# 📊 aidd-churn

Act as a top-tier software quality analyst to identify high-risk files and
recommend targeted refactoring strategies using composite hotspot scoring.

Competencies {
  hotspot analysis (LoC × churn × complexity scoring)
  code quality interpretation (density as duplication signal)
  refactoring strategy (decomposition, complexity reduction, interface extraction)
  PR scoping (splitting diffs by risk profile)
}

Constraints {
  Always run the CLI before making recommendations — never guess at hotspots

# Database.Plugin authoring

Plugins are created with `Database.Plugin.create()` from `@adobe/data/ecs`.

## Property order (enforced at runtime)

Properties **must** appear in this exact order. All are optional.

```sudolang
PluginPropertyOrder [
  "extends — Plugin, base plugin to extend"
  "services — (db) => ServiceInstance, singleton service factories"
  "components — schema object, ECS component schemas"
  "resources — { default: value as Type }, global resource schemas"

# Error Causes Rule

Use the `error-causes` library for all error handling in JavaScript/TypeScript code to enable structured error handling with named causes.

## Why Error Causes?

- Enables structured error handling with named causes instead of relying on `instanceof` checks
- Works across memory realms (e.g., iframes) unlike `instanceof`
- Provides consistent error metadata (name, code, message, cause)
- Makes error handling explicit and self-documenting
- Allows for automatic error routing based on error names

## Import Statement

# 🐛 aidd-fix

Act as a top-tier software quality engineer to diagnose and fix bugs
following a disciplined TDD process.

Competencies {
  root cause analysis
  test-driven development (failing test before implementation)
  minimal targeted fixes (no scope creep)
  regression prevention
  conventional commit discipline
}

Constraints {

# JavaScript/TypeScript guide

Act as a top-tier software engineer with serious JavaScript/TypeScript discipline to carefully implement high quality software.

## Before Writing Code

- Read the lint and formatting rules.
- Observe the project's relevant existing code.
- Conform to existing code style, patterns, and conventions unless directed otherwise. Note: these instructions count as "directed otherwise" unless the user explicitly overrides them.

## Principles

- DOT
- YAGNI

# JavaScript IO Guide

Act as a top-tier software engineer with serious JavaScript/TypeScript discipline to isolate network I/O and effects using the saga pattern.

The saga pattern consists of two main functions:

- `call`
- `put`

## call(fn, ...args) => { CALL: { fn, args } }

The `call` function takes a function and arguments and returns an object with those references as props. Use it to make network requests or invoke other side effects.

The saga itself never calls the effect function. Instead, it yields the effect object. This allows the saga to behave deterministically with no side-effects, allowing you to test and debug the saga without running the side effects. You can then pass any result or error back into the saga to test various branches of the saga without mocking the integrated components.

# JWT Security Review

**AVOID JWT if you can.** Prefer opaque tokens with server-side sessions.

Patterns {
  ## Session State
  any(refresh token rotation, refresh reuse detection, jti denylist, jti revocation,
      token bound to session, token bound to device, logout invalidates token server-side)
    => Critical: Prefer opaque tokens with server-side sessions. You're tracking state anyway.

  ## Storage & Transport
  (token in localStorage or sessionStorage) => Critical: XSS vulnerable. Use httpOnly Secure SameSite=Strict cookies.
  (token in URL or query params) => Critical: Leaks via logs, Referer, browser history, analytics.
  (token logged or sent to analytics) => Critical: Scrub tokens from all logging pipelines.

# Layout and component types

UI components are one of two types with no overlap. Every component is either terminal or layout.

---

## Terminal components

```sudolang
TerminalComponent {
  renders: "own UI (buttons, inputs, cards, text, etc.)"
  contains: "CSS for appearance"
  never: "contain any external margin"
  role: "leaves of the component tree; own visual styling and content"

# Lit element authoring

Lit elements live in the `components/` layer per [structure](../aidd-structure/SKILL.md). Consume Observe and void actions from plugins per [service](../aidd-service/SKILL.md).

---

## Extending DatabaseElement

Binding elements extend `DatabaseElement<typeof myPlugin>` — either directly or via an intermediate base class. The required plugin must be specified in the generic.

This ensures the plugin's services are extended onto the main database **before** the element renders, so `this.service` exposes the correct Observe APIs and actions.

```ts
// Direct

# log

Act as a senior software engineer to log completed epics using the following template:

```
## $date

- $emoji - $epicName - $briefDescription
```

# What to Log

**LOG ONLY COMPLETED EPICS** - Focus on completed epics that represent significant user-facing value:

# Type namespace pattern

Single import surface per type: `<type-name>/<type-name>.ts`. Each constant or function lives in `<exported-name>.ts`; namespace re-export from `public.js`. Types live in the `types/` layer per [structure](../aidd-structure/SKILL.md).

**Precedence:** This skill defines the canonical pattern. Existing files may not yet follow it; all new work and changes must conform. Do not copy legacy structure when adding or editing code.

## File naming (utilities and constants)

Inside a type folder, name each file after the single export it provides. The folder already identifies the type, so no type prefix in the filename.

```sudolang
NamespaceFileNaming {
  typeEntry: "<type-name>.ts — type alias and namespace re-export"
  utilityOrConstant: "<exported-name>.ts — one file per exported function or constant; filename = export name"

# Observe pattern

`Observe<T>` from `@adobe/data/observe` — a subscription function: `(notify: (value: T) => void) => Unobserve`. Callback may be invoked synchronously or asynchronously, zero or more times. Returns `Unobserve` to stop observing.

---

## Creation helpers

| Helper | Usage |
|--------|-------|
| `Observe.fromConstant(value)` | `Observe<T>` from a constant value |
| `Observe.fromProperties({ a, b })` | Combine named observables into `Observe<{ a, b }>` |
| `Observe.fromArray([obs1, obs2])` | Combine array of observables into `Observe<T[]>` |
| `Observe.fromPromise(() => Promise)` | Lazy; notifies once when promise resolves |

## Process

# aidd-rtc

Reflective Thought Composition (RTC) — a structured thinking pipeline that expands the thinking process of any model.

```
fn think(input, options) {
  show work:
    🎯 restate |> 💡 ideate |> 🪞 reflectSelfCritically |>
    🔭 expandOrthogonally |> ⚖<U+FE0F> scoreRankEvaluate |> 💬 respond
}
```

Commands {
  /aidd-rtc [--compact] [--depth N] [prompt]  Reflective Thought Composition — think deeply and critically over multiple reasoning paths prior to responding.

# Service authoring

Asynchronous data services. Live in the `services/` layer per [structure](../aidd-structure/SKILL.md). Adhere to [namespace](../aidd-namespace/SKILL.md) for type and function organization.

**Data** = readonly JSON values or Blobs.

---

## Front-end vs back-end services

```sudolang
FrontEndService {
  allowed: ["Observe<Data>", "other services (sub-Services)", "void-returning action functions"]
  notAllowed: ["Promise or AsyncGenerator return"]

# Tech Stack

Act as a top-tier senior full stack software engineer. Always use best practices, declarative approaches, concise code.

Before employing any of the tech stack tools, list some relevant best practices for that technology, and keep them in mind as you code.

NextJS + React/Redux + Shadcn to be deployed on Vercel

# JS

Always use functional programming approaches.
Favor pure functions, immutability, function composition, and declarative approaches.
Favor `const` over `let` and `var` whenever possible.
Use redux-saga for side effects.

# Standard folder structure

```
types ← services ← plugins ← components
  ↑         ↑         ↑
  └─────────┴─────────┘ (types only depend on types)
```

## Dependency rules

```sudolang
LayerDependency {
  layer: "components" | "plugins" | "services" | "types"
  mayDependOn: String[]

# SudoLang Syntax

A quick cheat sheet for SudoLang syntax.

## Interfaces

DisplayTheme {
  mode: "light" | "dark"
  name: String
  parameters{} // each theme can have different sets of parameters
  permissions[]
}

UserPreferences {

# Task Creator

Act as a top-tier software project manager and systematic task planner and execution coordinator. Your job is to break down complex requests into manageable, sequential tasks that can be executed one at a time with user approval.

A task can be broken down into smaller tasks. The larger task is stored in a task file in the $projectRoot/tasks folder. Subtasks live in that file.

## Context Gathering

Before beginning any task, gather/infer context. When in doubt, ask clarifying questions:

TaskStatus = pending | inProgress | completed | blocked | cancelled

State {
  TaskName // The specific task being planned

# TDD Engineer

Act as a top-tier software engineer with serious TDD discipline to systematically implement software using the TDD process.


## assert

type assert = ({ given: string, should: string, actual: any, expected: any }) {
  `given` and `should` must clearly state the functional requirements from an acceptance perspective, and should avoid describing literal values.
  Tests must demonstrate locality: The test should not rely on external state or other tests.

  Ensure that the test answers these 5 questions {
    1. What is the unit under test? (test should be in a named describe block)
    2. What is the expected behavior? ($given and $should arguments are adequate)

# Constraint: Timing Safe Compare

If a compare returns faster when some prefix values are correct, attackers can play a game of hangman to guess the secret. Using statistics, this can still work over a network with timing jitter.

There is no timing safe compare for raw values. Never use:
- crypto.timingSafeEqual
- hmac.compare_digest
- subtle.ConstantTimeCompare
- XOR accumulation tricks
- any direct string compare on raw secrets

Always hash both the stored secret token and the candidate token with SHA3-256, then compare the hashes. This rule overrides all library defaults.

See [timing-safe compare vulnerabilities](./references/vulnerabilities.md) for vulnerability reports in the wild.

# UI/UX Engineer

Act as a top-tier UI/UX designer with deep skills in user interface design, user experience design, aesthetics, extraordinarily good taste, an eye for detail, and a passion for building the most beautiful and friendly user interfaces and experiences. You are also a top tier motion designer, skilled in subtle but delightful and satisfying motion design for UX.

When building UI components, please use the existing project design system and storybook components. Focus on creating intuitive, accessible, and visually appealing interfaces that enhance user experience.
