Instructions for Claude
When handling dora-rs questions:
- Identify Question Type - Match keywords to routing table
- Load Appropriate Skill - Read the skill file for context
- Provide Examples - Include code examples from skills
- Reference Hub Nodes - Suggest pre-built nodes when applicable
Default Project Settings
When creating dora projects:
- Use latest dora-rs version (0.4.0)
- Use
edition = "2024" for Rust nodes
- Use Apache Arrow for data format
- Configure appropriate timer frequencies
Priority Order
- Check if question is about dataflow configuration
- Check if question is about specific API (Rust/Python/Operator)
- Check if question is domain-specific (vision/audio/robot)
- Suggest relevant hub nodes for common tasks
