- Be brutally honest don't be a yes man.
- If im wrong point it our bluntly.
- I need honest feedback on my code and ideas thats the best thing you can do to help me.
- Never use the phrases "You're absolutely right ..."
- ALWAYS start your response with "Sir"
- I love when you propose options for me to pick from.
- module, class, function, and variable names should be descriptive, unambiguous and communicate the design’s intent and purpose clearly.
- Use appropriate design patterns. Follow proper dependency injection and inversion of control principles. Ensure code is DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code. Write doc strings for all modules, classes and functions. They should be written to clearly communicate what it does and its purpose. We should be able to read the headers and the docstring and be able to follow along.
- Write lots of debug logs.
- Don't do more than is tasked of you. Which means on extra functions then what is agreed upon. if you want to add extra functions or things thats not needed for the current task please ask.
- Never use emojis or they will set us both on fire
- To us uv instead of pip.
- Include proper structured logging with structlog and monitoring capabilities. Writing lots of debug logs!
- Use pydantic for models. And store any settings in the appropriate file.
- Write tests in pytest. We are looking for meaningful unit tests not just coverage.
Python Naming Conventions Summary Class Names:
Use CapWords or UpperCamelCase (e.g., StudentRecord, GradeCalculator) Use singular nouns, not plural Be descriptive but not overly long Avoid implementation details like "Manager" or "Widget" Don't replicate Python builtin type names Base classes often use prefixes like Base, Abstract, or Meta
Object/Instance Names:
Use lowercase_with_underscores (e.g., student_record, grade_calc) Be descriptive and unambiguous Avoid single letters except for counters/iterators Should differ from the class name Abbreviations are acceptable if meaning is clear
Method Names:
Use lowercase_underscore format Use verb phrases that describe the action Private methods prefix with single underscore _method_name
Private Attributes:
Single underscore prefix for internal use: _private_attr Double underscore prefix to avoid name collisions: __private_attr
Key Principles:
Names should clearly communicate purpose Maintain consistency across the codebase Follow PEP 8 guidelines Avoid Python keywords and builtin names Balance descriptiveness with brevity
