+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Build & Development
+
+```bash
+npm install          # Install dependencies
+npm run dev          # Watch mode development build (uses esbuild)
+npm run build        # Production build
+node dist/index.js   # Run CLI from source
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+npm test             # Run all tests (vitest)
+npm run test:watch   # Watch mode
+npm run test:coverage # Coverage report
+npx vitest tests/commands/deploy.test.ts  # Single test file
+npx vitest -t "test name pattern"         # Run specific test by name
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Entry Point & Command Structure
+- `src/index.ts` - Main entry, initializes Commander program and registers all command groups
+- Commands organized in `src/commands/<domain>/index.ts` - each exports `initialize*Commands(program)` function
+- Command domains: general (init/up/stop), account, contracts, config, localnet, update, scaffold, network, transactions, staking
+
+### Core Classes
+- `BaseAction` (`src/lib/actions/BaseAction.ts`) - Base class for all CLI actions. Provides:
+  - GenLayer client initialization via `genlayer-js` SDK
+  - Keystore management (encrypted wallet with password)
+  - Spinner/logging utilities (ora, chalk)
+  - User prompts (inquirer)
+- `ConfigFileManager` (`src/lib/config/ConfigFileManager.ts`) - Manages `~/.genlayer/genlayer-config.json`
+- `KeychainManager` (`src/lib/config/KeychainManager.ts`) - System keychain integration via keytar
+
+### Pattern for Adding Commands
+1. Create action class extending `BaseAction` in `src/commands/<domain>/<action>.ts`
+2. Export action options interface
+3. Register in domain's `index.ts` via Commander
+4. Add tests in `tests/commands/<domain>.test.ts` and `tests/actions/<action>.test.ts`
+
+### External Dependencies
+- `commander` - CLI framework
+- `genlayer-js` - GenLayer SDK for blockchain interactions
+- `ethers` - Wallet/keystore encryption
+- `dockerode` - Docker management for localnet
+- `viem` - Ethereum utilities
+
+### Path Aliases
+- `@/*` → `./src/*`
+- `@@/tests/*` → `./tests/*`

+#### Staking Operations
+
+Manage staking for validators and delegators on testnet-asimov. Staking is not available on localnet/studio.
+
+```bash
+USAGE:
+   genlayer staking <command> [options]
+
+COMMANDS:
+   validator-join [options]      Join as a validator by staking tokens
+   validator-deposit [options]   Make an additional deposit as a validator
+   validator-exit [options]      Exit as a validator by withdrawing shares
+   validator-claim [options]     Claim validator withdrawals after unbonding period
+   delegator-join [options]      Join as a delegator by staking with a validator
+   delegator-exit [options]      Exit as a delegator by withdrawing shares
+   delegator-claim [options]     Claim delegator withdrawals after unbonding period
+   validator-info [options]      Get information about a validator
+   stake-info [options]          Get stake info for a delegator with a validator
+   epoch-info [options]          Get epoch info with timing estimates
+   active-validators [options]   List all active validators
+
+COMMON OPTIONS (all commands):
+   --network <network>           Network to use (localnet, testnet-asimov)
+   --rpc <rpcUrl>                RPC URL override
+   --staking-address <address>   Staking contract address override
+
+OPTIONS (validator-join):
+   --amount <amount>             Amount to stake (in wei or with 'gen' suffix)
+   --operator <address>          Operator address (defaults to signer)
+
+OPTIONS (delegator-join):
+   --validator <address>         Validator address to delegate to
+   --amount <amount>             Amount to stake (in wei or with 'gen' suffix)
+
+OPTIONS (exit commands):
+   --shares <shares>             Number of shares to withdraw
+   --validator <address>         Validator address (for delegator commands)
+
+EXAMPLES:
