This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

## Project Overview

This is a website project for the radiophotonics department (ru.radiophotonics), currently in planning phase. The project is designed to create a flexible, easily administrable website for academic/research purposes.

## Planned Architecture

Based on Plan.md, this will be a full-stack web application with:

- **Frontend**: React + Next.js
- **Backend**: Go (REST API)
- **Database**: PostgreSQL
- **File Storage**: MinIO or S3-compatible storage
- **Authentication**: JWT with role-based access (Editor with login, Observer without login)
- **Admin Panel**: Web interface for content management

## Main Sections (Planned)

1. **Main Page** - General lab information and mission
2. **Publications and News** - Publication lists, PDF attachments, news publishing
3. **RIDs (Intellectual Property Results)** - Patents, developments, programs catalog
4. **Projects** - Project listings with related RIDs, publications, news, partners
5. **Partners** - Collaboration information and project links
6. **Staff** - Employee directory with photos, positions, contacts, publications
7. **Contacts** - Address, maps (Google/Yandex), contact form
8. **For Students** - Educational materials, handbooks (PDFs), schedules, instructions

## Technical Stack (Recommended)

### Backend (Go)
- Gin or Echo for API framework
- GORM for database ORM
- JWT for authentication

### Frontend (Next.js)
- TailwindCSS or shadcn/ui for styling
- Axios/React Query for API communication

### Editor Features
- WYSIWYG editor (tiptap or CKEditor)
- Drag-and-drop file upload
- Content management panel

## Development Phases

1. **Design Phase**: Database schema, API design
2. **MVP**: Basic backend CRUD + frontend with main sections + auth
3. **Admin Panel**: Content editing interface, file uploads
4. **UI Improvements**: Search, filters, image optimization, user roles
5. **Deployment**: Docker deployment, SSL setup
