1# Megarepo - AI Setup Repository
 
 
 
2 
3**ALWAYS follow these instructions first and only fallback to additional search and context gathering if the information here is incomplete or found to be in error.**
4 
5## Repository Overview
6 
7Megarepo is currently a minimal repository template designed for AI-related projects. The repository contains basic setup files and is configured for Node.js/Next.js development based on the .gitignore patterns.
8 
9## Current Repository State
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
10 
11**IMPORTANT**: This repository is currently in a minimal state with only basic setup files:
12- README.md (basic project description)
13- LICENSE (MIT license)
14- .gitignore (configured for Node.js/Next.js projects)
15 
16**DO NOT attempt to build, test, or run code** - there is no source code or build system present yet.
 
 
 
17 
18## Working Effectively
19 
20### Initial Repository Exploration
21```bash
22# Always start by understanding the current repository state
23ls -la
24git status
25find . -type f -name "*.json" -o -name "*.js" -o -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.md"
26```
27 
28### When Source Code is Added
 
 
 
 
29 
30The repository is pre-configured for Node.js/Next.js development. When source code is added, follow these patterns:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
31 
32#### Node.js/Next.js Project Setup
33```bash
34# Check for package.json first
35ls package.json
36 
37# If package.json exists, install dependencies
38npm install
39# NEVER CANCEL: npm install typically takes 2-5 minutes. Set timeout to 10+ minutes.
40 
41# Common build commands (verify these exist in package.json first)
42npm run build
43# NEVER CANCEL: Build may take 5-45 minutes depending on project size. Set timeout to 60+ minutes.
44 
45# Common test commands
46npm test
47# NEVER CANCEL: Tests may take 5-15 minutes. Set timeout to 30+ minutes.
48 
49# Common development server
50npm run dev
51```
52 
53#### Pre-commit Validation
54When source code exists, always run these before committing:
55```bash
56# Check for linting configuration
57ls .eslintrc* eslint.config.* .prettierrc*
58 
59# Run linting if configured
60npm run lint
 
 
 
61 
62# Run formatting if configured
63npm run format
64 
65# Run type checking if TypeScript
66npm run type-check
67```
68 
69## Repository Structure Expectations
70 
71Based on the .gitignore configuration, expect the following when the repository is populated:
72 
73```
74.
75├── README.md # Project documentation
76├── LICENSE # MIT license
77├── .gitignore # Node.js/Next.js ignore patterns
78├── package.json # Node.js dependencies and scripts
79├── package-lock.json # Dependency lockfile
80├── next.config.js # Next.js configuration (if Next.js)
81├── tsconfig.json # TypeScript configuration (if TypeScript)
82├── .eslintrc.* # ESLint configuration
83├── .prettierrc # Prettier configuration
84├── src/ # Source code directory
85│ ├── pages/ # Next.js pages (if Next.js)
86│ ├── components/ # React components
87│ └── utils/ # Utility functions
88├── public/ # Static assets
89├── .next/ # Next.js build output (ignored)
90├── build/ # Build output (ignored)
91└── node_modules/ # Dependencies (ignored)
92```
93 
94## Validation Requirements
95 
96### Before Making Changes
971. **Always check current repository state first**:
98 ```bash
99 git status
100 ls -la
101 cat package.json # Only if it exists
102 ```
103 
1042. **Verify build system exists before attempting builds**:
105 ```bash
106 # Check for package.json before running npm commands
107 test -f package.json && echo "Node.js project detected" || echo "No package.json found"
108 ```
109 
110### After Making Changes
1111. **When source code is present, always validate**:
112 ```bash
113 # Install dependencies if package.json exists
114 test -f package.json && npm install
115
116 # Build if build script exists
117 test -f package.json && npm run build
118
119 # Test if test script exists
120 test -f package.json && npm test
121
122 # Lint if lint script exists
123 test -f package.json && npm run lint
124 ```
125 
1262. **Manual validation scenarios when application exists**:
127 - Start the development server and verify it loads
128 - Test basic functionality by navigating through the application
129 - Verify any API endpoints respond correctly
130 - Check console for errors
131 
132## Common Commands Reference
133 
134### Repository Information
135```bash
136# View current files
137ls -la
138 
139# Check git status
140git status
141 
142# View repository structure
143tree . -a -I 'node_modules|.git' # If tree is available (use -a to show hidden files)
144find . -type f -not -path "./.git/*" -not -path "./node_modules/*" | sort
145```
146 
147### When Package.json Exists
148```bash
149# View available scripts
150cat package.json | grep -A 20 '"scripts"'
151 
152# Install dependencies
153npm install
154# TIMEOUT: 10+ minutes
155 
156# Common development commands (check package.json first)
157npm run dev # Development server
158npm run build # Production build
159npm run start # Start production server
160npm run test # Run tests
161npm run lint # Run linter
162npm run format # Format code
163```
164 
165## File Locations and Navigation
166 
167### Current Key Files
168- `/README.md` - Project overview and setup instructions
169- `/LICENSE` - MIT license terms
170- `/.gitignore` - Git ignore patterns (Node.js/Next.js focused)
171 
172### Expected Important Locations (when populated)
173- `/src/` - Main source code directory
174- `/src/pages/` - Next.js pages (if Next.js project)
175- `/src/components/` - React components
176- `/public/` - Static assets and files
177- `/package.json` - Project configuration and dependencies
178- `/next.config.js` - Next.js configuration
179- `/tsconfig.json` - TypeScript configuration
180 
181## AI Development Guidelines
182 
183Since this is an AI setup repository:
184 
1851. **Always verify AI-related dependencies** when they are added:
186 ```bash
187 # Common AI packages to look for
188 grep -E "(openai|langchain|tensorflow|pytorch|huggingface)" package.json
189 ```
190 
1912. **Environment variables for AI services**:
192 ```bash
193 # Check for environment configuration
194 ls .env* || echo "No environment files found"
195 ```
196 
1973. **API key management**:
198 - Never commit API keys
199 - Always use environment variables
200 - Check .env.example for required variables
201 
202## Troubleshooting
203 
204### Repository Appears Empty
205- This is expected in the current state
206- Check git branch: `git branch -a`
207- Look for other branches that might contain code
208 
209### Build Failures
210- First verify package.json exists: `ls package.json`
211- Clear dependencies and reinstall: `rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json && npm install`
212- Check Node.js version compatibility in package.json
213 
214### Development Server Issues
215- Verify port availability (typically 3000 for Next.js)
216- Check for environment variable requirements
217- Review console output for specific error messages
218 
219## Critical Reminders
220 
221- **NEVER CANCEL builds or long-running commands** - they may take 45+ minutes
222- **ALWAYS validate commands work** before assuming functionality exists
223- **CHECK for package.json** before running npm commands
224- **SET APPROPRIATE TIMEOUTS** - builds: 60+ minutes, tests: 30+ minutes
225- **VERIFY repository state** before attempting any operations

7 
8Guidelines and templates for effective AI prompt engineering. Use `@prompt-engineering` to include this rule.
9 
10## Prompt Engineering Best Practices
11 
12### 1. Prompt Structure Templates
13```typescript
14// System prompt template
15const SYSTEM_PROMPT = `
16You are an expert assistant specialized in [DOMAIN].
17Your responses should be:
18- Accurate and factual
19- Concise but comprehensive
20- Professional in tone
21- Focused on [SPECIFIC_GOAL]
22 
23Context: [CONTEXT_INFORMATION]
24`;
 
 
25 
26// User prompt template
27const createUserPrompt = (input: string, context?: string) => `
28Task: ${input}
29${context ? `Additional context: ${context}` : ''}
30 
31Please provide a response that follows the system guidelines.
32`;
 
 
 
 
 
 
33```
34 
35### 2. Prompt Versioning
36- Store prompts in separate configuration files
37- Version prompts for A/B testing
38- Track prompt performance and iterate
39- Document prompt changes and rationale
40 
41### 3. Dynamic Prompt Generation
42```typescript
43interface PromptConfig {
44 system: string;
45 temperature: number;
46 maxTokens: number;
47 stopSequences?: string[];
48}
49 
50const generatePrompt = (
51 task: string,
52 userInput: string,
53 config: PromptConfig
54) => {
55 // Build context-aware prompts
56 // Include relevant examples
57 // Optimize for token efficiency
58};
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
59```
60 
61### 4. Context Management
62- Implement conversation memory
63- Manage context window limits
64- Prioritize relevant information
65- Handle context overflow gracefully
66 
67### 5. Prompt Optimization Techniques
68- Use few-shot learning examples
69- Implement chain-of-thought prompting
70- Apply role-based prompting
71- Include output format specifications
72 
73### 6. Testing and Validation
74- Create test suites for prompt effectiveness
75- Measure response quality metrics
76- Compare different prompt versions
77- Monitor prompt performance in production
