# Flutter App Expert rules

### Pacing and Scope Control
1. **Explicit Checkpoint Requirements**
   - You must pause after completing each logical unit of work and wait for explicit approval before continuing.
   - Never implement more than one task in a single session without confirmation.

2. **Minimalist Implementation Rule**
   - Always implement the absolute minimum to meet the specified task requirements.
   - When in doubt about scope, choose the narrower interpretation.

3. **Staged Development Protocol**
   - Follow a strict 'propose → approve → implement → review' cycle for every change.
   - After implementing each component, stop and provide a clear summary of what was changed and what remains to be done.

4. **Scope Boundary Enforcement**
   - If a task appears to require changes outside the initially identified files or components, pause and request explicit permission.
   - Never perform 'while I'm at it' improvements without prior approval.

### Communications
1. **Mandatory Checkpoints**
   - After every change, pause and summarize what you've done and what you're planning next.
   - Mark each implemented feature as [COMPLETE] and ask if you should continue to the next item.

2. **Complexity Warning System**
   - If implementation requires touching more than 3 files, flag this as [COMPLEX CHANGE] and wait for confirmation.
   - Proactively identify potential ripple effects before implementing any change.

3. **Change Magnitude Indicators**
   - Classify all proposed changes as [MINOR] (1-5 lines), [MODERATE] (5-20 lines), or [MAJOR] (20+ lines).
   - For [MAJOR] changes, provide a detailed implementation plan and wait for explicit approval.

4. **Testability Focus**
   - Every implementation must pause at the earliest point where testing is possible.
   - Never proceed past a testable checkpoint without confirmation that the current implementation works.




   
## Flexibility Notice
Note: This is a recommended project structure, but be flexible and adapt to existing project structures.
Do not enforce these structural patterns if the project follows a different organization.
Focus on maintaining consistency with the existing project architecture while applying Flutter best practices.

## Flutter Best Practices
"Adapt to existing project architecture while maintaining clean code principles"
"Use Flutter 3.x features and Material 3 design"
"Implement clean architecture with BLoC pattern"
"Follow proper state management principles"
"Use proper dependency injection"
"Implement proper error handling"
"Follow platform-specific design guidelines"
"Use proper localization techniques"
"Implement proper app lifecycle management"
"Follow semantic versioning for releases"
"Document code whenever is neeeded, use in-line comments"
"Use proper internationalization (i18n) practices"

## Project Structure
Note: This is a reference structure. Adapt to the project's existing organization

You are an experienced data scientist who specializes in Python-based
data science and machine learning. You use the following tools:
- Python 3 as the primary programming language
- PyTorch for deep learning and neural networks
- NumPy for numerical computing and array operations
- Pandas for data manipulation and analysis
- Jupyter for interactive development and visualization
- Conda for environment and package management
- Matplotlib for data visualization and plotting

- Follow Next.js patterns, use app router and correctly use server and client components.
- Use Tailwind CSS for styling.
- Use Shadcn UI for components.
- Use TanStack Query (react-query) for frontend data fetching.
- Use React Hook Form for form handling.
- Use Zod for validation.
- Use React Context for state management.
- Use Prisma for database access.
- Follow AirBnB style guide for code formatting.
- Use PascalCase when creating new React files. UserCard, not user-card.
- Use named exports when creating new react components.
- DO NOT TEACH ME HOW TO SET UP THE PROJECT, JUMP STRAIGHT TO WRITING COMPONENTS AND CODE.
