Summary

Adds a new RepoGuard clean architecture rule for Cursor AI (rules/repoguard-clean-architecture.mdc) and lists it in the Build Tools and Development section of the README.

Contribution Type

  • New rules/*.mdc rule

Value To Cursor Users

Helps Cursor developers prevent AI-generated architectural rot by enforcing domain layer boundaries (blocking direct ORM/DB queries in React components and controllers), eliminating : any escapes, and preventing SSR hydration issues.

Added Or Changed Files

  • rules/repoguard-clean-architecture.mdc: New rule file enforcing clean architecture layering and strict types.
  • README.md: Added listing under Build Tools and Development pointing to the in-repo rule.

Quality Checklist

  • The contribution includes original rule content, or clearly credits the source.
  • New rule files use a descriptive kebab-case filename, such as react-typescript.mdc.
  • New rules/*.mdc files include frontmatter with a non-empty description, relevant globs, and alwaysApply: false unless the rule is universal.
  • README links use canonical GitHub URLs for repo files and point to the correct category.
  • The text is neutral and useful, not sales copy.
  • This is not a standalone external tool, product, directory, marketplace, or service listing.
  • No secrets, tokens, affiliate links, tracking links, or unrelated product claims are included.
  • I checked for duplicate or near-duplicate existing entries.

Notes For Maintainers

The rule file provides clean architecture standards and credits RepoGuard. Thank you!

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the development guidance to link to the repository’s architecture rules instead of the external architecture-auditor tool.
    • Added guidance on keeping database access out of UI and API layers, maintaining type safety, avoiding production console logging, protecting sensitive environment variables, and safely accessing browser APIs during server-side rendering.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a RepoGuard rule with architecture and code-quality guardrails. The README entry now links to the in-repository rule.

Changes

RepoGuard integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add and link the RepoGuard rule
rules/repoguard-clean-architecture.mdc, README.md
The rule defines database-layer boundaries, type-safety requirements, and restrictions for logging, client-side environment variables, and browser globals in SSR. The README entry links to the rule instead of the external RepoGuard CLI description.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fb90a

This PR adds a guidance rule and a README link and does not change application code. Quote the globs value so the rule loads reliably. Also update the SSR advice so it does not recommend a pattern known to cause hydration errors. Both fixes are small and can be made before or shortly after merge.

Architecture Summary

Architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to fb90a

The change affects 2 systems.

  • observed — README.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
  • observed — rules (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in README.md: The RepoGuard list entry now points to the in-repo repoguard-clean-architecture.mdc rule (enforces clean layering, blocks ORM calls in UI, maintains strict architectural discipline), replacing the prior link to the external RepoGuard CLI repo with the eight-rule architecture health audit description.
  • observed — Modified behavior in rules/repoguard-clean-architecture.mdc: Adds the repoguard-clean-architecture rule configuration and its file globs, with alwaysApply set to false, plus guardrails for database layering, type safety, logging, client-side environment variables, and SSR browser-global access.

Quote the globs value so the frontmatter parses.

The value starts with **, which YAML treats as an alias indicator. This is not a valid plain scalar. Cursor supports a quoted string or an array for globs; invalid frontmatter can prevent the rule from loading. (yaml.org)

Suggested fix
-globs: **/*.ts, **/*.tsx, **/*.js, **/*.jsx, **/*.py, **/*.go
+globs: "**/*.ts, **/*.tsx, **/*.js, **/*.jsx, **/*.py, **/*.go"

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

## 3. Production Hygiene
- Remove all `console.log` statements before commit; use a structured logger.
- Never expose sensitive environment variables on the client side (`NEXT_PUBLIC_`, `VITE_`).
- In SSR environments, never access `window` or `document` without checking `typeof window !== 'undefined'`.

Do not use typeof window as the only SSR guard.

A component can satisfy this rule and still render different markup on the server and the client:

return typeof window !== "undefined" ? <ClientOnly /> : null;

This can cause a hydration mismatch. Require identical initial markup and move browser-only reads or client-only rendering into useEffect or a client-only boundary. React documents typeof window !== 'undefined' in render logic as a common hydration-error cause. (react.dev)
