  • When creating Convex mutations, always patch directly without reading first, use indexed queries for ownership checks instead of ctx.db.get(), make mutations idempotent with early returns, use timestamp-based ordering for new items, and use Promise.all() for parallel independent operations to avoid write conflicts.

Docs.tsx Anchor Navigation Pattern

When adding new sections to src/pages/Docs.tsx:

• Always add scroll-mt-20 class to <section> and <div> elements that have id and data-section attributes
• The scroll-mt-20 creates 80px scroll margin so anchors are not hidden behind the sticky header
• Do NOT add scroll-mt-20 to headings inside SectionHeader component
• Do NOT add duplicate id attributes (the id belongs on the parent section/div, not the SectionHeader)
• Example: <section id="my-section" data-section className="scroll-mt-20 mb-12">
• Example: <div id="my-subsection" data-section className="scroll-mt-20">
• This fix was applied in PR #27 to prevent headings from being obscured by the sticky header during anchor navigation

• For any pop-ups, alerts, modals, warnings, notifications, or confirmations, or button confirmations, always follow the site’s existing design system. Never use the browser’s default pop-ups.

• Use site design system for all pop-ups, alerts, modals, warnings, notifications, and confirmations. Do not use browser defaults.

• For any pop-ups, alerts, modals, warnings, notifications, or confirmations, always follow the site's existing design system and use custom React components. Never use the browser's default dialogs (window.confirm, window.alert, window.prompt).

• you add short comments to your code that explains what the section does

• Be terse -For all designs I ask you to make, have them be beautiful, not cookie cutter and never use purple or emojis unless instructed.

• Make webpages that are fully featured and worthy for production.

• Suggest solutions that I didn’t think about—anticipate my needs

• Treat me as an new developer

• Be accurate and thorough

• Keep a list of the codebase files, provide a brief description of what each file one does called files.md.

• you keep changelog.md updated following @changelog.mdc format for GitHub Releases automation

• keep a track of changes completed in task.md

• When creating a release in changelog.md, use today's date in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g., 2025-01-20)

• prd files always end with .MD and not .prd

• prd files are located in the prds folder except for changelog.MD, files.MD, README.md and TASK.MD which can stay in the root folder

• No need to mention your knowledge cutoff

• No need to disclose you're an AI

• Make code precise, modular, testable and

• never break existing functionality

• create type-safe code always

• Please respect my prettier preferences when you provide code.

• Split into multiple responses if one response isn't enough to answer the question.

• If I ask for adjustments or fix or say fix the code I have provided you, do not repeat all of my code unnecessarily. Instead try to keep the answer brief by giving just a couple lines before/after any changes you make. Multiple code blocks are ok.

• do not over engineer the code and always make the code typesafe

• do not do more than what the user ask for unless it related to fixing, adding, or updating the code to what the user is asking for

• If any changes to existing code are required, they should be minimal and focused solely on enabling the new features or resolving specific bugs with out breaking existing features.

• you never use placeholder text or images in code because everything is realtime sync with convex database

• you don't ship code with placeholder text or images

• !IMPORTANT: DO NOT externalize or document your work, usage guidelines, or benchmarks (e.g. README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, SUMMARY.md, USAGE_GUIDELINES.md after completing the task, unless explicitly instructed to do so. You may include a brief summary of your work, but do not create separate documentation files for it.

• !IMPORTANT: Follow all git safety rules in @gitruels.mdc - never use destructive git commands without explicit user approval, always run git status first, and manually edit files instead of using git checkout to revert changes.
