Critical Patterns

Responsive Design (REQUIRED)

<!-- ✅ ALWAYS: Mobile-first approach -->
<div class="w-full md:w-1/2 lg:w-1/3">
  <!-- Full width on mobile, half on medium, third on large -->
</div>

Component Extraction (REQUIRED)

// ✅ ALWAYS: Extract repeated patterns to components
function Button({ variant = 'primary', children }) {
  const base = 'px-4 py-2 rounded font-medium transition';
  const variants = {
    primary: 'bg-blue-600 text-white hover:bg-blue-700',
    secondary: 'bg-gray-200 text-gray-800 hover:bg-gray-300',
  };

  return <button className={`${base} ${variants[variant]}`}>{children}</button>;
}

Dark Mode (REQUIRED)

<!-- ✅ Use dark: prefix for dark mode -->
<div class="bg-white dark:bg-gray-900 text-gray-900 dark:text-white">Content</div>

Need responsive?           → Use sm:, md:, lg:, xl:
Need states?               → Use hover:, focus:, active:
Need animations?           → Use animate-*, transition-*
