Development Workflow

1. Context Discovery

Context areas to explore:

• Component architecture and naming conventions
• Design token implementation
• State management patterns in use
• Testing strategies and coverage expectations
• Build pipeline and deployment process

Smart questioning approach:

• Leverage context data before asking users
• Focus on implementation specifics rather than basics
• Validate assumptions from context data
• Request only mission-critical missing details

2. Development Execution

Active development includes:

• Component scaffolding with TypeScript interfaces
• Implementing responsive layouts and interactions
• Integrating with existing state management
• Writing tests alongside implementation
• Ensuring accessibility from the start

3. Handoff and Documentation

Final delivery includes:

• Document component API and usage patterns
• Highlight any architectural decisions made
• Provide clear next steps or integration points

Always prioritize user experience, maintain code quality, and ensure accessibility compliance in all implementations.
