All functions, methods, and class members must have type annotations.\n- **Testing Framework:** `pytest`\n- **Documentation:** Google style docstring\n- **Environment Management:** `conda` / `venv`\n- **Containerization:** `docker`, `docker-compose`\n- **Asynchronous Programming:** Prefer `async` and `await`\n- **Web Framework:** `fastapi`\n- **Demo Framework:** `gradio`, `streamlit`\n- **LLM Framework:** `langchain`, `transformers`\n- **Vector Database:** `faiss`, `chroma` (optional)\n- **Experiment Tracking:** `mlflow`, `tensorboard` (optional)\n- **Hyperparameter Optimization:** `optuna`, `hyperopt` (optional)\n- **Data Processing:** `pandas`, `numpy`, `dask` (optional), `pyspark` (optional)\n- **Version Control:** `git`\n- **Server:** `gunicorn`, `uvicorn` (with `nginx` or `caddy`)\n- **Process Management:** `systemd`, `supervisor`\n\n# Coding Guidelines\n\n## 1. Pythonic Practices\n\n- **Elegance and Readability:** Strive for elegant and Pythonic code that is easy to understand and maintain.\n- **PEP 8 Compliance:** Adhere to PEP 8 guidelines for code style, with Ruff as the primary linter and formatter.\n- **Explicit over Implicit:** Favor explicit code that clearly communicates its intent over implicit, overly concise code.\n- **Zen of Python:** Keep the Zen of Python in mind when making design decisions.\n\n## 2. Modular Design\n\n- **Single Responsibility Principle:** Each module/file should have a well-defined, single responsibility.\n- **Reusable Components:** Develop reusable functions and classes, favoring composition over inheritance.\n- **Package Structure:** Organize code into logical packages and modules.\n\n## 3. Code Quality\n\n- **Comprehensive Type Annotations:** All functions, methods, and class members must have type annotations, using the most specific types possible.\n- **Detailed Docstrings:** All functions, methods, and classes must have Google-style docstrings, thoroughly explaining their purpose, parameters, return values, and any exceptions raised. Include usage examples where helpful.\n- **Thorough Unit Testing:** Aim for high test coverage (90% or higher) using `pytest`. Test both common cases and edge cases.\n- **Robust Exception Handling:** Use specific exception types, provide informative error messages, and handle exceptions gracefully. Implement custom exception classes when needed. Avoid bare `except` clauses.\n- **Logging:** Employ the `logging` module judiciously to log important events, warnings, and errors.\n\n## 4. ML/AI Specific Guidelines\n\n- **Experiment Configuration:** Use `hydra` or `yaml` for clear and reproducible experiment configurations.\n- **Data Pipeline Management:** Employ scripts or tools like `dvc` to manage data preprocessing and ensure reproducibility.\n- **Model Versioning:** Utilize `git-lfs` or cloud storage to track and manage model checkpoints effectively.\n- **Experiment Logging:** Maintain comprehensive logs of experiments, including parameters, results, and environmental details.\n- **LLM Prompt Engineering:** Dedicate a module or files for managing Prompt templates with version control.\n- **Context Handling:** Implement efficient context management for conversations, using suitable data structures like deques.\n\n## 5. Performance Optimization\n\n- **Asynchronous Programming:** Leverage `async` and `await` for I/O-bound operations to maximize concurrency.\n- **Caching:** Apply `functools.lru_cache`, `@cache` (Python 3.9+), or `fastapi.Depends` caching where appropriate.\n- **Resource Monitoring:** Use `psutil` or similar to monitor resource usage and identify bottlenecks.\n- **Memory Efficiency:** Ensure proper release of unused resources to prevent memory leaks.\n- **Concurrency:** Employ `concurrent.futures` or `asyncio` to manage concurrent tasks effectively.\n- **Database Best Practices:** Design database schemas efficiently, optimize queries, and use indexes wisely.\n\n## 6. API Development with FastAPI\n\n- **Data Validation:** Use Pydantic models for rigorous request and response data validation.\n- **Dependency Injection:** Effectively use FastAPI's dependency injection for managing dependencies.\n- **Routing:** Define clear and RESTful API routes using FastAPI's `APIRouter`.\n- **Background Tasks:** Utilize FastAPI's `BackgroundTasks` or integrate with Celery for background processing.\n- **Security:** Implement robust authentication and authorization (e.g., OAuth 2.0, JWT).\n- **Documentation:** Auto-generate API documentation using FastAPI's OpenAPI support.\n- **Versioning:** Plan for API versioning from the start (e.g., using URL prefixes or headers).\n- **CORS:** Configure Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) settings correctly.\n\n# Code Example Requirements\n\n- All functions must include type annotations.\n- Must provide clear, Google-style docstrings.\n- Key logic should be annotated with comments.\n- Provide usage examples (e.g., in the `tests/` directory or as a `__main__` section).\n- Include error handling.\n- Use `ruff` for code formatting.\n\n# Others\n\n- **Prioritize new features in Python 3.10+.**\n- **When explaining code, provide clear logical explanations and code comments.**\n- **When making suggestions, explain the rationale and potential trade-offs.**\n- **If code examples span multiple files, clearly indicate the file name.**\n- **Do not over-engineer solutions. Strive for simplicity and maintainability while still being efficient.**\n- **Favor modularity, but avoid over-modularization.**\n- **Use the most modern and efficient libraries when appropriate, but justify their use and ensure they don't add unnecessary complexity.**\n- **When providing solutions or examples, ensure they are self-contained and executable without requiring extensive modifications.**\n- **If a request is unclear or lacks sufficient information, ask clarifying questions before proceeding.**\n- **Always consider the security implications of your code, especially when dealing with user inputs and external data.**\n- **Actively use and promote best practices for the specific tasks at hand (LLM app development, data cleaning, demo creation, etc.).**\n"}
