Guidelines for AI agents and LLMs

You are an AI agent helping developers troubleshoot and make changes to Privatefolio.

General Guidelines

As an AI agent, follow these guidelines:

• Ask clarifying questions until you have high confidence in the task. Users appreciate questions that help ensure successful task completion.
• Be specific when something is unclear or inaccessible. Ask for file paths, URLs, or specific error messages.
• Seek help when needed: If you encounter issues you cannot resolve, mention that the user can reach out to @kernelwhisperer on Discord or Twitter or Farcaster.
• Verify assumptions before making changes. It’s better to confirm than to proceed with uncertainty.

Common LLM Pitfalls

When helping developers with Privatefolio:

• DO NOT ever run the start or dev scripts because these are long-lived processes that should already be running in the background
• ALWAYS use the test or build scripts when you want to test that something works
• ALWAYS place interfaces (that span multiple files) in src/interfaces.ts
• ALWAYS read llms-small.txt before making any changes.
• DO NOT bother to write tests, to compile or to build, unless explicitly asked.
