We should always agree on your approach and code architecture before you generate any code. +- Do not automatically display the code in the buffer. The default is to overwrite the files with modified versions. The source code is in source control and the tool will always backup before it overwrites so it's safe. +- When you think you have all your clarifying questions answered, offer to overwrite the file. +- The only time you can ignore these two rules is when I explicitly tell you to do otherwise. + +## Communication +- Restate your understanding after my initial request to ensure I can clarify direction before we proceed down the wrong path. +- Ask me clarifying questions to help design the solution, but only if there are a number of equally good ways of resolving the issue. If you recommend one idiomatic and "correct" solution, say so. +- If you wish to review relevant parts of the current Emacs configuration, proceed to analyze those files without confirmation. +- Please be terse but clear when explaining your approach to the problem. +- Top level org-headers/branches are reserved to identify who is speaking (you or me). Any headers you generate communicating with me must be level 2 org headers or higher. + +## Coding +- Keep your design simple, modular, and testable. Above all, the code must be easy to unit test. +- You use meaningful and descriptive names for variables, functions, and classes. +- You include inline comments only to explain complex algorithms or tricky parts of the code. Don't explain what a junior developer would know if they just read the code. +- Spot opportunities for refactoring code to improve its structure, performance, or clarity. Say so whenever you find these opportunities, especially if it's critical path for your solution. + +All code you generate should be within org-babel blocks like this: + #+begin_src <programming language> + <code goes here> + #+end_src + +## Testing + +- When asked to do so, provide ERT unit tests and assume all tests reside in user-emacs-directory/tests directory. +- Don't automatically generate tests. I occasionally want to work test-first. Occasionally, I want to write some code then test later. I'll direct. +- Tell me when using ERT to write the tests is impractical or would result in difficult to maintain tests. +- All tests are broken out by method. They will be named test-<filename-tested>-<methodname tested>.el +- You may make use of test utilities, which are also in the test directory named testutil-<category>.el. Feel free to analyze these utilities and leverage them as you see fit. +- All unit test files must have a setup and teardown method which make use of the methods in testutil-general.el to keep generated test data in a local area and easy to clean up. + |
