| description | Reference for ai-dial-chat code style and conventions - naming (PascalCase components, kebab-case files), import order, React FC component pattern, Redux hooks/epic patterns, lint/format/typecheck commands, conventional commits, and the pre-PR checklist. Use when writing components, hooks, or store code, or preparing a commit/PR. |

The full development practices guide lives at .claude/guides/development-practices.md. Read it for the complete reference, then apply the conventions below.
When this applies
- Writing components, hooks, or store code
- Naming files/exports, ordering imports
- Preparing a commit or PR
Naming
| Element | Convention | Example |
|---|
| Component files | PascalCase.tsx | ErrorMessageDiv.tsx |
| Other files | kebab-case.ts | conversation-service.ts |
| Components | PascalCase named export | export const ErrorMessageDiv: FC<Props> |
| Hooks | use + camelCase | usePromptActions |
| Actions / Selectors export | PascalCase + suffix | ConversationsActions, ConversationsSelectors |
| Constants | UPPER_SNAKE_CASE | DEFAULT_TEMPERATURE |
Patterns
- Components: named export,
interface Props in the same file, FC<Props>, Tailwind classes. No class components, no default exports.
- Redux in components:
useAppDispatch / useAppSelector from @/src/store/hooks; selectors from store/selectors.ts, actions from store/actions.ts.
- Epics: type as
AppEpic, filter with ofType, switchMap for cancellable / mergeMap for concurrent, export via combineEpics. No side effects in reducers.
- Imports: third-party first, then local; single quotes, trailing commas (Prettier-enforced). Use
@/src/..., not ../../.
Commands
| Action | Command |
|---|
| Lint / fix | npm run lint / npm run lint:fix |
| Format / fix | npm run format / npm run format:fix |
| Type check | npx tsc --noEmit |
| Affected | npm run affected:lint, npm run affected:test |
Commits (Conventional Commits)
feat(chat): ..., fix(sidebar): ..., refactor(store): ... โ types: feat, fix, docs, refactor, test, chore, perf.
Pre-PR: lint:fix clean, format:fix applied, affected:test passing, no hardcoded secrets.
See .claude/guides/development-practices.md for the full style guide, env vars, and anti-patterns.
