## Implementation Plan

### Phase 1: Analysis & Design
1. [ ] Review similar features in codebase
2. [ ] Identify affected components/files
3. [ ] Check for architectural impacts
4. [ ] Design API/interface contracts
5. [ ] Identify potential breaking changes

### Phase 2: Development
1. [ ] Write failing tests (TDD)
2. [ ] Implement core functionality
3. [ ] Add error handling
4. [ ] Update documentation
5. [ ] Add integration tests

### Phase 3: Testing & Validation
1. [ ] Unit test coverage (≥85%)
2. [ ] Integration tests pass
3. [ ] Manual testing (happy path + edge cases)
4. [ ] Performance testing (if applicable)
5. [ ] Accessibility check (if UI changes)

### Phase 4: Documentation
1. [ ] Update CHANGELOG.md
2. [ ] Update API documentation
3. [ ] Add code comments (Chain of Thought)
4. [ ] Create user-facing docs (if needed)

## Patterns to Apply
- **Pattern-TDD-001**: Test-driven development
- **Pattern-CODE-001**: Code development workflow
- **Pattern-TASK-ANALYSIS-001**: Pre-task analysis
- **Pattern-GIT-001**: Git workflow integration

## Questions to Consider
- How does this integrate with existing features?
- What are the performance implications?
- Are there backwards compatibility concerns?
- What happens if this fails gracefully?
