# AGENTS.md - Vocalinux
Guidelines for AI agents working on this codebase.
## Project Overview
Vocalinux is a voice dictation system for Linux. It uses:
- **Python 3.8+** for the main application
- **GTK 3** (via PyGObject) for the desktop UI and system tray
- **Vosk** and **OpenAI Whisper** for speech recognition
- **Next.js/TypeScript** for the website (in `web/`)
## Build & Test Commands
### Python
```bash
# Install in development mode
./install.sh --dev
# Or manually:
pip install -e ".[dev]"
# Run all tests
pytest
# Run a single test file
pytest tests/test_command_processor.py
# Run a single test function
pytest tests/test_command_processor.py::TestCommandProcessor::test_initialization
# Run tests with verbose output
pytest -v
# Run tests with coverage
pytest --cov=src --cov-report=html
# Run tests excluding slow/integration tests
pytest -m "not slow"
pytest -m "not integration"
# Lint (check only)
make lint
# Or manually:
flake8 src/ tests/ --select=E9,F63,F7,F82
black --check --diff src/ tests/
isort --check-only --diff --profile black src/ tests/
# Auto-format code
make format
# Or manually:
black src/ tests/
isort --profile black src/ tests/
# Type checking
make typecheck
# Or: mypy src/
# Run the application
vocalinux --debug
# Or from source: python -m vocalinux.main --debug
```
### Website (Next.js)
```bash
cd web
npm install
npm run dev # Development server
npm run build # Production build
npm run lint # ESLint
npm run test # Jest tests
```
## Code Style Guidelines
### Formatting
- **Line length**: 100 characters
- **Formatter**: Black
- **Import sorter**: isort (black-compatible profile)
- **Linter**: flake8
### Import Order
Use isort with black profile. Imports should be grouped:
1. Standard library (`import os`, `from typing import ...`)
2. Third-party packages (`import gi`, `from vosk import Model`)
3. Local imports (`from vocalinux.common_types import ...`)
### Type Hints
Use type hints for all function signatures. Use `Protocol` for interfaces (see `common_types.py`).
### Naming Conventions
- **Classes**: `PascalCase` (e.g., `CommandProcessor`, `ConfigManager`)
- **Functions/methods**: `snake_case` (e.g., `process_text`, `load_config`)
- **Constants**: `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` (e.g., `CONFIG_DIR`, `DEFAULT_CONFIG`)
- **Private methods**: `_leading_underscore` (e.g., `_compile_patterns`)
- **Module-level logger**: `logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)`
### Docstrings
Use triple-quoted docstrings for modules, classes, and public functions:
```python
"""Configuration manager for Vocalinux."""
class ConfigManager:
"""Manager for user configuration settings."""
def load_config(self):
"""Load configuration from the config file."""
```
### Error Handling
Use specific exception types, log errors with context:
```python
try:
with open(CONFIG_FILE, "r") as f:
user_config = json.load(f)
except json.JSONDecodeError as e:
logger.error(f"Invalid JSON in config file: {e}")
```
### Logging
Each module should have its own logger:
```python
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
```
## Testing Guidelines
- Place tests in `tests/` directory
- Name test files as `test_*.py`, functions as `test_*`
- Use `unittest.TestCase` or plain pytest functions
- Use `pytest-mock` for mocking (via `mocker` fixture)
### Test Markers
```python
@pytest.mark.slow # Long-running tests
@pytest.mark.integration # Integration tests
@pytest.mark.audio # Requires audio hardware
```

## Commit Message Format
Follow Conventional Commits:
```
type(scope): short description
Longer description if needed.
Fixes #123
```
**Types**: `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `style`, `refactor`, `test`, `chore`
**Examples**:
```
feat(commands): add "select all" voice command
fix(tray): resolve icon not updating on Wayland
docs(readme): update installation instructions
```
## Branch Naming
- `feature/` - New features
- `fix/` - Bug fixes
- `docs/` - Documentation updates
- `refactor/` - Code refactoring
