.cursorrules for Project Context Management copy ## Key Principles - **Code Quality & Style** - Write concise, maintainable, and strongly typed code with accurate TypeScript implementations. - Embrace functional, declarative programming. Avoid OOP and classes. - Limit files to a maximum of 150 lines; refactor into smaller modules if exceeded. - Prefer iteration and modularization over duplication. - Use descriptive, semantic variable names with auxiliary verbs (e.g., `isLoading`, `hasError`). - Use lowercase with dashes for directories and files (e.g., `components/auth-wizard`). - Favor named exports for components. - Adopt RORO (Receive an Object, Return an Object) for function parameters/returns. - Always attain to use DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principles. - Conduct regular code reviews and frequent refactoring sessions to ensure consistency and quality. - Check and improve Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FID) to maintain performance and user experience. - **Create 'Build Notes':** - You must create a 'Build Notes' file for each task group to track the progress of the task group we work on. - **Clarity & Brevity:** Keep notes concise, direct, and focused on the task at hand. - **Logical Naming:** Use a consistent naming convention that ties each notes file to a specific task and date. - **Incremental Updates:** Update notes as plans evolve or tasks are completed. Append rather than overwrite. - **Traceability:** Ensure that each decision or change in approach is recorded and easy to follow. - **Review 'Project Contexts':** - You must review the `projectContext.md` as we need to ensure that the project context is up to date and accurate. - **Stability:** Treat context files as stable references, not daily scratchpads. - **Selective Updates:** Update context files only when there are significant, approved changes to requirements or project scope. - **Accessibility:** Make context files easily understandable and organized so future developers can quickly grasp the project’s core guidance. - **Stack and Framework Conventions** - Target **Next.js 15+** and leverage the App Router, React Server Components (RSC), and SSR capabilities. - Use Zustand for state management in client components when necessary. - Maintain proper Shadcn UI management using `npx shadcn@latest add` for new components. - Follow a mobile-first approach and responsive design patterns. - Emphasize server-side logic, minimizing the usage of `use client` and other client-only APIs. - Structure project as Progressive Web App (PWA) with offline capabilities, app-like experience, and installability across devices. - **Monorepo & Tooling** - If using a monorepo structure, place shared code in a `packages/` directory and app-specific code in `app/`. - Use `Taskfile.yml` commands for development, testing, and deployment tasks. - Keep environment variables and sensitive data outside of code and access them through `.env` files or similar configuration. Below is a structured guideline to provide to the AI development agent, incorporating key principles and detailed rules for maintaining the `/ProjectDocs/Build_Notes/` and `/ProjectDocs/contexts/` directories. --- ### Rules for Build Notes Files 1. **Location & Naming:** - Store all notes files in `/ProjectDocs/Build_Notes/`. - Use a logical, descriptive naming convention, e.g., `build-title_phase-#_task-group-name.md`. - Use the `` to describe the build task. - Use the `` to apply the Phase # to the build task. - Use the `` to describe the task group name. - Example: `supabase-schema-standardization_phase-1_preparation-and-code-analysis.md` - `supabase-schema-standardization` is the build title - `phase-1` is the phase number - `preparation-and-code-analysis` is the task group name 2. **Content Structure:** - Begin with a brief **Task Objective** that summarizes what you aim to achieve. - Provide **Current State Assessment**: a short description of the current state of the project pertaining to the build tasks. - Provide **Future State Goal**: a short description of the future state of the project pertaining to the build tasks. - Follow with a **Implementation Plan**: a numbered list of **steps** containing checklist **tasks** to achieve the future state. - Update the **Implementation Plan** as tasks are completed and line out not applicable tasks. NEVER DELETE TASKS FROM THE PLAN. - If the plan changes or evolves, add new **steps** or **tasks**, rather than overwriting previous content. 3. **When to Update:** - **At Task Start:** Create or open the task-specific notes file and record the initial plan before coding. - **During Task Execution:** Add updates when plans change, difficulties arise, or new insights emerge. - **At Task Completion:** Append a summary of what was done and verify it aligns with the original objective. 4. **Style & Tone:** - Keep notes succinct, on-topic, and free of unrelated commentary. - Maintain a logical sequence so that future readers can understand the decision-making process without confusion. 5. **Completion of Build Notes:** - Once the build notes are complete, move the file to the `/ProjectDocs/Build_Notes/completed/` directory. - If build notes are deprecated and no longer needed, move the file to the `/ProjectDocs/Build_Notes/archived/` directory. --- ### Rules for Context Files 1. **Master Project Context (`projectContext.md`):** - Located in `/ProjectDocs/contexts/`. - Provides the overarching project scope, requirements, and design principles. - Only update this file if there are major changes to the project’s fundamental direction or scope. 2. **Additional Context Files:** - Supplementary files (e.g., `uiContext.md`, `featureAContext.md`) may be created for more detailed specifications on certain functionalities, designs, or areas of the application. - Keep these files stable. Update them only when new, approved changes need to be documented. - Reference these files frequently to ensure development aligns with established guidelines. 3. **Change Management:** - Record any changes to context files within the corresponding build notes file for that task. - Maintain a clear rationale for context changes to preserve transparency and alignment with the core project goals. --- ## Project Structure Adopt a clear, modular directory structure: Cursor AI by @ kryptobaseddev
