• Pydantic v2 models (Base, Create, Update, Response, InDB)
• pytest with TDD approach
• Ruff for linting
• uv for package management

Infrastructure

• Azure Developer CLI (azd) with remoteBuild: true
• Bicep templates for Container Apps
• Managed Identity for authentication
• Azure Container Registry for images

Workflow: Scaffold New Project

1. Gather Requirements

Ask for:

• PROJECT_NAME: Project directory name (kebab-case)
• PROJECT_DESCRIPTION: Brief description
• INCLUDE_AGENTS: Whether to include Azure AI Agents setup
• INCLUDE_SEARCH: Whether to include Azure AI Search setup

2. Create Project Structure

Follow this order:

1. Root files: azure.yaml, .env.example, .gitignore, .pre-commit-config.yaml
2. Frontend: Initialize with pnpm, Vite, React, Fluent UI, Tailwind
3. Backend: Initialize with uv, FastAPI, Pydantic, pytest
4. Infrastructure: Bicep templates for Container Apps
5. CI/CD: GitHub Actions workflow
6. Documentation: README with setup instructions

3. Verify Setup

# Frontend
cd src/frontend
pnpm install
pnpm dev        # Should start on :5173

# Backend
cd src/backend
uv sync
uv run fastapi dev app/main.py  # Should start on :8000

# Verify health endpoint
curl http://localhost:8000/api/health

Key Patterns

azure.yaml with Remote Build

name: ${PROJECT_NAME}
services:
  frontend:
    project: ./src/frontend
    host: containerapp
    language: ts
    docker:
      path: ./Dockerfile
      remoteBuild: true  # Build in Azure, not locally
  backend:
    project: ./src/backend
    host: containerapp
    language: python
    docker:
      path: ./Dockerfile
      remoteBuild: true

Fluent UI Dark Theme

// src/frontend/src/theme/brand.ts
import type { BrandVariants } from "@fluentui/react-components";

export const brandVariants: BrandVariants = {
  10: "#020305",
  20: "#111723",
  // ... full scale
  160: "#CDD8EF",
};

// src/frontend/src/theme/dark-theme.ts
import { createDarkTheme, type Theme } from "@fluentui/react-components";
import { brandVariants } from "./brand";

const baseDarkTheme = createDarkTheme(brandVariants);

export const darkTheme: Theme = {
  ...baseDarkTheme,
  colorNeutralBackground1: "#0a0a0a",
  colorNeutralBackground2: "#141414",
  // ... overrides
};

FastAPI with Settings

# src/backend/app/config.py
from pydantic_settings import BaseSettings

class Settings(BaseSettings):
    environment: str = "development"
    port: int = 8000
    frontend_url: str = "http://localhost:5173"
    azure_ai_project_endpoint: str = ""
    azure_ai_model_deployment_name: str = "gpt-4o-mini"

    class Config:
        env_file = ".env"

settings = Settings()

Container App Bicep Module

param name string
param location string = resourceGroup().location
param containerAppsEnvironmentName string
param targetPort int = 80
param env array = []

resource containerApp 'Microsoft.App/containerApps@2023-05-01' = {
  name: name
  location: location
  identity: { type: 'SystemAssigned' }
  properties: {
    managedEnvironmentId: containerAppsEnvironment.id
    configuration: {
      ingress: {
        external: true
        targetPort: targetPort
        transport: 'auto'
      }
    }
    template: {
      containers: [{
        name: 'main'
        image: 'mcr.microsoft.com/azuredocs/containerapps-helloworld:latest'
        resources: { cpu: json('0.5'), memory: '1Gi' }
        env: env
      }]
      scale: { minReplicas: 1, maxReplicas: 10 }
    }
  }
}

Commands

# Initialize new project
mkdir ${PROJECT_NAME} && cd ${PROJECT_NAME}

# Frontend setup
cd src/frontend
pnpm install
pnpm dev

# Backend setup
cd src/backend
uv sync
uv run fastapi dev app/main.py

# Run tests
uv run pytest

# Azure deployment
azd auth login
azd up

# Deploy changes only
azd deploy

Rules

✅ Use remoteBuild: true in azure.yaml for all services ✅ Use DefaultAzureCredential for Azure SDK authentication ✅ Use Fluent UI dark theme with custom brand tokens ✅ Use Pydantic v2 multi-model pattern for all API models ✅ Use async/await for all Azure SDK and database operations ✅ Include health check endpoint at /api/health ✅ Include CI workflow with lint, type check, and tests

🚫 Never hardcode credentials or endpoints 🚫 Never commit .env files 🚫 Never skip the verification step 🚫 Never use localBuild in azure.yaml (requires local Docker)
