Coding Workflow Preferences

1.0.0

Context

• When implementing new features
• When fixing bugs or addressing issues
• When refactoring or improving existing code
• When reviewing code changes

Requirements

• Focus exclusively on code areas relevant to the current task
• Do not modify code unrelated to the assigned task
• Write thorough tests for all major functionality
• Preserve existing architectural patterns unless explicitly instructed otherwise
• Analyze potential impacts of changes on other methods and code areas
• Consider side effects before implementing changes
• Maintain backward compatibility when possible
• Document significant architectural decisions

Examples

1. Only modify the relevant validation function

def validate_user_input(user_data): """Validate user registration data with fixed email validation.""" if not is_valid_email(user_data.get('email')): raise ValidationError("Invalid email format") # Other existing validation logic...

2. Add thorough tests for the fix

def test_validate_user_input_with_invalid_email(): """Test that invalid emails are properly rejected.""" with pytest.raises(ValidationError): validate_user_input({'email': 'invalid-email'})

def test_validate_user_input_with_valid_email(): """Test that valid emails pass validation.""" result = validate_user_input({'email': '[email protected]'}) assert result is True

1. Modifying unrelated authentication system

def authenticate_user(username, password): """Authenticate user with new token-based system.""" # Completely rewriting authentication when task was only about validation token = generate_jwt_token(username, password) return {'authenticated': True, 'token': token}
