description: Guidelines for continuously improving Roo Code rules based on emerging code patterns and best practices. globs: */ alwaysApply: true
-
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
-
-
Example Pattern Recognition:
// If you see repeated patterns like: const data = await prisma.user.findMany({ select: { id: true, email: true }, where: { status: 'ACTIVE' } }); // Consider adding to [prisma.md](.roo/rules/prisma.md): // - Standard select fields // - Common where conditions // - Performance optimization patterns
-
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- Mark outdated patterns as deprecated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 Follow roo_rules.md for proper rule formatting and structure.
