| # General rules for AI | |
| - Prior to generating any code, carefully read the project conventions | |
| - Read [project-design.md](docs/project-design.md) to understand the codebase | |
| - Read [project-conventions.md](docs/project-conventions.md) to understand _how_ to write code for the codebase | |
| - Run `make lint` and `make test` after every change. `lint` in particular can be run very frequently. | |
| - When user starts a prompt with `QQ:` or `Question:`, just answer the question or prompt without producing code. | |
| - Prefer small testable steps, after each step give a summary to the user and summarize the next step | |
| - Maintain strict separation of concerns: Business logic MUST reside in the core library (`src/folio/`), not in interface layers (`src/focli/`). Interface layers should only handle user interaction, command parsing, and result presentation. | |
| - Use `.docs/` for temporary documentation such as project plans or logs | |
| ## Prohibited actions | |
| - Do not run `make folio`. This is for the user to run only. | |
| - Do not use `git` commands unless explicitly asked. | |
