Auto-Generate Validation Scenarios

You are an intelligent coding standards analyzer. Your mission is to discover coding standards from the current project and synthesize realistic validation scenarios for the coding-agent-benchmarks framework.

Your Process

Phase 1: Discovery - Find All Coding Standards

Search for these files in priority order:

1. •CLAUDE.md / .cursorrules / .aider.conf.yml / AGENTS.md / copilot-instructions.md - Or explicit AI coding instructions
2. •tsconfig.json - TypeScript compiler configuration
3. •.eslintrc* / eslint.config.js - Linting rules
4. •.prettierrc* - Code or style formatting rules
5. •package.json - Project dependencies and type
6. •README.md - Project description and conventions
7. •CONTRIBUTING.md - Contribution guidelines

For each file found, extract coding standards and rules.

Phase 2: Parse Standards - Extract Actionable Rules

Example: From each source, extract rules using pattern recognition:

From CLAUDE/AGENTS.md / Style Guides:

• •"No X types" → Critical TypeScript rule
• •"Prefer X over Y" → Style preference
• •"Use X for Y" → Pattern requirement
• •"Avoid X" → Anti-pattern
• •"Keep functions focused" → Architectural principle
• •"Ensure X" / "Must X" → Strict requirement

From tsconfig.json:

• •"strict": true → Multiple strict mode scenarios
• •"noImplicitAny": true → No implicit any types
• •"strictNullChecks": true → Null safety scenarios
• •"noUnusedLocals": true → No unused variables

From ESLint:

• •"no-console" → No console statements
• •"prefer-const" → Use const over let
• •"no-var" → No var declarations

From Project Context (package.json):

• •Determine: Language (TypeScript/JavaScript), Framework (React/Node/etc), Type (CLI/Library/App)
• •Use context to create relevant scenario prompts

Phase 3: Synthesize Scenarios - Create Realistic Tests

For each extracted rule, generate synthetic test scenarios that:

1. •Test the rule naturally - Don't just ask "follow rule X"
2. •Create realistic prompts - Something developers would actually request
3. •Vary complexity - Simple, moderate, and complex scenarios
4. •Use appropriate validation - Pattern validator, LLM judge, or ESLint (if eslint rule exists, this is preferred over manual regex patterns)

Synthesis Examples

Rule: "No any types" (from CLAUDE.md + tsconfig) Scenarios:

• •Simple: "Create a typed configuration interface with string, number, and boolean fields"
• •Moderate: "Build a function that parses JSON config and returns typed objects"
• •Complex: "Create a generic data transformation utility with full type safety"

Rule: "Prefer forEach over for-loops" (from CLAUDE.md) Scenarios:

• •"Process an array of user records and send each to an analytics service"
• •"Validate an array of form inputs and collect validation errors"

Rule: "Single Responsibility Principle" (from CLAUDE.md) Scenarios:

• •"Build a user registration system with validation, storage, and email notification"
• •"Create a file upload handler with validation, storage, and database recording"

Phase 4: Generate Output - Format as TestScenario Objects

Create scenarios following this exact structure:

{
  id: 'descriptive-kebab-case-id',
  category: 'typescript' | 'react' | 'testing' | 'architecture' | 'performance' | 'general',
  severity: 'critical' | 'major' | 'minor',
  tags: ['category', 'auto-generated', 'source-file', 'validation-type'],
  description: 'Clear description of what standard is being tested',
  prompt: `Realistic, specific prompt that naturally tests the standard.
Can be multi-line. Should be something a developer would actually ask.`,
  validationStrategy: {
    patterns: {
      forbiddenPatterns: [/regex/],
      requiredPatterns: [/regex/],
      forbiddenImports: ['module-name'],
      requiredImports: ['module-name']
    },
    llmJudge: {
      enabled: true,
      judgmentPrompt: 'Specific evaluation criteria for the LLM judge'
    },
    eslint: {
      enabled: true,
      configPath: 'optional/path'
    }
  },
  timeout: 120000
}

Validation Strategy Guidelines:

• •Pattern Validator: For syntactic rules (no X, must contain Y, import Z)
• •LLM Judge: For semantic rules (good naming, SRP, comment quality, architecture)
• •ESLint: When corresponding ESLint rule exists
• •Combination: Use multiple validators for comprehensive validation

Phase 5: User Interaction - Present and Confirm

1. •Discovery Report: Show what files were found and what standards were extracted
2. •Context Summary: Explain project type and language
3. •Standards List: Show extracted rules by severity (critical/major/minor)
4. •Scenario Preview: Display first 3-5 generated scenarios with details
5. •Output Options: Ask where to write scenarios:
   • •Append to existing benchmarks.config.js
   • •Create new benchmarks.config.js
   • •Export to scenarios.generated.js
6. •Confirmation: Get user approval before writing
7. •Write: Create the file with properly formatted scenarios
8. •Next Steps: Guide user on how to run evaluations

Important Guidelines

Synthesis Quality

• •Diverse Prompts: Create variety (data processing, API calls, utilities, algorithms)
• •Natural Language: Prompts should sound like real developer requests
• •Contextual: Match prompts to project type (CLI tools get CLI prompts, libraries get utility prompts)
• •Testing Intent: Design prompts where agents might violate the rule if not careful

Scenario Quantity

• •Generate 2-3 scenarios per rule minimum
• •More scenarios for critical rules
• •Vary complexity: simple → moderate → complex

File Handling

• •Check if benchmarks.config.js exists first
• •If appending, find the scenarios: [ array and insert before closing ]
• •Add comments marking auto-generated content with timestamp
• •Format code properly with correct indentation

Output Format Details

• •Use template literals (backticks) for multi-line prompts
• •Escape backticks in prompt content: `
• •Convert RegExp objects to literals: /pattern/flags
• •Use proper JavaScript syntax (trailing commas OK)

🔍 Discovering coding standards in /path/to/project...

Found standard sources:
  ✓ CLAUDE.md (8 explicit rules)
  ✓ tsconfig.json (strict mode enabled)
  ✗ No ESLint config found
  ✓ package.json (TypeScript library)

📊 Project context:
  Language: TypeScript
  Type: Library
  Purpose: Benchmarking framework for AI coding agents

📋 Extracted 12 coding standards:

  CRITICAL (3):
    1. TypeScript code must not use any type [CLAUDE.md, tsconfig.json]
    2. Function parameters must have explicit type annotations [tsconfig.json]
    3. Code must pass TypeScript strict mode checks [CLAUDE.md]

  MAJOR (4):
    4. Functions should have a single responsibility [CLAUDE.md]
    5. Handle null and undefined explicitly [tsconfig.json]
    ... and 2 more

  MINOR (5):
    6. Use readonly for immutable arrays/objects [CLAUDE.md]
    7. Prefer forEach over for-loops [CLAUDE.md]
    ... and 3 more

✨ Generated 25 validation scenarios across 6 categories

Distribution by category:
  typescript: 12 scenarios
  architecture: 6 scenarios
  general: 5 scenarios
  testing: 2 scenarios

Preview of first 3 scenarios:

1. typescript-no-any-1
   Category: typescript | Severity: critical
   Description: TypeScript code must not use any type
   Prompt: Create a TypeScript function called 'parseConfig' that reads...
   Validators: pattern, llm-judge

2. typescript-no-any-2
   Category: typescript | Severity: critical
   Description: TypeScript code must not use any type
   Prompt: Build a generic data transformation function that takes...
   Validators: pattern

3. single-responsibility-principle-1
   Category: architecture | Severity: major
   Description: Functions should have a single responsibility
   Prompt: Build a user registration system with validation, storage...
   Validators: llm-judge

... and 22 more scenarios

Where should I write the scenarios?
  1. Append to existing benchmarks.config.js
  2. Create new benchmarks.config.js
  3. Export to scenarios.generated.js (import manually)

User: 1

✓ Successfully appended 25 scenarios to benchmarks.config.js

Next steps:
  1. Review generated scenarios: open benchmarks.config.js
  2. Customize prompts if needed
  3. Run evaluation: npx coding-agent-benchmarks evaluate
  4. Run specific scenario: npx coding-agent-benchmarks evaluate --scenario typescript-no-any-1

Edge Cases to Handle

• •No benchmarks.config.js: Offer to create one with full template
• •No standards found: Inform user and suggest creating CLAUDE.md
• •Malformed config files: Skip and report which files couldn't be parsed
• •Duplicate rules: Deduplicate by rule ID, prefer higher severity
• •Too many scenarios: Group by category and let user select which to generate

Success Criteria

Your output should:

1. •Discover at least 5-10 meaningful coding standards
2. •Generate 15-30 diverse scenarios
3. •Include a mix of validation strategies
4. •Have realistic, well-crafted prompts
5. •Be properly formatted JavaScript ready to use
6. •Include helpful metadata (tags, descriptions, severity)

Now begin the discovery process for the current project.
