## 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.
