## Architecture

### Project Structure: Single Package

This project uses **hybrid** module organization.

### Configuration Files

- `.github/workflows/ci.yml`
- `.github/workflows/maintenance.yml`
- `.github/workflows/monthly-metrics.yml`
- `.github/workflows/release.yml`
- `.github/workflows/reusable-release.yml`
- `.github/workflows/reusable-test.yml`
- `.github/workflows/reusable-validate.yml`
- `.opencode/package.json`
- `.opencode/tsconfig.json`
- `.prettierrc`
- `eslint.config.js`
- `package.json`

### Guidelines

- This project uses a hybrid organization
- Follow existing patterns when adding new code

## Code Style

### Language: JavaScript

### Naming Conventions

| Element | Convention |
|---------|------------|
| Files | camelCase |
| Functions | camelCase |
| Classes | PascalCase |
| Constants | SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE |

### Import Style: Relative Imports

### Export Style: Mixed Style


*Preferred import style*

```typescript
// Use relative imports
import { Button } from '../components/Button'
import { useAuth } from './hooks/useAuth'
```

## Testing

### Test Framework

No specific test framework detected — use the repository's existing test patterns.

### File Pattern: `*.test.js`

### Test Types

- **Unit tests**: Test individual functions and components in isolation
- **Integration tests**: Test interactions between multiple components/services

### Coverage

This project has coverage reporting configured. Aim for 80%+ coverage.


## Error Handling

### Error Handling Style: Try-Catch Blocks


*Standard error handling pattern*

```typescript
try {
  const result = await riskyOperation()
  return result
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Operation failed:', error)
  throw new Error('User-friendly message')
}
```

## Common Workflows

These workflows were detected from analyzing commit patterns.

```

### Add Language Rules

Adds a new programming language to the rules system, including coding style, hooks, patterns, security, and testing guidelines.

**Frequency**: ~2 times per month

**Steps**:
1. Create a new directory under rules/{language}/
2. Add coding-style.md, hooks.md, patterns.md, security.md, and testing.md files with language-specific content
3. Optionally reference or link to related skills

**Files typically involved**:

```

### Add New Skill

Adds a new skill to the system, documenting its workflow, triggers, and usage, often with supporting scripts.

**Frequency**: ~4 times per month

**Steps**:
1. Create a new directory under skills/{skill-name}/
2. Add SKILL.md with documentation (When to Use, How It Works, Examples, etc.)

**Example commit sequence**:
```
Create or update the canonical skill under skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md
Only if needed, add or update commands/{command-name}.md as a compatibility shim
```

### Sync Catalog Counts

Synchronizes the documented counts of agents, skills, and commands in AGENTS.md and README.md with the actual repository state.

**Frequency**: ~3 times per month

**Steps**:
1. Update agent, skill, and command counts in AGENTS.md

## Best Practices

Based on analysis of the codebase, follow these practices:

### Do

- Use conventional commit format (feat:, fix:, etc.)
- Follow *.test.js naming pattern
- Use camelCase for file names
- Prefer mixed exports

### Don't

- Don't write vague commit messages
- Don't skip tests for new features
- Don't deviate from established patterns without discussion
