Created DEVELOPMENT-GUIDELINES.md as reference for maintaining consistency:
Structure:
- Complete project file map with quick reference table
- Standard script template with proper path resolution
- User experience guidelines (cancel options, messaging)
- Shared resources documentation (reference DB, IP reputation, user manager)
- Testing checklist and guidelines
- Git workflow and commit message template
- Menu structure standards
- Quick reference for common tasks
Key Standards Documented:
- Mandatory cancel/back options on all inputs
- Consistent messaging (print_success, print_error, etc.)
- Proper path resolution for nested scripts
- Reference database usage patterns
- IP reputation system integration
- Common function usage
Purpose:
- Ensure consistency across all scripts
- Quick reference for file locations
- Guidelines for adding new features
- Testing requirements before commits
- Uniform user experience standards
This document serves as the single source of truth for development
practices and helps maintain code quality as the toolkit grows.
