+# Agent Guidelines for gmail_search_syntax
+
+This document outlines the coding standards and workflow requirements for AI agents working on the gmail_search_syntax project.
+
+## Ruby File Standards
+
+### Frozen String Literal
+**ALWAYS** include `# frozen_string_literal: true` at the top of every Ruby file:
+
+```ruby
+# frozen_string_literal: true
+
+class MyClass
+  # ... implementation
+end
+```
+
+This directive should be the very first line of every `.rb` file to ensure string immutability and improve performance.
+
+## Documentation Standards
+
+### Markdown Files Location
+When writing step-by-step instructions, documentation, or process descriptions in Markdown format, place them in the `slop/` directory:
+
+```
+slop/
+├── ARCHITECTURE.md
+├── GMAIL_BEHAVIOR_COMPARISON.md
+├── GMAIL_COMPATIBILITY_COMPLETE.md
+└── IMPLEMENTATION_NOTES.md
+```
+
+This keeps the main project directory clean while preserving detailed documentation and implementation notes.
+
+## Code Formatting
+
+### StandardRB Integration
+After creating or modifying any Ruby file, **ALWAYS** run StandardRB to maintain consistent formatting:
+
+```bash
+standardrb --fix /path/to/file.rb
+```
+
+This ensures:
+- Consistent code style across the project
+- Automatic fixing of common formatting issues
+- Compliance with the project's Ruby style guide
+- Uniform indentation, spacing, and syntax
+
+### Workflow
+1. Create or modify a Ruby file
+2. Immediately run `standardrb --fix` on the file
+3. Verify the changes are acceptable
+4. Continue with development
+
+## Project Context
+
+This is a Ruby gem that parses Gmail's search syntax and converts it into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). The project includes:
+
+- **Core parsing**: Tokenizer, parser, and AST nodes
+- **SQL conversion**: SQLite and Postgres visitors for database queries
+- **Comprehensive testing**: Unit and integration tests
+- **Documentation**: Schema documentation and operator reference
+
+## Key Files
+
+- `lib/gmail_search_syntax.rb` - Main entry point
+- `lib/gmail_search_syntax/parser.rb` - Core parsing logic
+- `lib/gmail_search_syntax/sql_visitor.rb` - SQL generation
+- `test/` - Test suite
+- `SCHEMA.md` - Database schema documentation
+- `slop/` - Detailed implementation documentation
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Test Coverage**: Ensure all new functionality has corresponding tests
+2. **Documentation**: Update relevant documentation when adding features
+3. **Backward Compatibility**: Maintain API compatibility when possible
+4. **Performance**: Consider performance implications of parsing changes
+5. **Gmail Compatibility**: Verify changes against Gmail's actual search behavior
+
+## Example Workflow
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create a new Ruby file
+echo '# frozen_string_literal: true' > lib/gmail_search_syntax/new_feature.rb
+
+# 2. Add implementation
+# ... write code ...
+
+# 3. Format with StandardRB
+standardrb --fix lib/gmail_search_syntax/new_feature.rb
+
+# 4. Create documentation if needed
+echo '# Implementation Notes' > slop/NEW_FEATURE_NOTES.md
+
+# 5. Add tests
+# ... write tests ...
+
+# 6. Run test suite
+bundle exec rake test
+```
+
+Remember: Consistency in code style and documentation organization is crucial for maintaining this project's quality and readability.

+
+## String Matching Requirements
+
+### Prefix/Suffix Matching
+Required for:
+- **Email addresses** (from:, to:, cc:, bcc:, deliveredto:)
+  - `from:marc@` → prefix match → `WHERE email_address LIKE 'marc@%'`
+  - `from:@example.com` → suffix match → `WHERE email_address LIKE '%@example.com'`
+  - `from:marc@example.com` → exact match → `WHERE email_address = 'marc@example.com'`
+
+- **Mailing lists** (list:)
+  - Same pattern as email addresses
+
+- **Filenames** (filename:)
+  - `filename:pdf` → extension match → `WHERE filename LIKE '%.pdf'`
+  - `filename:homework` → prefix match → `WHERE filename LIKE 'homework%'`
+
+### Exact Match Only
+- RFC822 message IDs
+- Boolean/enum fields (is:, has:, in:, category:, label:)
+
+## SQL Visitor Usage
+
+The library provides two SQL visitor implementations for different database backends: SQLite and Postgres. They are configured to use the schema described below. You convert the search AST nodes into a SQL query using the provided SQL visitors. If you have a different schema, use the visitor code as a template.
+
+
+```ruby
+ast = GmailSearchSyntax.parse!("from:amy@example.com newer_than:7d")
+visitor = GmailSearchSyntax::SQLiteVisitor.new(current_user_email: "me@example.com")
+visitor.visit(ast)
+
+sql, params = visitor.to_query.to_sql
+# sql: "SELECT DISTINCT m.id FROM messages m ... WHERE ... m.internal_date > datetime('now', ?)"
+# params: ["from", "cc", "bcc", "amy@example.com", "-7 days"]
+```
+
+The visitors implement:
+
+- **Parameterized queries**: All user input is bound via `?` placeholders
+- **Automatic table joins**: Joins required tables based on operators
+- **Nested conditions**: Properly handles AND/OR/NOT with parentheses
+- **Special operators**:
+  - `from:me` / `to:me` → uses `current_user_email`
+  - `in:anywhere` → no location filter
+  - `AROUND` → generates `(1 = 0)` no-op condition
+- **Date handling**:
+  - Converts dates from `YYYY/MM/DD` to `YYYY-MM-DD`
+  - Parses relative times (`1y`, `2d`, `3m`) to database-specific datetime functions
+- **Size parsing**: Converts `10M`, `1G` to bytes
+
+## Fuzzy Matching Limitations
+
+The current implementation does **not** support:
+- **AROUND operator** (proximity search) - generates no-op `(1 = 0)` condition
+- Full-text search with word distance calculations
+- Stemming or phonetic matching
+- Levenshtein distance / typo tolerance
+
+These features require additional implementation, potentially using SQLite FTS5 extensions.

-## SQL Visitor Usage
-
-The library provides two SQL visitor implementations for different database backends:
-
-### SQLiteVisitor
-
-Converts parsed AST into SQLite-compatible SQL queries:
-
-```ruby
-ast = GmailSearchSyntax.parse!("from:amy@example.com newer_than:7d")
-visitor = GmailSearchSyntax::SQLiteVisitor.new(current_user_email: "me@example.com")
-visitor.visit(ast)
-
-sql, params = visitor.to_query.to_sql
-# sql: "SELECT DISTINCT m.id FROM messages m ... WHERE ... m.internal_date > datetime('now', ?)"
-# params: ["from", "cc", "bcc", "amy@example.com", "-7 days"]
-```
-
-### PostgresVisitor
-
-Converts parsed AST into PostgreSQL-compatible SQL queries:
-
-```ruby
-ast = GmailSearchSyntax.parse!("from:amy@example.com newer_than:7d")
-visitor = GmailSearchSyntax::PostgresVisitor.new(current_user_email: "me@example.com")
-visitor.visit(ast)
-
-sql, params = visitor.to_query.to_sql
-# sql: "SELECT DISTINCT m.id FROM messages m ... WHERE ... m.internal_date > (NOW() - ?::interval)"
-# params: ["from", "cc", "bcc", "amy@example.com", "7 days"]
-```
-
-**Note**: `SqlVisitor` is an alias for `SQLiteVisitor` for backward compatibility.
-
-### Database-Specific Differences
-
-The main difference between the visitors is in relative date handling:
-
-| Feature | SQLite | PostgreSQL |
-|---------|--------|------------|
-| `older_than:7d` | `datetime('now', '-7 days')` | `NOW() - '7 days'::interval` |
-| `newer_than:3m` | `datetime('now', '-3 months')` | `NOW() - '3 months'::interval` |
-| Parameter format | `"-7 days"` (negative) | `"7 days"` (positive with cast) |
-
-All other query generation is identical between the two visitors.
-
-### Features
-
-- **Parameterized queries**: All user input is bound via `?` placeholders
-- **Automatic table joins**: Joins required tables based on operators
-- **Nested conditions**: Properly handles AND/OR/NOT with parentheses
-- **Special operators**:
-  - `from:me` / `to:me` → uses `current_user_email`
-  - `in:anywhere` → no location filter
-  - `AROUND` → generates `(1 = 0)` no-op condition
-- **Date handling**:
-  - Converts dates from `YYYY/MM/DD` to `YYYY-MM-DD`
-  - Parses relative times (`1y`, `2d`, `3m`) to database-specific datetime functions
-- **Size parsing**: Converts `10M`, `1G` to bytes
-
-### Query Object
-
-The `Query` class accumulates SQL components:
-
-```ruby
-query = visitor.to_query
-
-query.conditions  # Array of WHERE conditions
-query.joins       # Hash of JOIN clauses
-query.params      # Array of bound parameters
-
-sql, params = query.to_sql
-# Returns: [sql_string, parameters_array]
-```
-
-## Fuzzy Matching Limitations
-
-The current implementation does **not** support:
-- **AROUND operator** (proximity search) - generates no-op `(1 = 0)` condition
-- Full-text search with word distance calculations
-- Stemming or phonetic matching
-- Levenshtein distance / typo tolerance
-
-These features require additional implementation, potentially using SQLite FTS5 extensions.
