Windmill is an open-source developer platform for building internal tools, workflows, API integrations, background jobs, workflows, and user interfaces. See @windmill-overview.mdc for full platform details.
When implementing new features in Windmill, follow these best practices:
- Clean Code First: Write clean, readable, and maintainable code. Prioritize clarity over cleverness.
- Avoid Duplication at All Costs: Before writing new code, thoroughly search for existing implementations that can be reused or extended.
- Adapt Existing Code: Refactor and generalize existing code when necessary to avoid logic duplication. Extract common patterns into reusable utilities.
- Follow Established Patterns: Study existing code patterns in the codebase and maintain consistency with established conventions.
- Single Responsibility: Each function, component, and module should have a single, well-defined responsibility.
- Incremental Implementation: Break large features into smaller, reviewable chunks that can be implemented and tested incrementally.
