```

Quick Start

# Scan a collection
ogt scan creatures

# Check entry status

mkdir -p front/data/app-creatures/phoenix

# 2. Create minimal data.ts
cat > front/data/app-creatures/phoenix/data.ts << 'EOF'
export const phoenix = {
  slug: 'phoenix',
  name: 'Phoenix',
  type: 'creature',
};
EOF

# 3. Set initial status
ogt status front/data/app-creatures/phoenix stub

# 4. Generate content
ogt generate creatures phoenix --prompt description
ogt generate creatures phoenix --apply

# 5. Update status
ogt status front/data/app-creatures/phoenix draft

Audit Before Release

# 1. Run full audit
ogt audit creatures --check-assets --check-schema --check-links

# 2. Review issues
ogt audit creatures --report | less

# 3. Fix auto-fixable issues
ogt audit creatures --fix

# 4. Verify fixes
ogt audit creatures --check-assets

Find Incomplete Entries

# Find entries without portraits
ogt scan creatures --missing portrait

# Find entries without descriptions
ogt scan creatures --missing description

# Find stubs that need work
ogt scan creatures --status stub

Batch Status Update

# Move all draft to review
for entry in $(ogt scan creatures --status draft --format csv | tail -n +2); do
  ogt status "$entry" review
done

Export Report

# Generate CSV of all entries with status
ogt scan creatures --format csv > creatures-status.csv

# Generate full audit report
ogt audit creatures --report > audit-$(date +%Y%m%d).md

# Change port in .env
PORT_FRONT=23101

Container Won't Start

# View container logs
docker-compose logs orc-back

# Rebuild from scratch
docker-compose down -v
docker-compose build --no-cache
docker-compose up -d

Database Connection Issues

# Docker Workflows

## Daily Development

### Start Day

```bash
# Start services
docker-compose up -d

docker-compose logs -f orc-front orc-back

During Development

# Restart after code change (hot reload usually works)
docker-compose restart orc-front

# View specific service logs
docker-compose logs -f orc-back --tail 100

# Run command in container
docker-compose exec orc-front yarn test

End Day

# Stop services
docker-compose stop

# Or remove containers (preserves data)
docker-compose down

Common Tasks

Rebuild After Dependency Change

# Rebuild specific service
docker-compose build orc-front
docker-compose up -d orc-front
