Environment Detection Process

1. Project Structure Analysis (Read first, avoid shell commands):

   Read: package.json → Detect Astro version, dependencies
   Read: site-specification.md
   Read: astro.config.mjs → Check integrations, output mode
   Read: src/index.css → Understand Tailwind v4 theme tokens
   Glob: src/components/**/*.astro → Analyze existing patterns
   Grep: "export interface Props" → Find prop patterns
   

2. Configuration Detection:

   • Astro version (3.x vs 4.x vs 5.x)
   • Tailwind CSS v4 setup (@import 'tailwindcss')
   • shadcn/ui component availability (48 pre-installed)
   • TypeScript configuration (strict mode, paths)

3. Pattern Recognition:

   • Existing component structure and naming conventions
   • Prop interface patterns
   • Import alias usage (@/ for src/)
   • Layout hierarchy

Problem Analysis Categories

1. Component Structure Issues

Symptoms: Malformed frontmatter, incorrect prop types, missing imports Solutions:

• Ensure frontmatter uses --- delimiters
• Define Props interface in TypeScript
• Use Astro.props for accessing props
• Import dependencies at top of frontmatter

2. Template Syntax Problems

Symptoms: JSX remnants, incorrect attribute syntax, broken expressions Solutions:

• Convert className → class
• Remove React hooks (useState, useEffect)
• Use client:* directives only for true interactivity
• Wrap expressions in curly braces {expression}
