- Create focused integration testing rule (256 lines, under 500-line limit) - Establish core principle: interface compatibility over functionality re-testing - Define 4 integration test categories: Foundation, Architecture, Training, Inference - Provide clear DO/DON'T examples with code snippets - Document testing anti-patterns to avoid - Include educational testing principles and workflow guidelines - Reference 17 existing integration test files in tests/ directory - Update rules README to include new integration-testing.md rule

TinyTorch Rules Overview
This directory contains focused, actionable rules for TinyTorch development. Each rule is scoped to specific concerns and kept under 500 lines for clarity.
Rule Organization
Core Context & Structure
- ml-systems-course-context.mdc (64 lines) - Course philosophy and learning objectives
- tinytorch-project-structure.mdc (62 lines) - Dual-structure architecture guide
- user-preferences.mdc (47 lines) - User preferences and conventions
Development Workflow
- development-workflow.mdc (93 lines) - Complete tito CLI workflow
- git-workflow.mdc (157 lines) - Git workflow for incremental commits
- cli-patterns.mdc (174 lines) - CLI development patterns
Module Development
- module-development-best-practices.mdc (158 lines) - Core module development principles
- nbdev-educational-pattern.mdc (187 lines) - NBDev patterns and directives
- real-data-principles.mdc (112 lines) - "Real Data, Real Systems" requirements
Testing
- testing-patterns.mdc (115 lines) - Testing standards with pytest and real data
- integration-testing.md (238 lines) - Cross-module interface compatibility testing
Key Design Principles
1. Focused Scope
Each rule addresses a specific concern:
- Context: Course philosophy and project structure
- Workflow: Development and Git processes
- Implementation: Module development and NBDev patterns
- Quality: Testing and real data requirements
2. No Redundancy
- Testing content consolidated in
testing-patterns.mdc - Real data principles extracted to
real-data-principles.mdc - NBDev patterns focused on directives and structure
- Module development focused on core principles
3. Actionable Guidance
- Concrete examples with code snippets
- Clear DO/DON'T patterns
- Specific file references and commands
- Checklists for quality standards
4. Composable Rules
Rules reference each other without duplication:
development-workflow.mdcreferencesgit-workflow.mdcmodule-development-best-practices.mdcreferencesreal-data-principles.mdctesting-patterns.mdcstands alone with focused testing guidance
Rule Usage
Each rule is designed to be:
- Self-contained: Can be read independently
- Actionable: Provides specific guidance and examples
- Focused: Addresses one main concern
- Concise: Under 500 lines for easy consumption
- Referenced: Can be cited in development discussions
Quality Standards Met
✅ Focused: Each rule has a single, clear purpose ✅ Actionable: Concrete examples and guidance ✅ Scoped: No rule exceeds 500 lines ✅ Non-redundant: No duplicate content across files ✅ Composable: Rules reference each other cleanly ✅ Maintainable: Easy to update individual concerns
