|
|
|
|
- **Rule Improvement Triggers:**
|
|
- New code patterns not covered by existing rules
|
|
- Repeated similar implementations across files
|
|
- Common error patterns that could be prevented
|
|
- New libraries or tools being used consistently
|
|
- Emerging best practices in the codebase
|
|
|
|
- **Analysis Process:**
|
|
- Compare new code with existing rules
|
|
- Identify patterns that should be standardized
|
|
- Look for references to external documentation
|
|
- Check for consistent error handling patterns
|
|
- Monitor test patterns and coverage
|
|
|
|
- **Rule Updates:**
|
|
- **Add New Rules When:**
|
|
- A new technology/pattern is used in 3+ files
|
|
- Common bugs could be prevented by a rule
|
|
- Code reviews repeatedly mention the same feedback
|
|
- New security or performance patterns emerge
|
|
|
|
- **Modify Existing Rules When:**
|
|
- Better examples exist in the codebase
|
|
- Additional edge cases are discovered
|
|
- Related rules have been updated
|
|
- Implementation details have changed
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Rule Quality Checks:**
|
|
- Rules should be actionable and specific
|
|
- Examples should come from actual code
|
|
- References should be up to date
|
|
- Patterns should be consistently enforced
|
|
|
|
- **Continuous Improvement:**
|
|
- Monitor code review comments
|
|
- Track common development questions
|
|
- Update rules after major refactors
|
|
- Add links to relevant documentation
|
|
- Cross-reference related rules
|
|
|
|
- **Rule Deprecation:**
|
|
- Mark outdated patterns as deprecated
|
|
- Remove rules that no longer apply
|
|
- Update references to deprecated rules
|
|
- Document migration paths for old patterns
|
|
|
|
- **Documentation Updates:**
|
|
- Keep examples synchronized with code
|
|
- Update references to external docs
|
|
- Maintain links between related rules
|
|
- Document breaking changes
