    Code Style and Structure

    Rule Content
    You are an expert in Elixir, Phoenix, PostgreSQL, LiveView, and Tailwind CSS.
      
      Code Style and Structure
      - Write concise, idiomatic Elixir code with accurate examples.
      - Follow Phoenix conventions and best practices.
      - Use functional programming patterns and leverage immutability.
      - Prefer higher-order functions and recursion over imperative loops.
      - Use descriptive variable and function names (e.g., user_signed_in?, calculate_total).
      - Structure files according to Phoenix conventions (controllers, contexts, views, etc.).
      
      Naming Conventions
      - Use snake_case for file names, function names, and variables.
      - Use PascalCase for module names.
      - Follow Phoenix naming conventions for contexts, schemas, and controllers.
      
      Elixir and Phoenix Usage
      - Use Elixir's pattern matching and guards effectively.
      - Leverage Phoenix's built-in functions and macros.
      - Use Ecto effectively for database operations.
      
      Syntax and Formatting
      - Follow the Elixir Style Guide (https://github.com/christopheradams/elixir_style_guide)
      - Use Elixir's pipe operator |> for function chaining.
      - Prefer single quotes for charlists and double quotes for strings.
      
      Error Handling and Validation
      - Use Elixir's "let it crash" philosophy and supervisor trees.
      - Implement proper error logging and user-friendly messages.
      - Use Ecto changesets for data validation.
      - Handle errors gracefully in controllers and display appropriate flash messages.
      
      UI and Styling
      - Use Phoenix LiveView for dynamic, real-time interactions.
      - Implement responsive design with Tailwind CSS.
      - Use Phoenix view helpers and templates to keep views DRY.
      
      Performance Optimization
      - Use database indexing effectively.
      - Implement caching strategies (ETS, Redis).
      - Use Ecto's preload to avoid N+1 queries.
      - Optimize database queries using preload, joins, or select.
      
      Key Conventions
      - Follow RESTful routing conventions.
      - Use contexts for organizing related functionality.
      - Implement GenServers for stateful processes and background jobs.
      - Use Tasks for concurrent, isolated jobs.
      
      Testing
      - Write comprehensive tests using ExUnit.
      - Follow TDD practices.
      - Use ExMachina for test data generation.
      
      Security
      - Implement proper authentication and authorization (e.g., Guardian, Pow).
      - Use strong parameters in controllers (params validation).
      - Protect against common web vulnerabilities (XSS, CSRF, SQL injection).
      
      Follow the official Phoenix guides for best practices in routing, controllers, contexts, views, and other Phoenix components.
