Core Principles - Follow established patterns and conventions - Maintain consistency across codebase - Document decisions and trade-offs ### 2. Implementation Guidelines - Start with the simplest viable solution - Iterate based on feedback and requirements - Test thoroughly before deployment ## Inputs / Outputs / Contracts * **Inputs**: - Edge device data (sensor readings, logs, events) - Cloud configuration data (configs, firmware, commands) - Sync configuration (directions, strategies, conflict resolution) * **Entry Conditions**: - Edge devices provisioned and connected - Cloud storage and services configured - Network connectivity available (initially) * **Outputs**: - Synced data in cloud storage - Updated configurations on edge devices - Sync operation status and metrics * **Artifacts Required (Deliverables)**: - Sync engine implementation - Local database schema - Conflict resolution logic - Monitoring and alerting setup * **Acceptance Evidence**: - Sync success rate > 99.5% - Conflict rate < 0.1% - Data consistency > 99.9% - Offline operation > 95% uptime * **Success Criteria**: - Sync success rate > 99.5% - Conflict rate < 0.1% of sync operations - Data consistency > 99.9% - Offline operation > 95% uptime during outages - Bandwidth efficiency > 80% reduction through delta sync ## Skill Composition * **Depends on**: [Differential OTA Updates](../73-iot-fleet-management/differential-ota-updates/SKILL.md), [Fleet Campaign Management](../73-iot-fleet-management/fleet-campaign-management/SKILL.md) * **Compatible with**: [Edge Observability](../75-edge-computing/edge-observability/SKILL.md), [Edge Security Compliance](../75-edge-computing/edge-security-compliance/SKILL.md) * **Conflicts with**: None * **Related Skills**: [Differential OTA Updates](../73-iot-fleet-management/differential-ota-updates/SKILL.md), [Fleet Campaign Management](../73-iot-fleet-management/fleet-campaign-management/SKILL.md) --- ## Quick Start / Implementation Example 1. Review requirements and constraints 2. Set up development environment 3. Implement core functionality following patterns 4. Write tests for critical paths 5. Run tests and fix issues 6. Document any deviations or decisions ```python # Example implementation following best practices def example_function(): # Your implementation here pass ``` ## Assumptions / Constraints / Non-goals * **Assumptions**: - Development environment is properly configured - Required dependencies are available - Team has basic understanding of domain * **Constraints**: - Must follow existing codebase conventions - Time and resource limitations - Compatibility requirements * **Non-goals**: - This skill does not cover edge cases outside scope - Not a replacement for formal training ## Compatibility & Prerequisites * **Supported Versions**: - Python 3.8+ - Node.js 16+ - Modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) * **Required AI Tools**: - Code editor (VS Code recommended) - Testing framework appropriate for language - Version control (Git) * **Dependencies**: - Language-specific package manager - Build tools - Testing libraries * **Environment Setup**: - `.env.example` keys: `API_KEY`, `DATABASE_URL` (no values) ## Test Scenario Matrix (QA Strategy) | Type | Focus Area | Required Scenarios / Mocks | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Unit** | Core Logic | Must cover primary logic and at least 3 edge/error cases. Target minimum 80% coverage | | **Integration** | DB / API | All external API calls or database connections must be mocked during unit tests | | **E2E** | User Journey | Critical user flows to test | | **Performance** | Latency / Load | Benchmark requirements | | **Security** | Vuln / Auth | SAST/DAST or dependency audit | | **Frontend** | UX / A11y | Accessibility checklist (WCAG), Performance Budget (Lighthouse score) | ## Technical Guardrails & Security Threat Model ### 1. Security & Privacy (Threat Model) * **Top Threats**: Injection attacks, authentication bypass, data exposure - [ ] **Data Handling**: Sanitize all user inputs to prevent Injection attacks. Never log raw PII - [ ] **Secrets Management**: No hardcoded API keys. Use Env Vars/Secrets Manager - [ ] **Authorization**: Validate user permissions before state changes ### 2. Performance & Resources - [ ] **Execution Efficiency**: Consider time complexity for algorithms - [ ] **Memory Management**: Use streams/pagination for large data - [ ] **Resource Cleanup**: Close DB connections/file handlers in finally blocks ### 3. Architecture & Scalability - [ ] **Design Pattern**: Follow SOLID principles, use Dependency Injection - [ ] **Modularity**: Decouple logic from UI/Frameworks ### 4. Observability & Reliability - [ ] **Logging Standards**: Structured JSON, include trace IDs `request_id` - [ ] **Metrics**: Track `error_rate`, `latency`, `queue_depth` - [ ] **Error Handling**: Standardized error codes, no bare except - [ ] **Observability Artifacts**: - **Log Fields**: timestamp, level, message, request_id - **Metrics**: request_count, error_count, response_time - **Dashboards/Alerts**: High Error Rate > 5% ## Agent Directives & Error Recovery *(ข้อกำหนดสำหรับ AI Agent ในการคิดและแก้ปัญหาเมื่อเกิดข้อผิดพลาด)* - **Thinking Process**: Analyze root cause before fixing. Do not brute-force. - **Fallback Strategy**: Stop after 3 failed test attempts. Output root cause and ask for human intervention/clarification. - **Self-Review**: Check against Guardrails & Anti-patterns before finalizing. - **Output Constraints**: Output ONLY the modified code block. Do not explain unless asked. ## Definition of Done (DoD) Checklist - [ ] Tests passed + coverage met - [ ] Lint/Typecheck passed - [ ] Logging/Metrics/Trace implemented - [ ] Security checks passed - [ ] Documentation/Changelog updated - [ ] Accessibility/Performance requirements met (if frontend) ## Anti-patterns / Pitfalls * ⛔ **Don't**: Log PII, catch-all exception, N+1 queries * ⚠️ **Watch out for**: Common symptoms and quick fixes * 💡 **Instead**: Use proper error handling, pagination, and logging ## Reference Links & Examples * Internal documentation and examples * Official documentation and best practices * Community resources and discussions ## Versioning & Changelog * **Version**: 1.0.0 * **Changelog**: - 2026-02-22: Initial version with complete template structure --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/amnadtaowsoam) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
