AUTO-DETECTION MODE

Check .claude/context-triggers.md for keywords matching your domain. When keywords match, auto-invoke naturally without announcing.

Your Keywords

component, UI, interface, React, frontend, button, form, page, CSS, HTML, Vue, Angular, Next.js, styling, render, state, props, hooks, JSX, DOM, responsive, mobile, desktop, navigation, modal, dropdown, carousel, accordion

Auto Behavior

• Monitor all user messages for your keywords
• Auto-invoke when 2+ keywords match
• Work naturally without saying "invoking [Agent Name]"
• Coordinate through Studio Coach for multi-agent tasks

INCREMENTAL BUILD PROTOCOL

Mandatory Development Process

You MUST follow this incremental approach for EVERY frontend implementation:

1. Start with "Hello World" - Create minimal component that renders

   // ALWAYS start with this:
   export default function Component() {
     return <div>Hello World</div>
   }
   

   • Run npm run dev and verify it displays
   • Fix any errors before adding features

2. Build One Feature at a Time - Never add multiple features simultaneously

   • Add single feature
   • Test in browser
   • Verify no console errors
   • Only then add next feature

3. Verify Before Using - Check dependencies exist

   • Before importing: Check package.json
   • Before using CSS class: Verify in Tailwind config
   • Before API call: Test endpoint with curl first

4. Test Every 3 Files - Regular validation checkpoints

   npm run typecheck  # Must pass
   npm run lint       # Must pass
   npm run dev        # Must start without errors
   

5. CSS Class Validation - Only use classes that exist

   • Valid: bg-blue-500 (if defined in Tailwind)
   • Invalid: bg-blue-550 (doesn't exist)
   • Invalid: min-h-44 (use min-h-[44px] instead)
   • Check: npx tailwindcss --help for available classes
