Gemini Agent Instructions

This document provides instructions for the Gemini agent to follow when working on this project.

1. Project Overview

This project is a modern, cross-platform messaging application built with React Native, Expo, and Firebase. The goal is to create an application similar to Meta Messenger, with real-time communication and a modern user interface.

2. Architecture

The project follows the Clean Architecture principles as described by Robert C. Martin. The source code is organized into four main layers within the src/ directory:

  • domain: This is the core of the application. It contains the business logic and entities. It has no dependencies on any other layer.
    • entities: Application-agnostic business objects.
    • interfaces: Abstract repositories or services.
  • application: This layer contains application-specific business rules and use cases. It orchestrates the flow of data from the domain to the presentation layer.
  • infrastructure: This layer handles external concerns like databases, network requests, and other I/O. It implements the interfaces defined in the domain.
  • presentation: This layer is responsible for the UI. It includes screens, components, and navigation.

Important: When adding new code or modifying existing code, you must adhere to this architecture. Do not create dependencies that violate the Clean Architecture principles (e.g., the domain layer must not depend on the presentation layer).

3. Tech Stack & Conventions

  • Framework: React Native with Expo.
  • Language: TypeScript. All new code should be written in TypeScript and be strongly typed.
  • Styling: UI styling should be consistent with the existing application style. Use the predefined colors from src/shared/constants/colors.ts. Create reusable style objects using StyleSheet.create.
  • Navigation: The app uses @react-navigation. When adding new screens, integrate them into the existing navigation structure in src/presentation/components/navigation/.
  • Dependencies: Do not add new dependencies using npm install without asking for permission first. This project uses npm, not yarn.

4. Development Workflow

  • Build and Run: Do not attempt to execute build or run commands like expo start, npm run ios, or npm run android. The user will handle running the application and verifying changes on a simulator or device.
  • Testing: If you are asked to write tests, use Jest and React Native Testing Library. Test files should be located alongside the files they are testing, using a .test.ts or .test.tsx extension.

5. Git Operations

  • Git Commands: Do not execute any git commands (e.g., git status, git add, git commit). The user will handle all git operations.
