- Workspace tasks MUST use
package.jsonscripts; add a script when a missing workflow is repeatable like the existing commands, not ad hoc commands. - CI package path filters, matrix package ids, and root scripts
test:*in.github/workflows/ci.ymland rootpackage.jsonMUST stay synchronized when a workspace package is added, renamed, or moved; thestorefilter sync rule lives inpackages/trueforge-core/src/agent-session/store/AGENTS.md. - Release wiring MUST keep dist-free host development,
pnpm smoke, and packed CJS/ESM consumers of@truefoundry/trueforge-coreand@truefoundry/trueforge-sdkworking without changes. Workspace loaders opt into SDK/coresrc/via thetrueforge-devexport condition (never"development"); the SDK'strueforge-devbranch MUST keeptypeson its generated.d.ts(emitted by rootsdk:types) because generated source is notexactOptionalPropertyTypes-clean. - PRs that change published-package code (
packages/trueforge-core,packages/trueforge,packages/trueforge-ui,packages/trueforge-sdk) orpackages/frontend(ships inside@truefoundry/trueforge) MUST include a new.changeset/*.mdfile (pnpm changeset). Docs, CI/workflows, charts, and docker-compose changes do not. SDK regeneration already adds@truefoundry/trueforge-sdkviapnpm changeset:sdk-regen. - Shared Postgres/Redis settings in
docker-compose.ymlanddocker-compose.dev.yml(image versions, health checks,env_file) MUST stay synchronized; intentional differences (app services, data paths, projectname, host ports, in-networkPOSTGRES_HOST/REDIS_URL) MUST stay explicit.packages/trueforge/.envis the host-dev + secrets source;docker-compose.ymlmay read it but MUST override container connectivity so host-dev localhost values are not used inside the smoke-test stack. - Changes to types or schemas MUST keep
packages/trueforge-core,packages/frontend,packages/trueforge, andpatchessynchronized; they MUST NOT update only one affected layer. - TypeScript code MUST NOT use assertion escapes such as
as T,as unknown as T, non-null!, oras neverto silence type errors; implementations MUST use sound contracts, guards, or corrected types. - When catching an error and throwing another, the new error MUST set
{ cause: caught }so the original failure is preserved for logs and debugging. - Every type, schema, helper, and contract MUST have one canonical owner; code MUST NOT introduce duplicate definitions or forwarding shims that hide ownership.
- AgentUIServer / server-port types (
AgentChatServer,AgentBuilderServer, catalog ports, session/turn DTOs, stream events) MUST be defined only in@truefoundry/assistant-ui-runtime(src/server/types.ts/events.ts).@truefoundry/trueforge-uiMUST re-export them fromsrc/server/types.ts(pass-through aliases only) and MUST NOT add hand-written parallel definitions of those ports/DTOs. - Runtime types backed by Zod schemas MUST be derived with named
z.infer<typeof Schema>aliases; code MUST NOT duplicate those schemas as hand-written interfaces or indirect utility-type chains. - Modules MUST use static
importandimport type; they MUST NOT userequire(),require.resolve(), or lint suppressions to bypass import checks. - A change that makes code unused MUST remove that dead code in the same change; it MUST NOT leave stale exports, files, documentation, duplicates, or “just in case” shims.
- Every nested
AGENTS.mdMUST have a siblingCLAUDE.mdcontaining only@AGENTS.md, so Cursor and Claude Code load the same scoped rules. - OpenAPI specs under
.github/fern/openapi/openapi.jsonanddocs/openapi.jsonare autogenerated in CI and MUST NOT be edited manually (both copies MUST stay identical) - Code under
packages/trueforge-sdkandpython/trueforge_sdkis autogenerated in CI and MUST NOT be edited manually - Tests MUST live under a package-top-level
testortestsdirectory that mirrors thesrclayout; they MUST NOT be inlined undersrc. - Functions with more than one parameter of the same type MUST take a single options object (e.g.
f({ a, b }: { a: string; b: string })); they MUST NOT use multiple positional parameters of that repeated type (e.g.f(a: string, b: string)). - Zod unions MUST use
z.discriminatedUnionwhenever every member carries a shared literal discriminator field;z.unionis only permitted when no such common discriminator exists. - HTTP/OpenAPI wire shapes (path params, query params, request/response JSON fields) and database identifiers (table/column names, persisted jsonb document keys) MUST use
snake_case. - Server code MUST NOT read environment variables via
process.envdirectly; all env reads MUST go throughpackages/trueforge/src/config.ts, unless there is a documented special requirement (for example bootstrap before config is loaded). - UI styles MUST use
remfor lengths (notpx); assume 1rem = 16px. Prefer Tailwind spacing/type scale utilities when they fit. Exceptions:0pxincalc()/env()fallbacks, existing media-query breakpoints, and canvas/measurement APIs that require CSS pixels.
- Comments MUST explain intent, trade-offs, or constraints and remain brief; they MUST NOT restate the code, include issue-tracker IDs, or use
{@link …}/ deep cross-links. - Do NOT add file-level banners that enumerate implementations, backends, or call graphs; put a one-line note on the symbol that needs it, or omit.
- Comments MUST NOT leak internal wiring into public or shared surfaces.
- OpenAPI / route
descriptionand.describe(…)strings MUST stay under 50 words and describe the caller-visible contract only — not backend routing or storage. - TODOs stay to one short line when needed.
