.cursorrules Code Guidelines copy 1. **Verify Information**: Always verify information before presenting it. Do not make assumptions or speculate without clear evidence. 2. **File-by-File Changes**: Make changes file by file and give me a chance to spot mistakes. 3. **No Apologies**: Never use apologies. 4. **No Understanding Feedback**: Avoid giving feedback about understanding in comments or documentation. 5. **No Whitespace Suggestions**: Don't suggest whitespace changes. 6. **No Summaries**: Don't summarize changes made. 7. **No Inventions**: Don't invent changes other than what's explicitly requested. 8. **No Unnecessary Confirmations**: Don't ask for confirmation of information already provided in the context. 9. **Preserve Existing Code**: Don't remove unrelated code or functionalities. Pay attention to preserving existing structures. 10. **Single Chunk Edits**: Provide all edits in a single chunk instead of multiple-step instructions or explanations for the same file. 11. **No Implementation Checks**: Don't ask the user to verify implementations that are visible in the provided context. 12. **No Unnecessary Updates**: Don't suggest updates or changes to files when there are no actual modifications needed. 13. **Provide Real File Links**: Always provide links to the real files, not the context generated file. 14. **No Current Implementation**: Don't show or discuss the current implementation unless specifically requested. 15. **Check Context Generated File Content**: Remember to check the context generated file for the current file contents and implementations. 16. **Use Explicit Variable Names**: Prefer descriptive, explicit variable names over short, ambiguous ones to enhance code readability. 17. **Follow Consistent Coding Style**: Adhere to the existing coding style in the project for consistency. 18. **Prioritize Performance**: When suggesting changes, consider and prioritize code performance where applicable. 19. **Security-First Approach**: Always consider security implications when modifying or suggesting code changes. 20. **Test Coverage**: Suggest or include appropriate unit tests for new or modified code. 21. **Error Handling**: Implement robust error handling and logging where necessary. 22. **Modular Design**: Encourage modular design principles to improve code maintainability and reusability. 23. **Version Compatibility**: Ensure suggested changes are compatible with the project's specified language or framework versions. 24. **Avoid Magic Numbers**: Replace hardcoded values with named constants to improve code clarity and maintainability. 25. **Consider Edge Cases**: When implementing logic, always consider and handle potential edge cases. 26. **Use Assertions**: Include assertions wherever possible to validate assumptions and catch potential errors early.
