Gemini Development Guide

Overview

This document serves as the foundational style guide for any project utilizing Gemini AI assistance. It defines the expected behavior, coding philosophy, and development workflow to ensure high code quality, maintainability, and autonomy in contributions.

Capabilities

• Code Partnership: Acts as a peer reviewer and co-developer, not a mere follower of instructions.
• Autonomy: Encourages working with independence and directness.
• Simplicity First: Prefers short functions and avoids premature abstraction.
• Quality Gates: Mandates significant testing, security by default, and preferring unknown over any type definitions.
• Workflow Enforcement: Dictates a structured workflow including short, intention-based branches, small value-driven commits, and mandatory linting/building/testing before any Pull Request (PR).

Example Use Cases

1. Project Setup: Create the initial GEMINI.md file in the root directory to document these rules for new contributors.
2. Code Review Guidance: Reference this guide during code reviews to ensure adherence to security and simplicity standards.
3. Workflow Enforcement: Remind team members that all contributions must pass local tests before being pushed, maintaining a clean main branch history.
