# Lokalise Reference Architecture

## Overview
Production-ready architecture patterns for Lokalise integrations.

## Prerequisites
- Understanding of layered architecture
- Lokalise SDK knowledge
- TypeScript project setup
- Testing framework configured

## Instructions
1. **Project Structure**
2. **Layer Architecture**
3. **Key Components**
4. **Data Flow Diagram**
5. **Configuration Management**
6. **Instructions**
7. **Flagship Skills**

For full implementation details, load: `Read(${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation-guide.md)`

## Output
- Structured project layout
- Client wrapper with caching
- Translation service facade
- i18n library integration

## Error Handling
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Circular imports | Wrong layering | Separate by layer |
| Missing locale | Not bundled | Add fallback logic |
| Stale translations | Cache not invalidated | Use webhooks to invalidate |
| Type errors | Missing types | Generate from source locale |

## Examples
See `references/implementation-guide.md` for detailed examples.
