handled by smartscaf, not directly by gitzone
+6. **Type Safety**: Full TypeScript with interfaces and type definitions
+
+### Important Notes
+
+- `.nogit/` directory used for temporary/untracked files, backups, and cache
+- `.nogit/gitzone-backups/` stores format operation backups
+- `.nogit/gitzone-cache/` stores file change cache
+- Templates are managed by smartscaf - improvements should be made there
+- License checking configurable with exceptions support
+- All features implemented: `ensureDependency`, copy module, etc.
+
+## Recent Improvements (Completed)
+
+1. **Plan → Action Workflow**: Shows changes before applying them
+2. **Rollback Mechanism**: Full backup and restore on failures
+3. **Enhanced Configuration**: Granular control via npmextra.json
+4. **Better Error Handling**: Detailed errors with recovery options
+5. **Performance Optimizations**: Parallel execution and caching
+6. **Reporting**: Diff views, statistics, verbose logging
+7. **Architecture**: Clean separation of concerns with new classes
+
+## Development Tips

+## Configuration Format
+```json
+{
+  "PROJECT_NAME": "derived-from-package-name",
+  "MONGODB_HOST": "localhost",
+  "MONGODB_NAME": "project-name",
+  "MONGODB_PORT": "random-port",
+  "MONGODB_USER": "defaultadmin",
+  "MONGODB_PASS": "defaultpass",
+  "S3_HOST": "localhost",
+  "S3_PORT": "random-port",
+  "S3_CONSOLE_PORT": "s3-port+1",
+  "S3_USER": "defaultadmin",
+  "S3_PASS": "defaultpass",
+  "S3_BUCKET": "project-name-documents"
+}
+```
+
+## Command Examples
+```bash
+gitzone services start          # Start all services
+gitzone services start mongo    # Start only MongoDB
+gitzone services stop           # Stop all services
+gitzone services status         # Check service status
+gitzone services config         # Show configuration
+gitzone services compass        # Show MongoDB Compass connection string
+gitzone services logs mongo 50  # Show last 50 lines of MongoDB logs
+gitzone services remove         # Remove containers (preserve data)
+gitzone services clean          # Remove containers and data
+```
+
+## Progress Notes
+Implementation started: 2025-08-14
+Implementation completed: 2025-08-14
+
+## Summary
+Successfully implemented the `gitzone services` command in TypeScript, providing a complete replacement for the `services.sh` shell script. The implementation includes:
+
+1. **Complete Docker service management** for MongoDB and MinIO containers
+2. **Smart configuration management** with automatic port assignment and conflict avoidance
+3. **MongoDB Compass support** with network IP detection for remote connections
+4. **Project isolation** using project-specific container names
+5. **Data persistence** in `.nogit/` directories
+6. **Interactive confirmations** for destructive operations
+7. **Comprehensive command set** including start, stop, restart, status, config, compass, logs, remove, and clean commands
+
+The module is fully integrated into the gitzone CLI and ready for testing.
