## What it does

This rule sets instructions for working on the `srt-model-quantizing` project by SolidRusT Networks. The codebase downloads models from Hugging Face, quantizes them, and uploads the results back to a Hugging Face-compatible repository using Python or Bash.

The prompt instructs the assistant to handle failures gracefully, such as incompatible model structures, and suggest explicit fixes. It also requires keeping dead code out of the repository, maintaining updated instructions in `README.md`, and tracking task status in a dedicated markdown alignment file.

The project targets Linux servers exclusively. Hardware setups need either Nvidia CUDA or AMD ROCm GPUs to run the quantization scripts.

## Install

### Cursor (native platform)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/rules/linux-nvidia-cuda-python-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc` — Frontmatter: description, globs, alwaysApply

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/rules/linux-nvidia-cuda-python-cursorrules-prompt-file.md` — The paths frontmatter field limits the files: move globs from the source into paths

### Codex

**AGENTS.md**
- Codex reads AGENTS.md: paste the rule text there

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/instructions/linux-nvidia-cuda-python-cursorrules-prompt-file.instructions.md` — The applyTo field sets which files it applies to: move globs from the source into applyTo

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/rules/linux-nvidia-cuda-python-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

### Cline

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.clinerules/linux-nvidia-cuda-python-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

## When to use it
- Build a model quantization pipeline for Hugging Face
- Handle hardware and quantization failures with clear error outputs
- Clean dead or duplicated code from the codebase
- Keep README.md and project alignment markdown files in sync

## Example prompts
- Implement a model download and quantization script for Nvidia CUDA
- Add error handling for unsupported Hugging Face model architectures
- Update the development alignment markdown file with recent bug fixes

1. **Project Overview**:

  - **App Name**: 'srt-model-quantizing'  
  - **Developer**: SolidRusT Networks  
  - **Functionality**: A pipeline for downloading models from Hugging Face, quantizing them, and uploading them to a Hugging Face-compatible repository.  
  - **Design Philosophy**: Focused on simplicity—users should be able to clone the repository, install dependencies, and run the app using Python or Bash with minimal effort.  
  - **Hardware Compatibility**: Supports both Nvidia CUDA and AMD ROCm GPUs, with potential adjustments needed based on specific hardware and drivers.  
  - **Platform**: Intended to run on Linux servers only.

2. **Development Principles**:

  - **Efficiency**: Ensure the quantization process is streamlined, efficient, and free of errors.  
  - **Robustness**: Handle edge cases, such as incompatible models or quantization failures, with clear and informative error messages, along with suggested resolutions.  
  - **Documentation**: Keep all documentation up to date, including the README.md and any necessary instructions or examples.

3. **AI Agent Alignment**:

  - **Simplicity and Usability**: All development and enhancements should prioritize maintaining the app's simplicity and ease of use.  
  - **Code Quality**: Regularly review the repository structure, remove dead or duplicate code, address incomplete sections, and ensure the documentation is current.  
  - **Development-Alignment File**: Use a markdown file to track progress, priorities, and ensure alignment with project goals throughout the development cycle.

4. **Continuous Improvement**:

  - **Feedback**: Actively seek feedback on the app's functionality and user experience.  
  - **Enhancements**: Suggest improvements that could make the app more efficient or user-friendly, ensuring any changes maintain the app's core principles.  
  - **Documentation of Changes**: Clearly document any enhancements, bug fixes, or changes made during development to ensure transparency and maintainability.
