VYNDR — Claude Code Project Context

What This Is

Sports betting intelligence SaaS. Real software product. Three tiers: Free (5 scans), Analyst ($19.99 / $14.99 founder), Desk ($49.99 / $34.99 founder).

Tech Stack

• Backend: Node.js / Express
• Database: Supabase (PostgreSQL)
• Frontend: React Native (built in Cursor)
• Data: The Odds API ($30/mo), nba_api (free, Python wrapper)
• Caching: Redis — 15min for odds, 24hr for season averages, 1hr for recent games
• Payments: Stripe

Critical Rules — Non-Negotiable

1. NO CODE WITHOUT A SPEC

Every feature requires a spec file in specs/ before any code is written. Spec must include: endpoints, data shapes, acceptance criteria, test plan. Get approval before building.

2. WSL2 HEREDOC RULE

WSL2 corrupts heredoc for files over 10 lines. ALWAYS use Python file-writing: python3 with triple-quoted strings. This applies to every file creation operation.

3. 5 QUALITY GATES (all must pass before any feature is marked complete)

1. Unit tests pass
2. Integration tests pass
3. Acceptance criteria met (from spec)
4. PR description written
5. CLAUDE.md updated if anything new learned

4. BUILD-STATE.md

Update after every session. What shipped, what's next, any blockers.

5. BLOCKERS.md

If you hit something you cannot resolve: log it. Don't guess. Don't skip.

All-Day Intelligence Layer (Session 23)

Free/cheap content that keeps the platform alive when odds-api props are empty. NONE of these spend odds-api credits:

• /api/schedule/:sport — cache-aside ESPN scoreboard (scheduleService), self-heals on cache miss. Per-game hasOdds/hasGameLines flags peek at other caches without fetching.
• /api/gamelines/:sport — Tank01 book-by-book lines (RAPID_API_KEY quota).
• /api/streaks/:sport + /api/hotlist/:sport — PURE engines (streaksService, hotListService) computed from cached game logs. NO API calls. Logs loaded by rosterLogs.js (prefetch blob, else Redis SCAN over gamelogs:{sport}:{player}:{count}). Empty roster = valid empty state.
• ?stat= filters narrow streaks/hotlist; categories in config/statFilters.js (mirror web/src/config/statFilters.ts). Discovery: /api/stats/filters/:sport.
• Dead providers: set status: 'dead' in config/providers.js to drop a provider from fallback chains + configured list (ParlayAPI host is dead).

Frontend ↔ Backend Wiring (Session 25 — non-obvious)

A new Express route under /api/* is NOT reachable from the browser until a matching Next.js proxy route exists at web/src/app/api/.../route.ts that forwards to ${BACKEND_URL}/api/.... The browser hits the Next origin, not Express directly. This bit us: schedule/gamelines/streaks/hotlist endpoints worked on Express but 404'd in the UI for two sessions. When adding a backend endpoint the frontend calls, ALWAYS add the proxy too (pattern: web/src/app/api/odds/nba/route.ts).

Tank01 betting-odds real shape: sportsbooks are TOP-LEVEL keys on each game object ({ awayTeam, homeTeam, bet365:{...} }), not a sportsBooks array. Filter NON_BOOK_KEYS to extract books (see gameLines.js).
