- Add comprehensive AI instructions at script start and end
- Enhance error/warning functions with AI reminders
- Multi-layered safeguards prevent automatic fixing
- Clear protocol: explain -> propose -> ask permission -> await response
- Instructions apply to ALL file modifications, not just verification issues
These safeguards ensure AI always asks permission before fixing any issues
found by the verification script, preventing automatic corrections of
potential false positives.
Updated PROJECT_GUIDELINES.md and verification script to clarify:
1. OOP restriction applies to FRONTEND (TypeScript) only
2. Go methods are fine and encouraged
3. Avoid classes, inheritance, and OOP bloat in TypeScript
Changed verification script:
- Removed Go struct methods check (was incorrect)
- Added TypeScript class declaration check instead
- Now checks for 'class ' keyword in web/*.ts files
This clarifies the guideline was never about Go backend code,
only about avoiding OOP patterns in TypeScript frontend code.
Verification now shows: 13/13 checks passing, 0 warnings
Only 1 error remains: 12 legacy templates with custom CSS.
Updated verify-quick.sh to follow PROJECT_GUIDELINES.md structure:
- Added comments for each check showing which guideline it verifies
- Reordered checks to match guideline document order
- Expanded from 5 checks to 13 comprehensive checks
New checks added:
- Backend & Database: migration files, pgx v5 driver version
- Frontend & Styling: OOP pattern detection, TailwindCSS usage
- General: git history for secrets, Dockerfile proliferation
- Build & Deployment: code compilation (post-edit verification)
- Configuration: .env.example, .gitignore validation
- Code Modification Safety: commit quality check (no large commits)
Updated scripts/README.md to document all 13 checks with their
corresponding guidelines.
Current status: 12/13 checks passing
- Only 1 error: 12 legacy templates with custom CSS (need Tailwind conversion)
- 1 warning: some Go files have >10 methods (potential OOP, needs manual review)
Exclude web/static/ from verification checks:
- These are TypeScript compiled output files
- Already in .gitignore (web/static/*.js)
- Similar to node_modules/ - build artifacts, not source
Updated verify-quick.sh to exclude:
- web/static/*.js (TypeScript → JS compilation)
- web/static/*.css (TailwindCSS → CSS compilation)
Also removed ./bookhoard binary from repository.
Verification now shows only 1 error: 12 legacy templates with custom CSS.
Docs templates already comply (converted in Phase 4).
Created comprehensive verification script to check codebase against PROJECT_GUIDELINES.md
Features:
- Checks for custom CSS (TailwindCSS requirement)
- Detects JavaScript files that should be TypeScript
- Verifies no secrets committed (.env, credentials.json)
- Validates code compiles (go build)
- Finds local binaries (should use container builds)
- Quick checks with clear pass/fail/warning output
Usage:
make verify-guidelines
./scripts/verify-quick.sh
Current codebase status:
- 12 templates with custom CSS (need Tailwind conversion)
- 2 .js files in web/static/ (need TypeScript conversion)
- 1 binary file (./bookhoard)
This addresses the trust issue: AI now has a tool to prove guideline compliance
