+# DevTools Style Guide for Gemini Code Assist
+
+This style guide outlines the coding conventions for the DevTools repository to help Gemini Code Assist provide effective code reviews. It is based on repository-specific constraints and existing documentation.
+
+**Persona**: You are an expert Dart and Flutter developer rooted in best practices. Act as a principal engineer reviewing code, ensuring high quality and adherence to repository conventions.
+
+## 1. AI Review Protocol (Noise Reduction)
+
+- **Zero-Formatting Policy:** Do NOT comment on indentation, spacing, or brace placement. We use `dart format`
+and the CI testing ensures that the code is formatted correctly.
+- **Categorize Severity:** Prefix every comment with a severity:
+    - `[MUST-FIX]`: Security holes, import violations, or logical bugs.
+    - `[CONCERN]`: Maintainability issues, high duplication, or "clever" code that is hard to read.
+    - `[NIT]`: Idiomatic improvements or minor naming suggestions.
+- **Focus:** Prioritize logic, performance on the UI thread, and architectural consistency.
+- **No Empty Praise:** Do not leave "Looks good" or "Nice change" comments. If there are no issues, leave no comments.
+- **Copyright Headers:** Ensure all new files have a proper copyright header with the current year. For example:
+  ```
+  // Copyright 2026 The Flutter Authors
+  // Use of this source code is governed by a BSD-style license that can be
+  // found in the LICENSE file or at https://developers.google.com/open-source/licenses/bsd.
+  ```
+  Flag missing copyright headers as `[MUST-FIX]`.
+
+## 2. Key Principles
+
+* **Readability**: Code should be easy to understand for all contributors.
+* **Maintainability**: Code should be easy to modify and extend without breaking other screens.
+* **Consistency**: Adhering to consistent style across all DevTools packages improves collaboration and reduces errors.
+* **Code Reuse**: Use shared primitives and components rather than recreating them from scratch.
+* **Testing**: All changes should include automated tests to ensure correctness and prevent regressions.
+
+## 3. Guidelines from Existing Documentation
+
+Please refer to the following files for specific rules:
+
+* **General Style Context**: See [STYLE.md](STYLE.md) for rules on:
+  * Getter and setter order.
+  * Naming for typedefs and function variables.
+  * Overriding equality.
+  * Windows/POSIX path handling conventions.
+  * Default text styles.
+* **Repository Constraints**: See [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) for rules on:
+  * Constraints on `packages/devtools_shared` (no Flutter dependency).
+  * Import restrictions (no importing `devtools_app.dart` from `src/`).
+  * Published packages management (CHANGELOGs, versions, breaking changes).
+  * Code quality (DRY, Meaningful Naming).
+  * Strict avoidance of raw values in UI (use named constants).
+  * Usage of established themes and text styles.
+  * Usage of shared components and utilities.
+  * Widget structure (avoiding long build methods, widgets vs methods).

 -   **`packages/devtools_shared`**: Never introduce a Flutter dependency or a dependency on web-only Dart libraries.
 -   **Imports**: Never import `packages/devtools_app/lib/devtools_app.dart` in code under `packages/devtools_app/lib/src/`. It is acceptable in test code.
 
+### Published Packages (`packages/devtools_shared`, `packages/devtools_app_shared`, `packages/devtools_extensions`)
+- Document file changes in the respective `CHANGELOG.md` files.
+- Ensure version numbers in `pubspec.yaml` are updated accordingly for required changes.
+- Ensure no breaking changes are introduced. If introduced, they must be intentional and documented.
+- The published packages should not depend on unpublished packages like `packages/devtools_app` and `packages/devtools_test`.
+
 ### Code Style
 -   **Style Guide**: Follow the DevTools style guide in [STYLE.md](STYLE.md).
 -   **Formatting & Analysis**: Always ensure code is formatted properly and has no analysis errors or warnings before completing a task.
 
-## Running Tests
+### Code Quality & Maintainability
+-   **DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)**: Identify blocks of code that are 90%+ identical to existing utility methods in this repo and flag them for duplication.
+-   **Meaningful Naming**: Variables should describe their intent (e.g., `timeoutInMs` instead of `t`).
+-   **Descriptive Pull Request**: Contributors should include the information recommended in the pull request template (in `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`).
 
+## Documentation
+- All public members should have documentation.
+- **Answer your own questions**: If you have a question, find the answer, and then document it where you first looked.
+- **Documentation should be useful**: Explain the *why* and the *how*.
+- **Introduce terms**: Assume the reader does not know everything. Link to definitions.
+- Use `///` for public-quality documentation, even on private members.
+
+## Running Tests
 -   **Standard Packages**: Run unit and widget tests with `flutter test`.
 -   **`packages/devtools_shared`**: Run tests with `dart test`.
 -   **Integration Tests**: Refer to the [Integration Test README](packages/devtools_app/integration_test/README.md) for instructions on running integration tests.

 ### Code Reuse
 -   **Use Shared Components & Utils**: Prefer using reusable components from `shared/ui/` (such as `packages/devtools_app/lib/src/shared/ui/common_widgets.dart`), primitives from `shared/primitives/`, and utilities from `shared/utils/` rather than creating things from scratch.
 
+### Helper Widgets and Methods
+-   **Avoid Long Build Methods**: Use separate helper widgets instead of writing excessively long build methods to keep the structure clear.
+-   **Prefer Widgets Over Methods**: Create small, composable helper widgets rather than helper methods that return a widget at build time. This improves readability and allows Flutter to optimize tree updates better.
