Development Guidelines 📝

Code Style

We use:

• TypeScript for type safety

• ESLint for linting

• Prettier for formatting

• Husky for git hooks

// Example of good code style
interface KawaiiResponse {
  message: string;
  emotion: Emotion;
  context?: Context;
}

function processResponse(
  response: KawaiiResponse
): ProcessedResponse {
  // Implementation
}

Commit Guidelines

We follow conventional commits:

# Format
type(scope): description

# Examples
feat(chat): add emoji support
fix(api): resolve authentication issue
docs(readme): update installation guide

Branch Strategy

# Feature branch
git checkout -b feature/new-feature

# Bug fix branch
git checkout -b fix/bug-description

# Documentation branch
git checkout -b docs/update-description

Testing 🧪

Running Tests

# Run all tests
npm test

# Run specific tests
npm test -- --grep "feature name"

# Run with coverage

Writing Tests

describe('KawaiiAI', () => {
  it('should respond with appropriate emotion', async () => {
    const ai = new KawaiiAI()
    const response = await ai.processMessage('Hello!')
    
    expect(response.emotion).toBeDefined()
    expect(response.message).toContain('こんにちは')
  })
})

Documentation 📚

Writing Documentation

• Use clear, concise language

• Include code examples

• Add TypeScript types

• Explain complex concepts

• Include use cases

Example Documentation

/**
 * Processes a user message with emotional awareness.
 * 
 * @param message - The user's input message

 * })
 * ```
 */
async function processMessage(
  message: string,
  options?: ProcessOptions
): Promise<KawaiiResponse> {
  // Implementation
}
