data expert

data analysis initial exploration

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

• Begin analysis with data exploration and summary statistics.
• Implement data quality checks at the beginning of analysis.
• Handle missing data appropriately (imputation, removal, or flagging).

data fetching rules for server components

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

• For data fetching in server components (in .tsx files):

tsx async function getData() { const res = await fetch('<https://api.example.com/data>', { next: { revalidate: 3600 } }) if (!res.ok) throw new Error('Failed to fetch data') return res.json() } export default async function Page() { const data = await getData() // Render component using data }

data pipeline management with dvc

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

• Data Pipeline Management: Employ scripts or tools like dvc to manage data preprocessing and ensure reproducibility.

data synchronization rules

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

• Implement Data Synchronization:
• Create an efficient system for keeping the region grid data synchronized between the JavaScript UI and the WASM simulation. This might involve:

a. Implementing periodic updates at set intervals. b. Creating an event-driven synchronization system that updates when changes occur. c. Optimizing large data transfers to maintain smooth performance, possibly using typed arrays or other efficient data structures. d. Implementing a queuing system for updates to prevent overwhelming the simulation with rapid changes.

data tracking and charts rule

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

• There should be a chart page that tracks just about everything that can be tracked in the game.

data validation with pydantic

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

• Data Validation: Use Pydantic models for rigorous

User: "Review this code for data best practices"
Agent: [Analyzes code against consolidated guidelines and provides specific feedback]

Iron Laws

1. ALWAYS validate all external data at system boundaries using a schema validator (Zod, Pydantic, Joi) — never trust API responses, user input, or file contents without validation. 2. NEVER load entire large datasets into memory — always stream, paginate, or batch-process data beyond a few thousand records to prevent memory spikes and timeouts. 3. ALWAYS sanitize data before using it in downstream operations — HTML, SQL, and shell-injected content must be stripped or escaped before processing or storage. 4. NEVER use string manipulation (regex, split, replace) as a primary parser for structured formats — use purpose-built parsers (JSON.parse, csv-parse, xml2js) for reliable type-safe results. 5. ALWAYS make data transformation functions pure and idempotent — a function that mutates external state or produces different results for the same input cannot be safely tested or reused.

Anti-Patterns

Memory Protocol (MANDATORY)

Before starting:

cat .claude/context/memory/learnings.md

After completing: Record any new patterns or exceptions discovered.

ASSUME INTERRUPTION: Your context may reset. If it's not in memory, it didn't happen.
