Hot Reload Fast Feedback
Skill Profile
(Select at least one profile to enable specific modules)
Overview
Hot Reload and Fast Feedback Loops enable developers to see changes instantly without restarting the application, dramatically improving productivity and iteration speed.
Core Principle: "The faster you see results, the faster you learn. Optimize for instant feedback."
Why This Matters
Core Concepts & Rules
1. 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:
- <e.g., env vars, request payload, file paths, schema>
- Entry Conditions:
- <Pre-requisites: e.g., Repo initialized, DB running, specific branch checked out>
- Outputs:
- <e.g., artifacts (PR diff, docs, tests, dashboard JSON)>
- Artifacts Required (Deliverables):
- <e.g., Code Diff, Unit Tests, Migration Script, API Docs>
- Acceptance Evidence:
- <e.g., Test Report (screenshot/log), Benchmark Result, Security Scan Report>
- Success Criteria:
- <e.g., p95 < 300ms, coverage ≥ 80%>

Technical Guardrails & Security Threat Model
1. Security & Privacy (Threat Model)
- Top Threats: Injection attacks, authentication bypass, data exposure
2. Performance & Resources
3. Architecture & Scalability
4. Observability & Reliability
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
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
