+ * Generic base middleware factory that creates middleware to check resource access permissions.
+ * This middleware expects MongoDB ObjectIds as resource identifiers for ACL permission checks.
+ *
+ * @param {Object} options - Configuration options
+ * @param {string} options.resourceType - The type of resource (e.g., 'agent', 'file', 'project')
+ * @param {number} options.requiredPermission - The permission bit required (1=view, 2=edit, 4=delete, 8=share)
+ * @param {string} [options.resourceIdParam='resourceId'] - The name of the route parameter containing the resource ID
+ * @param {Function} [options.idResolver] - Optional function to resolve custom IDs to ObjectIds
+ * @returns {Function} Express middleware function
+ *
+ * @example
+ * // Direct usage with ObjectId (for resources that use MongoDB ObjectId in routes)
+ * router.get('/prompts/:promptId',
+ *   canAccessResource({ resourceType: 'prompt', requiredPermission: 1 }),
+ *   getPrompt
+ * );

+ * @example
+ * // Usage with custom ID resolver (for resources that use custom string IDs)

+# LibreChat Data Schemas Package
+
+This package provides the database schemas, models, types, and methods for LibreChat using Mongoose ODM.
+
+## 📁 Package Structure
+
+```
+packages/data-schemas/
+├── src/
+│   ├── schema/         # Mongoose schema definitions
+│   ├── models/         # Model factory functions
+│   ├── types/          # TypeScript type definitions
+│   ├── methods/        # Database operation methods
+│   ├── common/         # Shared constants and enums
+│   ├── config/         # Configuration files (winston, etc.)
+│   └── index.ts        # Main package exports
+```
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture Patterns
+
+### 1. Schema Files (`src/schema/`)
+
+Schema files define the Mongoose schema structure. They follow these conventions:
+
+- **Naming**: Use lowercase filenames (e.g., `user.ts`, `accessRole.ts`)
+- **Imports**: Import types from `~/types` for TypeScript support
+- **Exports**: Export only the schema as default
+
+**Example:**
+```typescript
+import { Schema } from 'mongoose';
+import type { IUser } from '~/types';
+
+const userSchema = new Schema<IUser>(
+  {
+    name: { type: String },
+    email: { type: String, required: true },
+    // ... other fields
+  },
+  { timestamps: true }
+);
+
+export default userSchema;
+```
+
+### 2. Type Definitions (`src/types/`)
+
+Type files define TypeScript interfaces and types. They follow these conventions:
+
+- **Base Type**: Define a plain type without Mongoose Document properties
+- **Document Interface**: Extend the base type with Document and `_id`
+- **Enums/Constants**: Place related enums in the type file or `common/` if shared
+
+**Example:**
+```typescript
+import type { Document, Types } from 'mongoose';
+
+export type User = {
+  name?: string;
+  email: string;
+  // ... other fields
+};
+
+export type IUser = User &
+  Document & {
+    _id: Types.ObjectId;
+  };
+```
+
+### 3. Model Factory Functions (`src/models/`)
+
+Model files create Mongoose models using factory functions. They follow these conventions:
+
+- **Function Name**: `create[EntityName]Model`
+- **Singleton Pattern**: Check if model exists before creating
+- **Type Safety**: Use the corresponding interface from types
+
+**Example:**
+```typescript
+import userSchema from '~/schema/user';
+import type * as t from '~/types';
+
+export function createUserModel(mongoose: typeof import('mongoose')) {
+  return mongoose.models.User || mongoose.model<t.IUser>('User', userSchema);
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Database Methods (`src/methods/`)
+
+Method files contain database operations for each entity. They follow these conventions:
+
+- **Function Name**: `create[EntityName]Methods`
+- **Return Type**: Export a type for the methods object
+- **Operations**: Include CRUD operations and entity-specific queries
+
+**Example:**
+```typescript
+import type { Model } from 'mongoose';
+import type { IUser } from '~/types';
+
+export function createUserMethods(mongoose: typeof import('mongoose')) {
+  async function findUserById(userId: string): Promise<IUser | null> {
+    const User = mongoose.models.User as Model<IUser>;
+    return await User.findById(userId).lean();
+  }
+
+  async function createUser(userData: Partial<IUser>): Promise<IUser> {
+    const User = mongoose.models.User as Model<IUser>;
+    return await User.create(userData);
+  }
+
+  return {
+    findUserById,
+    createUser,
+    // ... other methods
+  };
+}
+
+export type UserMethods = ReturnType<typeof createUserMethods>;
+```
+
+### 5. Main Exports (`src/index.ts`)
+
+The main index file exports:
+- `createModels()` - Factory function for all models
+- `createMethods()` - Factory function for all methods
+- Type exports from `~/types`
+- Shared utilities and constants
+
+## 🚀 Adding a New Entity
+
+To add a new entity to the data-schemas package, follow these steps:
+
+### Step 1: Create the Type Definition
+
+Create `src/types/[entityName].ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import type { Document, Types } from 'mongoose';
+
+export type EntityName = {
+  /** Field description */
+  fieldName: string;
+  // ... other fields
+};
+
+export type IEntityName = EntityName &
+  Document & {
+    _id: Types.ObjectId;
+  };
+```
+
+### Step 2: Update Types Index
+
+Add to `src/types/index.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+export * from './entityName';
+```
+
+### Step 3: Create the Schema
+
+Create `src/schema/[entityName].ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import { Schema } from 'mongoose';
+import type { IEntityName } from '~/types';
+
+const entityNameSchema = new Schema<IEntityName>(
+  {
+    fieldName: { type: String, required: true },
+    // ... other fields
+  },
+  { timestamps: true }
+);
+
+export default entityNameSchema;
+```
+
+### Step 4: Create the Model Factory
+
+Create `src/models/[entityName].ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import entityNameSchema from '~/schema/entityName';
+import type * as t from '~/types';
+
+export function createEntityNameModel(mongoose: typeof import('mongoose')) {
+  return (
+    mongoose.models.EntityName || 
+    mongoose.model<t.IEntityName>('EntityName', entityNameSchema)
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Step 5: Update Models Index
+
+Add to `src/models/index.ts`:
+
+1. Import the factory function:
+```typescript
+import { createEntityNameModel } from './entityName';
+```
+
+2. Add to the return object in `createModels()`:
+```typescript
+EntityName: createEntityNameModel(mongoose),
+```
+
+### Step 6: Create Database Methods
+
+Create `src/methods/[entityName].ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import type { Model, Types } from 'mongoose';
+import type { IEntityName } from '~/types';
+
+export function createEntityNameMethods(mongoose: typeof import('mongoose')) {
+  async function findEntityById(id: string | Types.ObjectId): Promise<IEntityName | null> {
+    const EntityName = mongoose.models.EntityName as Model<IEntityName>;
+    return await EntityName.findById(id).lean();
+  }
+
+  // ... other methods
+
+  return {
+    findEntityById,
+    // ... other methods
+  };
+}
+
+export type EntityNameMethods = ReturnType<typeof createEntityNameMethods>;
+```
+
+### Step 7: Update Methods Index
+
+Add to `src/methods/index.ts`:
+
+1. Import the methods:
+```typescript
+import { createEntityNameMethods, type EntityNameMethods } from './entityName';
+```
+
+2. Add to the return object in `createMethods()`:
+```typescript
+...createEntityNameMethods(mongoose),
+```
+
+3. Add to the `AllMethods` type:
+```typescript
+export type AllMethods = UserMethods &
+  // ... other methods
+  EntityNameMethods;
+```
+
+## 📝 Best Practices
+
+1. **Consistent Naming**: Use lowercase for filenames, PascalCase for types/interfaces
+2. **Type Safety**: Always use TypeScript types, avoid `any`
+3. **JSDoc Comments**: Document complex fields and methods
+4. **Indexes**: Define database indexes in schema files for query performance
+5. **Validation**: Use Mongoose schema validation for data integrity
+6. **Lean Queries**: Use `.lean()` for read operations when you don't need Mongoose document methods
+
+## 🔧 Common Patterns
+
+### Enums and Constants
+
+Place shared enums in `src/common/`:
+
+```typescript
+// src/common/permissions.ts
+export enum PermissionBits {
+  VIEW = 1,
+  EDIT = 2,
+  DELETE = 4,
+  SHARE = 8,
+}
+```
+
+### Compound Indexes
+
+For complex queries, add compound indexes:
+
+```typescript
+schema.index({ field1: 1, field2: 1 });
+schema.index(
+  { uniqueField: 1 },
+  { 
+    unique: true, 
+    partialFilterExpression: { uniqueField: { $exists: true } }
+  }
+);
+```
+
+### Virtual Properties
+
+Add computed properties using virtuals:
+
+```typescript
+schema.virtual('fullName').get(function() {
+  return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`;
+});
+```
+
+## 🧪 Testing
+
+When adding new entities, ensure:
+- Types compile without errors
+- Models can be created successfully
+- Methods handle edge cases (null checks, validation)
+- Indexes are properly defined for query patterns
