+description: Guidelines for working on the Sentry JavaScript SDK monorepo
+alwaysApply: true
+---
+
+# SDK Development Rules
+
+You are working on the Sentry JavaScript SDK, a critical production SDK used by thousands of applications. Follow these rules strictly.
+
+## Code Quality Requirements (MANDATORY)
+
+**CRITICAL**: All changes must pass these checks before committing:
+
+1. **Always run `yarn lint`** - Fix all linting issues
+2. **Always run `yarn test`** - Ensure all tests pass  
+3. **Always run `yarn build:dev`** - Verify TypeScript compilation
+
+## Development Commands
+
+### Build Commands
+- `yarn build` - Full production build with package verification
+- `yarn build:dev` - Development build (transpile + types)
+- `yarn build:dev:watch` - Development build in watch mode (recommended)
+- `yarn build:dev:filter <package>` - Build specific package and dependencies
+- `yarn build:types:watch` - Watch mode for TypeScript types only
+- `yarn build:bundle` - Build browser bundles only
+
+### Testing
+- `yarn test` - Run all tests (excludes integration tests)
+- `yarn test:unit` - Run unit tests only
+- `yarn test:pr` - Run tests affected by changes (CI mode)
+- `yarn test:pr:browser` - Run affected browser-specific tests
+- `yarn test:pr:node` - Run affected Node.js-specific tests
+
+### Linting and Formatting
+- `yarn lint` - Run ESLint and Prettier checks
+- `yarn fix` - Auto-fix linting and formatting issues
+- `yarn lint:es-compatibility` - Check ES compatibility
+
+## Git Flow Branching Strategy
+
+This repository uses **Git Flow**. See [docs/gitflow.md](docs/gitflow.md) for details.
+
+### Key Rules
+- **All PRs target `develop` branch** (NOT `master`)
+- `master` represents the last released state
+- Never merge directly into `master` (except emergency fixes)
+- Avoid changing `package.json` files on `develop` during pending releases
+
+### Branch Naming
+- Features: `feat/descriptive-name`
+- Releases: `release/X.Y.Z`
+
+## Repository Architecture
+
+This is a Lerna monorepo with 40+ packages in the `@sentry/*` namespace.
+
+### Core Packages
+- `packages/core/` - Base SDK with interfaces, type definitions, core functionality
+- `packages/types/` - Shared TypeScript type definitions (active)
+- `packages/browser-utils/` - Browser-specific utilities and instrumentation
+
+### Platform SDKs
+- `packages/browser/` - Browser SDK with bundled variants
+- `packages/node/` - Node.js SDK with server-side integrations
+- `packages/bun/`, `packages/deno/`, `packages/cloudflare/` - Runtime-specific SDKs
+
+### Framework Integrations
+- Framework packages: `packages/{framework}/` (react, vue, angular, etc.)
+- Client/server entry points where applicable (nextjs, nuxt, sveltekit)
+- Integration tests use Playwright (Remix, browser-integration-tests)
+
+### User Experience Packages
+- `packages/replay-internal/` - Session replay functionality
+- `packages/replay-canvas/` - Canvas recording for replay
+- `packages/replay-worker/` - Web worker support for replay
+- `packages/feedback/` - User feedback integration
+
+### Development Packages (`dev-packages/`)
+- `browser-integration-tests/` - Playwright browser tests
+- `e2e-tests/` - End-to-end tests for 70+ framework combinations
+- `node-integration-tests/` - Node.js integration tests
+- `test-utils/` - Shared testing utilities
+- `bundle-analyzer-scenarios/` - Bundle analysis
+- `rollup-utils/` - Build utilities
+- GitHub Actions packages for CI/CD automation
+
+## Development Guidelines
+
+### Build System
+- Uses Rollup for bundling (`rollup.*.config.mjs`)
+- TypeScript with multiple tsconfig files per package
+- Lerna manages package dependencies and publishing
+- Vite for testing with `vitest`
+
+### Package Structure Pattern
+Each package typically contains:
+- `src/index.ts` - Main entry point
+- `src/sdk.ts` - SDK initialization logic
+- `rollup.npm.config.mjs` - Build configuration
+- `tsconfig.json`, `tsconfig.test.json`, `tsconfig.types.json`
+- `test/` directory with corresponding test files
+
+### Key Development Notes
+- Uses Volta for Node.js/Yarn version management
+- Requires initial `yarn build` after `yarn install` for TypeScript linking
+- Integration tests use Playwright extensively
+- Native profiling requires Python <3.12 for binary builds
+
+## Testing Single Packages
+- Test specific package: `cd packages/{package-name} && yarn test`
+- Build specific package: `yarn build:dev:filter @sentry/{package-name}`
+
+## Code Style Rules
+- Follow existing code conventions in each package
+- Check imports and dependencies - only use libraries already in the codebase
+- Look at neighboring files for patterns and style
+- Never introduce code that exposes secrets or keys
+- Follow security best practices
+
+## Before Every Commit Checklist
+1. ✅ `yarn lint` (fix all issues)
+2. ✅ `yarn test` (all tests pass)
+3. ✅ `yarn build:dev` (builds successfully)
+4. ✅ Target `develop` branch for PRs (not `master`)
+
+## Documentation Sync
+**IMPORTANT**: When editing CLAUDE.md, also update .cursor/rules/sdk_development.mdc and vice versa to keep both files in sync.

+This is a Lerna monorepo containing 40+ packages in the `@sentry/*` namespace. Key architectural components:
+
+### Core Packages
+
+- `packages/core/` - Base SDK with interfaces, type definitions, and core functionality
+- `packages/types/` - Shared TypeScript type definitions (active)
+- `packages/browser-utils/` - Browser-specific utilities and instrumentation

+
+### Framework Integrations
+
+- Framework packages follow naming: `packages/{framework}/` (react, vue, angular, etc.)
+- Each has client/server entry points where applicable (e.g., nextjs, nuxt, sveltekit)
+- Integration tests use Playwright (e.g., Remix, browser-integration-tests)

+- TypeScript with multiple tsconfig files per package (main, test, types)
+- Lerna manages package dependencies and publishing
+- Vite for testing with `vitest`
+
+### Package Structure Pattern
+
+Each package typically contains:
+
+- `src/index.ts` - Main entry point
+- `src/sdk.ts` - SDK initialization logic
+- `rollup.npm.config.mjs` - Build configuration
+- `tsconfig.json`, `tsconfig.test.json`, `tsconfig.types.json` - TypeScript configs
+- `test/` directory with corresponding test files
+
+### Development Packages (`dev-packages/`)
+
+Separate from main packages, containing development and testing utilities:
+
+- `browser-integration-tests/` - Playwright browser tests
+- `e2e-tests/` - End-to-end tests for 70+ framework combinations
+- `node-integration-tests/` - Node.js integration tests
+- `test-utils/` - Shared testing utilities
+- `bundle-analyzer-scenarios/` - Bundle analysis
+- `rollup-utils/` - Build utilities
+- GitHub Actions packages for CI/CD automation
+
+### Key Development Notes
+
+- Uses Volta for Node.js/Yarn version management
+- Requires initial `yarn build` after `yarn install` for TypeScript linking
+- Integration tests use Playwright extensively
+- Native profiling requires Python <3.12 for binary builds
+- Bundle outputs vary - check `build/bundles/` for specific files after builds
+
+## Git Flow Branching Strategy
+
+This repository uses **Git Flow** branching model. See [detailed documentation](docs/gitflow.md).
+
+### Key Points
+
+- **All PRs target `develop` branch** (not `master`)
+- `master` represents the last released state
+- Never merge directly into `master` (except emergency fixes)
+- Automated workflow syncs `master` → `develop` after releases
+- Avoid changing `package.json` files on `develop` during pending releases
+
+### Branch Naming
+
+- Features: `feat/descriptive-name`
+- Releases: `release/X.Y.Z`
+
+## Code Quality Requirements
+
+**CRITICAL**: This is a production SDK used by thousands of applications. All changes must be:
+
+### Mandatory Checks
+
+- **Always run `yarn lint`** - Fix all linting issues before committing
+- **Always run `yarn test`** - Ensure all tests pass
+- **Run `yarn build`** - Verify build succeeds without errors
+
+### Before Any Commit
+
+1. `yarn lint` - Check and fix ESLint/Prettier issues
+2. `yarn test` - Run relevant tests for your changes
+3. `yarn build:dev` - Verify TypeScript compilation
+
+### CI/CD Integration
+
+- All PRs automatically run full lint/test/build pipeline
+- Failed checks block merging
+- Use `yarn test:pr` for testing only affected changes
+
+## Testing Single Packages
+
+To test a specific package: `cd packages/{package-name} && yarn test`
+To build a specific package: `yarn build:dev:filter @sentry/{package-name}`
