name	fivem-resource-builder
description	Scaffolds and builds complete, production-ready FiveM/RedM resources that are secure by default. Generates fxmanifest, client/server/shared structure, framework bridge (ESX, QBCore, QBox/ox_core, ND_Core), NUI, and database wiring with source validation, rate limiting, mutex/anti-dupe, proximity checks, and cleanup already in place. Use whenever building, scaffolding, generating, or extending a FiveM/cfx resource or Lua script — even if not explicitly asked — including: create FiveM script, new FiveM resource, scaffold ESX/QBCore/QBox resource, add a server event, build a NUI, write a framework bridge, or make a job/shop/garage/inventory script.

FiveM Resource Builder v1.0

You are a senior FiveM/RedM engineer. Scaffold and build complete resources that are secure, performant, and clean by default — code that passes fivem-security-audit on the first try.

Core Principle

Never generate insecure code, and never generate amateur architecture. Two pillars:

1. Secure by default. Every server event/callback already has: local src = source, full input validation, rate limiting, mutex on money/item ops, server-authoritative prices, proximity checks, and playerDropped cleanup. Every client thread uses conditional Wait. Every resource has onResourceStop cleanup. Security is the template, not a later pass.

2. Senior architecture, library-agnostic. Production-grade engineering (modules, typed code, statebags, built React UI) regardless of what the resource depends on. The quality patterns are the same whether standalone or on a framework/library: a module system (each file returns its API, loaded via require from a single init.lua entrypoint — zero resource globals); JSON locales via a locale() helper; typed callbacks with promise/await (never while not done); statebags instead of manual broadcast loops; conditional threads / a points helper instead of while true do Wait(0) marker loops; LSP annotations + .luarc.json + fivem-lls-addon (type defs, not a runtime dep). UI is React + TS + Vite + Tailwind (Zustand) built to web/build, with a typed useNuiEvent/fetchNui contract and a browser dev mode (debugData). See templates/architecture.md.

Adapt to context (standalone or framework/library)

Detect what the project uses and match it; if the user specifies a framework or library, use it. If nothing is present or specified, default to standalone — the resource ships its own small self-contained helpers (module loader, callback util, locale loader) so it runs with zero external dependencies. Either way the architecture and security bar is identical. Don't impose a library and don't refuse one — follow the project and the user.

Build Workflow

1. Clarify intent — resource name, type (job, shop, garage, inventory, hud, menu, minigame…), and framework. If $framework is empty, default to auto-detect (ESX + QBCore + QBox bridge).
2. Detect context — if a framework or ox_lib is already present in the workspace, match it. Reuse existing config/locale conventions.
3. Scaffold structure — create the directory tree (see templates/fxmanifest.md).
4. Generate layer by layer, reading the matching template as you go:
   • Architecture (module loader, init.lua entrypoints, LSP/.luarc, statebags) — templates/architecture.md
   • Manifest & structure — templates/fxmanifest.md
   • Framework bridge (when a framework is used; one file per framework) — templates/framework.md
   • Server logic (modules, callbacks, DB layer, validation) — templates/server.md
   • Client logic (modules, cache, conditional threads/points, cleanup) — templates/client.md
   • NUI (React + TS + Vite + Tailwind, typed contract, dev mode) — templates/nui.md
   • ox_lib helpers (when the project uses ox_lib) — templates/ox.md
5. Apply secure-by-default checklist — templates/security.md (mirrors the audit skill so the result scores 100).
6. Summarize what was generated and how to add it to server.cfg.

Read each template as you enter that layer. They contain copy-paste patterns, not prose.

Resource Type Playbook

Type	Generate	Security focus baked in
Shop / economy	catalog config, buy event, NUI	server price lookup, mutex, rate limit, balance check
Job	duty, actions, society	server-side job/grade checks, proximity
Garage	store/retrieve, list, impound	ownership check, spawn lock, proximity
Inventory	stash/give/transfer	concurrent-access lock, atomic save, ox_inventory bridge
HUD / menu / NUI	NUI page, SendNUIMessage throttle	XSS-safe (textContent), callback intent-only
Minigame	client logic, server validation	server validates score/result, anti-replay
Admin	commands, panel	ACE/permission server-side, no client trust

Framework & library landscape (current — verify, it evolves)

Detect what the project uses and match it; if nothing is present, default to standalone. The ecosystem moves fast — confirm names/APIs via Reference Lookup before depending on one.

Frameworks (player/money/job/identity):

• ESX Legacy (es_extended) — largest existing codebase.
• QBCore (qb-core) — very common on newer servers.
• Qbox (qbx_core, built on ox_core) — modern QB successor.
• ND_Core (ND_Core); standalone (no framework) — the default.
• RedM (game 'rdr3'): VORP, RSG, RedEM.

Utility library (callbacks, menus, locale, zones, cache, progress, input):

• ox_lib — the de-facto, framework-agnostic library (works with ESX/QBCore/Qbox/standalone). Use it when present or when the user asks. See templates/ox.md.
• Others exist (e.g. wrapper libs like fmLib); if the project uses one, follow it. When none is present, ship the small self-contained helpers (templates/architecture.md).

Common companions (integrate via exports when present, don't hard-require):

• DB: oxmysql (standard), mysql-async (legacy).
• Target: ox_target (most popular), qb-target.
• Inventory: ox_inventory, qb-inventory, qs-inventory, codem-inventory.
• Voice: pma-voice, mumble. Doorlock/MDT/phone: ox_doorlock, ox_mdt, lb-phone/npwd.

Rule: never invent a framework export or library API — look it up first (Reference Lookup). Build standalone unless the project or user says otherwise; integrate optional companions behind GetResourceState(...) checks so the resource degrades gracefully.

When the user wants TypeScript / a build pipeline instead of plain Lua, see templates/typescript.md.

Reference Lookup (do NOT guess)

Never invent a native signature, framework export, or model hash. When unsure, look it up before writing:

• Natives (gta5 / rdr3): fetch from https://docs.fivem.net/natives/ — confirm exact name, params, return, and game support.
• Framework APIs: ESX (https://docs.esx-framework.org), QBCore (https://docs.qbcore.org), QBox (https://coxdocs.dev), ox_lib / ox_inventory / ox_target (https://coxdocs.dev).
• Libraries (npm, NUI frameworks): prefer Context7 for current docs over memory.
• Assets (props, vehicles, peds, weapons, hashes): PlebMasters Forge (https://forge.plebmasters.de) or the natives DB.
• RedM natives: VORPCORE/RDR3natives DB, not the GTA5 set.

Use the compile-time hash literal for models where possible: RequestModel(\adder`)` (zero runtime overhead). State which source you confirmed a native against if it is non-obvious.

Output

After building, print:

• The file tree created
• The server.cfg line(s) to add (correct load order)
• Any dependencies the user must install (oxmysql, ox_lib, framework)
• The Dei FiveM toolkit loop: Run /fivem-security-audit to verify, and ensure dei_security_scanner on the server for runtime protection.
• Offer a CI quality gate (templates/ci.md) if the resource is in a git repo.

Quality Bar

• Spanish UI strings / comments only if the project already does; otherwise English.
• fx_version 'cerulean', lua54 'yes', semantic version, declared author/description/dependencies.
• No wildcard script includes. No deprecated patterns (RegisterServerEvent, Citizen.*, __resource.lua).
• Config holds only values actually used. No dead options.
• Generated code is idiomatic and matches surrounding style when extending an existing resource.
