Overview

Localization (l10n) is the process of adapting an internationalized application to specific languages and regions. It goes beyond translation to include cultural, regional, and technical adaptations like date formats, currency, timezones, and cultural preferences.

Core Concepts

| Cultural | Adapt to cultural norms | | Regional | Adapt to regional preferences | | Technical | Format dates, numbers, currencies | | Visual | Adapt images, colors, layouts |

Inputs / Outputs / Contracts

• Inputs:
  • <e.g., env vars, request payload, file paths, schema>
• Entry Conditions:
  • <Pre-requisites: e.g., Repo initialized, DB running, specific branch checked out>
• Outputs:
  • <e.g., artifacts (PR diff, docs, tests, dashboard JSON)>
• Artifacts Required (Deliverables):
  • <e.g., Code Diff, Unit Tests, Migration Script, API Docs>
• Acceptance Evidence:
  • <e.g., Test Report (screenshot/log), Benchmark Result, Security Scan Report>
• Success Criteria:
  • <e.g., p95 < 300ms, coverage ≥ 80%>

Quick Start

Assumptions / Constraints / Non-goals

• Assumptions:
  • Development environment is properly configured
  • Required dependencies are available
  • Team has basic understanding of domain
• Constraints:
  • Must follow existing codebase conventions
  • Time and resource limitations
  • Compatibility requirements
• Non-goals:
  • This skill does not cover edge cases outside scope
  • Not a replacement for formal training

Compatibility & Prerequisites

• Supported Versions:
  • Python 3.8+
  • Node.js 16+
  • Modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
• Required AI Tools:
  • Code editor (VS Code recommended)
  • Testing framework appropriate for language
  • Version control (Git)
• Dependencies:
  • Language-specific package manager
  • Build tools
  • Testing libraries
• Environment Setup:
  • .env.example keys: API_KEY, DATABASE_URL (no values)

Test Scenario Matrix (QA Strategy)

Type	Focus Area	Required Scenarios / Mocks
Unit	Core Logic	Must cover primary logic and at least 3 edge/error cases. Target minimum 80% coverage
Integration	DB / API	All external API calls or database connections must be mocked during unit tests
E2E	User Journey	Critical user flows to test
Performance	Latency / Load	Benchmark requirements
Security	Vuln / Auth	SAST/DAST or dependency audit
Frontend	UX / A11y	Accessibility checklist (WCAG), Performance Budget (Lighthouse score)

Technical Guardrails & Security Threat Model

1. Security & Privacy (Threat Model)

• Top Threats: Injection attacks, authentication bypass, data exposure

• Data Handling: Sanitize all user inputs to prevent Injection attacks. Never log raw PII
• Secrets Management: No hardcoded API keys. Use Env Vars/Secrets Manager
• Authorization: Validate user permissions before state changes

2. Performance & Resources

• Execution Efficiency: Consider time complexity for algorithms
• Memory Management: Use streams/pagination for large data
• Resource Cleanup: Close DB connections/file handlers in finally blocks

3. Architecture & Scalability

• Design Pattern: Follow SOLID principles, use Dependency Injection
• Modularity: Decouple logic from UI/Frameworks

4. Observability & Reliability

• Logging Standards: Structured JSON, include trace IDs request_id
• Metrics: Track error_rate, latency, queue_depth
• Error Handling: Standardized error codes, no bare except
• Observability Artifacts:
  • Log Fields: timestamp, level, message, request_id
  • Metrics: request_count, error_count, response_time
  • Dashboards/Alerts: High Error Rate > 5%

Agent Directives & Error Recovery

(ข้อกำหนดสำหรับ AI Agent ในการคิดและแก้ปัญหาเมื่อเกิดข้อผิดพลาด)

• Thinking Process: Analyze root cause before fixing. Do not brute-force.
• Fallback Strategy: Stop after 3 failed test attempts. Output root cause and ask for human intervention/clarification.
• Self-Review: Check against Guardrails & Anti-patterns before finalizing.
• Output Constraints: Output ONLY the modified code block. Do not explain unless asked.
