# Create Resource (Orchestrator)

Complete workflow for creating a new CRUD resource with all layers, tests, and real-time events.

## Overview

This skill orchestrates the creation of a complete resource by guiding you through all the required skills in the correct order.

## Prerequisites

Before starting, you should know:

- **Entity name** (e.g., "Course", "Project", "Task")
- **Entity fields** (what data does it hold?)
- **Business rules** (who can do what?)

## Creation Workflow

### Phase 1: Schema Layer

| Step | Skill           | Output                                  |
| ---- | --------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| 1    | `create-schema` | `src/schemas/{entity}.schema.ts`        |
| 2    | `test-schema`   | `tests/schemas/{entity}.schema.test.ts` |

**Creates**: Zod schemas for entity, create DTO, update DTO, query params, and TypeScript types.

### Phase 2: Repository Layer

| Step | Skill                       | Output                                                    |
| ---- | --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| 3    | `create-repository`         | `src/repositories/{entity}.repository.ts`                 |
| 4    | `create-mockdb-repository`  | `src/repositories/mockdb/{entity}.mockdb.repository.ts`   |
| 5    | `test-mockdb-repository`    | `tests/repositories/{entity}.mockdb.repository.test.ts`   |
| 6    | `create-mongodb-repository` | `src/repositories/mongodb/{entity}.mongodb.repository.ts` |
| 7    | `test-mongodb-repository`   | `tests/repositories/{entity}.mongodb.repository.test.ts`  |

**Creates**: Repository interface and implementations for MockDB and MongoDB.

### Phase 3: Service Layer

| Step | Skill                       | Output                                         |
| ---- | --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| 8    | `create-resource-service`   | `src/services/{entity}.service.ts`             |
| 9    | `add-authorization-methods` | Update `src/services/authorization.service.ts` |
| 10   | `test-resource-service`     | `tests/services/{entity}.service.test.ts`      |

**Creates**: Business logic service with authorization and event emission.

### Phase 4: Controller Layer

| Step | Skill               | Output                                          |
| ---- | ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| 11   | `create-controller` | `src/controllers/{entity}.controller.ts`        |
| 12   | `test-controller`   | `tests/controllers/{entity}.controller.test.ts` |

**Creates**: HTTP request handlers.

### Phase 5: Routes Layer

| Step | Skill              | Output                                 |
| ---- | ------------------ | -------------------------------------- |
| 13   | `create-routes`    | `src/routes/{entity}.router.ts`        |
| 14   | `integrate-routes` | Update `src/app.ts` to mount routes    |
| 15   | `test-routes`      | `tests/routes/{entity}.router.test.ts` |

**Creates**: Route definitions with middleware, integrated into app.

### Phase 6: Events (Optional)

| Step | Skill                 | Output               |
| ---- | --------------------- | -------------------- |
| 16   | `add-resource-events` | Update events router |

**Creates**: Real-time SSE event streaming for the resource.
