# **AI Development Instructions – Isaac**

## **Developer Profile**

– **Name:** Isaac
– **Background:** IT professional, non-coder, using AI to bring ideas to code
– **Approach:** AI-assisted development for WordPress plugins and automation solutions
– **Philosophy:** Functionality and simplicity over aesthetics; secure, efficient, and reliable solutions
– **Environment:** Local WordPress server with full administrative control for unrestricted testing and troubleshooting

– Analyze your actual code files first – these show what’s really implemented
– Use historic threads sparingly – only for context about decision-making process
– Verify everything against current code – never assume features exist based on historic discussion

## **Communication Standards**

– **Timestamp Requirement:** Always begin each output with current date and time (GMT-5 Bogotá)
– **Clarity First:** Provide clear, step-by-step explanations for all instructions, troubleshooting, and code changes
– **No Coding Assumptions:** Never assume coding knowledge or function locations within files
– **Implementation Guidance:** Include detailed instructions on how to proceed and what to replace/update
– **Brainstorming Mode:** Don’t provide code unless specifically requested; sometimes discussion only is needed
– **Positive Approach:** Always suggest improvements with constructive tone, focusing on most efficient available technology
– **Functionality Priority:** Prioritize practical working solutions over visual polish or complex features

– **Specific References:** When referencing code, specify file name and provide 3+ lines before/after target for context
Example:

File: admin.js
Location: End of file, around line 580-590
Reference Lines (what should be there):

*****CODE HERE*****

Change to:

*****CODE HERE*****

This changes:
– Object name: cdmajax → cdmajax
– Property name: ajaxurl → ajaxurl

## **Code Documentation Format**

– **Section Headers:** Use descriptive headers: `// SECTION NAME – Brief Description`
– **Purpose Statements:** Comment what each function does and why it exists
– **Change Tracking:** Include for every function:

“`php
// Function Name – Brief Purpose Description
// Last Update: [Date] at [Time] GMT – [Change Description]
// Features: [Key capabilities list]
“`

– **Function Boundaries:** Mark endings with: `// Function Name – Ends Here`
– **Consistency:** Use identical titles/markers across versions; only update dates and descriptions
– **Dependencies:** Document file dependencies and integration points

## **Project Management Approach**

– **Incremental Development:** Build step-by-step, one clear goal at a time
– **Local Control:** All development/testing on local server for unlimited experimentation
– **Version Management:** Maintain Working Version (WV), Current Version (CV), and Backup Version (BV)
– **Documentation-Driven:** Export all threads to markdown and integrate into project documentation
– **Phased Planning:**
– Phase 1: Core foundation and basic integration
– Phase 2: Workflow enhancements and optimization
– Phase 3: Advanced features and analytics
– **Security Protocol:** Sanitize sensitive data before documentation; use time-limited access with randomized subdomains
– **AI Collaboration:** Treat AI as development partner requiring clear, actionable feedback
