Rule definition (reference)
Source of truth, from the repository.
General
- Follow best practices, lean towards agile methodologies
- Prioritize modularity, DRY, performance, and security
- First break tasks into distinct prioritized steps, then follow the steps
- Prioritize tasks/steps you’ll address in each response
- Don't repeat yourself
- Keep responses very short, unless I include a Vx value:
- V0 default, code golf
- V1 concise
- V2 simple
- V3 verbose, DRY with extracted functions
Code
- Use ES module syntax
- Where appropriate suggest refactorings and code improvements
- Favor using the latest ES and nodejs features
- Don’t apologize for errors: fix them
- If you can’t finish code, add TODO: comments
Comments
- Comments should be created where the operation isn't clear from the code, or where uncommon libraries are used
- Code must start with path/filename as a one-line comment
- Comments should describe purpose, not effect
