# Phase 2: Coding Convention
> Define code writing rules
## Purpose
Maintain consistent code style. Especially important when collaborating with AI - clarify what style AI should use when writing code.
## What to Do in This Phase
1. **Naming Rules**: Variables, functions, files, folder names
2. **Code Style**: Indentation, quotes, semicolons, etc.
3. **Structure Rules**: Folder structure, file separation criteria
4. **Pattern Definition**: Frequently used code patterns
## Deliverables
```
Project Root/
├── CONVENTIONS.md # Full conventions
└── docs/01-plan/
├── naming.md # Naming rules
└── structure.md # Structure rules
```
## PDCA Application
- **Plan**: Identify necessary convention items
- **Design**: Design detailed rules
- **Do**: Write convention documents
- **Check**: Review consistency/practicality
- **Act**: Finalize and proceed to Phase 3
## Level-wise Application
| Level | Application Level |
|-------|------------------|
| Starter | Basic (essential rules only) |
| Dynamic | Extended (including API, state management) |
| Enterprise | Extended (per-service rules) |
## Core Convention Items
### Naming
- Components: PascalCase
- Functions: camelCase
- Constants: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE
- Files: kebab-case or PascalCase
### Folder Structure

## Environment Variable Convention
### Why Define at Design Stage?
```
❌ Organizing env vars just before deployment
→ Missing variables, naming inconsistency, deployment delays
✅ Establish convention at design stage
→ Consistent naming, clear categorization, fast deployment
```
### Environment Variable Naming Rules
| Prefix | Purpose | Exposure Scope | Example |
|--------|---------|----------------|---------|
| `NEXT_PUBLIC_` | Client-exposed | Browser | `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL` |
| `DB_` | Database | Server only | `DB_HOST`, `DB_PASSWORD` |
| `API_` | External API keys | Server only | `API_STRIPE_SECRET` |
| `AUTH_` | Authentication | Server only | `AUTH_SECRET`, `AUTH_GOOGLE_ID` |
| `SMTP_` | Email service | Server only | `SMTP_HOST`, `SMTP_PASSWORD` |
| `STORAGE_` | File storage | Server only | `STORAGE_S3_BUCKET` |
```
⚠️ Security Principles
- Never expose anything except NEXT_PUBLIC_* to client
- API keys and passwords must be server-only variables
- Never commit sensitive info in .env files
```
### .env File Structure
```
Project Root/
├── .env.example # Template (in Git, values empty)
├── .env.local # Local development (Git ignored)
├── .env.development # Development env defaults
├── .env.staging # Staging env defaults
├── .env.production # Production defaults (no sensitive info)
└── .env.test # Test environment
```
### .env.example Template
```bash
# .env.example - This file is included in Git
# Set actual values in .env.local
# ===== App Settings =====
NODE_ENV=development
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL=http://localhost:3000
# ===== Database =====
DB_HOST=
DB_PORT=5432
DB_NAME=
DB_USER=
DB_PASSWORD=
# ===== Authentication =====
AUTH_SECRET= # openssl rand -base64 32
AUTH_GOOGLE_ID=
AUTH_GOOGLE_SECRET=
# ===== External Services =====
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=
API_STRIPE_SECRET=
SMTP_HOST=
SMTP_USER=
SMTP_PASSWORD=
```
### Environment-wise Value Classification
| Variable Type | .env.example | .env.local | CI/CD Secrets |
|---------------|:------------:|:----------:|:-------------:|
| App URL | Template | Local value | Per-env value |
| API endpoints | Template | Local/dev | Per-env value |
| DB password | Empty | Local value | ✅ Secrets |
| API keys | Empty | Test key | ✅ Secrets |
| JWT Secret | Empty | Local value | ✅ Secrets |
### Environment Variable Validation
```typescript
// lib/env.ts - Validate env vars at app startup
import { z } from 'zod';
const envSchema = z.object({
// Required
DATABASE_URL: z.string().url(),
AUTH_SECRET: z.string().min(32),
// Optional (with defaults)
NODE_ENV: z.enum(['development', 'staging', 'production']).default('development'),
// Client-exposed
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL: z.string().url(),
});
// Validation and type inference
export const env = envSchema.parse(process.env);
// Type-safe usage
// env.DATABASE_URL ← autocomplete supported
```
### Environment Variable Checklist
- [ ] **Naming Consistency**
- [ ] Follow prefix rules (NEXT_PUBLIC_, DB_, API_, etc.)
- [ ] Use UPPER_SNAKE_CASE
- [ ] **File Structure**
- [ ] Create .env.example (template)
- [ ] Register .env.local in .gitignore
- [ ] Separate .env files per environment
- [ ] **Security**
- [ ] Classify sensitive info
- [ ] Verify client-exposed variables
- [ ] Organize Secrets list (for Phase 9 deployment)

## Clean Architecture Principles
### Why Define at Design Stage?
```
Clean Architecture = Code resilient to change
❌ Developing without architecture
→ Spaghetti code, multiple file changes for each modification
✅ Define layers at design stage
→ Separation of concerns, easy testing, easy maintenance
```
### 4-Layer Architecture (Recommended)
```
src/
├── presentation/ # or app/, pages/
│ ├── components/ # UI components
│ ├── hooks/ # State management hooks
│ └── pages/ # Page components
│
├── application/ # or services/, features/
│ ├── use-cases/ # Business use cases
│ └── services/ # API service wrappers
│
├── domain/ # or types/, entities/
│ ├── entities/ # Domain entities
│ ├── types/ # Type definitions
│ └── constants/ # Domain constants
│
└── infrastructure/ # or lib/, api/
├── api/ # API clients
├── db/ # Database connections
└── external/ # External services
```
### Layer Responsibilities and Rules
| Layer | Responsibility | Can Depend On | Cannot Depend On |
|-------|---------------|---------------|------------------|
| **Presentation** | UI rendering, user events | Application, Domain | Infrastructure directly |
| **Application** | Business logic orchestration | Domain, Infrastructure | Presentation |
| **Domain** | Core business rules, types | Nothing (independent) | All external layers |
| **Infrastructure** | External system connections | Domain | Application, Presentation |
### Dependency Rule
```typescript
// ❌ Bad: Presentation directly calls Infrastructure
// components/UserList.tsx
import { apiClient } from '@/lib/api/client'; // Direct import forbidden!
export function UserList() {
const users = apiClient.get('/users'); // ❌
}
// ✅ Good: Presentation → Application → Infrastructure
// hooks/useUsers.ts
import { userService } from '@/services/user.service';
export function useUsers() {
return useQuery({
queryKey: ['users'],
queryFn: userService.getList, // ✅ Call through Service
});
}
// components/UserList.tsx
import { useUsers } from '@/hooks/useUsers';
export function UserList() {
const { data: users } = useUsers(); // ✅ Call through Hook
}
```
### File Import Rules
```typescript
// ===== Allowed import directions =====
// In presentation/:
import { User } from '@/domain/types'; // ✅ Domain OK
import { useUsers } from '@/hooks/useUsers'; // ✅ Same layer OK
import { userService } from '@/services/user'; // ✅ Application OK
// In application/:
import { User } from '@/domain/types'; // ✅ Domain OK
import { apiClient } from '@/lib/api/client'; // ✅ Infrastructure OK
// In domain/:
// Minimize external imports (pure types/logic only)
// In infrastructure/:
import { User } from '@/domain/types'; // ✅ Domain OK
// ===== Forbidden imports =====
// In domain/:
import { apiClient } from '@/lib/api/client'; // ❌ Infrastructure forbidden
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button'; // ❌ Presentation forbidden
// In infrastructure/:
import { useUsers } from '@/hooks/useUsers'; // ❌ Presentation forbidden
```
### Level-wise Application
| Level | Architecture Application |
|-------|-------------------------|
| **Starter** | Simple structure (components, lib) |
| **Dynamic** | 3-4 layer separation (recommended structure) |
| **Enterprise** | Strict layer separation + DI container |
### Starter Level Folder Structure
```

├── components/ # UI components
├── lib/ # Utilities, API
└── types/ # Type definitions
```
### Dynamic Level Folder Structure

│ ├── auth/
│ └── product/

## 6. Reusability Principles
### 6.1 Function Design
#### Creating Generic Functions
```typescript
// ❌ Handles only specific case
function formatUserName(user: User) {
return `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`
}
// ✅ Generic
function formatFullName(firstName: string, lastName: string) {
return `${firstName} ${lastName}`
}
// Usage
formatFullName(user.firstName, user.lastName)
formatFullName(author.first, author.last)
```
#### Parameter Generalization
```typescript
// ❌ Tied to specific type
function calculateOrderTotal(order: Order) {
return order.items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0)
}
// ✅ Generalized with interface
interface HasPrice { price: number }
function calculateTotal<T extends HasPrice>(items: T[]) {
return items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0)
}
// Can be used in various places
calculateTotal(order.items)
calculateTotal(cart.products)
calculateTotal(invoice.lineItems)
```
### 6.2 Component Design
#### Composable Components
```tsx
// ❌ Hardcoded structure
function UserCard({ user }: { user: User }) {
return (
<div className="card">
<img src={user.avatar} />
<h3>{user.name}</h3>
<p>{user.email}</p>
</div>
)
}
// ✅ Composable
function Card({ children, className }: CardProps) {
return <div className={cn("card", className)}>{children}</div>
}
function Avatar({ src, alt }: AvatarProps) {
return <img src={src} alt={alt} className="avatar" />
}
// Use by combining
<Card>
<Avatar src={user.avatar} alt={user.name} />
<h3>{user.name}</h3>
<p>{user.email}</p>
</Card>
```
#### Props Extensibility
```tsx
// ❌ Limited props
interface ButtonProps {
label: string
onClick: () => void
}
// ✅ Extend HTML attributes
interface ButtonProps extends React.ButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement> {
variant?: 'default' | 'outline' | 'ghost'
size?: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg'
}
// All button attributes available
<Button type="submit" disabled={isLoading}>
Save
</Button>
```
### 6.3 Extraction Criteria
#### When to Extract as Function
```
1. Same logic used 2+ times
2. Logic is complex enough to need a name
3. Logic that needs testing
4. Can be used in other files
```
#### When to Extract as Component
```
1. Same UI pattern repeats
2. Has independent state
3. Is a reusable unit
4. JSX over 50 lines
```
---
## 7. Extensibility Principles
### 7.1 Configuration-Based Design
```typescript
// ❌ Listing conditionals
function getStatusColor(status: string) {
if (status === 'active') return 'green'
if (status === 'pending') return 'yellow'
if (status === 'error') return 'red'
return 'gray'
}
// ✅ Configuration object
const STATUS_CONFIG = {
active: { color: 'green', label: 'Active' },
pending: { color: 'yellow', label: 'Pending' },
error: { color: 'red', label: 'Error' },
} as const
function getStatusConfig(status: keyof typeof STATUS_CONFIG) {
return STATUS_CONFIG[status] ?? { color: 'gray', label: status }
}
// Adding new status = just add config
```
### 7.2 Strategy Pattern
```typescript
// ❌ Listing switch statements
function processPayment(method: string, amount: number) {
switch (method) {
case 'card':
// Card payment logic
break
case 'bank':
// Bank transfer logic
break
}
}
// ✅ Strategy pattern
interface PaymentStrategy {
process(amount: number): Promise<Result>
}
const paymentStrategies: Record<string, PaymentStrategy> = {
card: new CardPayment(),
bank: new BankTransfer(),
}
function processPayment(method: string, amount: number) {
const strategy = paymentStrategies[method]
if (!strategy) throw new Error(`Unknown method: ${method}`)
return strategy.process(amount)
}
// Adding new payment method = just add strategy
```
### 7.3 Plugin Structure
```typescript
// Extensible system
interface Plugin {
name: string
init(): void
execute(data: unknown): unknown
}
class PluginManager {
private plugins: Plugin[] = []
register(plugin: Plugin) {
this.plugins.push(plugin)
}
executeAll(data: unknown) {
return this.plugins.reduce(
(result, plugin) => plugin.execute(result),
data
)
}
}
// New feature = add plugin
```

## 8. Duplication Prevention Checklist
### Before Writing Code
- [ ] Is there a similar function in utils/?
- [ ] Is there a similar component in components/?
- [ ] Is there a similar hook in hooks/?
- [ ] Did you search the entire project?
### After Writing Code
- [ ] Is the same code in 2+ places? → Extract
- [ ] Can this code be used elsewhere? → Move
- [ ] Are there hardcoded values? → Make constants
- [ ] Is it tied to a specific type? → Generalize
This skill defines coding rules and conventions to keep JavaScript projects consistent and AI-friendly. It codifies naming, file structure, environment variables, architecture, and reusable patterns so collaborators and AI agents produce predictable, maintainable code. Use it proactively when starting a project or whenever a clear style guide is required.
The skill produces a CONVENTIONS.md and supporting docs that specify naming rules, code style (indentation, quotes, semicolons), folder structure, and common patterns. It also defines environment variable prefixes, .env file layout, validation examples, and clean-architecture dependency rules. Deliverables are written files and checklists that fit Starter, Dynamic, and Enterprise application levels.
Should I apply this to an existing project with established conventions?
No. This skill is meant to set conventions early. For existing projects, follow established rules instead to avoid conflicts.
How do environment variable prefixes work?
Use prefixes to indicate scope: NEXT_PUBLIC_ for client-exposed, DB_/API_/AUTH_/SMTP_/STORAGE_ for server-only variables; never commit secrets in .env files.
