Cline rules

1# Development Guidelines
2 
3## Basic Rules
4 
5- Follow Instructions
6  - Execute tasks as per defined requirements
7  - Report progress or issues proactively
8 
9- Autonomous Problem Solving
10  - Analyze and propose solutions when errors or problems occur
11  - Clearly state recommended options if multiple approaches exist
12  - Report issues that might be outside of the code
13 
14- Respect Existing Code
15  - Follow existing code style and patterns
16  - Explain if major changes are necessary
17 
18- Handling Repeated Failures
19  - If a test fails twice in a row, summarize the situation with reproduction steps, logs, and error messages, and report it
20  - Do not repeat the same action — always propose a solution
21 
22## Security
23 
24### Confidential Files
25 
26Do not read or modify the following under any circumstances
27 
28- .env file
29- Any file containing API keys, tokens, or credentials
30 
31If changes to confidential files are necessary, contact the project owner.
32 
33Also follow these security practices:
34 
35- Never commit confidential files
36- Use environment variables for secrets
37- Avoid logging sensitive data (auth/user info)
38 
39## Workflow
40 
41Follow these four steps during development:
42 
431. Requirements (PM Mode)
44   - Clarify and refine requirements
45   - Ask questions or make suggestions if needed
46 
472. Design (Architect Mode)
48   - Choose appropriate architecture or design patterns
49   - Design components, data flows, and use case diagrams
50 
513. Implementation (Code Mode)
52   - Write code based on the design
53   - Create unit tests
54     - Must be executable via Vitest
55     - 100% test coverage required for:
56       - statements
57       - branches
58       - functions
59       - lines
60     - Each function/component should be tested with mocked external dependencies
61 
624. Quality Check (PMO Mode)
63   - Code Review
64     - Lint/format checks (ESLint / Prettier)
65     - Validate user input properly
66     - Consider performance and security
67   - Requirement Verification
68 
69AI should make autonomous decisions to progress through these steps and deliver complete results in a single request whenever possible.
