+# Frontend Conventions
+
+This document defines conventions for all frontend repos consuming Payload CMS via `@c2s/payload-contracts`.
+
+## Setup
+
+### Install Contracts Package (Git dependency)
+
+```json
+{
+  "dependencies": {
+    "@c2s/payload-contracts": "github:complexcaresolutions/payload-contracts"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+```bash
+pnpm install
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Every frontend needs these in `.env.local`:
+
+```env
+NEXT_PUBLIC_PAYLOAD_URL=https://cms.c2sgmbh.de
+NEXT_PUBLIC_TENANT_ID=<tenant-id>
+NEXT_PUBLIC_TENANT_SLUG=<tenant-slug>
+NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL=https://<domain>
+NODE_ENV=production
+```
+
+### API Client Initialization
+
+```typescript
+// src/lib/cms.ts
+import { createPayloadClient } from '@c2s/payload-contracts/api-client'
+
+export const cms = createPayloadClient({
+  baseUrl: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_PAYLOAD_URL!,
+  tenantId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_TENANT_ID!,
+})
+```
+
+### Block Renderer Setup
+
+```typescript
+// src/components/blocks/index.tsx
+import { createBlockRenderer } from '@c2s/payload-contracts/blocks'
+import { HeroBlock } from './HeroBlock'
+import { TextBlock } from './TextBlock'
+// ... import site-specific block components
+
+export const BlockRenderer = createBlockRenderer({
+  'hero-block': HeroBlock,
+  'text-block': TextBlock,
+  // Register only blocks this site uses
+})
+```
+
+## Git Workflow
+
+| Branch | Purpose | Deployment |
+|--------|---------|------------|
+| `develop` | Active development | Staging (sv-frontend) |
+| `main` | Production-ready | Plesk auto-deploy |
+
+### Commit Conventions
+
+```
+feat: add hero block component
+fix: correct image aspect ratio in card grid
+refactor: extract shared section header component
+```
+
+## TypeScript Standards
+
+- Strict mode enabled
+- Import types from `@c2s/payload-contracts`, never define CMS types locally
+- Use `BlockByType<'hero-block'>` for block component props
+- All API calls through the shared client, never raw `fetch` to CMS
+
+## Block Component Pattern
+
+```typescript
+// src/components/blocks/HeroBlock.tsx
+import type { BlockByType } from '@c2s/payload-contracts/types'
+import { getImageUrl } from '@c2s/payload-contracts/types'
+
+type Props = Omit<BlockByType<'hero-block'>, 'blockType'>
+
+export function HeroBlock({ title, subtitle, image, ctaButtons }: Props) {
+  const imageUrl = getImageUrl(image, 'xlarge')
+  // ... render
+}
+```
+
+## Updating Contracts
+
+When a work order arrives:
+
+1. `pnpm update @c2s/payload-contracts` (or `pnpm install` for Git deps)
+2. Check `node_modules/@c2s/payload-contracts/work-orders/` for instructions
+3. Implement changes
+4. `pnpm build` to verify types
+5. Commit and push to `develop`
+6. Test on staging
+7. Merge to `main` for production deploy
