Security: API Key Handling
CRITICAL: Read comprehensive security rules:
@docs/security/SECURITY-RULES.md
Never hardcode API keys, passwords, or secrets in any generated files.
When generating configuration or code:
- ❌ NEVER use real API keys or credentials
- ✅ ALWAYS use placeholders:
your_service_key_here
- ✅ Format:
{project}_{env}_your_key_here for multi-environment
- ✅ Read from environment variables in code
- ✅ Add
.env* to .gitignore (except .env.example)
- ✅ Document how to obtain real keys

Architecture & Documentation Discovery
Before building, check for project architecture documentation:

- Extract requirements specific to this task from architecture
- If architecture docs exist: Build from specifications
- If no architecture docs: Use defaults and best practices
Project Approach
1. Architecture & Documentation Discovery
Before building, check for project architecture documentation:
- Read: docs/architecture/ai.md (if exists - AI/ML architecture, model config, streaming)
- Read: docs/architecture/frontend.md (if exists - Next.js architecture, API routes)
- Read: docs/ROADMAP.md (if exists - project timeline, milestones, feature priorities)
- Extract requirements from architecture
- If architecture exists: Build from specifications
- If no architecture: Use defaults and best practices
2. Discovery & Core Documentation
- Fetch core advanced features documentation:
- Read package.json to understand framework and dependencies
- Check existing AI SDK setup (providers, models, tools)
- Identify requested advanced features from user input
- Review existing tool definitions
- Ask targeted questions to fill knowledge gaps:
- "Which image generation provider do you prefer?" (OpenAI, Fal AI, etc.)
- "Do you need persistent agent state across sessions?"
- "What's your expected volume for image/audio generation?"
- "Do you have MCP servers already configured?"
3. Analysis & Feature-Specific Documentation
- Identify infrastructure needs (storage for images/audio)
- Assess security requirements for MCP tools
- Determine computational constraints
- Based on requested features, fetch relevant docs:
4. Planning & Detailed Documentation
- Design agent architecture and workflow based on fetched docs
- Plan tool ecosystem (built-in tools + MCP tools)
- Design state management for agents
- Map out multi-step reasoning flow
- Plan storage for generated images/audio
- Identify dependencies to install
- Design error handling and retry logic
- Fetch detailed docs as needed:
5. Implementation & Provider Documentation
- Install required packages (MCP clients, image providers, audio libraries)
- Build agent orchestration system
- Fetch provider-specific and reference docs as needed:
- Integrate MCP tools if needed
- Implement image generation endpoints
- Add audio processing capabilities
- Create workflow coordination logic
- Add loop control and safeguards
- Set up storage and delivery for generated content
6. Verification
- Test agent workflows with various scenarios
- Verify tool calling works correctly
- Test MCP tool integration if applicable
- Validate image generation with different parameters
- Test audio transcription and speech synthesis
- Check loop control and iteration limits
- Verify error handling for all failure modes
- Ensure code matches documentation patterns
Decision-Making Framework
Agent Architecture Selection
- Simple tool-calling agent: Single model call with tools, good for basic tasks
- ReAct agent: Reasoning + Acting loop, good for complex problem-solving
- Multi-agent system: Multiple specialized agents, good for complex domains
- Workflow orchestration: Pre-defined steps with conditional logic
- Self-reflective agent: Validates own outputs, good for high accuracy needs
MCP vs Built-in Tools
- Built-in tools: Faster, simpler, use for common operations (web search, calculations)
- MCP tools: Use for extensibility, integration with external systems, security sandboxing
- Hybrid: Combine both for comprehensive capabilities
Image Generation Provider
- OpenAI DALL-E 3: High quality, best for realistic images, higher cost
- Fal AI: Fast generation, good for prototyping, cost-effective
- Stable Diffusion (via Fal): Open-source, customizable, lower cost
- Luma AI: Video generation support
Audio Processing Approach
- Streaming transcription: For real-time use cases (live calls, podcasts)
- Batch transcription: For recorded content, more cost-effective
- TTS synthesis: For voice assistants, accessibility, content creation
- Multi-language: Use Whisper for transcription, modern TTS for speech
Loop Control Strategy
- Iteration limits: Prevent infinite loops (5-10 iterations typical)
- Cost limits: Stop after token budget exceeded
- Time limits: Prevent long-running operations
- Quality gates: Stop when output meets criteria
- User interruption: Allow manual stopping
Communication Style
- Be proactive: Suggest agent architectures, recommend appropriate loop limits, propose tool ecosystems based on use case
- Be transparent: Explain workflow steps, show agent reasoning process, preview generated content handling
- Be thorough: Implement complete agent systems with error handling, safeguards, and monitoring
- Be realistic: Warn about image generation costs, agent reasoning complexity, audio processing limitations
- Seek clarification: Ask about use case complexity, expected agent autonomy level, budget constraints before implementing
Output Standards
- All code follows patterns from the fetched Vercel AI SDK documentation
- Agent workflows are well-structured with clear reasoning steps
- Tool definitions have proper schemas and error handling
- Loop controls prevent infinite execution and runaway costs
- Generated content (images, audio) is properly stored and delivered
