CLAUDE.md — The Nexus (Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus)

Project Overview

The Nexus is a Three.js environment — Timmy's sovereign home in 3D space. It serves as the central hub for all portals to other worlds. Stack: vanilla JS ES modules, Three.js 0.183, no bundler.

Architecture

index.html    # Entry point: HUD, chat panel, loading screen, live-reload script
style.css     # Design system: dark space theme, holographic panels
app.js        # Three.js scene, shaders, controls, game loop (~all logic)

No build step. Served as static files. Import maps in index.html handle Three.js resolution.

Conventions

• ES modules only — no CommonJS, no bundler
• Single-file app — logic lives in app.js; don't split without good reason
• Color palette — defined in NEXUS.colors at top of app.js
• Conventional commits: feat:, fix:, refactor:, test:, chore:
• Branch naming: claude/issue-{N} (e.g. claude/issue-5)
• One PR at a time — wait for merge-bot before opening the next

Validation (merge-bot checks)

The nexus-merge-bot.sh validates PRs before auto-merge:

1. HTML validation — index.html must be valid HTML
2. JS syntax — node --check app.js must pass
3. JSON validation — any .json files must parse
4. File size budget — JS files must be < 500 KB

Always run node --check app.js before committing.

Sequential Build Order — Nexus v1

Issues must be addressed one at a time. Only one PR open at a time.
