Project Overview

Mana Loop is an incremental/idle game built with:

• Framework: Next.js 16 with App Router
• Language: TypeScript 5
• Styling: Tailwind CSS 4 with shadcn/ui components
• State Management: Zustand with persist middleware (modular store architecture)
• Database: Prisma ORM with SQLite (for persistence features)

Core Game Loop

1. Mana Gathering: Click or auto-generate mana over time
2. Studying: Spend mana to learn skills and spells
3. Combat: Climb the Spire, defeat guardians, sign pacts
4. Crafting: Enchant equipment with spell effects
5. Prestige: Reset progress for permanent bonuses (Insight)

Note: A complete, up-to-date project tree is automatically generated on each commit and saved to docs/project-structure.txt. This file is generated by the pre-commit hook using .husky/scripts/generate-project-tree.js and respects .gitignore rules.

Key Systems

1. State Management (Modular Store Architecture)

The game uses a modular Zustand store architecture with multiple specialized stores:

Store Modules (src/lib/game/stores/)

• gameStore.ts: Core state, tick logic, and main actions (~11KB)
• manaStore.ts: Mana gathering, elements, conversion (~9KB)
• combatStore.ts: Combat system, spells, floor progression (~9KB)
• prestigeStore.ts: Prestige/loop system, insight, upgrades (~8KB)
• skillStore.ts: Skill state, studying, evolution (~11KB)
• uiStore.ts: UI state, modals, debug settings (~2KB)

Legacy Store Files (Being Migrated)

• store.ts: Reduced from ~2812 lines to ~14KB (core logic moved to stores/)
• crafting-slice.ts: Reduced, being replaced by crafting-actions/

Store Interaction Pattern

// Each store can interact with other stores via get() and custom hooks
// Example from combatStore.ts:
import { useManaStore } from './manaStore';

// Access other store state
const manaState = useManaStore.getState();

2. Crafting System (Modular Architecture)

The crafting system has been split into focused action modules:

Crafting Action Modules (src/lib/game/crafting-actions/)

• design-actions.ts: Enchantment design creation (~3KB)
• preparation-actions.ts: Equipment preparation (~1KB)
• application-actions.ts: Enchantment application (~2KB)
• equipment-actions.ts: Equipment management (~2.5KB)
• crafting-equipment-actions.ts: Equipment crafting (~2.5KB)
• disenchant-actions.ts: Disenchanting logic (~1KB)
• computed-getters.ts: Crafting computed values (~2KB)
• index.ts: Barrel exports

3. Skill Evolution System (Modular Architecture)

The massive ~3400-line skill-evolution.ts has been split into focused modules:

Skill Evolution Modules (src/lib/game/skill-evolution-modules/)

• index.ts: Main export combining all skill trees (~11KB)
• mana-well-flow.ts: Mana Well and Mana Flow skills (~15KB)
• quick-learner.ts: Quick Learner and related skills (~7KB)
• focused-mind.ts: Focused Mind and study skills (~6KB)
• enchanting-skills.ts: Enchanting skill tree (~15KB)
• invocation-skills.ts: Invocation and Pact Mastery (~15KB)
• hybrid-skills.ts: Cross-attunement hybrid skills (~22KB)
• guardian-skills.ts: Guardian-related skills (~4KB)
• insight-harvest.ts: Insight and prestige skills (~7KB)
• mana-utility-skills.ts: Utility mana skills (~7KB)
• elemental-attunement.ts: Elemental skills (~7KB)
• knowledge-retention.ts: Knowledge retention skill (~4KB)
• learning-skills.ts: Basic learning skills (~1KB)
• magic-skills.ts: Magic-related skills (~1KB)
• utils.ts: Shared utilities
• types.ts: TypeScript interfaces

4. Constants System (Modular Architecture)

Game constants have been organized into domain-specific modules:

Constants Modules (src/lib/game/constants/)

• core.ts: Core game constants (timing, limits)
• elements.ts: Element definitions and hierarchies
• guardians.ts: Guardian definitions and stats
• prestige.ts: Prestige upgrade definitions
• rooms.ts: Room type definitions
• skills.ts: Complete skill definitions (~30KB)
• spells.ts: Spell definitions
• spells-modules/: Organized spell sub-modules
• index.ts: Barrel exports

5. Game Data (New Structure)

Data Directory (src/lib/game/data/)

• enchantment-effects.ts: Enchantment effect catalog
• enchantments/: Enchantment definitions by category
• equipment/: Equipment type definitions
• golems/: Golem type definitions
• achievements.ts: Achievement definitions
• crafting-recipes.ts: Crafting recipe definitions
• loot-drops.ts: Loot table definitions

Computed Stats (computed-stats.ts)

Extracted utility functions for stat calculations:

• computeMaxMana(), computeRegen(), computeEffectiveRegen()
• calcDamage(), calcInsight(), getElementalBonus()
• getFloorMaxHP(), getFloorElement(), getMeditationBonus()
• canAffordSpellCost(), deductSpellCost()

interface GameState {
  // Time
  day: number;
  hour: number;
  paused: boolean;
  
  // Mana (now in manaStore.ts)
  rawMana: number;
  elements: Record<string, ElementState>;
  
  // Combat (now in combatStore.ts)
  currentFloor: number;
  floorHP: number;
  activeSpell: string;
  castProgress: number;
  
  // Progression (now in skillStore.ts)
  skills: Record<string, number>;
  spells: Record<string, SpellState>;
  skillUpgrades: Record<string, string[]>;
  skillTiers: Record<string, number>;
  
  // Equipment
  equipmentInstances: Record<string, EquipmentInstance>;
  equippedInstances: Record<string, string | null>;
  enchantmentDesigns: EnchantmentDesign[];
  
  // Prestige (now in prestigeStore.ts)
  insight: number;
  prestigeUpgrades: Record<string, number>;
  signedPacts: number[];
}

Effect System (effects.ts)

CRITICAL: All stat modifications flow through the unified effect system.

// Effects come from two sources:
// 1. Skill Upgrades (milestone bonuses)
// 2. Equipment Enchantments (crafted bonuses)

getUnifiedEffects(state) => UnifiedEffects {
  maxManaBonus, maxManaMultiplier,
  regenBonus, regenMultiplier,
  clickManaBonus, clickManaMultiplier,
  baseDamageBonus, baseDamageMultiplier,
  attackSpeedMultiplier,
  critChanceBonus, critDamageMultiplier,
  studySpeedMultiplier,
  specials: Set<string>,  // Special effect IDs
}

When adding new stats:

1. Add to ComputedEffects interface in upgrade-effects.ts
2. Add mapping in computeEquipmentEffects() in effects.ts
3. Apply in the relevant game logic (tick, damage calc, etc.)

Important Patterns

Adding a New Effect

1. Define in enchantment-effects.ts (now in data/enchantment-effects.ts):

my_new_effect: {
  id: 'my_new_effect',
  name: 'Effect Name',
  description: '+10% something',
  category: 'combat',
  baseCapacityCost: 30,
  maxStacks: 3,
  allowedEquipmentCategories: ['caster', 'hands'],
  effect: { type: 'multiplier', stat: 'attackSpeed', value: 1.10 }
}

2. Add stat mapping in effects.ts (if new stat):

// In computeEquipmentEffects()
if (effect.stat === 'myNewStat') {
  bonuses.myNewStat = (bonuses.myNewStat || 0) + effect.value;
}

3. Apply in game logic:

const effects = getUnifiedEffects(state);
damage *= effects.myNewStatMultiplier;

Adding a New Skill

1. Define in constants/skills.ts (NEW location)
2. Add evolution path in skill-evolution-modules/ (NEW location)
   • Create new module or add to existing module
3. Export from skill-evolution-modules/index.ts
4. Update UI in components/game/tabs/SkillsTab.tsx

Adding a New Spell

1. Define in constants/spells.ts (NEW location)
2. Add to constants/spells-modules/ if categorized
3. Add spell enchantment in data/enchantment-effects.ts
4. Add research skill in constants/skills.ts
5. Map research to effect in EFFECT_RESEARCH_MAPPING

Git Hooks (Husky)

This project uses Husky to manage git hooks for automated checks and agent assistance:

Pre-Commit Hook (.husky/pre-commit)

Runs automatically before each commit:

1. File Size Check: Ensures no staged file exceeds 400 lines (improves AI agent readability)
2. Project Structure Generation: Updates docs/project-structure.txt with current tree (respects .gitignore)

Post-Merge Hook (.husky/post-merge)

Runs after merging branches:

• Checks if package.json or package-lock.json changed
• Automatically runs npm install to sync dependencies

Implementation Files

• Hook scripts: .husky/ directory
• File size check: .husky/scripts/check-file-size.js
• Tree generator: .husky/scripts/generate-project-tree.js

---

Common Pitfalls

1. Forgetting to call getUnifiedEffects(): Always use unified effects for stat calculations
2. Direct stat modification: Never modify stats directly; use effect system
3. Missing tier multiplier: Use getTierMultiplier(skillId) for tiered skills
4. Ignoring special effects: Check hasSpecial(effects, SPECIAL_EFFECTS.X) for special abilities
5. Not updating modular stores: Check all stores in stores/ directory for related state
6. Bypassing crafting-actions: Use the modular actions in crafting-actions/ for new crafting features

Testing

Run npm run test before every commit. Tests must pass.

When fixing a bug, write a test that would have caught it first. Test files live in src/lib/game/stores/tests/.

Critical paths that must always have tests:

• Any store action that modifies rawMana
• Any store action that modifies equippedInstances
• computeRegen, computeMaxMana, calcDamage
• canAffordSpellCost, spendRawMana, deductSpellCost

Testing Guidelines

• Run npm run lint after changes
• Run npm run test to execute unit tests
• Check dev server logs
• Test with fresh game state (clear localStorage)
• New: Tests are organized alongside their modules (e.g., stores/__tests__/, store-tests/)

Modular Architecture Pattern

The codebase has been refactored from large monolithic files into focused, modular components. This improves:

• Maintainability: Each module has a single responsibility
• Readability: Files are under 400 lines (pre-commit hook enforces this)
• AI Agent Efficiency: Smaller files are easier to understand and modify

Key Modular Directories

Directory	Purpose	Line Count Target
stores/	Zustand store modules	< 400 lines each
crafting-actions/	Crafting system actions	< 400 lines each
skill-evolution-modules/	Skill trees by category	< 400 lines each
constants/	Game constants by domain	< 400 lines each
data/	Game data definitions	< 400 lines each
components/game/tabs/	UI tab components	< 400 lines each
components/game/crafting/	Crafting UI components	< 400 lines each
components/game/stats/	Stats display components	< 400 lines each

Creating a New Module

1. Identify the domain: Which system does it belong to?
2. Create focused file: Keep under 400 lines
3. Export from index: Add to barrel export file
4. Update imports: Fix all references to old location
5. Test: Run lint and tests before committing

File Size Guidelines

Current File Sizes (After Modular Refactoring)

File	Lines	Size (bytes)	Notes
stores/gameStore.ts	~300	~11KB	Core state + tick logic
stores/manaStore.ts	~250	~9KB	Mana system
stores/combatStore.ts	~250	~9KB	Combat system
stores/prestigeStore.ts	~200	~8KB	Prestige system
stores/skillStore.ts	~300	~11KB	Skill system
stores/uiStore.ts	~50	~2KB	UI state
crafting-actions/*.ts	~50-150	~1-3KB each	Modular crafting
skill-evolution-modules/*.ts	~100-600	~4-22KB each	Modular skills
constants/*.ts	~50-1000	~1-30KB each	Modular constants
page.tsx	~100	~4KB	Main UI (heavily reduced)
components/game/tabs/*.tsx	~50-400	~2-15KB each	Tab components

Guidelines

• 400 lines maximum per file (enforced by pre-commit hook)
• Extract to modules when approaching 300 lines
• Use barrel exports (index.ts) for clean imports
• Keep related functionality together in modules
• Modular architecture is now the standard - all new code should follow this pattern

Automated File Size Check

A pre-commit hook automatically checks all staged files. Files exceeding 400 lines will be rejected. The hook runs via Husky and uses .husky/scripts/check-file-size.js. If your file is too large, refactor it into smaller modules before committing.

🚫 BANNED CONTENT - NEVER ADD THESE

Lifesteal and Healing are BANNED

DO NOT add lifesteal or healing mechanics to player abilities.

This includes:

• lifesteal spell effects
• heal or regeneration abilities for the player
• Any mechanic that restores player HP or mana based on damage dealt
• Life-stealing weapons or enchantments

Rationale: The game's core design is that the player cannot take damage - only floors can. Healing/lifesteal mechanics are unnecessary and would create confusing gameplay.

Banned Mana Types

The following mana types have been removed and should never be re-added:

• life - Healing/lifesteal themed (banned)
• blood - Life + Water compound (banned due to lifesteal theme)
• wood - Life + Earth compound (banned due to life connection)
• mental - Mind/psionic themed (removed for design consistency)
• force - Telekinetic themed (removed for design consistency)

Removed Features

• LabTab — permanently removed. Do not re-add under any name. The lab element conversion UI was replaced by attunements.

GitNexus — Code Intelligence

This project is indexed by GitNexus as Mana-Loop (3795 symbols, 6409 relationships, 146 execution flows). Use the GitNexus MCP tools to understand code, assess impact, and navigate safely.

If any GitNexus tool warns the index is stale, run npx gitnexus analyze in terminal first.

Always Do

• MUST run impact analysis before editing any symbol. Before modifying a function, class, or method, run gitnexus_impact({target: "symbolName", direction: "upstream"}) and report the blast radius (direct callers, affected processes, risk level) to the user.
• MUST run gitnexus_detect_changes() before committing to verify your changes only affect expected symbols and execution flows.
• MUST warn the user if impact analysis returns HIGH or CRITICAL risk before proceeding with edits.
• When exploring unfamiliar code, use gitnexus_query({query: "concept"}) to find execution flows instead of grepping. It returns process-grouped results ranked by relevance.
• When you need full context on a specific symbol — callers, callees, which execution flows it participates in — use gitnexus_context({name: "symbolName"}).

Never Do

• NEVER edit a function, class, or method without first running gitnexus_impact on it.
• NEVER ignore HIGH or CRITICAL risk warnings from impact analysis.
• NEVER rename symbols with find-and-replace — use gitnexus_rename which understands the call graph.
• NEVER commit changes without running gitnexus_detect_changes() to check affected scope.
