AI Assistant Guide

This file provides guidance to AI coding assistants when working with code in this repository. Adherence to these guidelines is crucial for maintaining code quality and consistency.

Guiding Principles (MUST FOLLOW)

• Keep it clear: Write code that is easy to read, maintain, and explain.
• Match the house style: Reuse existing patterns, naming, and conventions.
• Search smart: Prefer ast-grep for semantic queries; fall back to rg/grep when needed.
• Log centrally: Route all logging through loggerService with the right context—no console.log.
• Research via subagent: Lean on subagent for external docs, APIs, news, and references.
• Always propose before executing: Before making any changes, clearly explain your planned approach and wait for explicit user approval to ensure alignment and prevent unwanted modifications.
• Write conventional commits with emoji: Commit small, focused changes using emoji-prefixed Conventional Commit messages (e.g., ✨ feat:, 🐛 fix:, ♻️ refactor:, 📝 docs:).

Development Commands

• Install: yarn install - Install all project dependencies
• Development: yarn dev - Runs Electron app in development mode with hot reload
• Debug: yarn debug - Starts with debugging enabled, use chrome://inspect to attach debugger
• Build Check: yarn build:check - REQUIRED before commits (lint + test + typecheck)
  • If having i18n sort issues, run yarn sync:i18n first to sync template
  • If having formatting issues, run yarn format first
• Test: yarn test - Run all tests (Vitest) across main and renderer processes
• Single Test:
  • yarn test:main - Run tests for main process only
  • yarn test:renderer - Run tests for renderer process only
• Lint: yarn lint - Fix linting issues and run TypeScript type checking
• Format: yarn format - Auto-format code using Biome

Project Architecture

Electron Structure

• Main Process (src/main/): Node.js backend with services (MCP, Knowledge, Storage, etc.)
• Renderer Process (src/renderer/): React UI with Redux state management
• Preload Scripts (src/preload/): Secure IPC bridge

Key Components

• AI Core (src/renderer/src/aiCore/): Middleware pipeline for multiple AI providers.
• Services (src/main/services/): MCPService, KnowledgeService, WindowService, etc.
• Build System: Electron-Vite with experimental rolldown-vite, yarn workspaces.
• State Management: Redux Toolkit (src/renderer/src/store/) for predictable state.

Logging

import { loggerService } from '@logger'
const logger = loggerService.withContext('moduleName')
// Renderer: loggerService.initWindowSource('windowName') first
logger.info('message', CONTEXT)
