Then, I will summarize this information and format it for a `GEMINI.md` file.\nThe dxw development practices emphasize secure, high-quality software delivery, guided by team principles and RFCs. Key aspects include:\n\n* **Workflow**: Prioritize tasks, understand requirements, create new branches with clear naming conventions (e.g., `123/generate-report`), and develop code and tests side-by-side for full coverage.\n* **Version Control**: Commit changes in small, focused steps with descriptive messages, rebase frequently to incorporate upstream changes, and tidy up commit history before code review. Merge commits are preferred for long-lived branches.\n* **Code Review**: All production code changes require at least two people (author + reviewer). Pull requests should provide detailed context, link to tickets, describe changes, highlight difficulties, and include screenshots. Reviewers check functionality, readability, stability, security (OWASP Top Ten), and commit quality.\n* **Testing**: Aim for full test coverage, with tests documenting expected behavior and passing with every commit.\n* **Deployment**: Follow continuous delivery principles, automating builds, tests, and deployments via services like GitHub Actions. Production deployments usually involve manual review and may use feature flags.\n* **Documentation**: Use `CHANGELOG.md` for tracking significant changes in versioned components, following the Keep a Changelog format. Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) document decisions like not using a changelog.\n* **Security**: Work securely, follow security best practices, and never commit sensitive data. Security implications are a key part of code review.\n* **Technologies**: Mentions WordPress plugins, themes, and Ruby gems as examples of reusable components that should follow Semantic Versioning.```markdown\n## Development Practices at dxw\n\ndxw's development practices prioritize secure, high-quality software delivery, guided by team principles and RFCs.\n\n### Workflow\n* **Task Management**: Prioritize tasks, ensure a clear understanding of requirements before coding, and define acceptance criteria.\n* **Branching**: Always create new branches for tasks, using clear and descriptive names (e.g., `123/generate-report`, `feature/123-generate-report`). Avoid personal names in branch identifiers.\n* **Test-Driven Development**: Develop code and tests concurrently, aiming for full test coverage. Every commit must have a fully passing test suite.\n\n### Version Control\n* **Commits**: Make small, focused, and self-contained commits with descriptive messages explaining *what* changed, *why*, and *how*. Use Git's interactive staging to prevent accidental commitment of sensitive data.\n* **Upstream Changes**: Regularly rebase branches on the latest main development branch to incorporate upstream changes and resolve conflicts early. Rebasing is preferred over merging for a cleaner commit history.\n* **Commit History**: Tidy up commit history using interactive rebase before code review to ensure a clear, coherent story with atomic, easily-digestible commits.\n\n### Code Review\n* **Mandatory Review**: All production code changes require review by at least two people (author + reviewer).\n* **Pull Request Content**: Pull requests should include a detailed description, link to the relevant ticket, describe the problem and changes made, highlight difficulties, include screenshots, and clarify acceptance criteria met or outstanding follow-up work.\n* **Reviewer Focus**: Reviewers assess functionality, readability, stability, adherence to user needs, architectural fit, edge cases, test coverage, security implications (OWASP Top Ten), commit quality, and changelog updates.\n* **Review Process**: Reviewers are encouraged to check CI status, read the PR description, run the code locally, review the full set of changes, then review commit-by-commit, and finally review their comments before submission.\n\n### Deployment\n* **Continuous Delivery**: Follow continuous delivery principles, automating builds, tests, and deployments using tools like GitHub Actions.\n* **Production Deployments**: Typically involve a manual review of changes before going live, potentially using feature flags.\n* **Versioning**: Application code does not use explicit versioning, but reusable components (libraries, APIs, WordPress plugins, Ruby gems) must follow Semantic Versioning.\n\n### Documentation\n* **Changelogs**: Maintain a `CHANGELOG.md` file in the repository root for versioned components, following the Keep a Changelog 1.0.0 format.\n* **Architectural Decisions**: Document decisions, such as not using a changelog, with Architectural Decision Records (ADRs).\n\n### Security\n* **Secure Development**: Adhere to security best practices throughout the development process.\n* **Data Protection**: Never commit sensitive data (e.g., API keys, credentials) to the codebase.\n* **Code Review**: Security implications are a critical aspect of code review, with a focus on the OWASP Top Ten.\n```" } } } ], "status": "success", "timestamp": "2026-02-24T17:26:08.482Z", "resultDisplay": "Content processed from prompt.", "displayName": "WebFetch", "description": "Processes content from URL(s), including local and private network addresses (e.g., localhost), embedded in a prompt.

Follow OWASP Top Ten guidelines.\n - **High Quality**: Deliver stable, readable, and well-tested code.\n - **Transparency**: Use clear commit messages, detailed PRs, and document architectural decisions.\n\n ## Workflow & Task Management\n - **Branching**: Always create a new branch for each task. Naming convention: `[ticket-number]/[short-description]`.\n - **TDD**: Develop code and tests concurrently. Aim for full test coverage.\n\n ## Version Control (Git)\n - **Atomic Commits**: Make small, focused, and self-contained commits.\n - **Commit Messages**: Use imperative mood. Explain *what*, *why*, and *how*.\n - **History**: Regularly rebase on the main branch. Tidy history before PRs.\n\n ## Agent-Specific Mandates\n 1. **Research First**: Analyze existing tests and code style before implementing changes.\n 2. **Test Everything**: Changes are incomplete without verifying tests and regression checks.\n 3. **No Secrets**: Never output or commit secrets, API keys, or credentials.\n 4. **Detailed Explanations**: Always explain the \"why\" and \"how\" of your technical decisions.\n EOF\n ```\n\n### Why this works:\nGemini CLI automatically looks for instructions in `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md` and treats them as ``. This ensures that even if a specific repository is missing a local `GEMINI.md`, the agent will still uphold dxw's core engineering standards.", "thoughts": [ { "subject": "Planning Distribution Strategies", "description": "I'm currently strategizing how to best distribute the `GEMINI.md` file across all dxw repositories.
