7- **Rule Improvement Triggers:**
8  - New code patterns not covered by existing rules
9  - Repeated similar implementations across files
10  - Common error patterns that could be prevented
11  - New libraries or tools being used consistently
12  - Emerging best practices in the codebase
13 
14- **Analysis Process:**
15  - Compare new code with existing rules
16  - Identify patterns that should be standardized
17  - Look for references to external documentation
18  - Check for consistent error handling patterns
19  - Monitor test patterns and coverage
20 
21- **Rule Updates:**
22  - **Add New Rules When:**
23    - A new technology/pattern is used in 3+ files
24    - Common bugs could be prevented by a rule
25    - Code reviews repeatedly mention the same feedback
26    - New security or performance patterns emerge
27 
28  - **Modify Existing Rules When:**
29    - Better examples exist in the codebase
30    - Additional edge cases are discovered
31    - Related rules have been updated
32    - Implementation details have changed
33 
34- **Example Pattern Recognition:**
35```typescript
36  // If you see repeated patterns like:
37  const data = await prisma.user.findMany({
38    select: { id: true, email: true },
39    where: { status: 'ACTIVE' }
40  });
41  
42  // Consider adding to [prisma.mdc](mdc:.cursor/rules/prisma.mdc):
43  // - Standard select fields
44  // - Common where conditions
45  // - Performance optimization patterns
46```
47 
48- **Rule Quality Checks:**
49  - Rules should be actionable and specific
50  - Examples should come from actual code
51  - References should be up to date
52  - Patterns should be consistently enforced
53 
54- **Continuous Improvement:**
55  - Monitor code review comments
56  - Track common development questions
57  - Update rules after major refactors
58  - Add links to relevant documentation
59  - Cross-reference related rules
60 
61- **Rule Deprecation:**
62  - Mark outdated patterns as deprecated
63  - Remove rules that no longer apply
64  - Update references to deprecated rules
65  - Document migration paths for old patterns
66 
67- **Documentation Updates:**
68  - Keep examples synchronized with code
69  - Update references to external docs
70  - Maintain links between related rules
71  - Document breaking changes
