How to navigate the docs for Portfolio Command, a private operator dashboard for portfolio focus and strategic alignment.
Quick Reference
| Doc | Purpose | Read when… |
|---|---|---|
| STRATEGY.md | What the project is trying to solve and the “strategist” logic behind alignment and focus | You want the intent, target user, outcomes, and decision rules (the “why”) |
| SOLUTION.md | How the project solves the problem end-to-end (pipelines, snapshot model, scoring, UI surfaces) | You want the high-level implementation story (the “how”) |
| FEATURES.md | What the app does, why each feature exists, current status | You want to understand what's built and why it matters |
| APP_STRUCTURE.md | Codebase layout, design rationale, key file relationships | You're about to make changes and need to know where things live |
| ARCHITECTURE.md | Deep technical spec — schemas, RLS policies, data flows, design system | You need exact table definitions, security rules, or the snapshot contract |
| AI_COMPONENTS.md | AI pipeline details — prompts, scoring formulas, provider routing | You're debugging AI output, tuning prompts, or understanding focus scores |
| testing.md | How to run and write tests (frontend, standalone API, E2E, live smoke, live backend integration) | You want to run tests locally or add coverage |
| contracts.md | Backend API request/response contracts for the standalone API surface | You're integrating with backend APIs |
| standalone-api.md | Node/Fastify backend implementation and runtime contracts | You're working on the standalone backend and deployment behavior |
| SELF_HOSTING.md | Step-by-step guide to run the project on your own infrastructure | You're deploying outside Lovable or setting up a local dev environment |
| RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md | Merge/deploy verification policy for the Live Smoke workflow | You need to decide whether release verification is required for a change |
| FIRST_PROMPT.md | The original prompt that started this project | You want to understand the initial vision and constraints |
| LEAN_CANVAS.md | One-page business model canvas | You want to understand positioning, customers, and revenue model |
| PROMPT_HISTORY.md | Chronological log of every build message and what it produced | You want to trace when and why a specific feature was added |
Reading Order
New to the project? Start here:
- FEATURES.md — understand what this thing does and why
- APP_STRUCTURE.md — see how the code is organized
- ARCHITECTURE.md — go deep on schemas, security, and data flow
Debugging AI behavior? → Go straight to AI_COMPONENTS.md
Trying to figure out when something was built or changed? → PROMPT_HISTORY.md has the full timeline
Want the original design intent? → FIRST_PROMPT.md is the seed that produced everything else
