## Overview
-Taskfy is a powerful developer toolkit designed to streamline the development, deployment, and maintenance of modern Rails applications integrated with React. It combines robust dependency management, frontend asset optimization, and containerized workflows to enhance productivity and scalability.
-
-**Why Taskfy?**
-
-This project simplifies complex workflows by providing:
-
-- ๐งฉ **Dependency & Environment Management:** Ensures a consistent, scalable Rails setup with Gemfile, credentials, and environment configs.
-- ๐ **Frontend Asset Optimization:** Uses esbuild, Tailwind CSS, and Vite for fast, modern frontend builds.
-- ๐ณ **Containerized Deployment:** Dockerfile and Procfile.dev facilitate reliable, repeatable environments.
-- ๐ฏ **Testing & Quality Assurance:** Factory setups, parallel test execution, and system tests improve code reliability.
-- ๐ **Secure & Maintainable:** Encrypted credentials, security policies, and clear separation of concerns support long-term stability.

+Taskfy is designed for a Rails-first backend workflow with a modern frontend toolchain.
+
+- Rails handles domain logic, persistence, and JSON responses.
+- React handles interactive UI components in the frontend shell.
+- Vite/esbuild provide fast frontend development and bundling.
+- SQLite keeps local setup lightweight.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- **Backend framework:** Rails 8 (`config.load_defaults 8.0`)
+- **API rendering:** Jbuilder templates under `app/views/**/.json.jbuilder`
+- **Auth/session flow:** session resource (`POST /session`, `DELETE /session`)
+- **Authorization:** Pundit policy layer (e.g., `app/policies/task_policy.rb`)
+- **Frontend entrypoint:** `app/javascript/src/App.jsx` served through Rails routing fallback
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+### Backend
+- Ruby on Rails `~> 8.0.4`
+- SQLite3
+- Pundit
+- Jbuilder
+- Solid Queue / Solid Cache / Solid Cable
+
+### Frontend
+- React 18
+- Vite
+- esbuild
+- Sass
+- Tailwind CSS
+
+### Tooling
+- RuboCop
+- ESLint + Prettier
+- Brakeman
+- Husky + lint-staged
+
+## API
+
+JSON routes are defined with a `format: :json` constraint in `config/routes.rb`.
+
+| Method | Path | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| GET | `/tasks` | List tasks |
+| POST | `/tasks` | Create task |
+| GET | `/tasks/:slug` | Get task by slug |
+| PATCH / PUT | `/tasks/:slug` | Update task |
+| DELETE | `/tasks/:slug` | Delete task |
+| GET | `/users` | List users |
+| POST | `/users` | Create user |
+| POST | `/session` | Sign in / create session |
+| DELETE | `/session` | Sign out / destroy session |
+| POST | `/comments` | Create comment |

-## Getting Started
+## Local Development
### Prerequisites
-This project requires the following dependencies:
+Install:
+- Ruby (version compatible with `.ruby-version`)
+- Bundler
+- Node.js + Yarn
+- SQLite3
-- **Programming Language:** Ruby
-- **Package Manager:** Bundler, Rake, Npm, Yarn
-- **Container Runtime:** Docker
+### Setup
-### Installation
+```bash
+git clone
+cd taskfy
+bundle install
+yarn install

- ```
+### Run
-2. **Navigate to the project directory:**
+```bash
+bin/dev
+```
- ```sh
- โฏ cd taskfy
- ```
+`bin/dev` uses `Procfile.dev` and starts:
+- Rails server
+- JS build watcher
+- Vite dev server
-3. **Install the dependencies:**
+Default URL: `http://localhost:3000`
-**Using [docker](https://www.docker.com/):**

+Before deploying, review:
+- `config/deploy.yml`
+- `.kamal/secrets`
-
+## Troubleshooting
----
+- **Port conflict:** `PORT=3001 bin/dev`
+- **Dependency mismatch:** rerun `bundle install` and `yarn install`
