+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Development Commands
+
+### Testing
+- `composer test` - Run tests without coverage using Docker
+- `./t 'test name'` - Run a specific test
+
+### Code Quality
+- `composer phpstan` - Run PHPStan static analysis (level 8)
+- `composer cs` - Fix code style using PHP CS Fixer
+
+### Docker Development
+- `composer docker-up` - Start Docker environment
+- `composer docker-down` - Stop Docker environment
+- `composer docker-restart` - Restart Docker environment
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+**Tenancy for Laravel** is a multi-tenancy package that automatically handles tenant isolation without requiring changes to application code.
+
+### Core Components
+
+**Central Classes:**
+- `Tenancy` - Main orchestrator class managing tenant context and lifecycle
+- `TenancyServiceProvider` (NOT the stub) - Registers services, commands, and bootstrappers
+- `Tenant` (model) - Represents individual tenants with domains and databases
+- `Domain` (model) - Maps domains/subdomains to tenants
+
+**Tenant Identification:**
+- **Resolvers** (`src/Resolvers/`) - Identify tenants by domain, path, or request data - this data comes from middleware
+- **Middleware** (`src/Middleware/`) - Middleware that calls resolvers and tries to initialize tenancy based on information from a request
+- **Cached resolvers** - Cached wrapper around resolvers to avoid querying the central database
+
+**Tenancy Bootstrappers (`src/Bootstrappers/`):**
+- `DatabaseTenancyBootstrapper` - Switches database connections
+- `CacheTenancyBootstrapper` - Isolates cache by tenant
+- `FilesystemTenancyBootstrapper` - Manages tenant-specific storage
+- `QueueTenancyBootstrapper` - Ensures queued jobs run in correct tenant context
+- `RedisTenancyBootstrapper` - Prefixes Redis keys by tenant
+
+**Database Management:**
+- **DatabaseManager** - Creates/deletes tenant databases and users
+- **TenantDatabaseManagers** - Database-specific implementations (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server)
+- **Row Level Security (RLS)** - PostgreSQL-based tenant isolation using policies
+
+**Advanced Features:**
+- **Resource Syncing** - Sync central models to tenant databases
+- **User Impersonation** - Admin access to tenant contexts
+- **Cross-domain redirects** - Handle multi-domain tenant setups
+- **Telescope integration** - Tag entries by tenant
+
+### Key Patterns
+
+**Tenant Context Management:**
+```php
+tenancy()->initialize($tenant);           // Switch to tenant
+tenancy()->run($tenant, $callback);      // Atomic tenant execution
+tenancy()->runForMultiple($tenants, $callback); // Batch operations
+tenancy()->central($callback);           // Run in central context
+```
+
+**Tenant Identification Flow:**
+1. Middleware identifies tenant from request (domain/subdomain/path)
+2. Resolver fetches tenant model from identification data
+3. Tenancy initializes and bootstrappers configure tenant context
+4. Application runs with tenant-specific database/cache/storage
+
+**Route Middleware Groups:**
+All of these work as flags, i.e. middleware groups that are empty arrays with a purely semantic use.
+- `tenant` - Routes requiring tenant context
+- `central` - Routes for central/admin functionality
+- `universal` - Routes working in both contexts
+- `clone` - Tells route cloning logic to clone the route
+
+### Testing Environment
+
+Tests use Docker with MySQL/PostgreSQL/Redis. The `./test` script runs Pest tests inside containers with proper database isolation.
+
+`./t 'test name'` is equivalent to `./test --filter 'test name'`
+
+**Key test patterns:**
+- Database preparation and cleanup between tests
+- Multi-database scenarios (central + tenant databases)
+- Middleware and identification testing
+- Resource syncing validation
+
+### Configuration
+
+Central config in `config/tenancy.php` controls:
+- Tenant/domain model classes
+- Database connection settings
+- Enabled bootstrappers and features
+- Identification middleware and resolvers
+- Cache and storage prefixes
