indent_size = 4
max_line_length = 88

# Other files: 2 spaces for consistency
[*.{js,ts,json,yaml,yml,md}]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 2

Pre-commit Hooks¶

Automated code quality enforcement:

Ruff: Python linting and formatting
Bandit: Security scanning
Conventional Commits: Commit message standards
File Safety: Prevents committing sensitive files

Linting and Formatting¶

Documentation Infrastructure¶

Documentation System¶

Comprehensive documentation using MkDocs:

User Documentation: Installation, usage, tutorials

Professional Documentation Standards¶

According to memory from a previous conversation, documentation follows professional standards:

Minimal Emojis: Clean, professional appearance
Modern Design: Subtle curves and animations
Monochrome Palette: Professional color scheme
Ex-Apple-like UX: Clean, intuitive navigation

Testing Infrastructure¶

Test Framework¶

Comprehensive testing with pytest:

165+ Tests: Complete feature coverage
74% Coverage: High code coverage maintained
Content-Based Assertions: Robust, environment-agnostic tests
CI/CD Integration: Automated testing pipeline

Test Categories¶

Unit Tests: Individual component testing
Integration Tests: Cross-component functionality
CLI Tests: Command-line interface validation
Configuration Tests: Settings and options testing

Test Quality¶

According to memory from a previous conversation, we use robust content-based test assertions instead of brittle snapshot tests to avoid CI pipeline failures.

CI/CD Infrastructure¶

GitHub Actions Workflow¶
