# AGENTS.md — core-cms

**Tag:** core-composition

**Composition-only package** that aggregates feature Payload collections and globals into a single Payload config. It does not define its own collections; instead, it imports them from feature packages.

## Responsibilities

- **Compose Payload config** — `buildConfig()` with all collections and globals from features
- **Type generation** — Output `generated-types.ts` from Payload's TypeScript generator
- **No collection definitions** — all collections owned by their respective features (`@repo/auth`, `@repo/blog`, etc.)
- **No business logic** — purely structural assembly

## Allowed imports

- **`@repo/<feature>/cms`** subpath exports only (to get collections/globals)
  - e.g., `import { articles } from "@repo/blog/cms"`
  - e.g., `import { users } from "@repo/auth/cms"`
  - e.g., `import { pages, siteSettings } from "@repo/marketing-pages/cms"`

## Must NOT import

- Any feature's root package or other subpaths (e.g., NOT `@repo/blog/di`, NOT `@repo/blog/entities`)
- Any app package
- `@repo/core-shared`, `@repo/core-api`, `@repo/core-trpc`, `@repo/core-ui`

> Note: `@repo/core-trpc` and `@repo/core-ui` are optional packages scaffolded via `pnpm turbo gen core-package trpc` / `ui`. If not present, these constraints still apply to any future installation.

## Public exports

From `package.json`:
- `.` — the Payload config (default export) + buildConfig re-export
- `./generated-types` — Payload-generated TypeScript types

Example usage:
```typescript
import { buildConfig } from "@repo/core-cms";
// or
import type { Config, User, Article } from "@repo/core-cms/generated-types";
```

## Test conventions

- No unit tests (composition layer)
- Verify at app boot: `pnpm dev --filter @repo/cms` succeeds and admin UI loads
- Type generation: `pnpm generate:types` in `apps/cms`

## Structure

```
src/
  payload.config.ts          # imports feature /cms exports, calls buildConfig()
  generated-types.ts         # auto-generated by Payload
  index.ts                   # re-exports config
```
