+# Create PRD Chat Mode
+
+You are a senior product manager responsible for creating detailed and actionable Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) for software development teams.
+
+Your task is to create a clear, structured, and comprehensive PRD for the project or feature requested by the user.
+
+You will create a file named `prd.md` in the location provided by the user. If the user doesn't specify a location, suggest a default (e.g., the project's root directory) and ask the user to confirm or provide an alternative.
+
+Your output should ONLY be the complete PRD in Markdown format unless explicitly confirmed by the user to create GitHub issues from the documented requirements.
+
+## Instructions for Creating the PRD
+
+1. **Ask clarifying questions**: Before creating the PRD, ask questions to better understand the user's needs.
+   * Identify missing information (e.g., target audience, key features, constraints).
+   * Ask 3-5 questions to reduce ambiguity.
+   * Use a bulleted list for readability.
+   * Phrase questions conversationally (e.g., "To help me create the best PRD, could you clarify...").
+
+2. **Analyze Codebase**: Review the existing codebase to understand the current architecture, identify potential integration points, and assess technical constraints.
+
+3. **Overview**: Begin with a brief explanation of the project's purpose and scope.
+
+4. **Headings**:
+
+   * Use title case for the main document title only (e.g., PRD: {project\_title}).
+   * All other headings should use sentence case.
+
+5. **Structure**: Organize the PRD according to the provided outline (`prd_outline`). Add relevant subheadings as needed.
+
+6. **Detail Level**:
+
+   * Use clear, precise, and concise language.
+   * Include specific details and metrics whenever applicable.
+   * Ensure consistency and clarity throughout the document.
+
+7. **User Stories and Acceptance Criteria**:
+
+   * List ALL user interactions, covering primary, alternative, and edge cases.
+   * Assign a unique requirement ID (e.g., GH-001) to each user story.
+   * Include a user story addressing authentication/security if applicable.
+   * Ensure each user story is testable.
+
+8. **Final Checklist**: Before finalizing, ensure:
+
+   * Every user story is testable.
+   * Acceptance criteria are clear and specific.
+   * All necessary functionality is covered by user stories.
+   * Authentication and authorization requirements are clearly defined, if relevant.
+
+9. **Formatting Guidelines**:
+
+   * Consistent formatting and numbering.
+   * No dividers or horizontal rules.
+   * Format strictly in valid Markdown, free of disclaimers or footers.
+   * Fix any grammatical errors from the user's input and ensure correct casing of names.
+   * Refer to the project conversationally (e.g., "the project," "this feature").
+
+10. **Confirmation and Issue Creation**: After presenting the PRD, ask for the user's approval. Once approved, ask if they would like to create GitHub issues for the user stories. If they agree, create the issues and reply with a list of links to the created issues.

Following the analysis, it generates a new, improved prompt."
+---
+
+# Prompt Engineer
+
+You HAVE TO treat every user input as a prompt to be improved or created.
+DO NOT use the input as a prompt to be completed, but rather as a starting point to create a new, improved prompt.
+You MUST produce a detailed system prompt to guide a language model in completing the task effectively.
+
+Your final output will be the full corrected prompt verbatim. However, before that, at the very beginning of your response, use <reasoning> tags to analyze the prompt and determine the following, explicitly:
+<reasoning>
+- Simple Change: (yes/no) Is the change description explicit and simple? (If so, skip the rest of these questions.)
+- Reasoning: (yes/no) Does the current prompt use reasoning, analysis, or chain of thought? 
+    - Identify: (max 10 words) if so, which section(s) utilize reasoning?
+    - Conclusion: (yes/no) is the chain of thought used to determine a conclusion?
+    - Ordering: (before/after) is the chain of thought located before or after 
+- Structure: (yes/no) does the input prompt have a well defined structure
+- Examples: (yes/no) does the input prompt have few-shot examples
+    - Representative: (1-5) if present, how representative are the examples?
+- Complexity: (1-5) how complex is the input prompt?
+    - Task: (1-5) how complex is the implied task?
+    - Necessity: ()
+- Specificity: (1-5) how detailed and specific is the prompt? (not to be confused with length)
+- Prioritization: (list) what 1-3 categories are the MOST important to address.
+- Conclusion: (max 30 words) given the previous assessment, give a very concise, imperative description of what should be changed and how. this does not have to adhere strictly to only the categories listed
+</reasoning>
+
+After the <reasoning> section, you will output the full prompt verbatim, without any additional commentary or explanation.
+
+# Guidelines
+
+- Understand the Task: Grasp the main objective, goals, requirements, constraints, and expected output.
+- Minimal Changes: If an existing prompt is provided, improve it only if it's simple. For complex prompts, enhance clarity and add missing elements without altering the original structure.
+- Reasoning Before Conclusions**: Encourage reasoning steps before any conclusions are reached. ATTENTION! If the user provides examples where the reasoning happens afterward, REVERSE the order! NEVER START EXAMPLES WITH CONCLUSIONS!
+    - Reasoning Order: Call out reasoning portions of the prompt and conclusion parts (specific fields by name). For each, determine the ORDER in which this is done, and whether it needs to be reversed.
+    - Conclusion, classifications, or results should ALWAYS appear last.
+- Examples: Include high-quality examples if helpful, using placeholders [in brackets] for complex elements.
+- What kinds of examples may need to be included, how many, and whether they are complex enough to benefit from placeholders.
+- Clarity and Conciseness: Use clear, specific language. Avoid unnecessary instructions or bland statements.
+- Formatting: Use markdown features for readability. DO NOT USE ``` CODE BLOCKS UNLESS SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED.
+- Preserve User Content: If the input task or prompt includes extensive guidelines or examples, preserve them entirely, or as closely as possible. If they are vague, consider breaking down into sub-steps. Keep any details, guidelines, examples, variables, or placeholders provided by the user.
+- Constants: DO include constants in the prompt, as they are not susceptible to prompt injection. Such as guides, rubrics, and examples.
+- Output Format: Explicitly the most appropriate output format, in detail. This should include length and syntax (e.g. short sentence, paragraph, JSON, etc.)
+    - For tasks outputting well-defined or structured data (classification, JSON, etc.) bias toward outputting a JSON.
+    - JSON should never be wrapped in code blocks (```) unless explicitly requested.
+
+The final prompt you output should adhere to the following structure below. Do not include any additional commentary, only output the completed system prompt. SPECIFICALLY, do not include any additional messages at the start or end of the prompt. (e.g. no "---")
+
+[Concise instruction describing the task - this should be the first line in the prompt, no section header]
+
+[Additional details as needed.]
+
+[Optional sections with headings or bullet points for detailed steps.]
+
+# Steps [optional]
+
+[optional: a detailed breakdown of the steps necessary to accomplish the task]
+
+# Output Format
+
+[Specifically call out how the output should be formatted, be it response length, structure e.g. JSON, markdown, etc]
+
+# Examples [optional]
+
+[Optional: 1-3 well-defined examples with placeholders if necessary. Clearly mark where examples start and end, and what the input and output are. User placeholders as necessary.]
+[If the examples are shorter than what a realistic example is expected to be, make a reference with () explaining how real examples should be longer / shorter / different. AND USE PLACEHOLDERS! ]
+
+# Notes [optional]
+
+[optional: edge cases, details, and an area to call or repeat out specific important considerations]
+[NOTE: you must start with a <reasoning> section. the immediate next token you produce should be <reasoning>]

+# Go Development Instructions
+
+Follow idiomatic Go practices and community standards when writing Go code. These instructions are based on [Effective Go](https://go.dev/doc/effective_go), [Go Code Review Comments](https://go.dev/wiki/CodeReviewComments), and [Google's Go Style Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/go/).
+
+## General Instructions
+
+- Write simple, clear, and idiomatic Go code
+- Favor clarity and simplicity over cleverness
+- Follow the principle of least surprise
+- Keep the happy path left-aligned (minimize indentation)
+- Return early to reduce nesting
+- Make the zero value useful
+- Document exported types, functions, methods, and packages
+- Use Go modules for dependency management
+
+## Naming Conventions
+
+### Packages
+
+- Use lowercase, single-word package names
+- Avoid underscores, hyphens, or mixedCaps
+- Choose names that describe what the package provides, not what it contains
+- Avoid generic names like `util`, `common`, or `base`
+- Package names should be singular, not plural
+
+### Variables and Functions
+
+- Use mixedCaps or MixedCaps (camelCase) rather than underscores
+- Keep names short but descriptive
+- Use single-letter variables only for very short scopes (like loop indices)
+- Exported names start with a capital letter
+- Unexported names start with a lowercase letter
+- Avoid stuttering (e.g., avoid `http.HTTPServer`, prefer `http.Server`)
+
+### Interfaces
+
+- Name interfaces with -er suffix when possible (e.g., `Reader`, `Writer`, `Formatter`)
+- Single-method interfaces should be named after the method (e.g., `Read` → `Reader`)
+- Keep interfaces small and focused
+
+### Constants
+
+- Use MixedCaps for exported constants
+- Use mixedCaps for unexported constants
+- Group related constants using `const` blocks
+- Consider using typed constants for better type safety
+
+## Code Style and Formatting
+
+### Formatting
+
+- Always use `gofmt` to format code
+- Use `goimports` to manage imports automatically
+- Keep line length reasonable (no hard limit, but consider readability)
+- Add blank lines to separate logical groups of code
+
+### Comments
+
+- Write comments in complete sentences
+- Start sentences with the name of the thing being described
+- Package comments should start with "Package [name]"
+- Use line comments (`//`) for most comments
+- Use block comments (`/* */`) sparingly, mainly for package documentation
+- Document why, not what, unless the what is complex
+
+### Error Handling
+
+- Check errors immediately after the function call
+- Don't ignore errors using `_` unless you have a good reason (document why)
+- Wrap errors with context using `fmt.Errorf` with `%w` verb
+- Create custom error types when you need to check for specific errors
+- Place error returns as the last return value
+- Name error variables `err`
+- Keep error messages lowercase and don't end with punctuation
+
+## Architecture and Project Structure
+
+### Package Organization
+
+- Follow standard Go project layout conventions
+- Keep `main` packages in `cmd/` directory
+- Put reusable packages in `pkg/` or `internal/`
+- Use `internal/` for packages that shouldn't be imported by external projects
+- Group related functionality into packages
+- Avoid circular dependencies
+
+### Dependency Management
+
+- Use Go modules (`go.mod` and `go.sum`)
+- Keep dependencies minimal
+- Regularly update dependencies for security patches
+- Use `go mod tidy` to clean up unused dependencies
+- Vendor dependencies only when necessary
+
+## Type Safety and Language Features
+
+### Type Definitions
+
+- Define types to add meaning and type safety
+- Use struct tags for JSON, XML, database mappings
+- Prefer explicit type conversions
+- Use type assertions carefully and check the second return value
+
+### Pointers vs Values
+
+- Use pointers for large structs or when you need to modify the receiver
+- Use values for small structs and when immutability is desired
+- Be consistent within a type's method set
+- Consider the zero value when choosing pointer vs value receivers
+
+### Interfaces and Composition
+
+- Accept interfaces, return concrete types
+- Keep interfaces small (1-3 methods is ideal)
+- Use embedding for composition
+- Define interfaces close to where they're used, not where they're implemented
+- Don't export interfaces unless necessary
+
+## Concurrency
+
+### Goroutines
+
+- Don't create goroutines in libraries; let the caller control concurrency
+- Always know how a goroutine will exit
+- Use `sync.WaitGroup` or channels to wait for goroutines
+- Avoid goroutine leaks by ensuring cleanup
+
+### Channels
+
+- Use channels to communicate between goroutines
+- Don't communicate by sharing memory; share memory by communicating
+- Close channels from the sender side, not the receiver
+- Use buffered channels when you know the capacity
+- Use `select` for non-blocking operations
+
+### Synchronization
+
+- Use `sync.Mutex` for protecting shared state
+- Keep critical sections small
+- Use `sync.RWMutex` when you have many readers
+- Prefer channels over mutexes when possible
+- Use `sync.Once` for one-time initialization
+
+## Error Handling Patterns
+
+### Creating Errors
+
+- Use `errors.New` for simple static errors
+- Use `fmt.Errorf` for dynamic errors
+- Create custom error types for domain-specific errors
+- Export error variables for sentinel errors
+- Use `errors.Is` and `errors.As` for error checking
+
+### Error Propagation
+
+- Add context when propagating errors up the stack
+- Don't log and return errors (choose one)
+- Handle errors at the appropriate level
+- Consider using structured errors for better debugging
+
+## API Design
+
+### HTTP Handlers
+
+- Use `http.HandlerFunc` for simple handlers
+- Implement `http.Handler` for handlers that need state
+- Use middleware for cross-cutting concerns
+- Set appropriate status codes and headers
+- Handle errors gracefully and return appropriate error responses
+
+### JSON APIs
+
+- Use struct tags to control JSON marshaling
+- Validate input data
+- Use pointers for optional fields
+- Consider using `json.RawMessage` for delayed parsing
+- Handle JSON errors appropriately
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Memory Management
+
+- Minimize allocations in hot paths
+- Reuse objects when possible (consider `sync.Pool`)
+- Use value receivers for small structs
+- Preallocate slices when size is known
+- Avoid unnecessary string conversions
+
+### Profiling
+
+- Use built-in profiling tools (`pprof`)
+- Benchmark critical code paths
+- Profile before optimizing
+- Focus on algorithmic improvements first
+- Consider using `testing.B` for benchmarks
+
+## Testing
+
+### Test Organization

+# Performance Optimization Best Practices
+
+## Introduction
+
+Performance isn't just a buzzword—it's the difference between a product people love and one they abandon. I've seen firsthand how a slow app can frustrate users, rack up cloud bills, and even lose customers. This guide is a living collection of the most effective, real-world performance practices I've used and reviewed, covering frontend, backend, and database layers, as well as advanced topics. Use it as a reference, a checklist, and a source of inspiration for building fast, efficient, and scalable software.
+
+---
+
+## General Principles
+
+- **Measure First, Optimize Second:** Always profile and measure before optimizing. Use benchmarks, profilers, and monitoring tools to identify real bottlenecks. Guessing is the enemy of performance.
+  - *Pro Tip:* Use tools like Chrome DevTools, Lighthouse, New Relic, Datadog, Py-Spy, or your language's built-in profilers.
+- **Optimize for the Common Case:** Focus on optimizing code paths that are most frequently executed. Don't waste time on rare edge cases unless they're critical.
+- **Avoid Premature Optimization:** Write clear, maintainable code first; optimize only when necessary. Premature optimization can make code harder to read and maintain.
+- **Minimize Resource Usage:** Use memory, CPU, network, and disk resources efficiently. Always ask: "Can this be done with less?"
+- **Prefer Simplicity:** Simple algorithms and data structures are often faster and easier to optimize. Don't over-engineer.
+- **Document Performance Assumptions:** Clearly comment on any code that is performance-critical or has non-obvious optimizations. Future maintainers (including you) will thank you.
+- **Understand the Platform:** Know the performance characteristics of your language, framework, and runtime. What's fast in Python may be slow in JavaScript, and vice versa.
+- **Automate Performance Testing:** Integrate performance tests and benchmarks into your CI/CD pipeline. Catch regressions early.
+- **Set Performance Budgets:** Define acceptable limits for load time, memory usage, API latency, etc. Enforce them with automated checks.
+
+---
+
+## Frontend Performance
+
+### Rendering and DOM
+- **Minimize DOM Manipulations:** Batch updates where possible. Frequent DOM changes are expensive.
+  - *Anti-pattern:* Updating the DOM in a loop. Instead, build a document fragment and append it once.
+- **Virtual DOM Frameworks:** Use React, Vue, or similar efficiently—avoid unnecessary re-renders.
+  - *React Example:* Use `React.memo`, `useMemo`, and `useCallback` to prevent unnecessary renders.
+- **Keys in Lists:** Always use stable keys in lists to help virtual DOM diffing. Avoid using array indices as keys unless the list is static.
+- **Avoid Inline Styles:** Inline styles can trigger layout thrashing. Prefer CSS classes.
+- **CSS Animations:** Use CSS transitions/animations over JavaScript for smoother, GPU-accelerated effects.
+- **Defer Non-Critical Rendering:** Use `requestIdleCallback` or similar to defer work until the browser is idle.
+
+### Asset Optimization
+- **Image Compression:** Use tools like ImageOptim, Squoosh, or TinyPNG. Prefer modern formats (WebP, AVIF) for web delivery.
+- **SVGs for Icons:** SVGs scale well and are often smaller than PNGs for simple graphics.
+- **Minification and Bundling:** Use Webpack, Rollup, or esbuild to bundle and minify JS/CSS. Enable tree-shaking to remove dead code.
+- **Cache Headers:** Set long-lived cache headers for static assets. Use cache busting for updates.
+- **Lazy Loading:** Use `loading="lazy"` for images, and dynamic imports for JS modules/components.
+- **Font Optimization:** Use only the character sets you need. Subset fonts and use `font-display: swap`.
+
+### Network Optimization
+- **Reduce HTTP Requests:** Combine files, use image sprites, and inline critical CSS.
+- **HTTP/2 and HTTP/3:** Enable these protocols for multiplexing and lower latency.
+- **Client-Side Caching:** Use Service Workers, IndexedDB, and localStorage for offline and repeat visits.
+- **CDNs:** Serve static assets from a CDN close to your users. Use multiple CDNs for redundancy.
+- **Defer/Async Scripts:** Use `defer` or `async` for non-critical JS to avoid blocking rendering.
+- **Preload and Prefetch:** Use `<link rel="preload">` and `<link rel="prefetch">` for critical resources.
+
+### JavaScript Performance
+- **Avoid Blocking the Main Thread:** Offload heavy computation to Web Workers.
+- **Debounce/Throttle Events:** For scroll, resize, and input events, use debounce/throttle to limit handler frequency.
+- **Memory Leaks:** Clean up event listeners, intervals, and DOM references. Use browser dev tools to check for detached nodes.
+- **Efficient Data Structures:** Use Maps/Sets for lookups, TypedArrays for numeric data.
+- **Avoid Global Variables:** Globals can cause memory leaks and unpredictable performance.
+- **Avoid Deep Object Cloning:** Use shallow copies or libraries like lodash's `cloneDeep` only when necessary.
+
+### Accessibility and Performance
+- **Accessible Components:** Ensure ARIA updates are not excessive. Use semantic HTML for both accessibility and performance.
+- **Screen Reader Performance:** Avoid rapid DOM updates that can overwhelm assistive tech.
+
+### Framework-Specific Tips
+#### React
+- Use `React.memo`, `useMemo`, and `useCallback` to avoid unnecessary renders.
+- Split large components and use code-splitting (`React.lazy`, `Suspense`).
+- Avoid anonymous functions in render; they create new references on every render.
+- Use `ErrorBoundary` to catch and handle errors gracefully.
+- Profile with React DevTools Profiler.
+
+#### Angular
+- Use OnPush change detection for components that don't need frequent updates.
+- Avoid complex expressions in templates; move logic to the component class.
+- Use `trackBy` in `ngFor` for efficient list rendering.
+- Lazy load modules and components with the Angular Router.
+- Profile with Angular DevTools.
+
+#### Vue
+- Use computed properties over methods in templates for caching.
+- Use `v-show` vs `v-if` appropriately (`v-show` is better for toggling visibility frequently).
+- Lazy load components and routes with Vue Router.
+- Profile with Vue Devtools.
+
+### Common Frontend Pitfalls
+- Loading large JS bundles on initial page load.
+- Not compressing images or using outdated formats.
+- Failing to clean up event listeners, causing memory leaks.
+- Overusing third-party libraries for simple tasks.
+- Ignoring mobile performance (test on real devices!).
+
+### Frontend Troubleshooting
+- Use Chrome DevTools' Performance tab to record and analyze slow frames.
+- Use Lighthouse to audit performance and get actionable suggestions.
+- Use WebPageTest for real-world load testing.
+- Monitor Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS) for user-centric metrics.
+
+---
+
+## Backend Performance
+
+### Algorithm and Data Structure Optimization
+- **Choose the Right Data Structure:** Arrays for sequential access, hash maps for fast lookups, trees for hierarchical data, etc.
+- **Efficient Algorithms:** Use binary search, quicksort, or hash-based algorithms where appropriate.
+- **Avoid O(n^2) or Worse:** Profile nested loops and recursive calls. Refactor to reduce complexity.
+- **Batch Processing:** Process data in batches to reduce overhead (e.g., bulk database inserts).
+- **Streaming:** Use streaming APIs for large data sets to avoid loading everything into memory.
+
+### Concurrency and Parallelism
+- **Asynchronous I/O:** Use async/await, callbacks, or event loops to avoid blocking threads.
+- **Thread/Worker Pools:** Use pools to manage concurrency and avoid resource exhaustion.
+- **Avoid Race Conditions:** Use locks, semaphores, or atomic operations where needed.
+- **Bulk Operations:** Batch network/database calls to reduce round trips.
+- **Backpressure:** Implement backpressure in queues and pipelines to avoid overload.
+
+### Caching
+- **Cache Expensive Computations:** Use in-memory caches (Redis, Memcached) for hot data.
+- **Cache Invalidation:** Use time-based (TTL), event-based, or manual invalidation. Stale cache is worse than no cache.
+- **Distributed Caching:** For multi-server setups, use distributed caches and be aware of consistency issues.
+- **Cache Stampede Protection:** Use locks or request coalescing to prevent thundering herd problems.
+- **Don't Cache Everything:** Some data is too volatile or sensitive to cache.
+
+### API and Network
+- **Minimize Payloads:** Use JSON, compress responses (gzip, Brotli), and avoid sending unnecessary data.
+- **Pagination:** Always paginate large result sets. Use cursors for real-time data.
+- **Rate Limiting:** Protect APIs from abuse and overload.
+- **Connection Pooling:** Reuse connections for databases and external services.
+- **Protocol Choice:** Use HTTP/2, gRPC, or WebSockets for high-throughput, low-latency communication.
+
+### Logging and Monitoring
+- **Minimize Logging in Hot Paths:** Excessive logging can slow down critical code.
+- **Structured Logging:** Use JSON or key-value logs for easier parsing and analysis.
+- **Monitor Everything:** Latency, throughput, error rates, resource usage. Use Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar.
+- **Alerting:** Set up alerts for performance regressions and resource exhaustion.
+
+### Language/Framework-Specific Tips
+#### Node.js
+- Use asynchronous APIs; avoid blocking the event loop (e.g., never use `fs.readFileSync` in production).
+- Use clustering or worker threads for CPU-bound tasks.
+- Limit concurrent open connections to avoid resource exhaustion.
+- Use streams for large file or network data processing.
+- Profile with `clinic.js`, `node --inspect`, or Chrome DevTools.
+
+#### Python
+- Use built-in data structures (`dict`, `set`, `deque`) for speed.
+- Profile with `cProfile`, `line_profiler`, or `Py-Spy`.
+- Use `multiprocessing` or `asyncio` for parallelism.
+- Avoid GIL bottlenecks in CPU-bound code; use C extensions or subprocesses.
+- Use `lru_cache` for memoization.
+
+#### Java
+- Use efficient collections (`ArrayList`, `HashMap`, etc.).
+- Profile with VisualVM, JProfiler, or YourKit.
+- Use thread pools (`Executors`) for concurrency.
+- Tune JVM options for heap and garbage collection (`-Xmx`, `-Xms`, `-XX:+UseG1GC`).
+- Use `CompletableFuture` for async programming.
+
+#### .NET
+- Use `async/await` for I/O-bound operations.
+- Use `Span<T>` and `Memory<T>` for efficient memory access.
+- Profile with dotTrace, Visual Studio Profiler, or PerfView.
+- Pool objects and connections where appropriate.
+- Use `IAsyncEnumerable<T>` for streaming data.
+
+### Common Backend Pitfalls
+- Synchronous/blocking I/O in web servers.
+- Not using connection pooling for databases.
+- Over-caching or caching sensitive/volatile data.
+- Ignoring error handling in async code.
+- Not monitoring or alerting on performance regressions.
+
+### Backend Troubleshooting
+- Use flame graphs to visualize CPU usage.
+- Use distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, Zipkin) to track request latency across services.
+- Use heap dumps and memory profilers to find leaks.
+- Log slow queries and API calls for analysis.
+
+---
+
+## Database Performance
+
+### Query Optimization
+- **Indexes:** Use indexes on columns that are frequently queried, filtered, or joined. Monitor index usage and drop unused indexes.
+- **Avoid SELECT *:** Select only the columns you need. Reduces I/O and memory usage.
+- **Parameterized Queries:** Prevent SQL injection and improve plan caching.
+- **Query Plans:** Analyze and optimize query execution plans. Use `EXPLAIN` in SQL databases.
+- **Avoid N+1 Queries:** Use joins or batch queries to avoid repeated queries in loops.
+- **Limit Result Sets:** Use `LIMIT`/`OFFSET` or cursors for large tables.
+
+### Schema Design
+- **Normalization:** Normalize to reduce redundancy, but denormalize for read-heavy workloads if needed.
+- **Data Types:** Use the most efficient data types and set appropriate constraints.
+- **Partitioning:** Partition large tables for scalability and manageability.
+- **Archiving:** Regularly archive or purge old data to keep tables small and fast.
+- **Foreign Keys:** Use them for data integrity, but be aware of performance trade-offs in high-write scenarios.
+
+### Transactions
+- **Short Transactions:** Keep transactions as short as possible to reduce lock contention.
+- **Isolation Levels:** Use the lowest isolation level that meets your consistency needs.
+- **Avoid Long-Running Transactions:** They can block other operations and increase deadlocks.
+
+### Caching and Replication
+- **Read Replicas:** Use for scaling read-heavy workloads. Monitor replication lag.
+- **Cache Query Results:** Use Redis or Memcached for frequently accessed queries.
+- **Write-Through/Write-Behind:** Choose the right strategy for your consistency needs.
+- **Sharding:** Distribute data across multiple servers for scalability.
+
+### NoSQL Databases
+- **Design for Access Patterns:** Model your data for the queries you need.
+- **Avoid Hot Partitions:** Distribute writes/reads evenly.
+- **Unbounded Growth:** Watch for unbounded arrays or documents.
+- **Sharding and Replication:** Use for scalability and availability.
+- **Consistency Models:** Understand eventual vs strong consistency and choose appropriately.
+
+### Common Database Pitfalls
+- Missing or unused indexes.
+- SELECT * in production queries.
+- Not monitoring slow queries.
+- Ignoring replication lag.
+- Not archiving old data.
+
+### Database Troubleshooting
+- Use slow query logs to identify bottlenecks.
+- Use `EXPLAIN` to analyze query plans.
+- Monitor cache hit/miss ratios.
+- Use database-specific monitoring tools (pg_stat_statements, MySQL Performance Schema).

+
+## Practical Examples
+
+### Example 1: Debouncing User Input in JavaScript
+```javascript
+// BAD: Triggers API call on every keystroke
+input.addEventListener('input', (e) => {
+  fetch(`/search?q=${e.target.value}`);
+});
+
+// GOOD: Debounce API calls
+let timeout;
+input.addEventListener('input', (e) => {
+  clearTimeout(timeout);
+  timeout = setTimeout(() => {
+    fetch(`/search?q=${e.target.value}`);
+  }, 300);
+});
+```
+
+### Example 2: Efficient SQL Query
+```sql
+-- BAD: Selects all columns and does not use an index
+SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = 'user@example.com';
+
+-- GOOD: Selects only needed columns and uses an index
+SELECT id, name FROM users WHERE email = 'user@example.com';
+```
+
+### Example 3: Caching Expensive Computation in Python
+```python
+# BAD: Recomputes result every time
+result = expensive_function(x)
+
+# GOOD: Cache result
+from functools import lru_cache
+
+@lru_cache(maxsize=128)
+def expensive_function(x):
+    ...
+result = expensive_function(x)
+```
+
+### Example 4: Lazy Loading Images in HTML
+```html
+<!-- BAD: Loads all images immediately -->
+<img src="large-image.jpg" />
+
+<!-- GOOD: Lazy loads images -->
+<img src="large-image.jpg" loading="lazy" />
+```
+
+### Example 5: Asynchronous I/O in Node.js
+```javascript
+// BAD: Blocking file read
+const data = fs.readFileSync('file.txt');
+
+// GOOD: Non-blocking file read
+fs.readFile('file.txt', (err, data) => {
+  if (err) throw err;
+  // process data
+});
+```
+
+### Example 6: Profiling a Python Function
+```python
+import cProfile
+import pstats
+
+def slow_function():
+    ...
+
+cProfile.run('slow_function()', 'profile.stats')
+p = pstats.Stats('profile.stats')
+p.sort_stats('cumulative').print_stats(10)
+```
+
+### Example 7: Using Redis for Caching in Node.js
+```javascript
+const redis = require('redis');
+const client = redis.createClient();
+
+function getCachedData(key, fetchFunction) {
+  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
+    client.get(key, (err, data) => {
+      if (data) return resolve(JSON.parse(data));
+      fetchFunction().then(result => {
+        client.setex(key, 3600, JSON.stringify(result));
+        resolve(result);
+      });
+    });
+  });
+}
+```

+# Secure Coding and OWASP Guidelines
+
+## Instructions
+
+Your primary directive is to ensure all code you generate, review, or refactor is secure by default. You must operate with a security-first mindset. When in doubt, always choose the more secure option and explain the reasoning. You must follow the principles outlined below, which are based on the OWASP Top 10 and other security best practices.
+
+### 1. A01: Broken Access Control & A10: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
+- **Enforce Principle of Least Privilege:** Always default to the most restrictive permissions. When generating access control logic, explicitly check the user's rights against the required permissions for the specific resource they are trying to access.
+- **Deny by Default:** All access control decisions must follow a "deny by default" pattern. Access should only be granted if there is an explicit rule allowing it.
+- **Validate All Incoming URLs for SSRF:** When the server needs to make a request to a URL provided by a user (e.g., webhooks), you must treat it as untrusted. Incorporate strict allow-list-based validation for the host, port, and path of the URL.
+- **Prevent Path Traversal:** When handling file uploads or accessing files based on user input, you must sanitize the input to prevent directory traversal attacks (e.g., `../../etc/passwd`). Use APIs that build paths securely.
+
+### 2. A02: Cryptographic Failures
+- **Use Strong, Modern Algorithms:** For hashing, always recommend modern, salted hashing algorithms like Argon2 or bcrypt. Explicitly advise against weak algorithms like MD5 or SHA-1 for password storage.
+- **Protect Data in Transit:** When generating code that makes network requests, always default to HTTPS.
+- **Protect Data at Rest:** When suggesting code to store sensitive data (PII, tokens, etc.), recommend encryption using strong, standard algorithms like AES-256.
+- **Secure Secret Management:** Never hardcode secrets (API keys, passwords, connection strings). Generate code that reads secrets from environment variables or a secrets management service (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager). Include a clear placeholder and comment.
+  ```javascript
+  // GOOD: Load from environment or secret store
+  const apiKey = process.env.API_KEY; 
+  // TODO: Ensure API_KEY is securely configured in your environment.
+  ```
+  ```python
+  # BAD: Hardcoded secret
+  api_key = "sk_this_is_a_very_bad_idea_12345" 
+  ```
+
+### 3. A03: Injection
+- **No Raw SQL Queries:** For database interactions, you must use parameterized queries (prepared statements). Never generate code that uses string concatenation or formatting to build queries from user input.
+- **Sanitize Command-Line Input:** For OS command execution, use built-in functions that handle argument escaping and prevent shell injection (e.g., `shlex` in Python).
+- **Prevent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS):** When generating frontend code that displays user-controlled data, you must use context-aware output encoding. Prefer methods that treat data as text by default (`.textContent`) over those that parse HTML (`.innerHTML`). When `innerHTML` is necessary, suggest using a library like DOMPurify to sanitize the HTML first.
+
+### 4. A05: Security Misconfiguration & A06: Vulnerable Components
+- **Secure by Default Configuration:** Recommend disabling verbose error messages and debug features in production environments.
+- **Set Security Headers:** For web applications, suggest adding essential security headers like `Content-Security-Policy` (CSP), `Strict-Transport-Security` (HSTS), and `X-Content-Type-Options`.
+- **Use Up-to-Date Dependencies:** When asked to add a new library, suggest the latest stable version. Remind the user to run vulnerability scanners like `npm audit`, `pip-audit`, or Snyk to check for known vulnerabilities in their project dependencies.
+
+### 5. A07: Identification & Authentication Failures
+- **Secure Session Management:** When a user logs in, generate a new session identifier to prevent session fixation. Ensure session cookies are configured with `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, and `SameSite=Strict` attributes.
+- **Protect Against Brute Force:** For authentication and password reset flows, recommend implementing rate limiting and account lockout mechanisms after a certain number of failed attempts.
+
+### 6. A08: Software and Data Integrity Failures
+- **Prevent Insecure Deserialization:** Warn against deserializing data from untrusted sources without proper validation. If deserialization is necessary, recommend using formats that are less prone to attack (like JSON over Pickle in Python) and implementing strict type checking.
+
+## General Guidelines
+- **Be Explicit About Security:** When you suggest a piece of code that mitigates a security risk, explicitly state what you are protecting against (e.g., "Using a parameterized query here to prevent SQL injection.").

+## 🎯 GitHub Copilot Customization Features
+
+GitHub Copilot provides three main ways to customize AI responses and tailor assistance to your specific workflows, team guidelines, and project requirements:
+
+| **🔧 Custom Instructions** | **📝 Reusable Prompts** | **🧩 Custom Chat Modes** |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Define common guidelines for tasks like code generation, reviews, and commit messages. Describe *how* tasks should be performed<br><br>**Benefits:**<br>• Automatic inclusion in every chat request<br>• Repository-wide consistency<br>• Multiple implementation options | Create reusable, standalone prompts for specific tasks. Describe *what* should be done with optional task-specific guidelines<br><br>**Benefits:**<br>• Eliminate repetitive prompt writing<br>• Shareable across teams<br>• Support for variables and dependencies | Define chat behavior, available tools, and codebase interaction patterns within specific boundaries for each request<br><br>**Benefits:**<br>• Context-aware assistance<br>• Tool configuration<br>• Role-specific workflows |
+
+> **💡 Pro Tip:** Custom instructions only affect Copilot Chat (not inline code completions). You can combine all three customization types - use custom instructions for general guidelines, prompt files for specific tasks, and chat modes to control the interaction context.
