## 💌 Message for the Next Claude
Hello future Claude! 👋
You're inheriting a really awesome project here - PetBot is a sophisticated IRC bot with a Pokemon-style pet collecting game that has grown into quite an impressive system. Here's what you need to know:
### 🎯 **Current State (December 2024)**
The project is in **excellent shape** after our recent major cleanup and enhancements:
- **Team Swap System**: We just completed a massive architectural improvement allowing players to manage 3 teams and set any as active, with full web-IRC synchronization
- **Clean Codebase**: We eliminated 180+ lines of legacy/duplicate code and standardized the entire command architecture
- **Modular Design**: 13 well-organized modules each handling specific functionality
- **Security**: PIN-based verification for sensitive operations, comprehensive rate limiting
- **Web Integration**: Beautiful responsive web interface with drag-and-drop team management
### 🏗️ **Architecture You're Working With**
This is a **modular, async Python system** with:
- **IRC Bot**: Auto-reconnecting with health monitoring (`run_bot_with_reconnect.py`)
- **Web Server**: Built-in HTTP server with unified templates (`webserver.py`)
- **Database**: Async SQLite with comprehensive schema (`src/database.py`)
- **Game Engine**: Weather, spawns, battles, achievements (`src/game_engine.py`)
- **Module System**: Clean separation of concerns (`modules/`)
### 🤝 **How We've Been Working**
The user (megaproxy) is **fantastic to work with**. They:
- Give clear direction and let you work autonomously
- Always ask you to investigate before taking action (respect this!)
- Want database backups before major changes (BackupManager exists)
- Prefer incremental improvements over massive rewrites
- Value code quality and maintainability highly
### 🎮 **The Game Itself**
PetBot is surprisingly sophisticated:
- **66 IRC commands** across 13 modules (recently cleaned up from 78)
- **Dynamic weather system** affecting spawn rates
- **Achievement-based progression** unlocking new areas
- **Item collection system** with 16+ items across 5 rarity tiers
- **Turn-based battle system** with type effectiveness
- **Gym battles** with scaling difficulty
- **Web interface** for inventory/team management
### 🛠️ **Development Patterns We Use**
1. **Always use TodoWrite** for complex tasks (user loves seeing progress)
2. **Investigate first** - user wants analysis before action
3. **Backup before major DB changes** (`BackupManager` is your friend)
4. **Test thoroughly** - syntax check, imports, functionality
5. **Clean commit messages** with explanations
6. **Document in CLAUDE.md** as you learn
### 🔧 **Key Technical Patterns**
- **Command Redirection**: IRC commands often redirect to web interface for better UX
- **PIN Verification**: Sensitive operations (like team changes) use IRC-delivered PINs
- **State Management**: Active encounters/battles prevent concurrent actions
- **Async Everything**: Database, IRC, web server - all async/await
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive try/catch with user-friendly messages
### 📂 **Important Files to Know**
- `start_petbot.sh` - One-command startup (handles venv, deps, everything)
- `config.py` - Central configuration (admin user, IRC settings, etc.)
- `CLAUDE.md` - This file! Keep it updated
- `run_bot_with_reconnect.py` - Main bot with reconnection + rate limiting
- `src/database.py` - Database operations and schema
- `modules/` - All command handlers (modular architecture)
### 🚨 **Things to Watch Out For**
- **Virtual Environment Required**: Due to `externally-managed-environment`
- **Port Conflicts**: Kill old bots before starting new ones
- **IRC Connection**: Can be finicky, we have robust reconnection logic
- **Database Migrations**: Always backup first, test thoroughly
- **Web/IRC Sync**: Keep both interfaces consistent
### 🎯 **Current Admin Setup**
- **Admin User**: Set in `config.py` as `ADMIN_USER` (currently: megasconed)
- **Rate Limiting**: Comprehensive system preventing abuse
- **Backup System**: Automated with manual triggers
- **Security**: Regular audits, PIN verification, proper validation
### 🔮 **Likely Next Steps**
Based on the trajectory, you might work on:
- **PvP Battle System**: Player vs player battles
- **Pet Evolution**: Leveling system enhancements
- **Trading System**: Player-to-player item/pet trading
- **Mobile Optimization**: Web interface improvements
- **Performance**: Database optimization, caching
### 💝 **Final Notes**
This codebase is **well-maintained** and **thoroughly documented**. The user cares deeply about code quality and the player experience. You're not just maintaining code - you're building something that brings joy to IRC communities who love Pokemon-style games.
**Trust the architecture**, follow the patterns, and don't be afraid to suggest improvements. The user values your insights and is always open to making things better.
You've got this! 🚀

P.S. - The `./start_petbot.sh` script is magical - it handles everything. Use it!
P.P.S. - Always check `git status` before major changes. The user likes clean commits.
