# Empathy Ledger Development Skill

This skill provides comprehensive context for developing the Empathy Ledger v2 platform - a multi-tenant storytelling platform for Indigenous communities with cultural safety protocols.

## Quick Reference

```

### Key Concepts

**OCAP Principles** (Indigenous Data Sovereignty):
- **Ownership**: Storytellers own their narratives
- **Control**: Users control who accesses their stories
- **Access**: Tiered access based on cultural sensitivity
- **Possession**: Data can be exported/deleted anytime

**Multi-Tenant Architecture**:
- All tables have `tenant_id` for isolation
- RLS policies enforce tenant boundaries
- Organizations = tenants

**Cultural Sensitivity Levels**:
- `standard` - General sharing allowed
- `medium` - Community context required
- `high` - Elder review recommended
- `sacred` - Elder approval mandatory, no external sharing

### Common Patterns

**API Route Authentication**:
```typescript
const supabase = createRouteHandlerClient({ cookies })
const { data: { user }, error } = await supabase.auth.getUser()
if (error || !user) {
  return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Unauthorized' }, { status: 401 })
}
```

**Story Ownership Check**:
```typescript
const isOwner = story.author_id === user.id || story.storyteller_id === user.id
```

**Cultural Color Palette**:
- `clay-*` - Primary, storyteller elements
- `sage-*` - Community, elder approval
- `sky-*` - Organization, trust
- `ember-*` - Warnings, sensitivity

### Database Domains

| Domain | File | Contents |
|--------|------|----------|
| User/Profile | `user-profile.ts` | Profiles, preferences |
| Organization | `organization-tenant.ts` | Tenants, memberships |
| Projects | `project-management.ts` | Projects, milestones |
| Content | `content-media.ts` | Stories, media |
| Cultural | `cultural-protocols.ts` | Sensitivity, approvals |
| Legal | `consent-legal.ts` | Consent, GDPR |
| Story Ownership | `story-ownership.ts` | Distributions, embeds |

### Key Services

- `EmbedService` - Manage story embeds with domain restrictions
- `DistributionService` - Track external shares
- `RevocationService` - Cascade revocation
- `GDPRService` - Anonymization, data export
- `AuditService` - Action logging

### Slash Commands

- `/review-cultural [code/feature]` - Cultural sensitivity review
- `/review-security [code/endpoint]` - Security audit
- `/generate-e2e-test [feature]` - Create Playwright test
- `/api-endpoint [description]` - Create API route

### Specialized Agents
