+# GitHub Copilot Instructions for Music Library
+
+## Project Overview
+
+Music Library is an Elixir/Phoenix application for managing a personal music collection with integrations to MusicBrainz and Last.fm. The application uses SQLite for data storage, Phoenix LiveView for real-time UI, and Fluxon UI components for the interface.
+
+## Key Technologies
+
+- **Language**: Elixir (Phoenix Framework)
+- **Database**: SQLite with vector extension for AI-powered similarity search
+- **Frontend**: Phoenix LiveView, Tailwind CSS, Fluxon UI components
+- **Background Jobs**: Oban workers
+- **External APIs**: MusicBrainz, Last.fm, OpenAI, Discogs
+
+## Development Guidelines
+
+### Code Style
+
+- Write idiomatic Elixir following Phoenix conventions
+- Use functional programming patterns and immutability
+- Prefer pattern matching over conditionals
+- Use descriptive names (e.g., `user_signed_in?`, `calculate_total`)
+- Always use `gettext/1` for user-visible text instead of hardcoded strings
+
+### Project Structure
+
+- **Contexts**: `lib/music_library/` - Core business logic (records, artists, collection, wishlist, search)
+- **Web**: `lib/music_library_web/` - Phoenix LiveView modules, controllers, components
+- **Workers**: `lib/music_library/worker/` - Oban background job workers
+- **External APIs**: `lib/music_brainz/`, `lib/discogs/`, `lib/last_fm/`, `lib/open_ai/`
+
+### Database
+
+- All data stored in SQLite
+- Use Ecto for database interactions
+- Always preload associations to avoid N+1 queries
+- The project uses `records`, `artist_infos`, `scrobble_rules`, `online_store_templates`, `notes`, `assets`, and `secrets` tables
+
+### UI Development
+
+- Use Phoenix LiveView for dynamic interactions
+- Use Fluxon UI components instead of custom components where possible
+- Implement responsive design with Tailwind CSS
+- Use `:if` attributes in HEEx templates for cleaner code
+- Follow minimal markup principles
+
+### Testing
+
+- Run tests with `mix test` or `mise run dev:test`
+- Run specific tests: `mix test path/to/test.exs:line_number`
+- Run failed tests: `mix test --failed`
+- Write comprehensive tests using ExUnit
+
+### Development Commands
+
+- Setup: `mise install && mise run dev:setup`
+- Run server: `mise run dev:console` (IEx session included)
+- Lint: `mise run dev:lint` (format, credo, gettext checks)
+- Pre-commit: `mise run dev:precommit`
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Required for development (see `mise.toml` for samples):
+- `LAST_FM_USER`, `LAST_FM_API_KEY`
+- `OPENAI_KEY`
+- `FLUXON_KEY_FINGERPRINT`, `FLUXON_LICENSE_KEY`
+- `LOGIN_PASSWORD` (default: "change me" in dev)
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- **DO NOT** modify production systems - deployment is handled via Coolify
+- **Always** run `mise run dev:lint` before committing
+- **Reference** the comprehensive `AGENTS.md` file for detailed architectural guidelines
+- **Use** Oban workers for background tasks, not GenServers
+- **Encrypt** sensitive data using Cloak (see `MusicLibrary.Vault`)
+
+## For More Details
+
+See `AGENTS.md` for comprehensive project architecture, code organization, and AI agent guidelines including usage rules for Elixir, Phoenix, LiveView, Ecto, and Fluxon UI.
