Project Management Workflow

When working on this project, ALWAYS follow these rules and workflows to save time, maintain consistency, and prevent data loss:

1. Automated Backups

Before making significant changes or when requested to save/backup, perform a database backup.

• Use mysqldump to backup the Laragon MySQL database.
• Semantic Naming: Always use backup_iptv_nederland_YYYY_MM_DD_HH_mm.sql for precise versioning.
• Remote Storage: After local backup, ensure the file is synced to a cloud provider or pushed to a secure remote storage to prevent loss if local files are deleted.
• Recovery: Refer to .claude/recovery_plan.md for detailed restoration steps.
• Command: powershell -Command "& 'C:\laragon\bin\mysql\mysql-8.4.3-winx64\bin\mysqldump.exe' -u root iptv_nederland > backup_iptv_nederland_$((Get-Date).ToString('yyyy_MM_dd_HH_mm')).sql"

2. Git & Version Control

Always commit changes properly using semantic commit messages.

• Run git add . to stage all changes.
• Commit Format: <type>(<scope>): <subject>
  • feat: A new feature (e.g., feat(frontend): setup Next.js homepage)
  • fix: A bug fix
  • docs: Documentation only changes (tasks.md, implementation_plan.md)
  • refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
  • chore: Routine tasks, dependency updates
• Push changes: git push origin main

3. Semantic Naming Conventions

• Always use clear, descriptive names for files, functions, and variables.
• Maintain consistency with the existing codebase (e.g., PascalCase for React components, camelCase for functions, kebab-case for URLs).

4. Task Tracking

• Always keep .claude/tasks.md and .claude/implementation_plan.md up to date.
• After completing a task, update the checkmarks [x] and increment the "Total" completed count in tasks.md.
• Never guess the project state; read tasks.md to see what is next.
