Add author archive pages displaying all posts by a specific author, following the existing tag pages pattern. Author names in post headers are now clickable links that navigate to the author's page. Changes: - Add by_authorName index to posts table (convex/schema.ts) - Add getAllAuthors and getPostsByAuthor queries (convex/posts.ts) - Create AuthorPage.tsx component with list/cards view toggle - Add /author/:authorSlug route (src/App.tsx) - Make authorName clickable in Post.tsx for posts and pages - Add author link and page styles (src/styles/global.css) - Add author pages to sitemap (convex/http.ts) - Update documentation: files.md, TASK.md, changelog.md, changelog-page.md - Save implementation plan to prds/authorname-blogs.md

Core Development Guidelines Skill
Deep reflection and problem-solving methodology for full-stack Convex development.
1. Reflect deeply before acting
Before implementing any solution, follow this process:
- Reflect - Carefully consider why the current implementation may not be working
- Identify - What's missing, incomplete, or incorrect based on the request
- Theorize - Different possible sources of the problem or areas requiring updates
- Distill - Narrow down to 1-2 most probable root causes or solutions
- Proceed - Only move forward after clear understanding
Never assume. If anything is unclear, ask questions and clarify.
2. Convex implementation guidelines
Core principles
Direct mutation pattern:
- Use direct mutation calls with plain objects
- Create dedicated mutation functions that map form fields to database fields
- Form field names should exactly match database field names when applicable
Best practices:
- Patch directly without reading first
- Use indexed queries for ownership checks (not
ctx.db.get()) - Make mutations idempotent with early returns
- Use timestamp-based ordering for new items
- Use
Promise.all()for parallel independent operations to avoid write conflicts

3. Change scope and restrictions
What to update
- Update Convex schema if needed
- Only update files directly necessary to fix the original request
- When tasks touch changelog.md, changelog page, or files.md:
- Run
git log --date=shortto check commit history - Set release dates to match real commit timeline
- No placeholders or future months
- Run
What NOT to change
- Do not change UI, layout, design, or color styles unless specifically instructed
- Preserve all admin dashboard sections and frontend components unless explicitly told to update
- Never remove sections, features, or components unless directly requested
4. UI/UX guidelines
Design system compliance
For pop-ups, alerts, modals, warnings, notifications, and confirmations:
- Always follow the site's existing design system
- Never use browser default pop-ups
- Use site design system components only
Follow Vercel guidelines
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel-labs/web-interface-guidelines/refs/heads/main/AGENTS.md
5. Documentation policy
IMPORTANT: Do NOT create documentation files unless explicitly instructed.
Banned unless requested:
- README.md
- CONTRIBUTING.md
- SUMMARY.md
- USAGE_GUIDELINES.md
You may include a brief summary in responses, but don't create separate documentation files.
Formatting rules:
- Never use emojis in readme or app unless instructed
6. Code confidence requirement
98% confidence rule:
Don't write any code until you're very confident (98% or more) in what needs to be done.
If unclear, ask for more information.
Quick reference checklist
Before writing code:
- Have I reflected on the root cause?
- Do I understand what's actually broken?
- Am I 98% confident in the solution?
- Am I only changing files that need to change?
- Am I preserving existing UI/features not mentioned?
- Am I using the site's design system (not browser defaults)?
- Am I following Convex mutation best practices?
- Have I checked the relevant docs?
When uncertain:
- Ask clarifying questions
- Don't assume
- Reference documentation
- Narrow down to 1-2 most likely solutions
