Update documentation and tests for coverage, email integration, and authentication

- **Backend Documentation:** Improve authentication flow details, update token expiry times, and reflect defensive code in test coverage. Add guidance for email service integration with SMTP and third-party providers.
- **Test Coverage:** Backend overall coverage increased to **97%** with critical security tests added (JWT attacks, session hijacking, privilege escalation). Justify missing lines and update CI instructions.
- **Frontend Updates:** Update E2E worker configuration (`workers: 12` in non-CI mode) and maintain 100% E2E test pass rate.
- **Default Implementations:** Enhance email service with templates for registration and password resets. Document integration options for production use cases.
- **Consistency Improvements:** Align naming conventions and test configurations across backend and frontend to reflect current system architecture.

-### Known Issues
+## Email Service Integration
 
-1. **Pytest-cov coverage tracking issue**:
+The project includes a **placeholder email service** (`backend/app/services/email_service.py`) designed for easy integration with production email providers.
-   - Tests pass but coverage not recorded for some route files
-   - Suspected: xdist parallel execution interferes with coverage collection
-   - Workaround: Run with `-n 0` for accurate coverage
-   - Investigation needed: HTML coverage report, source vs trace mode
 
-2. **Dead code in users.py** (lines 150-154, 270-275):
+### Current Implementation
-   - Checks for `is_superuser` in `UserUpdate` schema
+
-   - Field doesn't exist in schema, so code is unreachable
+**Console Backend (Default)**:
-   - Marked with `# pragma: no cover`
+- Logs email content to console/logs instead of sending
-   - Consider: Remove code or add field to schema
+- Safe for development and testing
+- No external dependencies required
+
+### Production Integration
+
+To enable email functionality, implement one of these approaches:
+
+**Option 1: SMTP Integration** (Recommended for most use cases)
+```python
+# In app/services/email_service.py, complete the SMTPEmailBackend implementation
+from aiosmtplib import SMTP
+from email.mime.text import MIMEText
+from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
+
+# Add environment variables to .env:
+# SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
+# SMTP_PORT=587
+# SMTP_USERNAME=your-email@gmail.com
+# SMTP_PASSWORD=your-app-password
+```
+
+**Option 2: Third-Party Service** (SendGrid, AWS SES, Mailgun, etc.)
+```python
+# Create a new backend class, e.g., SendGridEmailBackend
+class SendGridEmailBackend(EmailBackend):
+    def __init__(self, api_key: str):
+        self.api_key = api_key
+        self.client = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient(api_key)
+
+    async def send_email(self, to, subject, html_content, text_content=None):
+        # Implement SendGrid sending logic
+        pass
+
+# Update global instance in email_service.py:
+# email_service = EmailService(SendGridEmailBackend(settings.SENDGRID_API_KEY))
+```
+
+**Option 3: External Microservice**
+- Use a dedicated email microservice via HTTP API
+- Implement `HTTPEmailBackend` that makes async HTTP requests
+
+### Email Templates Included
+
+The service includes pre-built templates for:
+- **Password Reset**: `send_password_reset_email()` - 1 hour expiry
+- **Email Verification**: `send_email_verification()` - 24 hour expiry
+
+Both include responsive HTML and plain text versions.
+
+### Integration Points
+
+Email sending is called from:
+- `app/api/routes/auth.py` - Password reset flow (placeholder comments)
+- Registration flow - Ready for email verification integration
+
+**Note**: Current auth routes have placeholder comments where email functionality should be integrated. Search for "TODO: Send email" in the codebase.

+1. Tests passing successfully (598/598 ✓)
 2. Manual verification showing code paths ARE being executed
 3. Correct responses being returned from endpoints
 
-**Root Cause**: Suspected interaction between pytest-cov, pytest-xdist (parallel execution), and the FastAPI async test client causing coverage data to not be collected for certain modules.
+**Root Cause Identified**: Coverage.py was not configured to track async code execution through ASGI transport's greenlet-based concurrency model.
 
-**Evidence**:
+**Solution**: Added `concurrency = thread,greenlet` to `.coveragerc`
-```bash
+
-# Running with xdist shows "Module was never imported" warning
+```ini
-pytest --cov=app/api/routes/admin --cov-report=term-missing
+[run]
-# Warning: Module app/api/routes/admin was never imported
+source = app
-# Warning: No data was collected
+concurrency = thread,greenlet  # ← THIS WAS THE FIX!
+omit = ...

-**Symptoms**:
-- Tests pass: 596/596 ✓
-- Endpoints return correct data (manually verified)
-- Coverage shows 46% for admin.py despite 20+ tests
 
-**Attempted Solutions**:
+**Problem**: Coverage.py was not tracking async code execution through httpx's ASGITransport
-- ✅ Added tests for all missing line ranges
-- ✅ Verified tests execute and pass
-- ✅ Manually confirmed endpoints work
-- ⬜ Need to investigate pytest-cov configuration
 
-**Hypothesis**:
+**Solution**: Added `concurrency = thread,greenlet` to `.coveragerc`
-- FastAPI async test client may not be compatible with pytest-cov's default tracing
-- xdist parallel execution interferes with coverage collection
-- Dependency overrides may hide actual route execution from coverage
 
-**Next Steps**:
+**Result**: Coverage jumped from 79% → 88%, with route files now properly tracked:
-1. Run with `-n 0` (single process)
+- admin.py: 46% → 98%
-2. Try `--cov-branch` for branch coverage

-## Conclusion
+## Conclusion (UPDATED)
 
-Current coverage is **79%** with a path to **93%+** through systematic testing. The primary blocker is the coverage tracking issue with route tests - once resolved, coverage should jump significantly. With focused effort on organization routes, CRUD operations, and permission testing, the 95% goal is achievable within 20-30 hours of dedicated work.
+✅ **Coverage tracking issue RESOLVED!** Coverage improved from **79% → 88%** by adding `concurrency = thread,greenlet` to `.coveragerc`.
+
+Current coverage is **88%** with a clear path to **95%+** through systematic testing of:
+1. Organization routes (43 lines)
+2. Base CRUD advanced features (60 lines)
+3. Organization CRUD exceptions (41 lines)
+4. Permission dependencies (20 lines)
+5. Misc utilities (40 lines)
 
 **Key Success Factors**:
-1. Resolve pytest-cov tracking issue (blocks 5-10% coverage)
+1. ✅ **RESOLVED**: pytest-cov tracking issue (+9% coverage)
-2. Test organization module (highest gap)
+2. Test organization module (highest remaining gap)
 3. Exception path testing (low-hanging fruit)
 4. Advanced CRUD feature testing (pagination, filtering, search)
 
 **Estimated Timeline to 95%**:
-- With coverage fix: 2-3 days of focused work
+- **15-20 hours of focused work** across 5 phases
-- Without coverage fix: 4-5 days (includes investigation)
+- Can be completed in **2-3 days** with dedicated effort

-
-```typescript
-<Dialog open={isOpen} onOpenChange={setIsOpen}>
-  <DialogContent>
-    <DialogHeader>
-      <DialogTitle>Create User</DialogTitle>
-      <DialogDescription>
-        Add a new user to the system
-      </DialogDescription>
-    </DialogHeader>
-    <UserForm
-      mode="create"
-      onSuccess={() => {
-        setIsOpen(false);
-        queryClient.invalidateQueries(['users']);
-      }}
-      onCancel={() => setIsOpen(false)}
-    />
-  </DialogContent>
-</Dialog>
-```
-
-### 3.2 Card + Table Pattern
-
-```typescript

-      </Button>
-    </div>
-  </CardHeader>

-      />
-    </div>
-  );
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## 4. Customization
-
-### 4.1 Theming
-
-Colors are defined in `tailwind.config.ts` using CSS variables:
-
-```typescript
-// tailwind.config.ts
-export default {
-  theme: {
-    extend: {
-      colors: {
-        border: 'hsl(var(--border))',
-        background: 'hsl(var(--background))',
-        foreground: 'hsl(var(--foreground))',
-        primary: {
-          DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--primary))',
-          foreground: 'hsl(var(--primary-foreground))',
-        },
-        // ...
-      },
-    },
-  },
-};
-```
-
-**Customize colors in `globals.css`:**
-```css
-@layer base {
-  :root {
-    --primary: 222.2 47.4% 11.2%;
-    --primary-foreground: 210 40% 98%;
-    /* ... */
-  }
-
-  .dark {
-    --primary: 210 40% 98%;
-    --primary-foreground: 222.2 47.4% 11.2%;
-    /* ... */
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 4.2 Component Variants
-
-Add new variants to existing components:
-
-```typescript
-// components/ui/button.tsx
-const buttonVariants = cva(
-  'base-classes',
-  {
-    variants: {
-      variant: {
-        default: '...',
-        destructive: '...',
-        outline: '...',
-        // Add custom variant
-        success: 'bg-green-600 text-white hover:bg-green-700',
-      },
-    },
-  }
-);
-
-// Usage
-<Button variant="success">Activate</Button>
-```
-
-### 4.3 Extending Components
-
-Create wrapper components:
-
-```typescript
-// components/common/ConfirmDialog.tsx
-interface ConfirmDialogProps {
-  title: string;
-  description: string;
-  confirmLabel?: string;
-  onConfirm: () => void;
-  onCancel: () => void;
-}
-
-export function ConfirmDialog({
-  title,
-  description,
-  confirmLabel = 'Confirm',
-  onConfirm,
-  onCancel,
-}: ConfirmDialogProps) {
-  return (
-    <Dialog open onOpenChange={onCancel}>
-      <DialogContent>
-        <DialogHeader>
-          <DialogTitle>{title}</DialogTitle>
-          <DialogDescription>{description}</DialogDescription>
-        </DialogHeader>
-        <DialogFooter>
-          <Button variant="outline" onClick={onCancel}>
-            Cancel
-          </Button>
-          <Button variant="destructive" onClick={onConfirm}>
-            {confirmLabel}
-          </Button>
-        </DialogFooter>
-      </DialogContent>
-    </Dialog>
-  );
-}
-```
-

-
-## 5. Accessibility
-
-### 5.1 Keyboard Navigation
-
-All shadcn/ui components support keyboard navigation:
-- `Tab`: Move focus
-- `Enter`/`Space`: Activate
-- `Escape`: Close dialogs/dropdowns
-- Arrow keys: Navigate lists/menus
-
-### 5.2 Screen Reader Support
-
-Components include proper ARIA labels:
-
-```typescript
-<button aria-label="Close dialog">
-  <X className="h-4 w-4" />
-</button>
-
-<div role="status" aria-live="polite">
-  Loading users...
-</div>
-
-<input
-  aria-invalid={!!errors.email}
-  aria-describedby="email-error"
-/>
-```
-
-### 5.3 Focus Management
-
-Dialog components automatically manage focus:
-- Focus trap inside dialog
-- Return focus on close
-- Focus first focusable element
-
-### 5.4 Color Contrast
-
-All theme colors meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards:
-- Normal text: 4.5:1 contrast ratio
-- Large text: 3:1 contrast ratio
-

+# Quick Start Guide
+
+Get up and running with the FastNext design system immediately. This guide covers the essential patterns you need to build 80% of interfaces.
+
+---
+
+## TL;DR
+
+```tsx
+// 1. Import from @/components/ui/*
+import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button';
+import { Card, CardHeader, CardTitle, CardContent } from '@/components/ui/card';
+
+// 2. Use semantic color tokens
+className="bg-primary text-primary-foreground"
+className="text-destructive"
+
+// 3. Use spacing scale (4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32...)
+className="p-4 space-y-6"
+
+// 4. Build layouts with these patterns
+<div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
+  <div className="max-w-4xl mx-auto space-y-6">
+    {/* Your content */}
+  </div>
+</div>

+import { AlertCircle } from 'lucide-react';
+
+// Default alert
+<Alert>

+## 2. Essential Layouts (1 minute)
+
+### Page Container
+
+```tsx
+// Standard page layout
+<div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
+  <div className="max-w-4xl mx-auto space-y-6">
+    <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold">Page Title</h1>
+    <Card>{/* Content */}</Card>
+  </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Dashboard Grid
+
+```tsx
+// Responsive card grid
+<div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-6">
+  {items.map(item => (
+    <Card key={item.id}>
+      <CardHeader>
+        <CardTitle>{item.title}</CardTitle>
+      </CardHeader>
+      <CardContent>{item.content}</CardContent>
+    </Card>
+  ))}
+</div>
+```
+
+### Form Layout
+
+```tsx
+// Centered form with max width
+<div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
+  <Card className="max-w-md mx-auto">
+    <CardHeader>
+      <CardTitle>Login</CardTitle>
+    </CardHeader>
+    <CardContent>
+      <form className="space-y-4">
+        {/* Form fields */}
+      </form>
+    </CardContent>
+  </Card>
+</div>
+```
+
+**[See all layout patterns](./03-layouts.md)** | **[Layout examples](/dev/layouts)**
+
+---
+
+## 3. Color System
+
+**Always use semantic tokens**, never arbitrary colors:
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - Semantic tokens
+<div className="bg-primary text-primary-foreground">Primary</div>
+<div className="bg-destructive text-destructive-foreground">Error</div>
+<div className="bg-muted text-muted-foreground">Disabled</div>
+<p className="text-foreground">Body text</p>
+<p className="text-muted-foreground">Secondary text</p>
+
+// ❌ BAD - Arbitrary colors
+<div className="bg-blue-500 text-white">Don't do this</div>
+```
+
+**Available tokens:**
+- `primary` - Main brand color, CTAs
+- `destructive` - Errors, delete actions
+- `muted` - Disabled states, subtle backgrounds
+- `accent` - Hover states, highlights
+- `foreground` - Body text
+- `muted-foreground` - Secondary text
+- `border` - Borders, dividers
+
+**[See complete color system](./01-foundations.md#color-system-oklch)**
+
+---
+
+## 4. Spacing System
+
+**Use multiples of 4** (Tailwind's base unit is 0.25rem = 4px):
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - Consistent spacing
+<div className="p-4 space-y-6">
+  <div className="mb-8">Content</div>
+</div>
+
+// ❌ BAD - Arbitrary spacing
+<div className="p-[13px] space-y-[17px]">
+  <div className="mb-[23px]">Content</div>
+</div>
+```
+
+**Common spacing values:**
+- `2` (8px) - Tight spacing
+- `4` (16px) - Standard spacing
+- `6` (24px) - Section spacing
+- `8` (32px) - Large gaps
+- `12` (48px) - Section dividers
+
+**Pro tip:** Use `gap-` for grids/flex, `space-y-` for vertical stacks:
+
+```tsx
+// Grid spacing
+<div className="grid grid-cols-3 gap-6">
+
+// Stack spacing
+<div className="space-y-4">
+```
+
+**[Read spacing philosophy](./04-spacing-philosophy.md)**
+
+---
+
+## 5. Responsive Design
+
+**Mobile-first approach** with Tailwind breakpoints:
+
+```tsx
+<div className="
+  p-4           // Mobile: 16px padding
+  sm:p-6        // Tablet: 24px padding
+  lg:p-8        // Desktop: 32px padding
+">
+  <h1 className="
+    text-2xl     // Mobile: 24px
+    sm:text-3xl  // Tablet: 30px
+    lg:text-4xl  // Desktop: 36px
+    font-bold
+  ">
+    Responsive Title
+  </h1>
+</div>
+
+// Grid columns
+<div className="grid
+  grid-cols-1        // Mobile: 1 column
+  md:grid-cols-2     // Tablet: 2 columns
+  lg:grid-cols-3     // Desktop: 3 columns
+  gap-6
+">
+```
+
+**Breakpoints:**
+- `sm:` 640px+
+- `md:` 768px+
+- `lg:` 1024px+
+- `xl:` 1280px+
+
+---
+
+## 6. Accessibility
+
+**Always include:**
+
+```tsx
+// Labels for inputs
+<Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
+<Input id="email" type="email" />
+
+// ARIA for errors
+<Input
+  aria-invalid={!!errors.email}
+  aria-describedby={errors.email ? 'email-error' : undefined}
+/>
+{errors.email && (
+  <p id="email-error" className="text-sm text-destructive">
+    {errors.email.message}
+  </p>
+)}
+
+// ARIA labels for icon-only buttons
+<Button size="icon" aria-label="Close dialog">
+  <X className="h-4 w-4" />
+</Button>
+```
+
+**[Complete accessibility guide](./07-accessibility.md)**
+
+---
+
+## 7. Common Patterns Cheat Sheet
+
+### Loading State
+
+```tsx
+import { Skeleton } from '@/components/ui/skeleton';
+
+{isLoading ? (
+  <Skeleton className="h-12 w-full" />
+) : (
+  <div>{content}</div>
+)}
+```
+
+### Dropdown Menu
+
+```tsx
+import {
+  DropdownMenu,
+  DropdownMenuContent,
+  DropdownMenuItem,
+  DropdownMenuTrigger
+} from '@/components/ui/dropdown-menu';
+
+<DropdownMenu>
+  <DropdownMenuTrigger asChild>
+    <Button variant="outline">Options</Button>
+  </DropdownMenuTrigger>
+  <DropdownMenuContent>
+    <DropdownMenuItem>Edit</DropdownMenuItem>
+    <DropdownMenuItem>Delete</DropdownMenuItem>
+  </DropdownMenuContent>
+</DropdownMenu>
+```
+
+### Badge/Tag
+
+```tsx
+import { Badge } from '@/components/ui/badge';
+
+<Badge>New</Badge>
+<Badge variant="destructive">Urgent</Badge>
+<Badge variant="outline">Draft</Badge>
+```

+
+---
+
+## Color System (OKLCH)
+
+### Why OKLCH?
+
+We use **OKLCH** (Oklab LCH) color space for:
+- ✅ **Perceptual uniformity** - Colors look consistent across light/dark modes
+- ✅ **Better accessibility** - Predictable contrast ratios
+- ✅ **Vibrant colors** - More saturated without sacrificing legibility
+- ✅ **Future-proof** - CSS native support (vs HSL/RGB)
+
+**Learn more**: [oklch.com](https://oklch.com)
+
+---
+
+### Semantic Color Tokens
+
+All colors follow the **background/foreground** convention:
+- `background` - The background color
+- `foreground` - The text color that goes on that background
+
+**This ensures accessible contrast automatically.**
+
+---
+
+### Primary Colors
+
+**Purpose**: Main brand color, CTAs, primary actions
+
+```css
+/* Light & Dark Mode */
+--primary: oklch(0.6231 0.1880 259.8145)  /* Blue */
+--primary-foreground: oklch(1 0 0)         /* White text */
+```
+
+**Usage**:
+```tsx
+// Primary button (most common)
+<Button>Save Changes</Button>
+
+// Primary link
+<a href="#" className="text-primary hover:underline">
+  Learn more
+</a>
+
+// Primary badge
+<Badge className="bg-primary text-primary-foreground">New</Badge>
+```
+
+**When to use**:
+- ✅ Call-to-action buttons
+- ✅ Primary links
+- ✅ Active states in navigation
+- ✅ Important badges/tags
+
+**When NOT to use**:
+- ❌ Large background areas (too intense)
+- ❌ Body text (use `text-foreground`)
+- ❌ Disabled states (use `muted`)
+
+---
+
+### Secondary Colors
+
+**Purpose**: Secondary actions, less prominent UI elements
+
+```css

+// Secondary badge
+<Badge variant="secondary">Draft</Badge>
+
+// Muted background area
+<div className="bg-secondary text-secondary-foreground p-4 rounded-lg">
+  Less important information
+</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Muted Colors
+
+**Purpose**: Backgrounds for disabled states, subtle UI elements
+
+```css

+
+/* Dark Mode */
+--muted: oklch(0.2393 0 0)
+--muted-foreground: oklch(0.6588 0.0043 264.4327)
+```
+
+**Usage**:
+```tsx
+// Disabled button
+<Button disabled>Submit</Button>
+
+// Secondary/helper text
+<p className="text-muted-foreground text-sm">
+  This action cannot be undone
+</p>
+
+// Skeleton loader
+<Skeleton className="h-12 w-full" />
+
+// TabsList background
+<Tabs defaultValue="tab1">
+  <TabsList className="bg-muted">
+    <TabsTrigger value="tab1">Tab 1</TabsTrigger>
+  </TabsList>

+</Card>
+
+// Popover
+<Popover>
+  <PopoverTrigger>Open</PopoverTrigger>
+  <PopoverContent>Popover content</PopoverContent>
+</Popover>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Border & Input Colors
+
+**Purpose**: Borders, input field borders, dividers
+
+```css

+  className="focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-ring focus-visible:ring-offset-2"
+>
+  Focusable content
+</div>
+```
+
+**Accessibility note**: Focus rings are critical for keyboard navigation. Never remove them with `outline: none` without providing an alternative.
+
+---
+
+### Chart Colors
+
+**Purpose**: Data visualization with harmonious color palette
+
+```css
+--chart-1: oklch(0.6231 0.1880 259.8145)  /* Blue */

+  'hsl(var(--chart-4))',
+  'hsl(var(--chart-5))',
+];
+```
+
+---
+
+### Color Decision Tree
+
+```
+What's the purpose?
+│
+├─ Main action/CTA? → PRIMARY
+├─ Secondary action? → SECONDARY
+├─ Error/delete? → DESTRUCTIVE
+├─ Hover state? → ACCENT
+├─ Disabled/subtle? → MUTED
+├─ Card/elevated surface? → CARD
+├─ Border/divider? → BORDER
+└─ Focus indicator? → RING
+```
+
+---
+
+### Color Usage Guidelines
+
+#### ✅ DO
+
+```tsx
+// Use semantic tokens
+<div className="bg-primary text-primary-foreground">CTA</div>
+<p className="text-destructive">Error message</p>
+<div className="bg-muted text-muted-foreground">Subtle background</div>
+
+// Use accent for hover
+<div className="hover:bg-accent hover:text-accent-foreground">
+  Hover me
+</div>
+
+// Test contrast
+// Primary on white: 4.5:1 ✅
+// Destructive on white: 4.5:1 ✅
+```
+
+#### ❌ DON'T
+
+```tsx
+// Don't use arbitrary colors
+<div className="bg-blue-500 text-white">Bad</div>
+
+// Don't mix color spaces
+<div className="bg-primary text-[#ff0000]">Bad</div>
+
+// Don't use primary for large areas
+<div className="min-h-screen bg-primary">Too intense</div>
+
+// Don't override foreground without checking contrast
+<div className="bg-primary text-gray-300">Low contrast!</div>
+```
+

+| Normal | `font-normal` | 400 | **Body text (default)** |
+| Light | `font-light` | 300 | De-emphasized text |
+
+**Bold = most commonly used**

+
+### Typography Patterns
+
+#### Page Title
+```tsx
+<h1 className="text-3xl font-bold">Page Title</h1>
+```
+
+#### Section Heading
+```tsx
+<h2 className="text-2xl font-semibold mb-4">Section Heading</h2>
+```
+
+#### Card Title
+```tsx
+<CardTitle className="text-xl font-semibold">Card Title</CardTitle>
+```
+
+#### Body Text
+```tsx
+<p className="text-base text-foreground">
+  Regular paragraph text uses the default text-base size.
+</p>
+```
+
+#### Secondary Text
+```tsx
+<p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground">
+  Helper text, timestamps, captions
+</p>
+```
+
+#### Label
+```tsx
+<Label htmlFor="email" className="text-sm font-medium">
+  Email Address
+</Label>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Line Height
+
+| Class | Value | Use Case |
+|-------|-------|----------|
+| `leading-none` | 1 | Headings (rare) |
+| `leading-tight` | 1.25 | **Headings** |
+| `leading-snug` | 1.375 | Dense text |
+| `leading-normal` | 1.5 | **Body text (default)** |
+| `leading-relaxed` | 1.625 | Comfortable reading |
+| `leading-loose` | 2 | Very relaxed (rare) |
+
+**Usage**:
+```tsx
+// Heading
+<h1 className="text-3xl font-bold leading-tight">
+  Tight line height for headings
+</h1>
+
+// Body (default)
+<p className="leading-normal">
+  Normal line height for readability
+</p>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Typography Guidelines
+
+#### ✅ DO
+
+```tsx
+// Use semantic foreground colors
+<p className="text-foreground">Body text</p>
+<p className="text-muted-foreground">Secondary text</p>
+
+// Maintain heading hierarchy
+<h1 className="text-3xl font-bold">Page Title</h1>
+<h2 className="text-2xl font-semibold">Section</h2>
+<h3 className="text-xl font-semibold">Subsection</h3>
+
+// Limit line length for readability
+<article className="max-w-2xl mx-auto">
+  <p>60-80 characters per line is optimal</p>
+</article>
+
+// Use responsive type sizes
+<h1 className="text-2xl sm:text-3xl lg:text-4xl font-bold">
+  Responsive Title
+</h1>
+```
+
+#### ❌ DON'T
+
+```tsx
+// Don't use too many sizes on one page
+<p className="text-xs">Too small</p>
+<p className="text-sm">Still small</p>
+<p className="text-base">Base</p>
+<p className="text-lg">Large</p>
+<p className="text-xl">Larger</p>
+// ^ Pick 2-3 sizes max
+
+// Don't skip heading levels
+<h1>Page</h1>
+<h3>Section</h3>  // ❌ Skipped h2
+
+// Don't use custom colors without contrast check
+<p className="text-blue-300">Low contrast</p>
+
+// Don't overuse bold
+<p className="font-bold">
+  <span className="font-bold">Every</span>
+  <span className="font-bold">word</span>
+  <span className="font-bold">bold</span>
+</p>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Spacing Scale
+
+Tailwind uses a **0.25rem (4px) base unit**:
+
+```css
+--spacing: 0.25rem;
+```
+
+**All spacing should be multiples of 4px** for consistency.
+
+### Spacing Tokens
+
+| Token | rem | Pixels | Use Case |
+|-------|-----|--------|----------|
+| `0` | 0 | 0px | No spacing |
+| `px` | - | 1px | Borders, dividers |
+| `0.5` | 0.125rem | 2px | Very tight |
+| `1` | 0.25rem | 4px | Icon gaps |
+| `2` | 0.5rem | 8px | **Tight spacing** (label → input) |
+| `3` | 0.75rem | 12px | Component padding |
+| `4` | 1rem | 16px | **Standard spacing** (form fields) |
+| `5` | 1.25rem | 20px | Medium spacing |
+| `6` | 1.5rem | 24px | **Section spacing** (cards) |
+| `8` | 2rem | 32px | **Large gaps** |
+| `10` | 2.5rem | 40px | Very large gaps |
+| `12` | 3rem | 48px | **Section dividers** |
+| `16` | 4rem | 64px | **Page sections** |
+| `20` | 5rem | 80px | Extra large |
+| `24` | 6rem | 96px | Huge spacing |
+
+**Bold = most commonly used**
+
+---
+
+### Container & Max Width
+
+```tsx
+// Responsive container with horizontal padding
+<div className="container mx-auto px-4">
+  Content
+</div>
+
+// Constrained width for readability
+<div className="max-w-2xl mx-auto">
+  Article content
+</div>
+```
+
+### Max Width Scale
+
+| Class | Pixels | Use Case |
+|-------|--------|----------|
+| `max-w-xs` | 320px | Tiny cards |
+| `max-w-sm` | 384px | Small cards |
+| `max-w-md` | 448px | **Forms** |
+| `max-w-lg` | 512px | **Modals** |
+| `max-w-xl` | 576px | Medium content |
+| `max-w-2xl` | 672px | **Article content** |
+| `max-w-3xl` | 768px | Documentation |
+| `max-w-4xl` | 896px | **Wide layouts** |
+| `max-w-5xl` | 1024px | Extra wide |
+| `max-w-6xl` | 1152px | Very wide |
+| `max-w-7xl` | 1280px | **Full page width** |
+
+**Bold = most commonly used**
+
+---
+
+### Spacing Guidelines
+
+#### ✅ DO
+
+```tsx
+// Use multiples of 4
+<div className="p-4 space-y-6 mb-8">Content</div>
+
+// Use gap for flex/grid
+<div className="flex gap-4">
+  <Button>Cancel</Button>
+  <Button>Save</Button>
+</div>
+
+// Use space-y for stacks
+<form className="space-y-4">
+  <Input />
+  <Input />
+</form>
+
+// Use responsive spacing
+<div className="p-4 sm:p-6 lg:p-8">
+  Responsive padding
+</div>
+```
+
+#### ❌ DON'T
+
+```tsx
+// Don't use arbitrary values
+<div className="p-[13px] mb-[17px]">Bad</div>
+
+// Don't mix methods inconsistently
+<div className="space-y-4">
+  <div className="mb-2">Inconsistent</div>
+  <div className="mb-6">Inconsistent</div>
+</div>
+
+// Don't forget responsive spacing
+<div className="p-8">Too much padding on mobile</div>
+```
+
+**See [Spacing Philosophy](./04-spacing-philosophy.md) for detailed spacing strategy.**

+
+```css
+--shadow-xs:   0 1px 3px 0px hsl(0 0% 0% / 0.05)
+--shadow-sm:   0 1px 3px 0px hsl(0 0% 0% / 0.10), 0 1px 2px -1px hsl(0 0% 0% / 0.10)
+--shadow:      0 1px 3px 0px hsl(0 0% 0% / 0.10), 0 1px 2px -1px hsl(0 0% 0% / 0.10)
+--shadow-md:   0 1px 3px 0px hsl(0 0% 0% / 0.10), 0 2px 4px -1px hsl(0 0% 0% / 0.10)
+--shadow-lg:   0 1px 3px 0px hsl(0 0% 0% / 0.10), 0 4px 6px -1px hsl(0 0% 0% / 0.10)
+--shadow-xl:   0 1px 3px 0px hsl(0 0% 0% / 0.10), 0 8px 10px -1px hsl(0 0% 0% / 0.10)
+--shadow-2xl:  0 1px 3px 0px hsl(0 0% 0% / 0.25)
+```
+

+  Modal content
+</DialogContent>
+
+// Floating notification
+<div className="fixed top-4 right-4 shadow-xl rounded-lg p-4">
+  Notification
+</div>
+```
+
+**Dark mode note**: Shadows are less visible in dark mode. Test both modes.
+
+---
+
+## Border Radius
+
+Consistent rounded corners across the application:
+
+```css
+--radius: 0.375rem;  /* 6px - base */
+
+--radius-sm: calc(var(--radius) - 4px)  /* 2px */
+--radius-md: calc(var(--radius) - 2px)  /* 4px */
+--radius-lg: var(--radius)              /* 6px */
+--radius-xl: calc(var(--radius) + 4px)  /* 10px */
+```
+

+## Grid vs Flex Decision Tree
+
+Use this flowchart to choose between Grid and Flex:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ Need equal-width columns?           │
+│ (e.g., 3 cards of same width)       │
+└──────────┬─YES──────────┬─NO────────┘
+           │              │
+           ▼              ▼
+      USE GRID      Need 2D layout?
+                    (rows + columns)
+                         │
+                    ┌────┴────┐
+                    │YES      │NO
+                    ▼         ▼
+               USE GRID   USE FLEX
+```
+
+### Quick Rules
+
+| Scenario | Solution |
+|----------|----------|
+| **Equal-width columns** | Grid (`grid grid-cols-3`) |
+| **Flexible item sizes** | Flex (`flex gap-4`) |
+| **2D layout (rows + cols)** | Grid (`grid grid-cols-2 grid-rows-3`) |
+| **1D layout (row OR col)** | Flex (`flex` or `flex flex-col`) |
+| **Card grid** | Grid (`grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3`) |
+| **Navbar items** | Flex (`flex items-center gap-4`) |
+| **Sidebar + Content** | Flex (`flex gap-6`) |
+| **Form fields** | Flex column (`flex flex-col gap-4` or `space-y-4`) |
+
+---
+
+## The 5 Essential Patterns
+
+These 5 patterns cover 80% of all layout needs. Master these first.
+
+---
+
+### 1. Page Container Pattern
+
+**Use case**: Standard page layout with readable content width
+
+```tsx
+<div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
+  <div className="max-w-4xl mx-auto space-y-6">
+    <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold">Page Title</h1>
+
+    <Card>
+      <CardHeader>
+        <CardTitle>Section Title</CardTitle>
+      </CardHeader>
+      <CardContent>
+        Page content goes here
+      </CardContent>
+    </Card>
+  </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+**Key Features:**
+- `container` - Responsive container with max-width
+- `mx-auto` - Center horizontally
+- `px-4` - Horizontal padding (mobile-friendly)
+- `py-8` - Vertical padding
+- `max-w-4xl` - Constrain content width for readability
+- `space-y-6` - Vertical spacing between children
+
+**When to use:**
+- Blog posts
+- Documentation pages
+- Settings pages
+- Any page with readable content
+
+**[See live example](/dev/layouts#page-container)**
+
+---
+
+### 2. Dashboard Grid Pattern
+
+**Use case**: Responsive card grid that adapts to screen size
+
+```tsx
+<div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
+  <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold mb-6">Dashboard</h1>
+
+  <div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-6">
+    {items.map(item => (
+      <Card key={item.id}>
+        <CardHeader>
+          <CardTitle>{item.title}</CardTitle>
+          <CardDescription>{item.description}</CardDescription>
+        </CardHeader>
+        <CardContent>
+          <p className="text-2xl font-bold">{item.value}</p>
+        </CardContent>
+      </Card>
+    ))}
+  </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+**Responsive behavior:**
+- **Mobile** (`< 768px`): 1 column
+- **Tablet** (`≥ 768px`): 2 columns
+- **Desktop** (`≥ 1024px`): 3 columns
+
+**Key Features:**
+- `grid` - Use CSS Grid
+- `grid-cols-1` - Default: 1 column (mobile-first)
+- `md:grid-cols-2` - 2 columns on tablet
+- `lg:grid-cols-3` - 3 columns on desktop
+- `gap-6` - Consistent spacing between items
+
+**When to use:**
+- Dashboards
+- Product grids
+- Image galleries
+- Card collections
+
+**[See live example](/dev/layouts#dashboard-grid)**
+
+---
+
+### 3. Form Layout Pattern
+
+**Use case**: Centered form with constrained width
+
+```tsx
+<div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
+  <Card className="max-w-md mx-auto">
+    <CardHeader>
+      <CardTitle>Login</CardTitle>
+      <CardDescription>Enter your credentials to continue</CardDescription>
+    </CardHeader>
+    <CardContent>
+      <form className="space-y-4">
+        <div className="space-y-2">
+          <Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
+          <Input id="email" type="email" placeholder="you@example.com" />
+        </div>
+
+        <div className="space-y-2">
+          <Label htmlFor="password">Password</Label>
+          <Input id="password" type="password" />
+        </div>
+
+        <Button className="w-full">Sign In</Button>
+      </form>
+    </CardContent>
+  </Card>
+</div>
+```
+
+**Key Features:**
+- `max-w-md` - Constrain form width (448px max)
+- `mx-auto` - Center the form
+- `space-y-4` - Vertical spacing between fields
+- `w-full` - Full-width button
+
+**Form width guidelines:**
+- **Short forms** (login, signup): `max-w-md` (448px)
+- **Medium forms** (profile, settings): `max-w-lg` (512px)
+- **Long forms** (checkout): `max-w-2xl` (672px)
+
+**When to use:**
+- Login/signup forms
+- Contact forms
+- Settings forms
+- Any single-column form
+
+**[See live example](/dev/layouts#form-layout)**
+
+---
+
+### 4. Sidebar Layout Pattern
+
+**Use case**: Sidebar navigation with main content area
+
+```tsx
+<div className="flex min-h-screen">
+  {/* Sidebar */}
+  <aside className="w-64 border-r bg-muted/40 p-6">
+    <nav className="space-y-2">
+      <a href="#" className="block rounded-lg px-3 py-2 text-sm hover:bg-accent">
+        Dashboard
+      </a>
+      <a href="#" className="block rounded-lg px-3 py-2 text-sm hover:bg-accent">
+        Settings
+      </a>
+    </nav>
+  </aside>
+
+  {/* Main Content */}
+  <main className="flex-1 p-6">
+    <div className="max-w-4xl mx-auto">
+      <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold mb-6">Page Title</h1>
+      {/* Content */}
+    </div>
+  </main>
+</div>
+```
+
+**Key Features:**
+- `flex` - Horizontal layout
+- `w-64` - Fixed sidebar width (256px)
+- `flex-1` - Main content takes remaining space
+- `min-h-screen` - Full viewport height
+- `border-r` - Visual separator
+
+**Responsive strategy:**
+
+```tsx
+// Mobile: Collapsible sidebar
+<div className="flex min-h-screen">
+  {/* Sidebar - hidden on mobile */}
+  <aside className="hidden lg:block w-64 border-r p-6">
+    {/* Sidebar content */}
+  </aside>
+
+  {/* Main content - full width on mobile */}
+  <main className="flex-1 p-4 lg:p-6">
+    {/* Content */}
+  </main>
+</div>
+
+// Add mobile menu button
+<Button size="icon" className="lg:hidden">
+  <Menu className="h-6 w-6" />
+</Button>
+```
+
+**When to use:**
+- Admin dashboards
+- Settings pages
+- Documentation sites
+- Apps with persistent navigation
+
+**[See live example](/dev/layouts#sidebar-layout)**
+
+---
+
+### 5. Centered Content Pattern
+
+**Use case**: Single-column content with optimal reading width
+
+```tsx
+<div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
+  <article className="max-w-2xl mx-auto">
+    <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold mb-4">Article Title</h1>
+    <p className="text-muted-foreground mb-8">Published on Nov 2, 2025</p>
+
+    <div className="prose prose-lg">
+      <p>Article content with optimal line length for reading...</p>
+      <p>More content...</p>
+    </div>
+  </article>
+</div>
+```
+
+**Key Features:**
+- `max-w-2xl` - Optimal reading width (672px)
+- `mx-auto` - Center content
+- `prose` - Typography styles (if using @tailwindcss/typography)
+
+**Width recommendations:**
+- **Articles/Blogs**: `max-w-2xl` (672px)
+- **Documentation**: `max-w-3xl` (768px)
+- **Landing pages**: `max-w-4xl` (896px) or wider
+- **Forms**: `max-w-md` (448px)
+
+**When to use:**
+- Blog posts
+- Articles

+- Long-form content
+
+**[See live example](/dev/layouts#centered-content)**
+
+---
+
+## Responsive Strategies
+
+### Mobile-First Approach
+
+Always start with mobile layout, then enhance for larger screens:
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ CORRECT - Mobile first

+### Breakpoints
+
+| Breakpoint | Min Width | Typical Use |
+|------------|-----------|-------------|
+| `sm:` | 640px | Large phones, small tablets |
+| `md:` | 768px | Tablets |
+| `lg:` | 1024px | Laptops, desktops |
+| `xl:` | 1280px | Large desktops |
+| `2xl:` | 1536px | Extra large screens |
+
+### Responsive Grid Columns
+
+```tsx
+// 1→2→3→4 progression (common)
+grid-cols-1 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 xl:grid-cols-4
+
+// 1→2→3 progression (most common)
+grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3
+
+// 1→2 progression (simple)
+grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2
+
+// 1→3 progression (skip 2)
+grid-cols-1 lg:grid-cols-3
+```
+
+### Responsive Text
+
+```tsx
+// Heading sizes
+<h1 className="
+  text-2xl sm:text-3xl lg:text-4xl
+  font-bold
+">
+  Responsive Title
+</h1>
+
+// Body text (usually doesn't need responsive sizes)
+<p className="text-base">
+  Body text stays consistent
+</p>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+### ❌ Mistake 1: Using Margins Instead of Gap
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ WRONG - Children have margins
+<div className="flex">
+  <div className="mr-4">Item 1</div>
+  <div className="mr-4">Item 2</div>
+  <div>Item 3</div>  {/* Last one has no margin */}
+</div>
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - Parent controls spacing
+<div className="flex gap-4">
+  <div>Item 1</div>
+  <div>Item 2</div>
+  <div>Item 3</div>
+</div>
+```
+
+### ❌ Mistake 2: Fixed Widths Instead of Responsive
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ WRONG - Fixed width, not responsive
+<div className="w-[800px]">
+  Content
+</div>
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - Responsive width
+<div className="w-full max-w-4xl mx-auto px-4">
+  Content
+</div>
+```
+
+### ❌ Mistake 3: Not Using Container
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ WRONG - Content touches edges on large screens
+<div className="px-4">
+  Content spans full width on 4K screens
+</div>
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - Container constrains width
+<div className="container mx-auto px-4">
+  Content has maximum width
+</div>
+```
+
+### ❌ Mistake 4: Desktop-First Responsive
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ WRONG - Desktop first
+<div className="p-8 lg:p-6 md:p-4">
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - Mobile first
+<div className="p-4 md:p-6 lg:p-8">
+```
+
+### ❌ Mistake 5: Using Flex for Equal Columns
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ WRONG - Flex doesn't guarantee equal widths
+<div className="flex gap-4">
+  <div className="flex-1">Col 1</div>
+  <div className="flex-1">Col 2</div>
+  <div className="flex-1">Col 3</div>
+</div>
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - Grid ensures equal widths
+<div className="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4">
+  <div>Col 1</div>
+  <div>Col 2</div>
+  <div>Col 3</div>
+</div>
+```
+
+**[See before/after examples](/dev/layouts)**
+
+---
+
+## Advanced Patterns
+
+### Asymmetric Grid
+
+```tsx
+// 2/3 - 1/3 split
+<div className="grid grid-cols-3 gap-6">
+  <div className="col-span-2">
+    Main content (2/3 width)
+  </div>
+  <div className="col-span-1">
+    Sidebar (1/3 width)
+  </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Auto-fit Grid (Flexible columns)
+
+```tsx
+// Columns adjust based on available space
+<div className="grid grid-cols-[repeat(auto-fit,minmax(300px,1fr))] gap-6">
+  <Card>Item 1</Card>
+  <Card>Item 2</Card>
+  <Card>Item 3</Card>
+  {/* Adds as many columns as fit */}
+</div>
+```
+
+### Sticky Sidebar
+
+```tsx
+<div className="flex gap-6">
+  <aside className="sticky top-6 h-fit w-64">
+    {/* Stays in view while scrolling */}
+  </aside>
+  <main className="flex-1">
+    {/* Scrollable content */}
+  </main>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Full-height Layout
+
+```tsx
+<div className="flex flex-col min-h-screen">
+  <header className="h-16 border-b">Header</header>
+  <main className="flex-1">Flexible content</main>
+  <footer className="h-16 border-t">Footer</footer>
+</div>
+```
+

+
+## Layout Checklist
+
+Before implementing a layout, ask:
+
+- [ ] **Responsive?** Does it work on mobile, tablet, desktop?
+- [ ] **Container?** Is content constrained on large screens?
+- [ ] **Spacing?** Using `gap` or `space-y`, not margins on children?
+- [ ] **Mobile-first?** Starting with mobile layout?
+- [ ] **Semantic?** Using appropriate HTML tags (main, aside, nav)?
+- [ ] **Accessible?** Proper heading hierarchy, skip links?

+
+## The Golden Rules
+
+These 5 rules eliminate 90% of spacing inconsistencies:
+
+### Rule 1: Parent Controls Children
+**Children don't add their own margins. The parent controls spacing between siblings.**
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ CORRECT - Parent controls spacing
+<div className="space-y-4">
+  <Card>Item 1</Card>
+  <Card>Item 2</Card>
+  <Card>Item 3</Card>
+</div>
+
+// ❌ WRONG - Children add margins
+<div>
+  <Card className="mb-4">Item 1</Card>
+  <Card className="mb-4">Item 2</Card>
+  <Card>Item 3</Card>  {/* Inconsistent: last one has no margin */}
+</div>
+```
+
+**Why this matters:**
+- Eliminates "last child" edge cases
+- Makes components reusable (they work in any context)
+- Changes propagate from one place (parent)
+- Prevents margin collapsing bugs
+
+---
+
+### Rule 2: Use Gap for Siblings
+**For flex and grid layouts, use `gap-*` to space siblings.**
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ CORRECT - Gap for flex/grid
+<div className="flex gap-4">
+  <Button>Cancel</Button>
+  <Button>Save</Button>
+</div>
+
+<div className="grid grid-cols-3 gap-6">
+  <Card>1</Card>
+  <Card>2</Card>
+  <Card>3</Card>
+</div>
+
+// ❌ WRONG - Children with margins
+<div className="flex">
+  <Button className="mr-4">Cancel</Button>
+  <Button>Save</Button>
+</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Rule 3: Use Padding for Internal Spacing
+**Padding is for spacing _inside_ a component, between the border and content.**
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ CORRECT - Padding for internal spacing
+<Card className="p-6">
+  <CardTitle>Title</CardTitle>
+  <CardContent>Content</CardContent>
+</Card>
+
+// ❌ WRONG - Using margin for internal spacing
+<Card>
+  <CardTitle className="m-6">Title</CardTitle>
+</Card>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Rule 4: Use space-y for Vertical Stacks
+**For vertical stacks (not flex/grid), use `space-y-*` utility.**
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ CORRECT - space-y for stacks
+<form className="space-y-4">
+  <Input />
+  <Input />
+  <Button />
+</form>
+
+// ❌ WRONG - Children with margins
+<form>
+  <Input className="mb-4" />
+  <Input className="mb-4" />
+  <Button />
+</form>
+```
+
+**How space-y works:**
+```css
+/* space-y-4 applies margin-top to all children except first */
+.space-y-4 > * + * {
+  margin-top: 1rem; /* 16px */
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Rule 5: Margins Only for Exceptions
+**Use margin only when a specific child needs different spacing from its siblings.**
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ CORRECT - Margin for exception
+<div className="space-y-4">
+  <Card>Normal spacing</Card>
+  <Card>Normal spacing</Card>
+  <Card className="mt-8">Extra spacing above this one</Card>
+  <Card>Normal spacing</Card>
+</div>
+
+// Use case: Visually group related items
+<div className="space-y-4">
+  <h2>Section 1</h2>
+  <p>Content</p>
+  <h2 className="mt-12">Section 2</h2>  {/* Extra margin to separate sections */}
+  <p>Content</p>
+</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Parent Controls Children Strategy
+
+### The Problem with Child-Controlled Spacing
+
+When children control their own margins:
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ ANTI-PATTERN
+function TodoItem({ className }: { className?: string }) {
+  return <div className={cn("mb-4", className)}>Todo</div>;
+}
+
+// Usage
+<div>
+  <TodoItem />  {/* Has mb-4 */}
+  <TodoItem />  {/* Has mb-4 */}
+  <TodoItem />  {/* Has mb-4 - unwanted margin at bottom! */}
+</div>
+```
+
+**Problems:**
+1. ❌ Last item has unwanted margin
+2. ❌ Can't change spacing without modifying component
+3. ❌ Margin collapsing creates unpredictable spacing
+4. ❌ Component not reusable in different contexts
+
+---
+
+### The Solution: Parent-Controlled Spacing
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ CORRECT PATTERN
+function TodoItem({ className }: { className?: string }) {
+  return <div className={className}>Todo</div>;  // No margin!
+}
+
+// Parent controls spacing
+<div className="space-y-4">
+  <TodoItem />
+  <TodoItem />
+  <TodoItem />  {/* No unwanted margin */}
+</div>
+
+// Different context, different spacing
+<div className="space-y-2">
+  <TodoItem />
+  <TodoItem />
+</div>
+
+// Another context, flex layout
+<div className="flex gap-6">
+  <TodoItem />
+  <TodoItem />
+</div>
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+1. ✅ No edge cases (last child, first child, only child)
+2. ✅ Spacing controlled in one place
+3. ✅ Component works in any layout context
+4. ✅ No margin collapsing surprises
+5. ✅ Easier to maintain and modify
+
+---
+
+## Decision Tree: Margin vs Padding vs Gap
+
+Use this flowchart to choose the right spacing method:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ What are you spacing?                       │
+└─────────────┬───────────────────────────────┘
+              │
+       ┌──────┴──────┐
+       │             │
+       ▼             ▼
+   Siblings?    Inside a component?
+       │             │
+       │             └──> USE PADDING
+       │                  className="p-4"
+       │
+       ├──> Is parent using flex or grid?
+       │    │
+       │    ├─YES──> USE GAP
+       │    │        className="flex gap-4"
+       │    │        className="grid gap-6"
+       │    │
+       │    └─NO───> USE SPACE-Y or SPACE-X
+       │             className="space-y-4"
+       │             className="space-x-2"
+       │
+       └──> Exception case?
+            (One child needs different spacing)
+            │
+            └──> USE MARGIN
+                 className="mt-8"
+```
+

+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Form Fields (Vertical Stack)
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ CORRECT
+<form className="space-y-4">
+  <div className="space-y-2">
+    <Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
+    <Input id="email" />
+  </div>
+
+  <div className="space-y-2">
+    <Label htmlFor="password">Password</Label>
+    <Input id="password" />
+  </div>
+
+  <Button type="submit">Submit</Button>
+</form>
+```
+
+**Spacing breakdown:**
+- `space-y-4` on form: 16px between field groups
+- `space-y-2` on field group: 8px between label and input
+- No margins on children
+
+---
+
+### Pattern 2: Button Group (Horizontal Flex)
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ CORRECT
+<div className="flex gap-4">
+  <Button variant="outline">Cancel</Button>
+  <Button>Save</Button>
+</div>
+
+// Responsive: stack on mobile, row on desktop
+<div className="flex flex-col sm:flex-row gap-4">
+  <Button variant="outline">Cancel</Button>
+  <Button>Save</Button>
+</div>
+```
+
+**Why gap over space-x:**
+- Works with `flex-wrap`
+- Works with `flex-col` (changes direction)
+- Consistent spacing in all directions
+
+---
+
+### Pattern 3: Card Grid
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ CORRECT
+<div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-6">
+  <Card>Item 1</Card>
+  <Card>Item 2</Card>
+  <Card>Item 3</Card>
+</div>
+```
+
+**Why gap:**
+- Consistent spacing between rows and columns
+- Works with responsive grid changes
+- No edge cases (first row, last column, etc.)
+
+---
+
+### Pattern 4: Card Internal Spacing
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ CORRECT
+<Card className="p-6">
+  <CardHeader>
+    <CardTitle>Title</CardTitle>
+    <CardDescription>Description</CardDescription>
+  </CardHeader>
+  <CardContent className="space-y-4">
+    <p>Paragraph 1</p>
+    <p>Paragraph 2</p>
+  </CardContent>
+  <CardFooter className="pt-4">
+    <Button>Action</Button>
+  </CardFooter>
+</Card>
+```
+
+**Spacing breakdown:**
+- `p-6` on Card: 24px internal padding
+- `space-y-4` on CardContent: 16px between paragraphs
+- `pt-4` on CardFooter: Additional top padding for visual separation
+
+---
+
+### Pattern 5: Page Layout
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ CORRECT
+<div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
+  <div className="max-w-4xl mx-auto space-y-6">
+    <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold">Page Title</h1>
+
+    <Card>
+      <CardHeader>
+        <CardTitle>Section 1</CardTitle>
+      </CardHeader>
+      <CardContent>Content</CardContent>
+    </Card>
+
+    <Card>
+      <CardHeader>
+        <CardTitle>Section 2</CardTitle>
+      </CardHeader>
+      <CardContent>Content</CardContent>
+    </Card>
+  </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+**Spacing breakdown:**
+- `px-4`: Horizontal padding (prevents edge touching)
+- `py-8`: Vertical padding (top and bottom spacing)
+- `space-y-6`: 24px between sections
+- No margins on children
+
+---
+
+## Before/After Examples
+
+### Example 1: Button Group
+
+#### ❌ Before (Child-Controlled)
+```tsx
+function ActionButton({ children, className }: Props) {
+  return <Button className={cn("mr-4", className)}>{children}</Button>;
+}
+
+// Usage
+<div className="flex">
+  <ActionButton>Cancel</ActionButton>
+  <ActionButton>Save</ActionButton>
+  <ActionButton>Delete</ActionButton>  {/* Unwanted mr-4 */}
+</div>
+```
+
+**Problems:**
+- Last button has unwanted margin
+- Can't change spacing without modifying component
+- Hard to use in vertical layout
+
+#### ✅ After (Parent-Controlled)
+```tsx
+function ActionButton({ children, className }: Props) {
+  return <Button className={className}>{children}</Button>;
+}
+
+// Usage
+<div className="flex gap-4">
+  <ActionButton>Cancel</ActionButton>
+  <ActionButton>Save</ActionButton>
+  <ActionButton>Delete</ActionButton>
+</div>
+
+// Different context: vertical
+<div className="flex flex-col gap-2">
+  <ActionButton>Cancel</ActionButton>
+  <ActionButton>Save</ActionButton>
+</div>
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- No edge cases
+- Reusable in any layout
+- Easy to change spacing
+
+---
+
+### Example 2: List Items
+
+#### ❌ Before (Child-Controlled)
+```tsx
+function ListItem({ title, description }: Props) {
+  return (
+    <div className="mb-6 p-4 border rounded">
+      <h3 className="mb-2">{title}</h3>
+      <p>{description}</p>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+
+<div>
+  <ListItem title="Item 1" description="..." />
+  <ListItem title="Item 2" description="..." />
+  <ListItem title="Item 3" description="..." />  {/* Unwanted mb-6 */}
+</div>
+```
+
+**Problems:**
+- Last item has unwanted bottom margin
+- Can't change list spacing without modifying component
+- Internal `mb-2` hard to override
+
+#### ✅ After (Parent-Controlled)
+```tsx
+function ListItem({ title, description }: Props) {
+  return (
+    <div className="p-4 border rounded">
+      <div className="space-y-2">
+        <h3 className="font-semibold">{title}</h3>
+        <p>{description}</p>
+      </div>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+
+<div className="space-y-6">
+  <ListItem title="Item 1" description="..." />
+  <ListItem title="Item 2" description="..." />
+  <ListItem title="Item 3" description="..." />
+</div>
+
+// Different context: compact spacing
+<div className="space-y-2">
+  <ListItem title="Item 1" description="..." />
+  <ListItem title="Item 2" description="..." />
+</div>
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- No unwanted margins
+- Internal spacing controlled by `space-y-2`
+- Reusable with different spacings
+
+---
+
+### Example 3: Form Fields
+
+#### ❌ Before (Mixed Strategy)
+```tsx
+<form>
+  <div className="mb-4">
+    <Label htmlFor="name">Name</Label>
+    <Input id="name" className="mt-2" />
+  </div>
+
+  <div className="mb-4">
+    <Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
+    <Input id="email" className="mt-2" />
+  </div>
+
+  <Button type="submit" className="mt-6">Submit</Button>
+</form>
+```
+
+**Problems:**
+- Spacing scattered across children
+- Hard to change consistently
+- Have to remember `mt-6` for button
+
+#### ✅ After (Parent-Controlled)
+```tsx
+<form className="space-y-4">
+  <div className="space-y-2">
+    <Label htmlFor="name">Name</Label>
+    <Input id="name" />
+  </div>
+
+  <div className="space-y-2">
+    <Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
+    <Input id="email" />
+  </div>
+
+  <Button type="submit" className="mt-2">Submit</Button>
+</form>
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Spacing controlled in 2 places: form (`space-y-4`) and field groups (`space-y-2`)
+- Easy to change all field spacing at once
+- Consistent and predictable
+
+---
+
+## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
+
+### Anti-Pattern 1: Last Child Special Case
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ WRONG
+{items.map((item, index) => (
+  <Card key={item.id} className={index < items.length - 1 ? "mb-4" : ""}>
+    {item.name}
+  </Card>
+))}
+
+// ✅ CORRECT
+<div className="space-y-4">
+  {items.map(item => (
+    <Card key={item.id}>{item.name}</Card>
+  ))}
+</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Anti-Pattern 2: Negative Margins to Fix Spacing
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ WRONG - Using negative margin to fix unwanted spacing
+<div className="-mt-4">  {/* Canceling out previous margin */}
+  <Card>Content</Card>
+</div>
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - Parent controls spacing
+<div className="space-y-4">
+  <Card>Content</Card>
+</div>
+```
+
+**Why negative margins are bad:**
+- Indicates broken spacing strategy
+- Hard to maintain
+- Creates coupling between components
+
+---
+
+### Anti-Pattern 3: Mixing Gap and Child Margins
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ WRONG - Gap + child margins = unpredictable spacing
+<div className="flex gap-4">
+  <Button className="mr-2">Cancel</Button>  {/* gap + mr-2 = 24px */}
+  <Button>Save</Button>
+</div>
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - Only gap
+<div className="flex gap-4">
+  <Button>Cancel</Button>
+  <Button>Save</Button>
+</div>
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - Exception case
+<div className="flex gap-4">
+  <Button>Cancel</Button>
+  <Button className="mr-8">Save</Button>  {/* Intentional extra space */}
+  <Button>Delete</Button>
+</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Anti-Pattern 4: Using Margins for Layout
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ WRONG - Using margins to create layout
+<div>
+  <div className="ml-64">  {/* Pushing content for sidebar */}
+    Content
+  </div>
+</div>
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - Use proper layout (flex/grid)
+<div className="flex gap-6">
+  <aside className="w-64">Sidebar</aside>
+  <main className="flex-1">Content</main>
+</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### Spacing Method Cheat Sheet
+
+| Use Case | Method | Example |
+|----------|--------|---------|
+| **Flex siblings** | `gap-*` | `flex gap-4` |
+| **Grid siblings** | `gap-*` | `grid gap-6` |
+| **Vertical stack** | `space-y-*` | `space-y-4` |
+| **Horizontal stack** | `space-x-*` | `space-x-2` |
+| **Inside component** | `p-*` | `p-6` |
+| **One child exception** | `m-*` | `mt-8` |
+
+### Common Spacing Values
+
+| Class | Pixels | Usage |
+|-------|--------|-------|
+| `gap-2` or `space-y-2` | 8px | Tight (label + input) |
+| `gap-4` or `space-y-4` | 16px | Standard (form fields) |
+| `gap-6` or `space-y-6` | 24px | Sections (cards) |
+| `gap-8` or `space-y-8` | 32px | Large gaps |
+| `p-4` | 16px | Standard padding |
+| `p-6` | 24px | Card padding |
+| `px-4 py-8` | 16px / 32px | Page padding |
+
+### Decision Flowchart (Simplified)
+
+```
+Need spacing?
+│
+├─ Between siblings?
+│  ├─ Flex/Grid parent? → gap-*
+│  └─ Regular parent? → space-y-* or space-x-*
+│
+├─ Inside component? → p-*
+│
+└─ Exception case? → m-* (sparingly)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices Summary
+
+### Do ✅
+
+1. **Use parent-controlled spacing** (`gap`, `space-y`, `space-x`)
+2. **Use `gap-*` for flex and grid** layouts
+3. **Use `space-y-*` for vertical stacks** (forms, content)
+4. **Use `p-*` for internal spacing** (padding inside components)
+5. **Use margin only for exceptions** (mt-8 to separate sections)
+6. **Let components be context-agnostic** (no built-in margins)
+
+### Don't ❌
+
+1. ❌ Add margins to reusable components
+2. ❌ Use last-child selectors or conditional margins
+3. ❌ Mix gap with child margins
+4. ❌ Use negative margins to fix spacing
+5. ❌ Use margins for layout (use flex/grid)
+6. ❌ Hard-code spacing in child components
+
+---
+
+## Spacing Checklist
+
+Before implementing spacing, verify:
+
+- [ ] **Parent controls children?** Using gap or space-y/x?
+- [ ] **No child margins?** Components don't have mb-* or mr-*?
+- [ ] **Consistent method?** Not mixing gap + child margins?
+- [ ] **Reusable components?** Work in different contexts?
+- [ ] **No edge cases?** No last-child or first-child special handling?
+- [ ] **Semantic spacing?** Using design system scale (4, 8, 12, 16...)?
+
+---

+
+## When to Create vs Compose
+
+### The Golden Rule
+
+**80% of the time, you should COMPOSE existing shadcn/ui components.**
+
+Only create custom components when:
+1. ✅ You're reusing the same composition 3+ times
+2. ✅ The pattern has complex business logic
+3. ✅ You need variants beyond what shadcn/ui provides
+
+---
+
+### Decision Tree
+
+```
+Do you need a UI element?
+│
+├─ Does shadcn/ui have this component?
+│  │
+│  ├─YES─> Use it directly
+│  │       <Button>Action</Button>
+│  │
+│  └─NO──> Can you compose multiple shadcn/ui components?
+│          │
+│          ├─YES─> Compose them inline first
+│          │       <Card>
+│          │         <CardHeader>...</CardHeader>
+│          │       </Card>
+│          │
+│          └─NO──> Are you using this composition 3+ times?
+│                  │
+│                  ├─NO──> Keep composing inline
+│                  │
+│                  └─YES─> Create a custom component
+│                          function MyComponent() { ... }
+```
+
+---
+
+### ✅ GOOD: Compose First
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ CORRECT - Compose inline
+<Card>
+  <CardHeader>
+    <CardTitle>{title}</CardTitle>
+    <CardDescription>{description}</CardDescription>
+  </CardHeader>
+  <CardContent>
+    <p>{content}</p>
+  </CardContent>
+  <CardFooter>
+    <Button onClick={onAction}>{actionLabel}</Button>
+  </CardFooter>
+</Card>
+```
+
+**Why this is good:**
+- Simple and direct
+- Easy to customize per use case
+- No abstraction overhead
+- Clear what's happening
+
+---
+
+### ❌ BAD: Over-Abstracting Too Soon
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ WRONG - Premature abstraction
+function ContentCard({ title, description, content, actionLabel, onAction }: Props) {
+  return (
+    <Card>
+      <CardHeader>
+        <CardTitle>{title}</CardTitle>
+        <CardDescription>{description}</CardDescription>
+      </CardHeader>
+      <CardContent>
+        <p>{content}</p>
+      </CardContent>
+      <CardFooter>
+        <Button onClick={onAction}>{actionLabel}</Button>
+      </CardFooter>
+    </Card>
+  );
+}
+
+// Used once... why did we create this?
+<ContentCard title="..." description="..." content="..." />
+```
+
+**Problems:**
+- ❌ Created before knowing if pattern is reused
+- ❌ Inflexible (what if we need 2 buttons?)
+- ❌ Unclear what it renders (abstraction hides structure)
+- ❌ Harder to customize
+
+---
+
+### ✅ GOOD: Extract After 3+ Uses
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ CORRECT - After seeing pattern used 3 times, extract
+function DashboardMetricCard({
+  title,
+  value,
+  change,
+  icon: Icon,
+}: DashboardMetricCardProps) {
+  return (
+    <Card>
+      <CardHeader className="flex flex-row items-center justify-between space-y-0 pb-2">
+        <CardTitle className="text-sm font-medium">{title}</CardTitle>
+        {Icon && <Icon className="h-4 w-4 text-muted-foreground" />}
+      </CardHeader>
+      <CardContent>
+        <div className="text-2xl font-bold">{value}</div>
+        {change && (
+          <p className="text-xs text-muted-foreground">
+            {change > 0 ? '+' : ''}{change}% from last month
+          </p>
+        )}
+      </CardContent>
+    </Card>
+  );
+}
+
+// Now used in 5+ places
+<DashboardMetricCard title="Total Revenue" value="$45,231.89" change={20.1} />
+<DashboardMetricCard title="Subscriptions" value="+2350" change={12.5} />
+```
+
+**Why this works:**
+- ✅ Pattern validated (used 3+ times)
+- ✅ Specific purpose (dashboard metrics)
+- ✅ Consistent structure across uses
+- ✅ Easy to update all instances
+
+---
+
+## Component Templates
+
+### Template 1: Basic Custom Component
+
+**Use case**: Simple component with optional className override
+
+```tsx
+import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';
+
+interface MyComponentProps {
+  className?: string;
+  children: React.ReactNode;
+}
+
+export function MyComponent({ className, children }: MyComponentProps) {
+  return (
+    <div className={cn(
+      "base-classes-here",  // Base styles
+      className              // Allow overrides
+    )}>
+      {children}
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+
+// Usage
+<MyComponent className="custom-overrides">
+  Content
+</MyComponent>
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+- Always accept `className` prop
+- Use `cn()` utility for merging
+- Base classes first, overrides last
+
+---
+
+### Template 2: Component with Variants (CVA)
+
+**Use case**: Component needs multiple visual variants
+
+```tsx
+import { cva, type VariantProps } from 'class-variance-authority';
+import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';
+
+const componentVariants = cva(
+  // Base classes (always applied)
+  "inline-flex items-center justify-center rounded-lg font-medium transition-colors",
+  {
+    variants: {
+      variant: {
+        default: "bg-primary text-primary-foreground hover:bg-primary/90",
+        secondary: "bg-secondary text-secondary-foreground hover:bg-secondary/80",
+        outline: "border border-input bg-background hover:bg-accent hover:text-accent-foreground",
+        ghost: "hover:bg-accent hover:text-accent-foreground",
+      },
+      size: {
+        sm: "h-8 px-3 text-xs",
+        default: "h-10 px-4 text-sm",
+        lg: "h-12 px-6 text-base",
+      },
+    },
+    defaultVariants: {
+      variant: "default",
+      size: "default",
+    },
+  }
+);
+
+interface MyComponentProps
+  extends React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>,
+    VariantProps<typeof componentVariants> {
+  // Additional props here
+}
+
+export function MyComponent({
+  variant,
+  size,
+  className,
+  ...props
+}: MyComponentProps) {
+  return (
+    <div
+      className={cn(componentVariants({ variant, size, className }))}
+      {...props}
+    />
+  );
+}
+
+// Usage
+<MyComponent variant="outline" size="lg">Content</MyComponent>
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+- Use CVA for complex variant logic
+- Always provide `defaultVariants`
+- Extend `React.HTMLAttributes` for standard HTML props
+- Spread `...props` to pass through additional attributes
+
+---
+
+### Template 3: Composition Component
+
+**Use case**: Wrap multiple shadcn/ui components with consistent structure
+
+```tsx
+import { Card, CardHeader, CardTitle, CardContent } from '@/components/ui/card';
+import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';
+
+interface StatCardProps {
+  title: string;
+  value: string | number;
+  description?: string;
+  icon?: React.ReactNode;
+  className?: string;
+}
+
+export function StatCard({
+  title,
+  value,
+  description,
+  icon,
+  className,
+}: StatCardProps) {
+  return (
+    <Card className={className}>
+      <CardHeader className="flex flex-row items-center justify-between space-y-0 pb-2">
+        <CardTitle className="text-sm font-medium">{title}</CardTitle>
+        {icon}
+      </CardHeader>
+      <CardContent>
+        <div className="text-2xl font-bold">{value}</div>
+        {description && (
+          <p className="text-xs text-muted-foreground">{description}</p>
+        )}
+      </CardContent>
+    </Card>
+  );
+}
+
+// Usage
+<StatCard
+  title="Total Users"
+  value="1,234"
+  description="+12% from last month"
+  icon={<Users className="h-4 w-4 text-muted-foreground" />}
+/>
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+- Compose from shadcn/ui primitives
+- Keep structure consistent
+- Optional props with `?`
+- Descriptive prop names
+
+---
+
+### Template 4: Controlled Component
+
+**Use case**: Component manages state internally but can be controlled
+
+```tsx
+import { useState } from 'react';
+
+interface ToggleProps {
+  value?: boolean;
+  onChange?: (value: boolean) => void;
+  defaultValue?: boolean;
+  children: React.ReactNode;
+}
+
+export function Toggle({
+  value: controlledValue,
+  onChange,
+  defaultValue = false,
+  children,
+}: ToggleProps) {
+  // Uncontrolled state
+  const [uncontrolledValue, setUncontrolledValue] = useState(defaultValue);
+
+  // Use controlled value if provided, otherwise use internal state
+  const value = controlledValue ?? uncontrolledValue;
+  const handleChange = (newValue: boolean) => {
+    if (onChange) {
+      onChange(newValue);
+    } else {
+      setUncontrolledValue(newValue);
+    }
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <button onClick={() => handleChange(!value)}>
+      {value ? '✓' : '○'} {children}
+    </button>
+  );
+}
+
+// Uncontrolled usage
+<Toggle defaultValue={false}>Auto-save</Toggle>
+
+// Controlled usage
+const [enabled, setEnabled] = useState(false);
+<Toggle value={enabled} onChange={setEnabled}>Auto-save</Toggle>
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+- Support both controlled and uncontrolled modes
+- Use `defaultValue` for initial uncontrolled value
+- Use `value` + `onChange` for controlled mode
+- Fallback to internal state if not controlled
+
+---
+
+## Variant Patterns (CVA)
+
+### What is CVA?
+
+**class-variance-authority** (CVA) is a utility for creating component variants with Tailwind CSS.
+
+**Why use CVA?**
+- ✅ Type-safe variant props
+- ✅ Compound variants (combinations)
+- ✅ Default variants
+- ✅ Clean, readable syntax
+
+---
+
+### Basic Variant Pattern
+
+```tsx
+import { cva } from 'class-variance-authority';
+
+const alertVariants = cva(
+  // Base classes (always applied)
+  "relative w-full rounded-lg border p-4",
+  {
+    variants: {
+      variant: {
+        default: "bg-background text-foreground",
+        destructive: "border-destructive/50 text-destructive dark:border-destructive [&>svg]:text-destructive",
+      },
+    },
+    defaultVariants: {
+      variant: "default",
+    },
+  }
+);
+
+// Usage
+<div className={alertVariants({ variant: "destructive" })}>
+  Alert content
+</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Multiple Variants
+
+```tsx
+const buttonVariants = cva(
+  "inline-flex items-center justify-center rounded-md font-medium transition-colors",
+  {
+    variants: {
+      variant: {
+        default: "bg-primary text-primary-foreground hover:bg-primary/90",
+        destructive: "bg-destructive text-destructive-foreground hover:bg-destructive/90",
+        outline: "border border-input bg-background hover:bg-accent",
+        ghost: "hover:bg-accent hover:text-accent-foreground",
+      },
+      size: {
+        sm: "h-8 px-3 text-xs",
+        default: "h-10 px-4 text-sm",
+        lg: "h-12 px-6 text-base",
+      },
+    },
+    defaultVariants: {
+      variant: "default",
+      size: "default",
+    },
+  }
+);
+
+// Usage
+<button className={buttonVariants({ variant: "outline", size: "lg" })}>
+  Large Outline Button
+</button>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Compound Variants
+
+**Use case**: Different classes when specific variant combinations are used
+
+```tsx
+const buttonVariants = cva("base-classes", {
+  variants: {
+    variant: {
+      default: "bg-primary",
+      destructive: "bg-destructive",
+    },
+    size: {
+      sm: "h-8",
+      lg: "h-12",
+    },
+  },
+  // Compound variants: specific combinations
+  compoundVariants: [
+    {
+      variant: "destructive",
+      size: "lg",
+      class: "text-lg font-bold",  // Applied when BOTH are true
+    },
+  ],
+  defaultVariants: {
+    variant: "default",
+    size: "sm",
+  },
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Prop Design
+
+### Prop Naming Conventions
+
+**DO**:
+```tsx
+// ✅ Descriptive, semantic names
+interface UserCardProps {
+  user: User;
+  onEdit: () => void;
+  isLoading: boolean;
+  showAvatar?: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+**DON'T**:
+```tsx
+// ❌ Generic, unclear names
+interface CardProps {
+  data: any;
+  onClick: () => void;
+  loading: boolean;
+  flag?: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Required vs Optional Props
+
+**Guidelines:**
+- Required: Core functionality depends on it
+- Optional: Nice-to-have, has sensible default
+
+```tsx
+interface AlertProps {
+  // Required: Core to component
+  children: React.ReactNode;
+
+  // Optional: Has default variant
+  variant?: 'default' | 'destructive';
+
+  // Optional: Component works without it
+  onClose?: () => void;
+  icon?: React.ReactNode;
+
+  // Optional: Standard override
+  className?: string;
+}
+
+export function Alert({
+  children,
+  variant = 'default',  // Default for optional prop
+  onClose,
+  icon,
+  className,
+}: AlertProps) {
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Prop Type Patterns
+
+**Enum props** (limited options):
+```tsx
+interface ButtonProps {
+  variant: 'default' | 'destructive' | 'outline';
+  size: 'sm' | 'default' | 'lg';
+}
+```
+
+**Boolean flags**:
+```tsx
+interface CardProps {
+  isLoading?: boolean;
+  isDisabled?: boolean;
+  showBorder?: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+**Callback props**:
+```tsx
+interface FormProps {
+  onSubmit: (data: FormData) => void;
+  onCancel?: () => void;
+  onChange?: (field: string, value: any) => void;
+}
+```
+
+**Render props** (advanced customization):
+```tsx
+interface ListProps<T> {
+  items: T[];
+  renderItem: (item: T, index: number) => React.ReactNode;
+  renderEmpty?: () => React.ReactNode;
+}
+
+// Usage
+<List
+  items={users}
+  renderItem={(user, i) => <UserCard key={i} user={user} />}
+  renderEmpty={() => <EmptyState />}
+/>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+Before shipping a custom component, verify:
+
+### Visual Testing
+- [ ] **Light mode** - Component looks correct
+- [ ] **Dark mode** - Component looks correct (toggle theme)
+- [ ] **All variants** - Test each variant works
+- [ ] **Responsive** - Mobile, tablet, desktop sizes
+- [ ] **Loading state** - Shows loading correctly (if applicable)
+- [ ] **Error state** - Shows errors correctly (if applicable)
+- [ ] **Empty state** - Handles no data gracefully
+
+### Accessibility Testing
+- [ ] **Keyboard navigation** - Can be focused and activated with Tab/Enter
+- [ ] **Focus indicators** - Visible focus ring (`:focus-visible`)
+- [ ] **Screen reader** - ARIA labels and roles present
+- [ ] **Color contrast** - 4.5:1 for text, 3:1 for UI (use contrast checker)
+- [ ] **Semantic HTML** - Using correct HTML elements (button, nav, etc.)
+
+### Functional Testing
+- [ ] **Props work** - All props apply correctly
+- [ ] **className override** - Can override styles with className prop
+- [ ] **Controlled/uncontrolled** - Both modes work (if applicable)
+- [ ] **Event handlers** - onClick, onChange, etc. fire correctly
+- [ ] **TypeScript** - No type errors, props autocomplete
+
+### Code Quality
+- [ ] **No console errors** - Check browser console
+- [ ] **No warnings** - React warnings, a11y warnings
+- [ ] **Performance** - No unnecessary re-renders
+- [ ] **Documentation** - JSDoc comments for complex props
+
+---
+
+## Real-World Examples
+
+### Example 1: Stat Card
+
+**Problem**: Dashboard shows 8 metric cards with same structure.
+
+**Solution**: Extract composition after 3rd use.
+
+```tsx
+import { Card, CardHeader, CardTitle, CardContent } from '@/components/ui/card';
+import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';
+import { LucideIcon } from 'lucide-react';
+
+interface StatCardProps {
+  title: string;
+  value: string | number;
+  change?: number;
+  icon?: LucideIcon;
+  className?: string;
+}
+
+export function StatCard({
+  title,
+  value,
+  change,
+  icon: Icon,
+  className,
+}: StatCardProps) {
+  return (
+    <Card className={className}>
+      <CardHeader className="flex flex-row items-center justify-between space-y-0 pb-2">
+        <CardTitle className="text-sm font-medium">{title}</CardTitle>
+        {Icon && <Icon className="h-4 w-4 text-muted-foreground" />}
+      </CardHeader>
+      <CardContent>
+        <div className="text-2xl font-bold">{value}</div>
+        {change !== undefined && (
+          <p className={cn(
+            "text-xs",
+            change >= 0 ? "text-green-600" : "text-destructive"
+          )}>
+            {change >= 0 ? '+' : ''}{change}% from last month
+          </p>
+        )}
+      </CardContent>
+    </Card>
+  );
+}
+
+// Usage
+<div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-4 gap-6">
+  <StatCard title="Total Revenue" value="$45,231.89" change={20.1} icon={DollarSign} />
+  <StatCard title="Subscriptions" value="+2350" change={12.5} icon={Users} />
+  <StatCard title="Sales" value="+12,234" change={19} icon={CreditCard} />
+  <StatCard title="Active Now" value="+573" change={-2.1} icon={Activity} />
+</div>
+```
+
+**Why this works:**
+- Specific purpose (dashboard metrics)
+- Reused 8+ times
+- Consistent structure
+- Easy to update all instances
+

+
+### Example 2: Confirmation Dialog
+
+**Problem**: Need to confirm delete actions throughout app.
+
+**Solution**: Create reusable confirmation dialog wrapper.
+
+```tsx
+import {
+  Dialog,
+  DialogContent,
+  DialogDescription,
+  DialogFooter,
+  DialogHeader,
+  DialogTitle,
+} from '@/components/ui/dialog';
+import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button';
+
+interface ConfirmDialogProps {
+  open: boolean;
+  onOpenChange: (open: boolean) => void;
+  title: string;
+  description: string;
+  confirmLabel?: string;
+  cancelLabel?: string;
+  variant?: 'default' | 'destructive';
+  onConfirm: () => void | Promise<void>;
+}
+
+export function ConfirmDialog({
+  open,
+  onOpenChange,
+  title,
+  description,
+  confirmLabel = 'Confirm',
+  cancelLabel = 'Cancel',
+  variant = 'destructive',
+  onConfirm,
+}: ConfirmDialogProps) {
+  const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false);
+
+  const handleConfirm = async () => {
+    setIsLoading(true);
+    try {
+      await onConfirm();
+      onOpenChange(false);
+    } finally {
+      setIsLoading(false);
+    }
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <Dialog open={open} onOpenChange={onOpenChange}>
+      <DialogContent>
+        <DialogHeader>
+          <DialogTitle>{title}</DialogTitle>
+          <DialogDescription>{description}</DialogDescription>
+        </DialogHeader>
+        <DialogFooter>
+          <Button
+            variant="outline"
+            onClick={() => onOpenChange(false)}
+            disabled={isLoading}
+          >
+            {cancelLabel}
+          </Button>
+          <Button
+            variant={variant}
+            onClick={handleConfirm}
+            disabled={isLoading}
+          >
+            {isLoading ? 'Processing...' : confirmLabel}
+          </Button>
+        </DialogFooter>
+      </DialogContent>
+    </Dialog>
+  );
+}
+
+// Usage
+const [showDeleteDialog, setShowDeleteDialog] = useState(false);
+
+<ConfirmDialog
+  open={showDeleteDialog}
+  onOpenChange={setShowDeleteDialog}
+  title="Delete User"
+  description="Are you sure you want to delete this user? This action cannot be undone."
+  confirmLabel="Delete"
+  variant="destructive"
+  onConfirm={async () => {
+    await deleteUser(user.id);
+    toast.success('User deleted');
+  }}
+/>
+```
+
+**Why this works:**
+- Common pattern (confirmations)
+- Handles loading states automatically
+- Consistent UX across app
+- Easy to use
+
+---
+
+### Example 3: Page Header
+
+**Problem**: Every page has header with title, description, and optional action.
+
+**Solution**: Extract page header component.
+
+```tsx
+import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';
+
+interface PageHeaderProps {
+  title: string;
+  description?: string;
+  action?: React.ReactNode;
+  className?: string;
+}
+
+export function PageHeader({
+  title,
+  description,
+  action,
+  className,
+}: PageHeaderProps) {
+  return (
+    <div className={cn("flex items-center justify-between", className)}>
+      <div className="space-y-1">
+        <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold tracking-tight">{title}</h1>
+        {description && (
+          <p className="text-muted-foreground">{description}</p>
+        )}
+      </div>
+      {action && <div>{action}</div>}
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+
+// Usage
+<PageHeader
+  title="Users"
+  description="Manage system users and permissions"
+  action={
+    <Button onClick={() => router.push('/users/new')}>
+      <Plus className="mr-2 h-4 w-4" />
+      Create User
+    </Button>
+  }
+/>
+```
+

+
+## Summary: Component Creation Checklist
+
+Before creating a custom component, ask:
+
+- [ ] **Is it reused 3+ times?** If no, compose inline
+- [ ] **Does shadcn/ui have this?** If yes, use it
+- [ ] **Can I compose existing components?** If yes, do that first
+- [ ] **Does it need variants?** Use CVA
+- [ ] **Is className supported?** Always allow overrides
+- [ ] **Is it accessible?** Test keyboard, screen reader, contrast
+- [ ] **Is it documented?** Add JSDoc comments
+- [ ] **Does it follow conventions?** Match shadcn/ui patterns
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- **Practice**: Refactor inline compositions into components after 3+ uses
+- **Explore**: [Component showcase](/dev/components)
+- **Reference**: [shadcn/ui source code](https://github.com/shadcn-ui/ui/tree/main/apps/www/registry)

+
+## Form Architecture
+
+### Technology Stack
+
+- **react-hook-form** - Form state management, validation
+- **Zod** - Schema validation
+- **@hookform/resolvers** - Zod resolver for react-hook-form
+- **shadcn/ui components** - Input, Label, Button, etc.
+
+**Why this stack?**
+- ✅ Type-safe validation (TypeScript + Zod)
+- ✅ Minimal re-renders (react-hook-form)
+- ✅ Accessible by default (shadcn/ui)
+- ✅ Easy error handling
+- ✅ Built-in loading states
+
+---
+
+### Form Decision Tree
+
+```
+Need a form?
+│
+├─ Single field (search, filter)?
+│  └─> Use uncontrolled input with onChange
+│     <Input onChange={(e) => setQuery(e.target.value)} />
+│
+├─ Simple form (1-3 fields, no complex validation)?
+│  └─> Use react-hook-form without Zod
+│     const form = useForm();
+│
+└─ Complex form (4+ fields, validation, async submit)?
+   └─> Use react-hook-form + Zod
+      const form = useForm({ resolver: zodResolver(schema) });
+```
+
+---
+
+## Basic Form Pattern
+
+### Minimal Form (No Validation)
+
+```tsx
+import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form';
+import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button';
+import { Input } from '@/components/ui/input';
+import { Label } from '@/components/ui/label';
+
+interface FormData {
+  email: string;
+}
+
+export function SimpleForm() {
+  const form = useForm<FormData>();
+
+  const onSubmit = (data: FormData) => {
+    console.log(data);
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <form onSubmit={form.handleSubmit(onSubmit)} className="space-y-4">
+      <div className="space-y-2">
+        <Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
+        <Input
+          id="email"
+          type="email"
+          {...form.register('email')}
+        />
+      </div>
+
+      <Button type="submit">Submit</Button>
+    </form>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Complete Form Pattern (with Zod)
+
+```tsx
+import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form';
+import { zodResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/zod';
+import { z } from 'zod';
+import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button';
+import { Input } from '@/components/ui/input';
+import { Label } from '@/components/ui/label';
+
+// 1. Define validation schema
+const formSchema = z.object({
+  email: z.string().email('Invalid email address'),
+  password: z.string().min(8, 'Password must be at least 8 characters'),
+});
+
+// 2. Infer TypeScript type from schema
+type FormData = z.infer<typeof formSchema>;
+
+export function LoginForm() {
+  // 3. Initialize form with Zod resolver
+  const form = useForm<FormData>({
+    resolver: zodResolver(formSchema),
+    defaultValues: {
+      email: '',
+      password: '',
+    },
+  });
+
+  // 4. Submit handler (type-safe!)
+  const onSubmit = async (data: FormData) => {
+    try {
+      await loginUser(data);
+      toast.success('Logged in successfully');
+    } catch (error) {
+      toast.error('Invalid credentials');
+    }
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <form onSubmit={form.handleSubmit(onSubmit)} className="space-y-4">
+      {/* Email field */}
+      <div className="space-y-2">
+        <Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
+        <Input
+          id="email"
+          type="email"
+          {...form.register('email')}
+          aria-invalid={!!form.formState.errors.email}
+          aria-describedby={form.formState.errors.email ? 'email-error' : undefined}
+        />
+        {form.formState.errors.email && (
+          <p id="email-error" className="text-sm text-destructive">
+            {form.formState.errors.email.message}
+          </p>
+        )}
+      </div>
+
+      {/* Password field */}
+      <div className="space-y-2">
+        <Label htmlFor="password">Password</Label>
+        <Input
+          id="password"
+          type="password"
+          {...form.register('password')}
+          aria-invalid={!!form.formState.errors.password}
+          aria-describedby={form.formState.errors.password ? 'password-error' : undefined}
+        />
+        {form.formState.errors.password && (
+          <p id="password-error" className="text-sm text-destructive">
+            {form.formState.errors.password.message}
+          </p>
+        )}
+      </div>
+
+      {/* Submit button */}
+      <Button type="submit" disabled={form.formState.isSubmitting} className="w-full">
+        {form.formState.isSubmitting ? 'Signing in...' : 'Sign In'}
+      </Button>
+    </form>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+1. Define Zod schema first
+2. Infer TypeScript type with `z.infer`
+3. Use `zodResolver` in `useForm`
+4. Register fields with `{...form.register('fieldName')}`
+5. Show errors from `form.formState.errors`
+6. Disable submit during submission
+
+---
+
+## Field Patterns
+
+### Text Input
+
+```tsx
+<div className="space-y-2">
+  <Label htmlFor="name">Name</Label>
+  <Input
+    id="name"
+    {...form.register('name')}
+    aria-invalid={!!form.formState.errors.name}
+    aria-describedby={form.formState.errors.name ? 'name-error' : undefined}
+  />
+  {form.formState.errors.name && (
+    <p id="name-error" className="text-sm text-destructive">
+      {form.formState.errors.name.message}
+    </p>
+  )}
+</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Textarea
+
+```tsx
+<div className="space-y-2">
+  <Label htmlFor="description">Description</Label>
+  <Textarea
+    id="description"
+    rows={4}
+    {...form.register('description')}
+  />
+  {form.formState.errors.description && (
+    <p className="text-sm text-destructive">
+      {form.formState.errors.description.message}
+    </p>
+  )}
+</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Select
+
+```tsx
+<div className="space-y-2">
+  <Label htmlFor="role">Role</Label>
+  <Select
+    value={form.watch('role')}
+    onValueChange={(value) => form.setValue('role', value)}
+  >
+    <SelectTrigger id="role">
+      <SelectValue placeholder="Select a role" />
+    </SelectTrigger>
+    <SelectContent>
+      <SelectItem value="admin">Admin</SelectItem>
+      <SelectItem value="user">User</SelectItem>
+      <SelectItem value="guest">Guest</SelectItem>
+    </SelectContent>
+  </Select>
+  {form.formState.errors.role && (
+    <p className="text-sm text-destructive">
+      {form.formState.errors.role.message}
+    </p>
+  )}
+</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Checkbox
+
+```tsx
+<div className="flex items-center space-x-2">
+  <Checkbox
+    id="terms"
+    checked={form.watch('acceptTerms')}
+    onCheckedChange={(checked) => form.setValue('acceptTerms', checked as boolean)}
+  />
+  <Label htmlFor="terms" className="text-sm font-normal">
+    I accept the terms and conditions
+  </Label>
+</div>
+{form.formState.errors.acceptTerms && (
+  <p className="text-sm text-destructive">
+    {form.formState.errors.acceptTerms.message}
+  </p>
+)}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Radio Group (Custom Pattern)
+
+```tsx
+<div className="space-y-2">
+  <Label>Notification Method</Label>
+  <div className="space-y-2">
+    <div className="flex items-center space-x-2">
+      <input
+        type="radio"
+        id="email"
+        value="email"
+        {...form.register('notificationMethod')}
+      />
+      <Label htmlFor="email" className="font-normal">Email</Label>
+    </div>
+    <div className="flex items-center space-x-2">
+      <input
+        type="radio"
+        id="sms"
+        value="sms"
+        {...form.register('notificationMethod')}
+      />
+      <Label htmlFor="sms" className="font-normal">SMS</Label>
+    </div>
+  </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Validation with Zod
+
+### Common Validation Patterns
+
+```tsx
+import { z } from 'zod';
+
+// Email
+z.string().email('Invalid email address')
+
+// Min/max length
+z.string().min(8, 'Minimum 8 characters').max(100, 'Maximum 100 characters')
+
+// Required field
+z.string().min(1, 'This field is required')
+
+// Optional field
+z.string().optional()
+
+// Number with range
+z.number().min(0).max(100)
+
+// Number from string input
+z.coerce.number().min(0)
+
+// Enum
+z.enum(['admin', 'user', 'guest'], {
+  errorMap: () => ({ message: 'Invalid role' })
+})
+
+// URL
+z.string().url('Invalid URL')
+
+// Password with requirements
+z.string()
+  .min(8, 'Password must be at least 8 characters')
+  .regex(/[A-Z]/, 'Password must contain at least one uppercase letter')
+  .regex(/[a-z]/, 'Password must contain at least one lowercase letter')
+  .regex(/[0-9]/, 'Password must contain at least one number')
+
+// Confirm password
+z.object({
+  password: z.string().min(8),
+  confirmPassword: z.string()
+}).refine((data) => data.password === data.confirmPassword, {
+  message: "Passwords don't match",
+  path: ["confirmPassword"],
+})
+
+// Custom validation
+z.string().refine((val) => !val.includes('badword'), {
+  message: 'Invalid input',
+})
+
+// Conditional fields
+z.object({
+  role: z.enum(['admin', 'user']),
+  adminKey: z.string().optional(),
+}).refine((data) => {
+  if (data.role === 'admin') {
+    return !!data.adminKey;
+  }
+  return true;
+}, {
+  message: 'Admin key required for admin role',
+  path: ['adminKey'],
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+### Full Form Schema Example
+
+```tsx
+const userFormSchema = z.object({
+  // Required text
+  firstName: z.string().min(1, 'First name is required'),
+  lastName: z.string().min(1, 'Last name is required'),
+
+  // Email
+  email: z.string().email('Invalid email address'),
+
+  // Optional phone
+  phone: z.string().optional(),
+
+  // Number
+  age: z.coerce.number().min(18, 'Must be 18 or older').max(120),
+
+  // Enum
+  role: z.enum(['admin', 'user', 'guest']),
+
+  // Boolean
+  acceptTerms: z.boolean().refine((val) => val === true, {
+    message: 'You must accept the terms',
+  }),
+
+  // Nested object
+  address: z.object({
+    street: z.string().min(1),
+    city: z.string().min(1),
+    zip: z.string().regex(/^\d{5}$/, 'Invalid ZIP code'),
+  }),
+
+  // Array
+  tags: z.array(z.string()).min(1, 'At least one tag required'),
+});
+
+type UserFormData = z.infer<typeof userFormSchema>;
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Field-Level Errors
+
+```tsx
+<div className="space-y-2">
+  <Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
+  <Input
+    id="email"
+    type="email"
+    {...form.register('email')}
+    className={form.formState.errors.email ? 'border-destructive' : ''}
+    aria-invalid={!!form.formState.errors.email}
+    aria-describedby={form.formState.errors.email ? 'email-error' : undefined}
+  />
+  {form.formState.errors.email && (
+    <p id="email-error" className="text-sm text-destructive">
+      {form.formState.errors.email.message}
+    </p>
+  )}
+</div>
+```
+
+**Accessibility notes:**
+- Use `aria-invalid` to indicate error state
+- Use `aria-describedby` to link error message
+- Error ID format: `{fieldName}-error`
+
+---
+
+### Form-Level Errors
+
+```tsx
+const onSubmit = async (data: FormData) => {
+  try {
+    await submitForm(data);
+  } catch (error) {
+    // Set form-level error
+    form.setError('root', {
+      type: 'server',
+      message: error.message || 'Something went wrong',
+    });
+  }
+};
+
+// Display form-level error
+{form.formState.errors.root && (
+  <Alert variant="destructive">
+    <AlertCircle className="h-4 w-4" />
+    <AlertDescription>
+      {form.formState.errors.root.message}
+    </AlertDescription>
+  </Alert>
+)}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Server Validation Errors
+
+```tsx
+const onSubmit = async (data: FormData) => {
+  try {
+    await createUser(data);
+  } catch (error) {
+    if (error.response?.data?.errors) {
+      // Map server errors to form fields
+      const serverErrors = error.response.data.errors;
+
+      Object.keys(serverErrors).forEach((field) => {
+        form.setError(field as keyof FormData, {
+          type: 'server',
+          message: serverErrors[field],
+        });
+      });
+    } else {
+      // Generic error
+      form.setError('root', {
+        type: 'server',
+        message: 'Failed to create user',
+      });
+    }
+  }
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## Loading & Submit States
+
+### Basic Loading State
+
+```tsx
+<Button type="submit" disabled={form.formState.isSubmitting}>
+  {form.formState.isSubmitting ? 'Saving...' : 'Save Changes'}
+</Button>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Disable All Fields During Submit
+
+```tsx
+const isDisabled = form.formState.isSubmitting;
+
+<Input
+  {...form.register('name')}
+  disabled={isDisabled}
+/>
+
+<Button type="submit" disabled={isDisabled}>
+  {isDisabled ? 'Submitting...' : 'Submit'}
+</Button>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Loading with Toast
+
+```tsx
+const onSubmit = async (data: FormData) => {
+  const loadingToast = toast.loading('Creating user...');
+
+  try {
+    await createUser(data);
+    toast.success('User created successfully', { id: loadingToast });
+    router.push('/users');
+  } catch (error) {
+    toast.error('Failed to create user', { id: loadingToast });
+  }
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## Form Layouts
+
+### Centered Form (Login, Signup)
+
+```tsx
+<div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
+  <Card className="max-w-md mx-auto">
+    <CardHeader>
+      <CardTitle>Sign In</CardTitle>
+      <CardDescription>Enter your credentials to continue</CardDescription>
+    </CardHeader>
+    <CardContent>
+      <form onSubmit={form.handleSubmit(onSubmit)} className="space-y-4">
+        {/* Form fields */}
+        <Button type="submit" className="w-full">
+          Sign In
+        </Button>
+      </form>
+    </CardContent>
+  </Card>
+</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Two-Column Form
+
+```tsx
+<form onSubmit={form.handleSubmit(onSubmit)} className="space-y-6">
+  {/* Row 1: Two columns */}
+  <div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 gap-6">
+    <div className="space-y-2">
+      <Label htmlFor="firstName">First Name</Label>
+      <Input id="firstName" {...form.register('firstName')} />
+    </div>
+    <div className="space-y-2">
+      <Label htmlFor="lastName">Last Name</Label>
+      <Input id="lastName" {...form.register('lastName')} />
+    </div>
+  </div>
+
+  {/* Row 2: Full width */}
+  <div className="space-y-2">
+    <Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
+    <Input id="email" type="email" {...form.register('email')} />
+  </div>
+
+  <Button type="submit">Save</Button>
+</form>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Form with Sections
+
+```tsx
+<form onSubmit={form.handleSubmit(onSubmit)} className="space-y-8">
+  {/* Section 1 */}
+  <div className="space-y-4">
+    <div>
+      <h3 className="text-lg font-semibold">Personal Information</h3>
+      <p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground">
+        Basic details about you
+      </p>
+    </div>
+    <Separator />
+    <div className="space-y-4">
+      {/* Fields */}
+    </div>
+  </div>
+
+  {/* Section 2 */}
+  <div className="space-y-4">
+    <div>
+      <h3 className="text-lg font-semibold">Account Settings</h3>
+      <p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground">
+        Configure your account preferences
+      </p>
+    </div>
+    <Separator />
+    <div className="space-y-4">
+      {/* Fields */}
+    </div>
+  </div>
+
+  <div className="flex justify-end gap-4">
+    <Button type="button" variant="outline">Cancel</Button>
+    <Button type="submit">Save Changes</Button>
+  </div>
+</form>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Advanced Patterns
+
+### Dynamic Fields (Array)
+
+```tsx
+import { useFieldArray } from 'react-hook-form';
+
+const schema = z.object({
+  items: z.array(z.object({
+    name: z.string().min(1),
+    quantity: z.coerce.number().min(1),
+  })).min(1, 'At least one item required'),
+});
+
+function DynamicForm() {
+  const form = useForm({
+    resolver: zodResolver(schema),
+    defaultValues: {
+      items: [{ name: '', quantity: 1 }],
+    },
+  });
+
+  const { fields, append, remove } = useFieldArray({
+    control: form.control,
+    name: 'items',
+  });
+
+  return (
+    <form onSubmit={form.handleSubmit(onSubmit)} className="space-y-4">
+      {fields.map((field, index) => (
+        <div key={field.id} className="flex gap-4">
+          <Input
+            {...form.register(`items.${index}.name`)}
+            placeholder="Item name"
+          />
+          <Input
+            type="number"
+            {...form.register(`items.${index}.quantity`)}
+            placeholder="Quantity"
+          />
+          <Button
+            type="button"
+            variant="destructive"
+            onClick={() => remove(index)}
+          >
+            Remove
+          </Button>
+        </div>
+      ))}
+
+      <Button
+        type="button"
+        variant="outline"
+        onClick={() => append({ name: '', quantity: 1 })}
+      >
+        Add Item
+      </Button>
+
+      <Button type="submit">Submit</Button>
+    </form>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Conditional Fields
+
+```tsx
+const schema = z.object({
+  role: z.enum(['user', 'admin']),
+  adminKey: z.string().optional(),
+}).refine((data) => {
+  if (data.role === 'admin') {
+    return !!data.adminKey;
+  }
+  return true;
+}, {
+  message: 'Admin key required',
+  path: ['adminKey'],
+});
+
+function ConditionalForm() {
+  const form = useForm({ resolver: zodResolver(schema) });
+  const role = form.watch('role');
+
+  return (
+    <form className="space-y-4">
+      <Select
+        value={role}
+        onValueChange={(val) => form.setValue('role', val as any)}
+      >
+        <SelectTrigger><SelectValue /></SelectTrigger>
+        <SelectContent>
+          <SelectItem value="user">User</SelectItem>
+          <SelectItem value="admin">Admin</SelectItem>
+        </SelectContent>
+      </Select>
+
+      {role === 'admin' && (
+        <Input
+          {...form.register('adminKey')}
+          placeholder="Admin Key"
+        />
+      )}
+    </form>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### File Upload
+
+```tsx
+const schema = z.object({
+  file: z.instanceof(FileList).refine((files) => files.length > 0, {
+    message: 'File is required',
+  }),
+});
+
+<input
+  type="file"
+  {...form.register('file')}
+  accept="image/*"
+/>
+
+const onSubmit = (data: FormData) => {
+  const file = data.file[0];  // FileList -> File
+  const formData = new FormData();
+  formData.append('file', file);
+  // Upload formData
+};
+```
+

+
+## Accessibility Standards
+
+### WCAG 2.1 Level AA
+
+We follow **WCAG 2.1 Level AA** as the **minimum** standard.
+
+**Why Level AA?**
+- ✅ Required for most legal compliance (ADA, Section 508)
+- ✅ Covers 95%+ of accessibility needs
+- ✅ Achievable without major UX compromises
+- ✅ Industry standard for modern web apps
+
+**WCAG Principles (POUR):**
+1. **Perceivable** - Information can be perceived by users
+2. **Operable** - Interface can be operated by users
+3. **Understandable** - Information and operation are understandable
+4. **Robust** - Content works with current and future technologies
+
+---
+
+### Accessibility Decision Tree
+
+```
+Creating a UI element?
+│
+├─ Is it interactive?
+│  ├─YES─> Can it be focused with Tab?
+│  │       ├─YES─> ✅ Good
+│  │       └─NO──> ❌ Add tabIndex or use button/link
+│  │
+│  └─NO──> Is it important information?
+│          ├─YES─> Does it have appropriate semantic markup?
+│          │       ├─YES─> ✅ Good
+│          │       └─NO──> ❌ Use h1-h6, p, ul, etc.
+│          │
+│          └─NO──> Is it purely decorative?
+│                  ├─YES─> Add aria-hidden="true"
+│                  └─NO──> Add alt text or ARIA label
+```
+
+---
+
+## Color Contrast
+
+### Minimum Contrast Ratios (WCAG AA)
+
+| Content Type | Minimum Ratio | Example |
+|--------------|---------------|---------|
+| **Normal text** (< 18px) | **4.5:1** | Body paragraphs, form labels |
+| **Large text** (≥ 18px or ≥ 14px bold) | **3:1** | Headings, subheadings |
+| **UI components** | **3:1** | Buttons, form borders, icons |
+| **Graphical objects** | **3:1** | Chart elements, infographics |
+
+**WCAG AAA (ideal, not required):**
+- Normal text: 7:1
+- Large text: 4.5:1
+
+---
+
+### Testing Color Contrast
+
+**Tools:**
+- [WebAIM Contrast Checker](https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/)
+- Chrome DevTools: Inspect element → Accessibility panel
+- [Contrast Ratio Tool](https://contrast-ratio.com)
+- Browser extensions: axe DevTools, WAVE
+
+**Example:**
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - 4.7:1 contrast (WCAG AA pass)
+<p className="text-foreground">  // oklch(0.1529 0 0) on white
+  Body text
+</p>
+
+// ❌ BAD - 2.1:1 contrast (WCAG AA fail)
+<p className="text-gray-400">  // Too light
+  Body text
+</p>
+
+// ✅ GOOD - Using semantic tokens ensures contrast
+<p className="text-muted-foreground">
+  Secondary text
+</p>
+```
+
+**Our design system tokens are WCAG AA compliant:**
+- `text-foreground` on `bg-background`: 12.6:1 ✅
+- `text-primary-foreground` on `bg-primary`: 8.2:1 ✅
+- `text-destructive` on `bg-background`: 5.1:1 ✅
+- `text-muted-foreground` on `bg-background`: 4.6:1 ✅
+
+---
+
+### Color Blindness
+
+**8% of men and 0.5% of women** have some form of color blindness.
+
+**Best practices:**
+- ❌ Don't rely on color alone to convey information
+- ✅ Use icons, text labels, or patterns in addition to color
+- ✅ Test with color blindness simulators
+
+**Example:**
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ BAD - Color only
+<div className="text-green-600">Success</div>
+<div className="text-red-600">Error</div>
+
+// ✅ GOOD - Color + icon + text
+<Alert variant="success">
+  <CheckCircle className="h-4 w-4" />
+  <AlertTitle>Success</AlertTitle>
+  <AlertDescription>Operation completed</AlertDescription>
+</Alert>
+
+<Alert variant="destructive">
+  <AlertCircle className="h-4 w-4" />
+  <AlertTitle>Error</AlertTitle>
+  <AlertDescription>Something went wrong</AlertDescription>
+</Alert>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Keyboard Navigation
+
+### Core Requirements
+
+All interactive elements must be:
+1. ✅ **Focusable** - Can be reached with Tab key
+2. ✅ **Activatable** - Can be triggered with Enter or Space
+3. ✅ **Navigable** - Can move between with arrow keys (where appropriate)
+4. ✅ **Escapable** - Can be closed/exited with Escape key
+
+---
+
+### Tab Order
+
+**Natural tab order** follows DOM order (top to bottom, left to right).
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - Natural tab order
+<form>
+  <Input />  {/* Tab 1 */}
+  <Input />  {/* Tab 2 */}
+  <Button>Submit</Button>  {/* Tab 3 */}
+</form>
+
+// ❌ BAD - Using tabIndex to force order
+<form>
+  <Input tabIndex={2} />  // Don't do this
+  <Input tabIndex={1} />
+  <Button tabIndex={3}>Submit</Button>
+</form>
+```
+
+**When to use `tabIndex`:**
+- `tabIndex={0}` - Make non-interactive element focusable
+- `tabIndex={-1}` - Remove from tab order (for programmatic focus)
+- `tabIndex={1+}` - ❌ **Avoid** - Breaks natural order
+
+---
+
+### Keyboard Shortcuts
+
+| Key | Action | Example |
+|-----|--------|---------|
+| **Tab** | Move focus forward | Navigate through form fields |
+| **Shift + Tab** | Move focus backward | Go back to previous field |
+| **Enter** | Activate button/link | Submit form, follow link |
+| **Space** | Activate button/checkbox | Toggle checkbox, click button |
+| **Escape** | Close overlay | Close dialog, dropdown |
+| **Arrow keys** | Navigate within component | Navigate dropdown items |
+| **Home** | Jump to start | First item in list |
+| **End** | Jump to end | Last item in list |
+
+---
+
+### Implementing Keyboard Navigation
+
+**Button (automatic):**
+```tsx
+// ✅ Button is keyboard accessible by default
+<Button onClick={handleClick}>
+  Click me
+</Button>
+// Enter or Space triggers onClick
+```
+
+**Custom clickable div (needs work):**
+```tsx
+// ❌ BAD - Not keyboard accessible
+<div onClick={handleClick}>
+  Click me
+</div>
+
+// ✅ GOOD - Make it accessible
+<div
+  role="button"
+  tabIndex={0}
+  onClick={handleClick}
+  onKeyDown={(e) => {
+    if (e.key === 'Enter' || e.key === ' ') {
+      e.preventDefault();
+      handleClick();
+    }
+  }}
+>
+  Click me
+</div>
+
+// ✅ BETTER - Just use a button
+<button onClick={handleClick}>
+  Click me
+</button>
+```
+
+**Dropdown navigation:**
+```tsx
+<DropdownMenu>
+  <DropdownMenuContent>
+    <DropdownMenuItem>Edit</DropdownMenuItem>  {/* Arrow down */}
+    <DropdownMenuItem>Delete</DropdownMenuItem>  {/* Arrow down */}
+  </DropdownMenuContent>
+</DropdownMenu>
+// shadcn/ui handles arrow key navigation automatically
+```
+
+---
+
+### Skip Links
+
+**Allow keyboard users to skip navigation:**
+
+```tsx
+// Add to layout
+<a
+  href="#main-content"
+  className="sr-only focus:not-sr-only focus:absolute focus:top-4 focus:left-4 focus:z-50 focus:px-4 focus:py-2 focus:bg-primary focus:text-primary-foreground focus:rounded-lg"
+>
+  Skip to main content
+</a>
+
+<nav>{/* Navigation */}</nav>
+
+<main id="main-content">
+  {/* Main content */}
+</main>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Screen Reader Support
+
+### Screen Reader Basics
+
+**Popular screen readers:**
+- **NVDA** (Windows) - Free, most popular for testing
+- **JAWS** (Windows) - Industry standard, paid
+- **VoiceOver** (macOS/iOS) - Built-in to Apple devices
+- **TalkBack** (Android) - Built-in to Android
+
+**What screen readers announce:**
+- Semantic element type (button, link, heading, etc.)
+- Element text content
+- Element state (expanded, selected, disabled)
+- ARIA labels and descriptions
+
+---
+
+### Semantic HTML
+
+**Use the right HTML element for the job:**
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - Semantic HTML
+<header>
+  <nav>
+    <ul>
+      <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
+      <li><a href="/about">About</a></li>
+    </ul>
+  </nav>
+</header>
+
+<main>
+  <article>
+    <h1>Page Title</h1>
+    <p>Content...</p>
+  </article>
+</main>
+
+<footer>
+  <p>&copy; 2025 Company</p>
+</footer>
+
+// ❌ BAD - Div soup
+<div>
+  <div>
+    <div>
+      <div onClick={goHome}>Home</div>
+      <div onClick={goAbout}>About</div>
+    </div>
+  </div>
+</div>
+
+<div>
+  <div>
+    <div>Page Title</div>
+    <div>Content...</div>
+  </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+**Semantic elements:**
+- `<header>` - Page header
+- `<nav>` - Navigation
+- `<main>` - Main content (only one per page)
+- `<article>` - Self-contained content
+- `<section>` - Thematic grouping
+- `<aside>` - Sidebar content
+- `<footer>` - Page footer
+- `<h1>` - `<h6>` - Headings (hierarchical)
+- `<button>` - Buttons
+- `<a>` - Links
+
+---
+
+### Alt Text for Images
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - Descriptive alt text
+<img src="/chart.png" alt="Bar chart showing 20% increase in sales from January to February" />
+
+// ✅ GOOD - Decorative images
+<img src="/decorative.png" alt="" />  // Empty alt for decorative
+// OR
+<img src="/decorative.png" aria-hidden="true" />
+
+// ❌ BAD - Generic or missing alt
+<img src="/chart.png" alt="image" />
+<img src="/chart.png" />  // No alt
+```
+
+**Icon-only buttons:**
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - ARIA label
+<Button size="icon" aria-label="Close dialog">
+  <X className="h-4 w-4" />
+</Button>
+
+// ❌ BAD - No label
+<Button size="icon">
+  <X className="h-4 w-4" />
+</Button>
+```
+
+---
+
+## ARIA Attributes
+
+### Common ARIA Attributes
+
+**ARIA roles:**
+```tsx
+<div role="button" tabIndex={0}>Custom Button</div>
+<div role="alert">Error message</div>
+<div role="status">Loading...</div>
+<div role="navigation">...</div>
+```
+
+**ARIA states:**
+```tsx
+<button aria-expanded={isOpen}>Toggle Menu</button>
+<button aria-pressed={isActive}>Toggle</button>
+<input aria-invalid={!!errors.email} />
+<div aria-disabled="true">Disabled Item</div>
+```
+
+**ARIA properties:**
+```tsx
+<button aria-label="Close">×</button>
+<input aria-describedby="email-help" />
+<input aria-required="true" />
+<div aria-live="polite">Status updates</div>
+<div aria-hidden="true">Decorative content</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+### Form Accessibility
+
+**Label association:**
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - Explicit association
+<Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
+<Input id="email" type="email" />
+
+// ❌ BAD - No association
+<div>Email</div>
+<Input type="email" />
+```
+
+**Error messages:**
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - Linked with aria-describedby
+<Label htmlFor="password">Password</Label>
+<Input
+  id="password"
+  type="password"
+  aria-invalid={!!errors.password}
+  aria-describedby={errors.password ? 'password-error' : undefined}
+/>
+{errors.password && (
+  <p id="password-error" className="text-sm text-destructive">
+    {errors.password.message}
+  </p>
+)}
+
+// ❌ BAD - No association
+<Input type="password" />
+{errors.password && <p>{errors.password.message}</p>}
+```
+
+**Required fields:**
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - Marked as required
+<Label htmlFor="name">
+  Name <span className="text-destructive">*</span>
+</Label>
+<Input id="name" required aria-required="true" />
+
+// Screen reader announces: "Name, required, edit text"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Live Regions
+
+**Announce dynamic updates:**
+
+```tsx
+// Polite (waits for user to finish)
+<div aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true">
+  {statusMessage}
+</div>
+
+// Assertive (interrupts immediately)
+<div aria-live="assertive" role="alert">
+  {errorMessage}
+</div>
+
+// Example: Toast notifications (sonner uses this)
+toast.success('User created');
+// Announces: "Success. User created."
+```
+
+---
+
+## Focus Management
+
+### Visible Focus Indicators
+
+**All interactive elements must have visible focus:**
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - shadcn/ui components have focus rings
+<Button>Click me</Button>
+// Shows ring on focus
+
+// ✅ GOOD - Custom focus styles
+<div
+  tabIndex={0}
+  className="focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-ring focus-visible:ring-offset-2"
+>
+  Focusable content
+</div>
+
+// ❌ BAD - Removing focus outline
+<button style={{ outline: 'none' }}>Bad</button>
+```
+
+**Use `:focus-visible` instead of `:focus`:**
+- `:focus` - Shows on mouse click AND keyboard
+- `:focus-visible` - Shows only on keyboard (better UX)
+
+---
+
+### Focus Trapping
+
+**Dialogs should trap focus:**
+
+```tsx
+// shadcn/ui Dialog automatically traps focus
+<Dialog open={isOpen} onOpenChange={setIsOpen}>
+  <DialogContent>
+    {/* Focus trapped inside */}
+    <Input autoFocus />  {/* Focus first field */}
+    <Button>Submit</Button>
+  </DialogContent>
+</Dialog>
+
+// When dialog closes, focus returns to trigger button
+```
+
+---
+
+### Programmatic Focus
+
+**Set focus after actions:**
+
+```tsx
+const inputRef = useRef<HTMLInputElement>(null);
+
+const handleDelete = () => {
+  deleteUser();
+  // Return focus to a relevant element
+  inputRef.current?.focus();
+};
+
+<Input ref={inputRef} />
+```
+
+---
+

+- [ ] No keyboard traps
+- [ ] Enter/Space activates buttons
+- [ ] Escape closes dialogs/dropdowns
+- [ ] Arrow keys navigate lists/menus
+
+### Screen Readers
+- [ ] All images have alt text
+- [ ] Icon-only buttons have aria-label
+- [ ] Form labels associated with inputs
+- [ ] Form errors use aria-describedby
+- [ ] Required fields marked with aria-required
+- [ ] Live regions for dynamic updates
+- [ ] ARIA roles used correctly
+
+### Forms
+- [ ] Labels associated with inputs (`htmlFor` + `id`)

+
+## Quick Wins for Accessibility
+
+**Easy improvements with big impact:**
+
+1. **Add alt text to images**
+   ```tsx
+   <img src="/logo.png" alt="Company Logo" />
+   ```
+
+2. **Associate labels with inputs**
+   ```tsx
+   <Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
+   <Input id="email" />
+   ```
+
+3. **Use semantic HTML**
+   ```tsx
+   <button> instead of <div onClick>
+   ```
+
+4. **Add aria-label to icon buttons**
+   ```tsx
+   <Button aria-label="Close"><X /></Button>
+   ```
+
+5. **Use semantic color tokens**
+   ```tsx
+   className="text-foreground" // Auto contrast
+   ```
+
+6. **Test with keyboard only**
+   - Tab through page
+   - Fix anything unreachable

+# AI Code Generation Guidelines
+
+**For AI Assistants**: This document contains strict rules for generating code in the FastNext Template project. Follow these rules to ensure generated code matches the design system perfectly.
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Core Rules
+
+### ALWAYS Do
+
+1. ✅ **Import from `@/components/ui/*`**
+   ```tsx
+   import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button';
+   import { Card, CardHeader, CardTitle, CardContent } from '@/components/ui/card';
+   ```
+
+2. ✅ **Use semantic color tokens**
+   ```tsx
+   className="bg-primary text-primary-foreground"
+   className="text-destructive"
+   className="bg-muted text-muted-foreground"
+   ```
+
+3. ✅ **Use `cn()` utility for className merging**
+   ```tsx
+   import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';
+
+   className={cn("base-classes", conditional && "conditional-classes", className)}
+   ```
+
+4. ✅ **Follow spacing scale** (multiples of 4: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16)
+   ```tsx
+   className="p-4 space-y-6 mb-8"
+   ```
+
+5. ✅ **Add accessibility attributes**
+   ```tsx
+   <Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
+   <Input
+     id="email"
+     aria-invalid={!!errors.email}
+     aria-describedby={errors.email ? 'email-error' : undefined}
+   />
+   ```
+
+6. ✅ **Use component variants**
+   ```tsx
+   <Button variant="destructive">Delete</Button>
+   <Alert variant="destructive">Error message</Alert>
+   ```
+
+7. ✅ **Compose from shadcn/ui primitives**
+   ```tsx
+   // Don't create custom card components
+   // Use Card + CardHeader + CardTitle + CardContent
+   ```
+
+8. ✅ **Use mobile-first responsive design**
+   ```tsx
+   className="text-2xl sm:text-3xl lg:text-4xl"
+   className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3"
+   ```
+
+---
+
+### NEVER Do
+
+1. ❌ **NO arbitrary colors**
+   ```tsx
+   // ❌ WRONG
+   className="bg-blue-500 text-white"
+
+   // ✅ CORRECT
+   className="bg-primary text-primary-foreground"
+   ```
+
+2. ❌ **NO arbitrary spacing values**
+   ```tsx
+   // ❌ WRONG
+   className="p-[13px] mb-[17px]"
+
+   // ✅ CORRECT
+   className="p-4 mb-4"
+   ```
+
+3. ❌ **NO inline styles**
+   ```tsx
+   // ❌ WRONG
+   style={{ margin: '10px', color: '#3b82f6' }}
+
+   // ✅ CORRECT
+   className="m-4 text-primary"
+   ```
+
+4. ❌ **NO custom CSS classes** (use Tailwind utilities)
+   ```tsx
+   // ❌ WRONG
+   <div className="my-custom-class">
+
+   // ✅ CORRECT
+   <div className="flex items-center justify-between p-4">
+   ```
+
+5. ❌ **NO mixing component libraries**
+   ```tsx
+   // ❌ WRONG - Don't use Material-UI, Ant Design, etc.
+   import { Button } from '@mui/material';
+
+   // ✅ CORRECT - Only shadcn/ui
+   import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button';
+   ```
+
+6. ❌ **NO skipping accessibility**
+   ```tsx
+   // ❌ WRONG
+   <button><X /></button>
+
+   // ✅ CORRECT
+   <Button size="icon" aria-label="Close">
+     <X className="h-4 w-4" />
+   </Button>
+   ```
+
+7. ❌ **NO creating custom variants without CVA**
+   ```tsx
+   // ❌ WRONG
+   <Button className={type === 'danger' ? 'bg-red-500' : 'bg-blue-500'}>
+
+   // ✅ CORRECT
+   <Button variant="destructive">Delete</Button>
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## 📐 Layout Patterns
+
+### Page Container
+
+```tsx
+<div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
+  <div className="max-w-4xl mx-auto space-y-6">
+    {/* Content */}
+  </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Dashboard Grid
+
+```tsx
+<div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-6">
+  {items.map(item => <Card key={item.id}>...</Card>)}
+</div>
+```
+
+### Form Layout
+
+```tsx
+<Card className="max-w-md mx-auto">
+  <CardHeader>
+    <CardTitle>Form Title</CardTitle>
+  </CardHeader>
+  <CardContent>
+    <form className="space-y-4">
+      {/* Form fields */}
+    </form>
+  </CardContent>
+</Card>
+```
+
+### Centered Content
+
+```tsx
+<div className="max-w-2xl mx-auto px-4">
+  {/* Readable content width */}
+</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🧩 Component Templates
+
+### Custom Component Template
+
+```tsx
+import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';
+import { Card } from '@/components/ui/card';
+
+interface MyComponentProps {
+  variant?: 'default' | 'compact';
+  className?: string;
+  children: React.ReactNode;
+}
+
+export function MyComponent({
+  variant = 'default',
+  className,
+  children
+}: MyComponentProps) {
+  return (
+    <Card className={cn(
+      "p-4", // base styles
+      variant === 'compact' && "p-2",
+      className // allow overrides
+    )}>
+      {children}
+    </Card>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Component with CVA (class-variance-authority)
+
+```tsx
+import { cva, type VariantProps } from 'class-variance-authority';
+import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';
+
+const componentVariants = cva(
+  "base-classes-here", // base
+  {
+    variants: {
+      variant: {
+        default: "bg-primary text-primary-foreground",
+        destructive: "bg-destructive text-destructive-foreground",
+      },
+      size: {
+        sm: "h-8 px-3 text-xs",
+        default: "h-10 px-4 text-sm",
+        lg: "h-12 px-6 text-base",
+      },
+    },
+    defaultVariants: {
+      variant: "default",
+      size: "default",
+    },
+  }
+);
+
+interface ComponentProps
+  extends React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>,
+    VariantProps<typeof componentVariants> {}
+
+export function Component({ variant, size, className, ...props }: ComponentProps) {
+  return (
+    <div className={cn(componentVariants({ variant, size, className }))} {...props} />
+  );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Form Pattern Template
+
+```tsx
+import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form';
+import { zodResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/zod';
+import { z } from 'zod';
+import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button';
+import { Input } from '@/components/ui/input';
+import { Label } from '@/components/ui/label';
+import { Alert } from '@/components/ui/alert';
+
+const formSchema = z.object({
+  email: z.string().email('Invalid email address'),
+  password: z.string().min(8, 'Password must be at least 8 characters'),
+});
+
+type FormData = z.infer<typeof formSchema>;
+
+export function MyForm() {
+  const form = useForm<FormData>({
+    resolver: zodResolver(formSchema),
+    defaultValues: {
+      email: '',
+      password: '',
+    },
+  });
+
+  const onSubmit = async (data: FormData) => {
+    // Handle submission
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <form onSubmit={form.handleSubmit(onSubmit)} className="space-y-4">
+      {/* Email Field */}
+      <div className="space-y-2">
+        <Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
+        <Input
+          id="email"
+          type="email"
+          {...form.register('email')}
+          aria-invalid={!!form.formState.errors.email}
+          aria-describedby={form.formState.errors.email ? 'email-error' : undefined}
+        />
+        {form.formState.errors.email && (
+          <p id="email-error" className="text-sm text-destructive">
+            {form.formState.errors.email.message}
+          </p>
+        )}
+      </div>
+
+      {/* Submit Button */}
+      <Button type="submit" disabled={form.formState.isSubmitting}>
+        {form.formState.isSubmitting ? 'Submitting...' : 'Submit'}
+      </Button>
+    </form>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎨 Color Token Reference
+
+**Always use these semantic tokens:**
+
+| Token | Usage |
+|-------|-------|
+| `bg-primary text-primary-foreground` | Primary buttons, CTAs |
+| `bg-secondary text-secondary-foreground` | Secondary actions |
+| `bg-destructive text-destructive-foreground` | Delete, errors |
+| `bg-muted text-muted-foreground` | Disabled states |
+| `bg-accent text-accent-foreground` | Hover states |
+| `bg-card text-card-foreground` | Card backgrounds |
+| `text-foreground` | Body text |
+| `text-muted-foreground` | Secondary text |
+| `border-border` | Borders |
+| `ring-ring` | Focus rings |
+
+---
+
+## 📏 Spacing Reference
+
+**Use these spacing values (multiples of 4px):**
+
+| Class | Value | Pixels | Usage |
+|-------|-------|--------|-------|
+| `2` | 0.5rem | 8px | Tight spacing |
+| `4` | 1rem | 16px | Standard spacing |
+| `6` | 1.5rem | 24px | Section spacing |
+| `8` | 2rem | 32px | Large gaps |
+| `12` | 3rem | 48px | Section dividers |
+| `16` | 4rem | 64px | Page sections |
+
+---
+
+## 🔑 Decision Trees
+
+### When to use Grid vs Flex?
+
+```
+Need equal-width columns? → Use Grid
+  className="grid grid-cols-3 gap-6"
+
+Need flexible item sizes? → Use Flex
+  className="flex gap-4"
+
+Need 2D layout (rows + columns)? → Use Grid
+  className="grid grid-cols-2 grid-rows-3 gap-4"
+
+Need 1D layout (single row OR column)? → Use Flex
+  className="flex flex-col gap-4"
+```
+
+### When to use Margin vs Padding?
+
+```
+Spacing between sibling elements? → Use gap or space-y
+  className="flex gap-4"
+  className="space-y-4"
+
+Internal element spacing? → Use padding
+  className="p-4"
+
+External element spacing? → Avoid margins, use parent gap
+  // ❌ Child with margin
+  <div className="mb-4">
+
+  // ✅ Parent with gap
+  <div className="space-y-4">
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 Common Mistakes to Avoid
+
+### ❌ Mistake 1: Hardcoding colors
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ WRONG
+<div className="bg-red-500 text-white">Error</div>
+
+// ✅ CORRECT
+<Alert variant="destructive">Error message</Alert>
+```
+
+### ❌ Mistake 2: Arbitrary spacing
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ WRONG
+<div className="p-[15px] mb-[23px]">
+
+// ✅ CORRECT
+<div className="p-4 mb-6">
+```
+
+### ❌ Mistake 3: Missing accessibility
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ WRONG
+<input type="email" />
+
+// ✅ CORRECT
+<Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
+<Input id="email" type="email" />
+```
+
+### ❌ Mistake 4: Creating custom components unnecessarily
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ WRONG - Custom component for simple composition
+function MyCard({ title, children }) {
+  return <div className="card">{children}</div>;
+}
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - Use shadcn/ui primitives
+<Card>
+  <CardHeader>
+    <CardTitle>{title}</CardTitle>
+  </CardHeader>
+  <CardContent>{children}</CardContent>
+</Card>
+```
+
+### ❌ Mistake 5: Not using cn() utility
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ WRONG
+<div className={`base-class ${isActive ? 'active-class' : ''} ${className}`}>
+
+// ✅ CORRECT
+<div className={cn("base-class", isActive && "active-class", className)}>
+```

+- Use cn() for className merging
+- Add accessibility attributes
+- See /docs/design-system/08-ai-guidelines.md
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Examples
+
+### ✅ Good Component (AI Generated)
+
+```tsx
+import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';
+import { Card, CardHeader, CardTitle, CardContent } from '@/components/ui/card';
+import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button';
+
+interface DashboardCardProps {
+  title: string;
+  value: string;
+  trend?: 'up' | 'down';
+  className?: string;
+}
+
+export function DashboardCard({ title, value, trend, className }: DashboardCardProps) {
+  return (
+    <Card className={cn("p-6", className)}>
+      <CardHeader>
+        <CardTitle className="text-sm font-medium text-muted-foreground">
+          {title}
+        </CardTitle>
+      </CardHeader>
+      <CardContent>
+        <div className="text-2xl font-bold">{value}</div>
+        {trend && (
+          <p className={cn(
+            "text-xs",
+            trend === 'up' && "text-green-600",
+            trend === 'down' && "text-destructive"
+          )}>
+            {trend === 'up' ? '↑' : '↓'} Trend
+          </p>
+        )}
+      </CardContent>
+    </Card>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+**Why it's good:**
+- ✅ Imports from `@/components/ui/*`
+- ✅ Uses semantic tokens
+- ✅ Uses `cn()` utility
+- ✅ Follows spacing scale
+- ✅ Composes from shadcn/ui primitives
+- ✅ TypeScript interfaces
+- ✅ Allows className override

+<div className="space-y-2">
+  <Label>...</Label>
+  <Input />
+</div>
+
+// Button group horizontal spacing
+<div className="flex gap-4">
+  <Button>Cancel</Button>

+
+### Grid Columns
+
+```tsx
+// 1 → 2 → 3 progression (most common)
+className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-6"
+
+// 1 → 2 → 4 progression
+className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-4 gap-6"
+
+// 1 → 2 progression (simple)
+className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 gap-6"
+
+// 1 → 3 progression (skip 2)
+className="grid grid-cols-1 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-6"
+```
+
+### Container Widths
+
+```tsx
+// Standard container
+className="container mx-auto px-4"
+
+// Constrained widths
+className="max-w-md mx-auto"   // 448px - Forms
+className="max-w-lg mx-auto"   // 512px - Modals
+className="max-w-2xl mx-auto"  // 672px - Articles
+className="max-w-4xl mx-auto"  // 896px - Wide layouts
+className="max-w-7xl mx-auto"  // 1280px - Full page
+```
+
+### Flex Patterns
+
+```tsx
+// Horizontal flex
+className="flex gap-4"
+
+// Vertical flex
+className="flex flex-col gap-4"
+
+// Center items
+className="flex items-center justify-center"
+
+// Space between
+className="flex items-center justify-between"
+
+// Wrap items
+className="flex flex-wrap gap-4"
+
+// Responsive: stack on mobile, row on desktop
+className="flex flex-col sm:flex-row gap-4"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Common Class Combinations
+
+### Page Container
+
+```tsx
+<div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
+  <div className="max-w-4xl mx-auto space-y-6">
+    {/* Content */}
+  </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Card Header with Action
+
+```tsx
+<CardHeader className="flex flex-row items-center justify-between space-y-0">
+  <div>
+    <CardTitle>Title</CardTitle>
+    <CardDescription>Description</CardDescription>
+  </div>
+  <Button variant="outline" size="sm">Action</Button>
+</CardHeader>
+```
+
+### Dashboard Metric Card Header
+
+```tsx
+<CardHeader className="flex flex-row items-center justify-between space-y-0 pb-2">
+  <CardTitle className="text-sm font-medium">Metric Title</CardTitle>
+  <Icon className="h-4 w-4 text-muted-foreground" />
+</CardHeader>
+```
+
+### Form Field
+
+```tsx
+<div className="space-y-2">
+  <Label htmlFor="field">Label</Label>
+  <Input id="field" />
+  {error && <p className="text-sm text-destructive">{error.message}</p>}
+</div>
+```
+
+### Centered Form Card
+
+```tsx
+<div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
+  <Card className="max-w-md mx-auto">
+    <CardHeader>
+      <CardTitle>Form Title</CardTitle>
+    </CardHeader>
+    <CardContent>
+      <form className="space-y-4">
+        {/* Fields */}
+      </form>
+    </CardContent>
+  </Card>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Button Group
+
+```tsx
+<div className="flex gap-4">
+  <Button variant="outline">Cancel</Button>
+  <Button>Save</Button>
+</div>
+
+// Or right-aligned
+<div className="flex justify-end gap-4">
+  <Button variant="outline">Cancel</Button>
+  <Button>Save</Button>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Icon with Text
+
+```tsx
+<div className="flex items-center gap-2">
+  <Icon className="h-4 w-4" />
+  <span>Text</span>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Responsive Text
+
+```tsx
+<h1 className="text-2xl sm:text-3xl lg:text-4xl font-bold">
+  Responsive Title
+</h1>
+```
+
+### Responsive Padding
+
+```tsx
+<div className="p-4 sm:p-6 lg:p-8">
+  Responsive padding
+</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Decision Trees
+
+### Grid vs Flex
+
+```
+Need equal-width columns? → Grid
+  Example: grid grid-cols-3 gap-6
+
+Need flexible item sizes? → Flex
+  Example: flex gap-4
+
+Need 2D layout (rows + columns)? → Grid
+  Example: grid grid-cols-2 grid-rows-3 gap-4
+
+Need 1D layout (row OR column)? → Flex
+  Example: flex flex-col gap-4
+```
+
+### Margin vs Padding vs Gap
+
+```
+Spacing between siblings?
+  ├─ Flex/Grid parent? → gap
+  └─ Regular parent? → space-y or space-x
+
+Inside component? → padding
+
+Exception case (one child different)? → margin
+```
+
+### Button Variant
+
+```
+What's the action?
+├─ Primary action (save, submit) → variant="default"
+├─ Secondary action (cancel, back) → variant="secondary"
+├─ Alternative action (view, edit) → variant="outline"
+├─ Subtle action (icon in list) → variant="ghost"
+├─ In-text action (learn more) → variant="link"
+└─ Delete/remove action → variant="destructive"
+```
+
+### Form Field Error Display
+
+```
+Has error?
+  ├─YES─> Add aria-invalid={true}
+  │       Add aria-describedby="field-error"
+  │       Add border-destructive class
+  │       Show <p id="field-error" className="text-sm text-destructive">
+  │
+  └─NO──> Normal state
+```
+
+---
+
+## Keyboard Shortcuts
+
+| Key | Action | Context |
+|-----|--------|---------|
+| `Tab` | Move focus forward | All |
+| `Shift + Tab` | Move focus backward | All |
+| `Enter` | Activate button/link | Buttons, links |
+| `Space` | Activate button/checkbox | Buttons, checkboxes |
+| `Escape` | Close overlay | Dialogs, dropdowns |
+| `Arrow keys` | Navigate items | Dropdowns, lists |
+| `Home` | Jump to start | Lists |
+| `End` | Jump to end | Lists |
+
+---
+
+## Accessibility Quick Checks
+
+### Contrast Ratios
+
+- **Normal text (< 18px)**: 4.5:1 minimum
+- **Large text (≥ 18px or ≥ 14px bold)**: 3:1 minimum
+- **UI components**: 3:1 minimum
+
+### ARIA Attributes
+
+```tsx
+// Icon-only button
+<Button size="icon" aria-label="Close">
+  <X className="h-4 w-4" />
+</Button>
+
+// Form field error
+<Input
+  aria-invalid={!!error}
+  aria-describedby={error ? 'field-error' : undefined}
+/>
+{error && <p id="field-error">{error.message}</p>}
+
+// Required field
+<Input aria-required="true" required />
+
+// Live region
+<div aria-live="polite">{statusMessage}</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Import Cheat Sheet

+import { toast } from 'sonner';
+
+// Icons
+import { Check, X, AlertCircle, Loader2 } from 'lucide-react';
+```
+
+---
+
+## Zod Validation Patterns
+
+```tsx
+// Required string
+z.string().min(1, 'Required')
+
+// Email
+z.string().email('Invalid email')
+
+// Min/max length
+z.string().min(8, 'Min 8 chars').max(100, 'Max 100 chars')
+
+// Optional
+z.string().optional()
+
+// Number
+z.coerce.number().min(0).max(100)
+
+// Enum
+z.enum(['admin', 'user', 'guest'])
+
+// Boolean
+z.boolean().refine(val => val === true, { message: 'Must accept' })
+
+// Password confirmation
+z.object({
+  password: z.string().min(8),
+  confirmPassword: z.string()
+}).refine(data => data.password === data.confirmPassword, {
+  message: "Passwords don't match",
+  path: ["confirmPassword"],
+})
+```

+| `lg:` | 1024px | Laptops, desktops |
+| `xl:` | 1280px | Large desktops |
+| `2xl:` | 1536px | Extra large screens |
+
+```tsx
+// Mobile-first (default → sm → md → lg)
+className="text-sm sm:text-base md:text-lg lg:text-xl"
+className="p-4 sm:p-6 lg:p-8"
+className="grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Shadows & Radius
+
+### Shadows
+
+```tsx
+shadow-sm   // Cards, panels
+shadow-md   // Dropdowns, tooltips
+shadow-lg   // Modals, popovers
+shadow-xl   // Floating notifications
+```
+
+### Border Radius
+
+```tsx
+rounded-sm   // 2px - Tags, small badges
+rounded-md   // 4px - Inputs, small buttons
+rounded-lg   // 6px - Cards, buttons (default)

+## 🎯 Key Principles
+
+Our design system is built on these core principles:
+
+1. **🎨 Semantic First** - Use `bg-primary`, not `bg-blue-500`
+2. **♿ Accessible by Default** - WCAG AA minimum, keyboard-first
+3. **📐 Consistent Spacing** - Multiples of 4px (0.25rem)
+4. **🧩 Compose, Don't Create** - Use shadcn/ui primitives
+5. **🌗 Dark Mode Ready** - All components work in light/dark
+6. **⚡ Pareto Efficient** - 80% of needs with 20% of patterns
+
+---
+
+## 🏗️ Technology Stack
+
+- **Framework**: Next.js 15 + React 19
+- **Styling**: Tailwind CSS 4 (CSS-first configuration)
+- **Components**: shadcn/ui (New York style)
+- **Color Space**: OKLCH (perceptually uniform)
+- **Icons**: lucide-react
+- **Fonts**: Geist Sans + Geist Mono
