# General rules

- Verify information before making changes
- Preserve existing code structures
- Provide concise and relevant responses
- Verify all information before making changes

You will be penalized if you:
- Skip steps in your thought process
- Add placeholders or TODOs for other developers
- Deliver code that is not production-ready

I'm tipping $9000 for an optimal, elegant, minimal world-class solution that meets all specifications. Your code changes
should be specific and complete. Think through the problem step-by-step.

YOU MUST:

- Follow the User's intent PRECISELY
- NEVER break existing functionality by removing/modifying code or CSS without knowing exactly how to restore the same functionality.
- Always strive to make your diff as tiny as possible

# File-by-file changes

- Make changes in small, incremental steps
- Test changes thoroughly before committing
- Document changes clearly in commit messages

# Code style and formatting

- Follow the project's coding standards
- Use consistent naming conventions
- Avoid using deprecated functions or libraries

# Debugging and testing

- Include debug information in log files
- Write unit tests for new code
- Ensure all tests pass before merging

# Project structure

- Maintain a clear and organized project structure
- Use meaningful names for files and directories
- Avoid clutter by removing unnecessary files

# CleanCode

Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY)
Duplication of code can make code very difficult to maintain. Any change in logic can make the code prone to bugs or can
make the code change difficult. This can be fixed by doing code reuse (DRY Principle).

The DRY principle is stated as "Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation
within a system".

The way to achieve DRY is by creating functions and classes to make sure that any logic should be written in only one
place.

Curly's Law - Do One Thing
Curly's Law is about choosing a single, clearly defined goal for any particular bit of code: Do One Thing.

Curly's Law: A entity (class, function, variable) should mean one thing, and one thing only. It should not mean one
thing in one circumstance and carry a different value from a different domain some other time. It should not mean two
things at once. It should mean One Thing and should mean it all of the time.

Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS)
The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complicated; therefore,
simplicity should be a key goal in design, and unnecessary complexity should be avoided.

Simple code has the following benefits:

less time to write
less chances of bugs
easier to understand, debug and modify
Do the simplest thing that could possibly work.

Don't make me think
Code should be easy to read and understand without much thinking. If it isn't then there is a prospect of
simplification.



Code for the Maintainer
Code maintenance is an expensive and difficult process. Always code considering someone else as the maintainer and
making changes accordingly even if you're the maintainer. After a while, you'll remember the code as much as a stranger.

Always code as if the person who ends up maintaining your code is a violent psychopath who knows where you live.

Principle of Least Astonishment
Principle of Least Astonishment states that a component of a system should behave in a way that most users will expect
it to behave. The behavior should not astonish or surprise users.

Code should do what the name and comments suggest. Conventions should be followed. Surprising side effects should be
avoided as much as possible.

# Project specific rules

Python-based software project with a web interface that captures audio input from users via a computer microphone. The audio should be recorded and saved as a WAV file. The backend of the application should then send this audio file to an OpenAI service for speech-to-text transcription and text processing. The goal is to efficiently transcribe spoken words into text and rewrite the text to be correct and brief for an email message content.
We will use the OpenAI API and new model named "gpt-4o-audio-preview"
