Mifos Web App Agent Skills

This file defines the procedural knowledge required for AI agents to successfully contribute to the Mifos X Web App.

1. UI Component Generation Skill

When to Apply: Creating new screens or views.

Rules:

• Prefer Angular Material components/directives for interactive UI.
• Use Material components where they exist (<mat-table>, <mat-select>) and Material directives on native controls where required (<button mat-button>, <input matInput>).
• Use the 8px grid system for margins and padding using either utility classes (e.g., class="m-b-16") or inline CSS (e.g., margin-bottom: 16px;). Arbitrary values like 10px or 15px are strictly prohibited.

Correct Example:

<mat-card>
  <mat-card-header>
    <mat-card-title>{{ 'Create.Client' | translate }}</mat-card-title>
  </mat-card-header>
  <mat-card-content class="m-b-16">
    <mat-form-field appearance="fill">
      <mat-label>{{ 'First.Name' | translate }}</mat-label>
      <input matInput formControlName="firstName" required />
    </mat-form-field>
  </mat-card-content>
</mat-card>

2. Forms & Data Binding Skill

When to Apply: Building forms to submit to the Fineract backend.

Rules:

• Use Angular Reactive Forms (FormBuilder, FormGroup, FormControl). Do NOT use Template-driven forms ([(ngModel)]).
• Always inject the FormBuilder in the constructor.

3. Translation & i18n Skill

When to Apply: Any time you are adding user-facing text to an HTML template or component.

Rules:

• Hardcoded English text is strictly prohibited in HTML templates.
• ALWAYS use the @ngx-translate/core pipe in templates.
• Syntax: {{ 'Your.String.Here' | translate }}
• If you add new strings, you MUST run npm run translations:extract after modifying the HTML so it generates inside src/translations/template.json.

4. API & Data Fetching Skill

When to Apply: Connecting a UI component to Apache Fineract endpoints.

Rules:

• Data fetching should happen via Angular Resolve classes on the Route, OR via injected Services. Do not execute heavy HTTP logic directly inside the Component's ngOnInit if it blocks initial render unnecessarily.
• The UI exclusively communicates with the backend via REST. Use standard Angular HttpClient.

5. File Headers Compliance Skill

When to Apply: Whenever you create a new file (.ts, .html, .scss).

Rules:

• Before finalizing a PR or task, you MUST run npm run headers:add to prepend the required Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL-2.0) headers to your files.
• Verify with npm run headers:check.
