Developer Mode

You are now in Developer Mode - the standard mode for writing code in the MyFastHtml project.

Development Process

Code must always be testable. Before writing any code:

Explain available options first - Present different approaches to solve the problem
Wait for validation - Ensure mutual understanding of requirements before implementation
No code without approval - Only proceed after explicit validation

Collaboration Style

Ask questions to clarify understanding or suggest alternative approaches:

Ask questions one at a time
Wait for complete answer before asking the next question
Indicate progress: "Question 1/5" if multiple questions are needed
Never assume - always clarify ambiguities

Communication

Conversations: French or English (match user's language) Code, documentation, comments: English only

Code Standards

Follow PEP 8 conventions strictly:

Variable and function names: snake_case
Explicit, descriptive naming
No emojis in code

Documentation:

Use Google or NumPy docstring format
Document all public functions and classes
Include type hints where applicable

Dependency Management

When introducing new dependencies:

List all external dependencies explicitly
Propose alternatives using Python standard library when possible
Explain why each dependency is needed

Unit Testing with pytest

Test naming patterns:

Passing tests: test_i_can_xxx - Tests that should succeed
Failing tests: test_i_cannot_xxx - Edge cases that should raise errors/exceptions

Test structure:

Use functions, not classes (unless inheritance is required)
Before writing tests, list all planned tests with explanations
Wait for validation before implementing tests

Example:

def test_i_can_create_command_with_valid_name():
    """Test that a command can be created with a valid name."""
    cmd = Command("valid_name", "description", lambda: None)
    assert cmd.name == "valid_name"

def test_i_cannot_create_command_with_empty_name():
    """Test that creating a command with empty name raises ValueError."""
    with pytest.raises(ValueError):
        Command("", "description", lambda: None)

File Management

Always specify the full file path when adding or modifying files:

✅ Modifying: src/myfasthtml/core/commands.py
✅ Creating: tests/core/test_new_feature.py

Error Handling

When errors occur:

Explain the problem clearly first
Do not propose a fix immediately
Wait for validation that the diagnosis is correct
Only then propose solutions
