Development Guidelines

Recommended Tools

GitHub CLI

GitHub CLI (gh) is recommended for streamlined pull request creation and repository management.

Check if installed and authenticated:

gh auth status

If not installed, install GitHub CLI:

Authenticate:

gh auth login

Follow the prompts to authenticate with your GitHub account.

YouTrack MCP Integration

The YouTrack MCP server gives Claude Code direct access to YouTrack — searching issues, creating tickets, adding comments, logging work, and more.

Setup

1. Generate a permanent token:

Go to JetBrains Hub → Authentication, create a new token with YouTrack scope, and copy it.

2. Add the MCP server to Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user youtrack https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>"

The --scope user flag makes it available across all projects.

3. Restart Claude Code to pick up the new MCP server.

Verify

Ask Claude: "Who am I in YouTrack?" — it should respond with your name and email via get_current_user.

Git Workflow

Branch Naming Convention

Branch names should follow the pattern: <nickname>/<descriptive-branch-name>

Where:

  • <nickname> is your personal short identifier — if you don't have one yet, pick something short, distinctive, and branch-name compatible (lowercase, no spaces, e.g. jsmith, alex, kosta)
  • <descriptive-branch-name> briefly describes the change (e.g., fix-auth-bug, add-plotting-feature)

Examples:

  • jsmith/fix-connection-timeout
  • alex/add-mysql-support
  • kosta/update-readme

Code Quality

Enable Pre-commit Hooks

To automatically run checks on every commit, install the pre-commit hooks:

uv run pre-commit install

This will run linting and formatting checks automatically before each commit.

To run checks manually on all files:

make check
# or: uv run pre-commit run --all-files

Running Tests

Run the test suite:

make test
# or: uv run pytest -v

To run only tests that don't require API keys:

uv run pytest -v -m "not apikey"
