Avalonia Zafiro Development
This skill defines the mandatory conventions and behavioral rules for developing cross-platform applications with Avalonia UI and the Zafiro toolkit. These rules prioritize maintainability, correctness, and a functional-reactive approach.
Core Pillars
- Functional-Reactive MVVM: Pure MVVM logic using DynamicData and ReactiveUI.
- Safety & Predictability: Explicit error handling with
Resulttypes and avoidance of exceptions for flow control. - Cross-Platform Excellence: Strictly Avalonia-independent ViewModels and composition-over-inheritance.
- Zafiro First: Leverage existing Zafiro abstractions and helpers to avoid redundancy.
Guides
- Core Technical Skills & Architecture: Fundamental skills and architectural principles.
- Naming & Coding Standards: Rules for naming, fields, and error handling.
- Avalonia, Zafiro & Reactive Rules: Specific guidelines for UI, Zafiro integration, and DynamicData pipelines.
- Zafiro Shortcuts: Concise mappings for common Rx/Zafiro operations.
- Common Patterns: Advanced patterns like
RefreshableCollectionand Validation.
Compatibility and validation
These are project/toolkit conventions, not universal .NET rules; follow the actual repository’s requirements and pinned Zafiro/ReactiveUI/DynamicData APIs. Verify shortcut semantics (especially null/empty/whitespace distinctions) instead of assuming table equivalence. Validate the collection’s intended empty/all-valid behavior: filtering valid items then testing non-empty does not prove every item is valid. Preserve cancellation, UI-thread scheduling and disposal ownership when adapting reactive examples.
Procedure Before Writing Code
- Search First: Search the codebase for similar implementations or existing Zafiro helpers.
- Reusable Extensions: If a helper is missing, propose a new reusable extension method instead of inlining complex logic.
- Reactive Pipelines: Ensure DynamicData operators are used instead of plain Rx where applicable.
When to Use
This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
