+# CMake Presets Quick Reference
+
+This document explains the reorganized CMake preset system for Yaze.
+
+## Design Principles
+
+1. **Short, memorable names** - No more `macos-dev-z3ed-ai`, just `mac-ai`
+2. **Warnings off by default** - Add `-v` suffix for verbose (e.g., `mac-dbg-v`)
+3. **Clear architecture support** - Explicit ARM64 and x86_64 presets
+4. **Platform prefixes** - `mac-`, `win-`, `lin-` for easy identification
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### macOS Development
+```bash
+# Most common: AI-enabled development
+cmake --preset mac-ai
+cmake --build --preset mac-ai
+
+# Basic debug build (no AI)
+cmake --preset mac-dbg
+cmake --build --preset mac-dbg
+
+# Verbose warnings for debugging
+cmake --preset mac-dbg-v
+cmake --build --preset mac-dbg-v
+
+# Release build
+cmake --preset mac-rel
+cmake --build --preset mac-rel
+```
+
+### Windows Development
+```bash
+# Debug build (x64)
+cmake --preset win-dbg
+cmake --build --preset win-dbg
+
+# AI-enabled development
+cmake --preset win-ai
+cmake --build --preset win-ai
+
+# ARM64 support
+cmake --preset win-arm
+cmake --build --preset win-arm
+```
+
+## All Presets
+
+### macOS Presets
+
+| Preset | Description | Arch | Warnings | Features |
+|--------|-------------|------|----------|----------|
+| `mac-dbg` | Debug build | ARM64 | Off | Basic |
+| `mac-dbg-v` | Debug verbose | ARM64 | On | Basic |
+| `mac-rel` | Release | ARM64 | Off | Basic |
+| `mac-x64` | Debug x86_64 | x86_64 | Off | Basic |
+| `mac-uni` | Universal binary | Both | Off | Basic |
+| `mac-dev` | Development | ARM64 | Off | ROM tests |
+| `mac-ai` | AI development | ARM64 | Off | z3ed, JSON, gRPC, ROM tests |
+| `mac-z3ed` | z3ed CLI | ARM64 | Off | AI agent support |
+| `mac-rooms` | Dungeon editor | ARM64 | Off | Minimal build for room editing |
+
+### Windows Presets
+
+| Preset | Description | Arch | Warnings | Features |
+|--------|-------------|------|----------|----------|
+| `win-dbg` | Debug build | x64 | Off | Basic |
+| `win-dbg-v` | Debug verbose | x64 | On | Basic |
+| `win-rel` | Release | x64 | Off | Basic |
+| `win-arm` | Debug ARM64 | ARM64 | Off | Basic |
+| `win-arm-rel` | Release ARM64 | ARM64 | Off | Basic |
+| `win-dev` | Development | x64 | Off | ROM tests |
+| `win-ai` | AI development | x64 | Off | z3ed, JSON, gRPC, ROM tests |
+| `win-z3ed` | z3ed CLI | x64 | Off | AI agent support |
+
+### Linux Presets
+
+| Preset | Description | Compiler | Warnings |
+|--------|-------------|----------|----------|
+| `lin-dbg` | Debug | GCC | Off |
+| `lin-clang` | Debug | Clang | Off |
+
+### Special Purpose
+
+| Preset | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `ci` | Continuous integration (no ROM tests) |
+| `asan` | AddressSanitizer build |
+| `coverage` | Code coverage build |
+
+## Warning Control
+
+By default, all presets suppress compiler warnings with `-w` for a cleaner build experience.
+
+### To Enable Verbose Warnings:
+
+1. Use a preset with `-v` suffix (e.g., `mac-dbg-v`, `win-dbg-v`)
+2. Or set `YAZE_SUPPRESS_WARNINGS=OFF` manually:
+   ```bash
+   cmake --preset mac-dbg -DYAZE_SUPPRESS_WARNINGS=OFF
+   ```
+
+## Architecture Support
+
+### macOS
+- **ARM64 (Apple Silicon)**: `mac-dbg`, `mac-rel`, `mac-ai`, etc.
+- **x86_64 (Intel)**: `mac-x64`
+- **Universal Binary**: `mac-uni` (both ARM64 + x86_64)
+
+### Windows
+- **x64**: `win-dbg`, `win-rel`, `win-ai`, etc.
+- **ARM64**: `win-arm`, `win-arm-rel`
+
+## Build Directories
+
+Most presets use `build/` directory. Exceptions:
+- `mac-rooms`: Uses `build_rooms/` to avoid conflicts
+
+## Feature Flags
+
+Common CMake options you can override:
+
+```bash
+# Enable/disable components
+-DYAZE_BUILD_TESTS=ON/OFF
+-DYAZE_BUILD_Z3ED=ON/OFF
+-DYAZE_BUILD_EMU=ON/OFF
+-DYAZE_BUILD_APP=ON/OFF
+
+# AI features
+-DZ3ED_AI=ON/OFF
+-DYAZE_WITH_JSON=ON/OFF
+-DYAZE_WITH_GRPC=ON/OFF
+
+# Testing
+-DYAZE_ENABLE_ROM_TESTS=ON/OFF
+-DYAZE_TEST_ROM_PATH=/path/to/zelda3.sfc
+
+# Build optimization
+-DYAZE_MINIMAL_BUILD=ON/OFF
+-DYAZE_USE_MODULAR_BUILD=ON/OFF
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Development with AI features and verbose warnings
+```bash
+cmake --preset mac-dbg-v -DZ3ED_AI=ON -DYAZE_WITH_GRPC=ON
+cmake --build --preset mac-dbg-v
+```
+
+### Release build for distribution (macOS Universal)
+```bash
+cmake --preset mac-uni
+cmake --build --preset mac-uni
+cpack --preset mac-uni
+```
+
+### Quick minimal build for testing
+```bash
+cmake --preset mac-dbg -DYAZE_MINIMAL_BUILD=ON
+cmake --build --preset mac-dbg -j12
+```
+
+## Updating compile_commands.json
+
+After configuring with a new preset, copy the compile commands for IDE support:
+
+```bash
+cp build/compile_commands.json .
+```
+
+This ensures clangd and other LSP servers can find headers and understand build flags.
+
+## Migration from Old Presets
+
+Old preset names have been simplified:
+
+| Old Name | New Name |
+|----------|----------|
+| `macos-dev-z3ed-ai` | `mac-ai` |
+| `macos-debug` | `mac-dbg` |
+| `macos-release` | `mac-rel` |
+| `macos-debug-universal` | `mac-uni` |
+| `macos-dungeon-dev` | `mac-rooms` |
+| `windows-debug` | `win-dbg` |
+| `windows-release` | `win-rel` |
+| `windows-arm64-debug` | `win-arm` |
+| `linux-debug` | `lin-dbg` |
+| `linux-clang` | `lin-clang` |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Warnings are still showing
+- Make sure you're using a preset without `-v` suffix
+- Check `cmake` output for `✓ Warnings suppressed` message
+- Reconfigure and rebuild: `rm -rf build && cmake --preset mac-dbg`
+
+### clangd can't find nlohmann/json
+- Run `cmake --preset <your-preset>` to regenerate compile_commands.json
+- Copy to root: `cp build/compile_commands.json .`
+- Restart your IDE or LSP server
+
+### Build fails with missing dependencies
+- Ensure submodules are initialized: `git submodule update --init --recursive`
+- For AI features, make sure you have OpenSSL: `brew install openssl` (macOS)
