microcopy
Collaborative agent UI copy guidelines for LobeHub, covering buttons, errors, onboarding, and user-facing text in English and Chinese.
- Fixed terminology table ensures consistency across 18 key terms (Workspace, Agent, Integration, etc.) in both languages
- Brand principles emphasize clarity, multi-agent collaboration, and explainability; writing rules favor short sentences, strong verbs, and actionable next steps
- Human warmth calibrated to context: 80/20 information-to-warmth by default, shifting to 70/30 for first-time users, empty states, failures, and long waits
- Error messaging framework requires three elements: what happened, optional explanation, and clear next action (Retry, View details, Settings, or support)
- Includes ready-to-use copy patterns for getting started, long waits, failures, and collaboration scenarios

2.2Kzustand
LobeHub Zustand store conventions: public/internal/dispatch action layers, optimistic update pattern, slice composition via `flattenActions`, and class-based action migration. Use whenever working under `src/store/**`, adding a `createXxxSlice`, writing `internal_*` or `internal_dispatch*` actions, designing `messagesMap`/`topicsMap` reducers, refactoring a `StateCreator` object slice into a `XxxActionImpl` class, or debugging stale store reads. Triggers on `useChatStore`/`useUserStore`/`useGlobalStore`, `createStore`, `flattenActions`, `StoreSetter`, `internal_dispatch`, 'add an action', 'zustand selector', 'store slice', 'class action', 'optimistic update'.
2.0Ktypescript
TypeScript code style and type-safety guide for LobeHub. Read before writing or editing any `.ts` / `.tsx` / `.mts` — covers `interface` vs `type`, `Record<PropertyKey, unknown>` over `any`/`object`, `as const satisfies`, `@ts-expect-error` over `@ts-ignore`, `import type` (`separate-type-imports`), `async`/`await` + `Promise.all`, `for…of` over indexed `for`, and the no-silent-`.catch(() => fallback)` rule. Also use when reviewing type quality, deciding module augmentation (`declare module`) over `namespace`, or designing extensible types (e.g. `PipelineContext.metadata`). Triggers on any TypeScript file edit, 'fix the type', 'why is this `any`', 'should this be interface or type', 'eslint type-import', 'ts-expect-error'.
1.5Kdrizzle
Drizzle ORM schema authoring and query style for LobeHub (postgres, strict mode). Use when editing anything under `src/database/schemas/`, defining `pgTable` columns/indexes/junction tables, spreading `...timestamps`, generating `createInsertSchema`/`$inferSelect`/`$inferInsert` types, writing `db.select().from(...).leftJoin(...)` queries, or deciding when to split a relational `with:` into two queries. Triggers on `pgTable`, `db.select`, `db.query`, `eq()`/`and()`/`inArray()`, `uniqueIndex`, `primaryKey`, `references({ onDelete })`, 'add a column', 'new table', 'foreign key', 'junction table', 'schema field'. For migration files specifically, see the `db-migrations` skill.
1.2Ki18n
LobeHub internationalization with react-i18next. Use when adding any user-facing string in `.tsx`/`.ts` files, creating or renaming a key under `src/locales/default/{namespace}.ts`, deciding the `{feature}.{context}.{action}` flat-key pattern, wiring a new namespace into `src/locales/default/index.ts`, or translating zh-CN/en-US JSON for dev preview. Triggers on `useTranslation`, `t('foo.bar')`, `i18next.t`, `{{variable}}` interpolation, hardcoded UI strings (zh or en) that should be extracted, 'add i18n', '加 i18n key', '翻译', 'locale key', 'namespace', 'pnpm i18n'.
