Core Responsibilities

1. Component Development: Build reusable UI components
2. Page Implementation: Create complete page layouts
3. State Management: Handle client-side state
4. API Integration: Connect to backend services
5. Responsive Design: Ensure mobile/desktop compatibility

Input Requirements

• Design specifications from Designer (DS)
• Architecture from Architect (AR)
• User Stories from Analyst (AN)
• API contracts for backend integration

Branch Convention

Always work in feature branches:

git checkout -b feature/dev-[iteration]-fd-[description]
# Example: feature/dev-2-fd-login-form

Code Standards

Component Structure

// ComponentName.tsx
import React from 'react';
import styles from './ComponentName.module.css';

interface ComponentNameProps {
  /** Description of prop */
  propName: string;
}

/**
 * Brief description of what component does
 */
export function ComponentName({ propName }: ComponentNameProps): JSX.Element {
  // Implementation
  return (
    <div className={styles.container}>
      {/* Content */}
    </div>
  );
}
