# Medication Companion — Cursor Rules

This file is the primary specification for all code generated in this project.
It was written BEFORE any code — every agent, tool, and API was generated with these rules active.
Do not override these rules with prompts. If a prompt conflicts with a rule here, the rule wins.

---

## 1. What this project is (and is not)

A multi-agent pipeline that helps patients in India understand prescriptions and stay safe across visits.
It is NOT a medical device, NOT a diagnostic tool, NOT a prescription system.
Every patient-facing output must direct the patient back to their doctor or pharmacist.

---

## 2. Safety language — enforced in all agent outputs

- NEVER use diagnostic language: "you have", "this indicates", "this means you have", "this suggests you have"
- NEVER recommend dosage changes, dose timing, or stopping a medication
- Every patient-facing string MUST end with a consult-your-doctor redirect
- Severity values are EXACTLY: `HIGH`, `MODERATE`, `LOW`, `INFO`, `NONE` — no others, no variants
- `HIGH` means "worth discussing urgently with your doctor" — NOT "dangerous" or "life-threatening"
- `LOW` and `INFO` must still include the consult redirect — never omit it
- The redirect phrase is always: "Please discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist before making any changes."

---

## 3. Interaction checking scope

- Check interactions ONLY for drugs confirmed in the resolved drug list (from Agent 2)
- Do NOT speculate about interactions with drugs not in the list
- If interaction data is unavailable for a pair: output `INFO` + "Insufficient data to assess interaction between {drug_a} and {drug_b}."
- NEVER invent drug names in explanations — output must only reference `resolved_drugs`
- Do not infer or guess at drug names from OCR ambiguity — if confidence < 0.75, trigger Gate1Reject

---

## 4. Agent boundaries — no agent may cross these

Each agent has a single responsibility. Violations are bugs, not shortcuts.

| Agent | Responsibility | Forbidden |
|-------|---------------|-----------|
| Agent 1 (Reader) | Image extraction only | No resolution, no safety checking |
| Agent 2 (Resolver) | Resolution and EXISTING/NEW tagging only | No safety checking |
| Agent 3 (Safety) | Safety checking only | No explanation generation |
| Agent 4 (Education) | Explanation generation only | No new safety checking, no drug resolution |
| Agent 5 (Localisation) | Localisation and audio only | No content changes to explanation text |
| Guardrails | Run as callbacks | Never inside agent logic |

---

## 5. Memory rules

- `patient_id` is ALWAYS the Firebase UID extracted from the verified ID token — never trust client-provided IDs
- Memory writes occur ONLY after Agent 4 completes successfully (`after_agent_callback`)
- Memory stores ONLY: resolved generic drug names, visit timestamp, severity summary
- Memory NEVER stores: image data, clinical notes, diagnosis text, raw LLM output, PII beyond the patient_id

---

## 6. Code rules — Python backend

```python
# All agents: google.adk LlmAgent — never use raw Gemini API calls directly
# All tools: google.adk FunctionTool with complete type hints and docstrings
# All inter-agent data: Pydantic BaseModel — never plain dicts across boundaries
# Async throughout: async def, await — no blocking calls in agent handlers
# Structured logging: google.cloud.logging — never print() in production code paths
# MEMORY_BACKEND env var controls backend: "local" (dev/tests) or "vertex" (production)
# Error handling: every tool call wrapped in try/except with structured error return
# Never hardcode: project IDs, bucket names, API keys, model names — always from env vars
```

---

## 7. Code rules — Dart/Flutter frontend

```dart
// Firebase Auth JWT attached to every API request via interceptor — never skip this
// Never store prescription images in local storage — always stream directly to API
// Network timeout: 60 seconds (pipeline can take 15-20s under load)
// 422 response → retake prescription photo flow
// 401 response → re-authentication flow
// Never use HTML <form> elements — use Flutter form widgets
// No patient data in URL parameters
```

---

## 8. Security rules

- Input guardrail runs BEFORE Agent 1 on every request — never skip
- Output guardrail runs AFTER Agent 4 before returning to client — never skip
- Prompt injection patterns in input → reject with HTTP 400, do not process
- Diagnostic questions in input ("do I have", "am I sick") → reject with HTTP 400 + "consult your doctor" message
- Images that contain no detectable drug names → reject with HTTP 422 + retake instruction
- All Cloud Run services deployed with `--no-allow-unauthenticated`

---

## 9. Test rules

- Every FunctionTool must have a unit test with a mock external call
- Agent boundary tests: Agent N must not call Agent N±1's tools
- Guardrail tests: at least 3 injection attempts, 3 diagnostic question attempts
- Memory tests: verify patient_id isolation between patients
- All tests use `InMemorySessionService` — no GCP credentials in tests

---

## 10. Deployment rules

- Never deploy `:latest` tag — always use git-sha + timestamp tag
- Both Cloud Run services use the same service account with least-privilege roles
- Environment variables via Cloud Run `--set-env-vars` — never bake secrets into images
- Health endpoint `GET /health` on both services — required for Cloud Run health checks
- `ENVIRONMENT=production` disables Swagger UI

---

## 11. Indian drug name handling

Indian brand names are poorly covered by RxNav. Always:
1. Try RxNav API first
2. Fall back to `data/india_brands.csv` 
3. If still unresolved, tag as `UNRESOLVED` — never guess

Fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) are common in India and MUST be split before interaction checking.
Always call `combo_splitter` tool after `drug_lookup` for any resolved drug.
