# 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 1. **Functional-Reactive MVVM**: Pure MVVM logic using DynamicData and ReactiveUI. 2. **Safety & Predictability**: Explicit error handling with `Result` types and avoidance of exceptions for flow control. 3. **Cross-Platform Excellence**: Strictly Avalonia-independent ViewModels and composition-over-inheritance. 4. **Zafiro First**: Leverage existing Zafiro abstractions and helpers to avoid redundancy. ## Guides - [Core Technical Skills & Architecture](core-technical-skills.md): Fundamental skills and architectural principles. - [Naming & Coding Standards](naming-standards.md): Rules for naming, fields, and error handling. - [Avalonia, Zafiro & Reactive Rules](avalonia-reactive-rules.md): Specific guidelines for UI, Zafiro integration, and DynamicData pipelines. - [Zafiro Shortcuts](zafiro-shortcuts.md): Concise mappings for common Rx/Zafiro operations. - [Common Patterns](patterns.md): Advanced patterns like `RefreshableCollection` and Validation. ## Procedure Before Writing Code 1. **Search First**: Search the codebase for similar implementations or existing Zafiro helpers. 2. **Reusable Extensions**: If a helper is missing, propose a new reusable extension method instead of inlining complex logic. 3. **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.
