+# Worked adapter examples
+
+Concrete, sanitized `.claude/gates.json` + `CLAUDE.md` pairs for real stacks, to copy from when you
+[fill in your own adapter](../docs/GETTING_STARTED.md#step-3--fill-in-claudegatesjson-the-adapter--the-important-one).
+Each subdirectory is one stack; the `gates.json` there is what you'd drop into your repo's `.claude/gates.json`.
+
+| Example | Stack | Highlights |
+|---|---|---|
+| [`ts-solidity-foundry/`](ts-solidity-foundry/) | TypeScript (pnpm workspace) **+** Solidity (Foundry) monorepo | Gates that span two toolchains; a module map mixing `packages/*` (TS) and `contracts/` (Foundry); mixed-stack `test_affected`; which artifacts to gitignore vs track. |
+
+> These are **references, not runnable projects** — they show the adapter shape and the decisions a mixed
+> stack forces, not a buildable tree. Adapt the paths and commands to your repo, then verify each gate runs
+> (`bash .claude/scripts/gate.sh build`, etc.).

+
+## What this project is
+On-chain lending protocol. Solidity contracts hold the logic; a TypeScript SDK wraps them and a web app
+consumes the SDK. Users interact through the web app; integrators use the SDK.
+
+## Stack & layout
+- Language / runtime: TypeScript (Node 20) + Solidity 0.8.x
+- Package manager: pnpm (workspace) for TS; Foundry (`forge`) for contracts
+- Key directories (mirror `.claude/gates.json` → `modules`):
+  - `packages/sdk/` — TS client SDK wrapping the contracts (consumes the generated ABI)
+  - `packages/web/` — front-end app, consumes `sdk`
+  - `contracts/` — Foundry project: `.sol` sources, `test/`, deploy scripts, `foundry.toml`
+
+## Conventions
+- Code style / lint: eslint + prettier for TS; `forge fmt` for Solidity (checked in CI via `forge fmt --check`).
+- Testing: vitest per TS package (`test` script); `forge test` for contracts. Tests live beside sources
+  (`*.test.ts`) and in `contracts/test/*.t.sol`.
+- Definition of done: `build`, `lint`, `typecheck`, `test` all green; contract changes keep `forge coverage`
+  ≥ threshold; reviewers approve (security lens required for `contracts`).
+
+## Multi-agent orchestration
+This repo is set up for orchestrated multi-agent development. See `docs/USAGE.md`.
+- **Adapter:** `.claude/gates.json` — module map, gate commands, model routing. Keep it current.
+- **Gates run via** `.claude/scripts/gate.sh <name>` and the hooks in `.claude/settings.json`.
+
+### Module boundaries (hard rule)
+A worker assigned to a module MUST NOT edit files outside that module's `path`.
+- The **ABI** that `sdk` consumes is a *build artifact* of `contracts` — regenerate it via `build`, never by
+  hand-editing across the boundary. If an SDK change needs a contract change, the orchestrator re-scopes it as
+  two coordinated sub-tasks (contracts first, then sdk), not one worker reaching across.
+- `web` depends on `sdk`'s published types; same rule — cross-package changes are re-scoped, never reached.
+
+### Merge policy
+`pr-per-agent` — base branch `main`.
+
+## Don'ts
+- Don't put secrets (RPC URLs, deployer keys, mnemonics) in the repo — use `.env` (gitignored).
+- Don't bypass the gates.
+- Don't commit build artifacts — see the example README for the gitignore split.

+# TypeScript + Solidity (Foundry) monorepo — worked adapter
+
+A reference [`gates.json`](gates.json) + [`CLAUDE.md`](CLAUDE.md) for a **pnpm workspace + Foundry** monorepo:
+several TS packages plus a `contracts/` Foundry project. It exists because the first real adaptation of this
+template to a mixed stack hit a handful of stack-specific decisions a JS-only example doesn't surface. Those
+decisions, and how this example resolves them:
+
+## 1. Gates that span two toolchains
+Each gate runs the TS side, then the Foundry side, and fails if **either** fails:
+
+```jsonc
+"build": "pnpm -r build && (cd contracts && forge build)",
+"test":  "pnpm -r test  && (cd contracts && forge test)",
+"lint":  "pnpm -r lint  && (cd contracts && forge fmt --check)",
+```
+
+- `&&` (not `;`) so a red TS build short-circuits before forge runs and the gate's exit code is honest.
+- `(cd contracts && …)` in a **subshell** — forge must run inside its own project dir (where `foundry.toml`
+  lives), but the subshell keeps `gate.sh`'s working dir at the repo root for the next gate.
+- `typecheck` is TS-only (Solidity's compile *is* its typecheck, already covered by `forge build`).
+- `coverage` combines `pnpm -r coverage` with `forge coverage --report summary`; keep one
+  `coverage_threshold` that both must clear, or split into per-stack tickets if they diverge.
+
+## 2. A module map mixing TS packages and a Foundry dir
+```jsonc
+"modules": [
+  { "name": "sdk",       "path": "packages/sdk" },
+  { "name": "web",       "path": "packages/web" },
+  { "name": "contracts", "path": "contracts"    }
+]
+```
+Each `path` is a **non-overlapping worker boundary**. The subtlety in a mixed stack is the **generated ABI**:
+`sdk` consumes an ABI produced from `contracts`. That ABI is a *build artifact*, not a shared source file — so:
+
+- A worker in `contracts` edits `.sol` and regenerates the ABI via `build`.
+- A worker in `sdk` consumes the committed/generated ABI but **never edits `contracts`**.
+- If a feature needs both (new contract method + SDK wrapper), the orchestrator splits it into two coordinated
+  sub-tasks (contracts → then sdk), rather than letting one worker cross the boundary. This keeps the isolation
+  guarantee that makes parallel workers safe.
+
+## 3. `test_affected` for this stack
+`test_affected` runs on the `Stop` hook after every change, so it should be fast:
+
+```jsonc
+"test_affected": "pnpm --filter \"...[origin/main]\" test && (cd contracts && forge test)"
+```
+
+- **TS side:** `pnpm --filter "...[origin/main]"` runs only packages changed since `origin/main` (plus their
+  dependents). This needs `origin/main` present in the worktree — a per-worktree setup hook should
+  `git fetch origin main` first, or the filter silently matches nothing. (See the `test_affected` guidance in
+  [`docs/GETTING_STARTED.md`](../../docs/GETTING_STARTED.md#choosing-test_affected-per-stack).)
+- **Foundry side:** `forge` has **no** native since-base filter, so run the full `forge test`. Contract suites
+  are usually fast enough to run whole; if not, split by directory with `forge test --match-path`.
+- If in doubt, `test_affected` = your full `test` is always a correct (if slower) default.
+
+## 4. Artifacts: gitignore vs track
+```gitignore
+# TS
+node_modules/
+packages/*/dist/
+
+# Foundry
+contracts/out/         # compiled artifacts — regenerated by `forge build`
+contracts/cache/
+contracts/broadcast/   # deploy tx logs — noise; keep only if you need an on-chain audit trail
+
+# Secrets
+.env
+```
+- **Ignore** compiled output (`out/`, `dist/`, `cache/`) — it's reproducible from `build`.
+- **Track** the generated **ABI/types** that `sdk` imports *if* you want SDK builds to work without first
+  compiling contracts (common for CI speed and for downstream consumers). Otherwise generate it in `build` and
+  ignore it. Pick one and state it in `CLAUDE.md` so workers don't thrash.
+- **Track** `foundry.toml`, `remappings.txt`, and the lockfiles (`pnpm-lock.yaml`); **never** track `.env`.
+
+## Using it
+1. Copy [`gates.json`](gates.json) → your repo's `.claude/gates.json`; fix module `path`s and gate commands to
+   match your layout.
+2. Copy [`CLAUDE.md`](CLAUDE.md) → your repo root; trim to your project.
+3. Verify each gate actually runs: `bash .claude/scripts/gate.sh build` (and `lint`, `test`, …).
+4. Follow [`docs/GETTING_STARTED.md`](../../docs/GETTING_STARTED.md) from Step 4 on.
