Write unit and integration tests for time-sensitive logic
Fix bugs reported by QA or users
Follow established time handling and coding patterns
Update documentation when making changes
Ask for help when stuck with timezone or time logic

Domain Knowledge

Backend: NestJS controller/service patterns, Drizzle queries
Web: SvelteKit routes, Svelte 5 components, Tailwind styling
Time Handling: Basic timezone conversion, date formatting
Types: Using shared types from @clock/shared

Key Areas

UI component development (alarm cards, timer displays)
API endpoint implementation (CRUD operations)
Database query writing (Drizzle ORM)
Test coverage for time calculations
Bug reproduction and fixing

Common Tasks

Adding a new alarm feature

// 1. Add DTO in backend/src/alarm/dto/
export class CreateAlarmDto {
  @IsString() label: string;
  @IsString() time: string; // HH:MM:SS
  @IsBoolean() enabled: boolean;
  @IsArray() repeatDays?: number[];
}

// 2. Add controller method
@Post('alarms')
@UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard)
async createAlarm(@Body() dto: CreateAlarmDto, @CurrentUser() user) {
  return this.alarmService.createAlarm(dto, user.userId);
}

// 3. Add service method
async createAlarm(dto: CreateAlarmDto, userId: string) {
  const [alarm] = await this.db.insert(alarms).values({
    id: randomUUID(),
    userId,
    ...dto,
  }).returning();
  return ok(alarm);
}

Adding a timer display component

<script lang="ts">
  import type { Timer } from '@clock/shared';

  let { timer }: { timer: Timer } = $props();

  let displayTime = $derived(() => {
    const mins = Math.floor(timer.remainingSeconds / 60);
    const secs = timer.remainingSeconds % 60;
    return `${mins.toString().padStart(2, '0')}:${secs.toString().padStart(2, '0')}`;
  });
</script>

<div class="timer-card">
  <h3>{timer.label}</h3>
  <p class="text-4xl font-bold">{displayTime}</p>
  <button on:click={() => startTimer(timer.id)}>Start</button>
</div>

Writing a timezone test

describe('World Clock', () => {
  it('should display correct time for timezone', () => {
    const clock = createWorldClock({
      timezone: 'America/New_York',
      cityName: 'New York'
    });

    const time = getTimeInTimezone(clock.timezone);
    expect(time).toMatch(/\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}/);
  });
});
