AI Agent Guidelines for ownCloud Dropbox External Storage

This file provides context for AI coding agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) working in this repository.

Repository Overview

  • Product family: Classic (OC10)
  • Primary language(s): Starlark
  • Build system: Make + Composer
  • Test framework: PHPUnit
  • CI system: GitHub Actions

Architecture & Key Paths

  • appinfo/ -- App metadata and registration
  • lib/ -- PHP Flysystem Dropbox adapter and storage backend
  • js/ -- Frontend JavaScript
  • l10n/ -- Translations
  • tests/ -- PHPUnit tests
  • Makefile -- Build and test targets

Development Conventions

  • Branching: master
  • Commit messages: DCO sign-off required (git commit -s)
  • Code style: PHP-CS-Fixer (ownCloud codestyle via vendor-bin/owncloud-codestyle)
  • PR process: Open a PR against master. All CI checks must pass.

Build & Test Commands

# Build
make dist

# Test
make test-php-unit

# Lint
make test-php-style

Important Constraints

  • All code contributions must be compatible with the GPL-2.0 license
  • Do not introduce new copyleft-licensed dependencies (GPL, AGPL, LGPL, MPL) without explicit discussion in an issue first. This is especially important for repos migrating to Apache 2.0.
  • Do not introduce new dependencies without discussion in an issue first

OSPO Policy Constraints

GitHub Actions

  • Only use actions owned by owncloud, created by GitHub (actions/*), verified on the GitHub Marketplace, or verified by the ownCloud Maintainers.
  • Pin all actions to their full commit SHA (not tags): uses: actions/checkout@<SHA> # vX.Y.Z
  • Never introduce actions from unverified third parties.

Dependency Management

  • Dependabot is configured for automated dependency updates.
  • Review and merge Dependabot PRs as part of regular maintenance.
  • Do not introduce new dependencies without discussion in an issue first.

Git Workflow

  • Rebase policy: Always rebase; never create merge commits. Use git pull --rebase and git rebase before pushing.
  • Signed commits: All commits must be PGP/GPG signed (git commit -S -s).
  • DCO sign-off: Every commit needs a Signed-off-by line (git commit -s).
  • Conventional Commits & Squash Merge: Use the Conventional Commits format where the repository enforces it. Many repos use squash merge, where the PR title becomes the commit message on the default branch — apply Conventional Commits format to PR titles as well. A reusable GitHub Actions workflow enforces this.

Context for AI Agents

  • Match existing code style
  • Do not refactor unrelated code in the same PR
  • Write tests for new functionality
  • Keep PRs focused and atomic
