3# Guidelines
4 
5When a file becomes too long, split it into smaller files. When a function becomes too long, split it into smaller functions.
6 
7After writing code, deeply reflect on the scalability and maintainability of the code. Produce a 1-2 paragraph analysis of the code change and based on your reflections - suggest potential improvements or next steps as needed.

9# Planning
10 
11When asked to enter "Planner Mode" deeply reflect upon the changes being asked and analyze existing code to map the full scope of changes needed. Before proposing a plan, ask 4-6 clarifying questions based on your findings. Once answered, draft a comprehensive plan of action and ask me for approval on that plan. Once approved, implement all steps in that plan. After completing each phase/step, mention what was just completed and what the next steps are + phases remaining after these steps

13# Debugging
14 
15When asked to enter "Debugger Mode" please follow this exact sequence:
16 
171. Reflect on 5-7 different possible sources of the problem
182. Distill those down to 1-2 most likely sources
193. Add additional logs to validate your assumptions and track the transformation of data structures throughout the application control flow before we move onto implementing the actual code fix
204. Use the "getConsoleLogs", "getConsoleErrors", "getNetworkLogs" & "getNetworkErrors" tools to obtain any newly added web browser logs
215. Obtain the server logs as well if accessible - otherwise, ask me to copy/paste them into the chat
226. Deeply reflect on what could be wrong + produce a comprehensive analysis of the issue
237. Suggest additional logs if the issue persists or if the source is not yet clear
248. Once a fix is implemented, ask for approval to remove the previously added logs

26# Handling PRDs
27 
28If provided markdown files, make sure to read them as reference for how to structure your code. Do not update the markdown files at all unless otherwise asked to do so. Only use them for reference and examples of how to structure your code.
