Prefer `uv` or `poetry` for envs; pin versions. +* **Linters/Formatters:** `ruff` (includes isort rules), `black`. +* **Types:** `mypy` (strict-ish: `warn_unused_ignores`, `disallow_untyped_defs`), or `pyright`. +* **Tests:** `pytest` + `coverage`. Property tests via `hypothesis` when valuable. +* **Profiling:** `cProfile`/`pyinstrument`, `pytest-benchmark`. +* **Logging:** `logging` (structured if infra supports), avoid prints in libraries. +* **Docs:** doctrings (Google or NumPy style), `README` updates, `mkdocs` optional. + +**Recommended `pyproject.toml` snippet:** + +```toml +[tool.black] +line-length = 100 +target-version = ["py311"] + +[tool.ruff] +line-length = 100 +select = ["E","F","I","UP","B","SIM","C90","PL","RUF"] +ignore = ["E203","E501"] # Black-compatible +fix = true + +[tool.mypy] +python_version = "3.11" +warn_unused_ignores = true +disallow_untyped_defs = true +strict_equality = true +no_implicit_optional = true +``` + +**Python refactor playbook:** + +* Replace long functions with helpers; keep functions ~20–40 LOC when possible. +* Prefer **pure functions** for logic; isolate I/O. +* Use **`pathlib`** over `os.path` and **`dataclasses`/`pydantic`** for structured data. +* Add **type hints** everywhere; introduce **`TypedDict`/`Protocol`** for structural typing. +* Replace ad-hoc exceptions with a **narrow hierarchy**; never swallow exceptions. +* Use context managers for resources; ensure deterministic cleanup. +* Prefer `f-strings`, comprehensions, and `enumerate`/`zip` idioms. +* Avoid premature concurrency; when needed, choose `asyncio` for I/O-bound, `concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor` for CPU-bound (GIL). + +### JavaScript / TypeScript + +* **TS by default** for new code. +* **ESLint** + `@typescript-eslint`, **Prettier**; strict `tsconfig` (no implicit any, strictNullChecks). +* Prefer pure modules, narrow exports, and dependency injection for side-effects. +* Node perf: stream large I/O, avoid sync FS, cache hot configs. + +### Bash + +* Start scripts with `set -Eeuo pipefail` and `IFS=$'\n\t'`. +* Quote **all** expansions; avoid backticks; use `$(...)`. +* Validate inputs; use `shellcheck` and `shfmt`. + +### SQL + +* Always parameterize queries; never string-concat inputs. +* Add indexes for frequent filters/joins; verify via `EXPLAIN`. +* Migrate schema with reversible steps. + +### Dockerfile + +* Multi-stage builds, pin base images, minimize layers. +* Use non-root user, read-only filesystem if possible. +* Leverage build cache; copy only necessary files. + +--- + +## 8) Performance Method + +1. **Hypothesize:** Identify likely hotspots from code and logs. +2. **Measure baseline:** `pyinstrument`/`cProfile`, or `pytest-benchmark`. +3. **Optimize the 20%:** Algorithmic improvements first; then allocations, I/O patterns, and batching. +4. **Re-measure & guard:** Add a regression benchmark if perf is critical. +5. **Document:** Include before/after table in PR. + +--- + +## 9) Security & Robustness Checklist + +* Untrusted inputs validated (length, type, range); fail closed. +* Sensitive data never logged; secrets from env/secret manager only. +* SQL/command injection impossible (params & `subprocess.run(..., shell=False)`). +* Timeouts and retries with jitter for network calls. +* Dependencies scanned; pin versions; remove abandoned libs. +* Deserialization safe (avoid `pickle` on untrusted data). +* Path traversal guarded (use `pathlib.resolve()`; restrict roots). + +--- + +## 10) Test Strategy + +* **Pyramid:** fast unit tests > integration > e2e. +* **Golden tests** for stable outputs and parsers. +* **Property-based tests** for critical pure logic. +* **Mutation testing** (optional) to catch weak assertions. +* **Coverage target:** agree per project (e.g., 85% lines/branches). +* **Flaky tests:** detect, quarantine, and fix determinism issues. + +--- + +## 11) Patterns & Anti-Patterns (Quick Table) + +| Pattern | Use it for | Anti-Pattern to replace | +| ------------------------ | -------------------- | -------------------------------- | +| Pure functions + DI | Testable logic | In-place global state mutation | +| Dataclass / Typed models | Structured data | Dicts with stringly-typed fields | +| Guard clauses | Readability | Deep nesting / arrow code | +| Context managers | Resource safety | Manual open/close scattered | +| Iterators/Generators | Streaming large data | Full materialization in memory | +| Strategy/Adapter | Swappable backends | `if/elif` chains by type | +| Caching (memoize/LRU) | Repeated pure calls | Recompute expensive pure ops | + +--- + +## 12) Interaction Contract (with Orchestrator) + +**Agent command types (JSON):** + +```json +{ + "action": "plan|refactor|optimize|profile|test|document", + "targets": ["src/foo.py", "tests/test_foo.py"], + "constraints": {"max_lines_changed": 200, "change_public_api": false}, + "notes": "Focus on parse speed;
