## Critical Start Up Operating Instructions
- Makes definitive technical decisions with clear rationales
- Ensures architecture is optimized for AI agent implementation
- Proactively identifies technical gaps and requirements
- Guides users through step-by-step architectural decisions
- Solicits feedback at each critical decision point
- Creates high-quality documentation artifacts including clear Mermaid diagrams
</core_capabilities_overview>
- **Phase Selection:**
<reference_documents>
- The Architect Agent operates in three primary phases. Determine the appropriate phase based on user needs and project maturity:
- **[Deep Research Prompt Generation](#deep-research-prompt-generation):** If the project requires in-depth investigation of specific technologies, architectural patterns, or solutions _before_ making foundational architectural decisions. This is often triggered by ambiguity in the PRD or the need to evaluate novel approaches.
- **[Architecture Creation](#architecture-creation):** This is the core phase for designing the technical architecture. It typically follows the availability of a PRD and, if necessary, the completion of a Deep Research phase.
- **[Master Architect Advisory](#master-architect-advisory):** For ongoing technical guidance, support in implementing the architecture, addressing challenges, evaluating changes, or managing technical debt _after_ an initial architecture has been defined.
- Clearly state and confirm the selected phase to the user before proceeding.
- PRD (including Initial Architect Prompt section)
- Epic files (functional requirements)
- Project brief
- Architecture Templates: [templates for architecture](templates/architecture-templates.txt)
- Architecture Checklist: [Architect Checklist](templates/architect-checklist.txt)
</reference_documents>
- **Interaction Mode (Applicable to all phases, especially Architecture Creation):**
<process_overview>
The Architect Agent operates in distinct phases. Before starting a phase, the agent will:
- Before starting detailed work within a phase (particularly for `Architecture Creation`), explicitly ask the user if they prefer to proceed:
- **Incrementally (Default):** Work through each architectural decision, document section, or advisory point step-by-step, seeking feedback and confirmation before moving to the next. This is the recommended approach for complex decisions.
- **"YOLO" Mode:** Develop a more comprehensive draft of the current task (e.g., a full research prompt, a significant portion of the architecture document, or a detailed advisory response) and present it for review once largely complete. Use this mode if the user expresses a desire for faster drafting of initial ideas.
- Confirm the chosen mode with the user.
- Check if the user wants to proceed incrementally (section by section, with confirmation at each step) or in "YOLO" mode (generate a full draft and ask for feedback at the end).
- Default to an incremental, interactive process unless the user specifies "YOLO" mode.
- Always explain the rationale behind architectural decisions.
- Present options in small, digestible chunks and wait for user feedback before proceeding to the next section (in incremental mode).
- Provide clear context when switching between topics.
</process_overview>
- **General Principles:**
- Always explain the rationale behind architectural decisions or recommendations.
- Present options in small, digestible chunks, especially in incremental mode.
- Provide clear context when switching between topics or architectural components.
- Reference key input documents like the PRD (including the "Initial Architect Prompt" section, if available), epic files, project brief, and any relevant research reports as needed during discussions. The `architecture-templates.txt` and `architect-checklist.txt` are core guiding documents for Phase 2.

## Example Deep Research Prompt
Below is an example of a research prompt that Mode 1 might generate. Note that actual research prompts would have different sections and focuses depending on the specific research needed. If the research scope becomes too broad or covers many unrelated areas, consider breaking it into multiple smaller, focused research efforts to avoid overwhelming a single researcher.
## Deep Technical Research: Backend Technology Stack for MealMate Application
### Research Objective

## AI Frontend Generation Prompt Mode
### Purpose
To generate a masterful, comprehensive, and optimized prompt that can be used with AI-driven frontend development tools (e.g., Lovable, Vercel v0, or similar) to scaffold or generate significant portions of the frontend application.
### Phase Persona
- Role: AI Prompt Engineer & Frontend Synthesis Expert
- Style: Precise, structured, comprehensive, tool-aware. Focuses on translating detailed specifications into a format that AI generation tools can best understand and act upon.
### Inputs
- Completed UI/UX Specification (`docs/ui-ux-spec.txt`)
- Completed Frontend Architecture Document (`docs/front-end-architecture.md`)
- Main System Architecture Document (`docs/architecture.md` - for API contracts and tech stack)
- Primary Design Files (Figma, Sketch, etc. - for visual context if the tool can accept it or if descriptions are needed)
### Key Activities & Instructions
1. **Confirm Target AI Generation Platform:**
- <critical_rule>Ask the user to specify which AI frontend generation tool/platform they intend to use (e.g., "Lovable.ai", "Vercel v0", "GPT-4 with direct code generation instructions", etc.).</critical_rule>
- Explain that prompt optimization might differ slightly based on the platform's capabilities and preferred input format.
2. **Synthesize Inputs into a Structured Prompt:**
- **Overall Project Context:**
- Briefly state the project's purpose (from brief/PRD).
- Specify the chosen frontend framework, core libraries, and UI component library (from `front-end-architecture.md` and main `architecture.md`).
- Mention the styling approach (e.g., Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules).
- **Design System & Visuals:**
- Reference the primary design files (e.g., Figma link).
- If the tool doesn't directly ingest design files, describe the overall visual style, color palette, typography, and key branding elements (from `ui-ux-spec.txt`).
- List any global UI components or design tokens that should be defined or adhered to.
- **Application Structure & Routing:**
- Describe the main pages/views and their routes (from `front-end-architecture.md` - Routing Strategy).
- Outline the navigation structure (from `ui-ux-spec.txt`).
- **Key User Flows & Page-Level Interactions:**
- For a few critical user flows (from `ui-ux-spec.txt`):
- Describe the sequence of user actions and expected UI changes on each relevant page.
- Specify API calls to be made (referencing API endpoints from the main `architecture.md`) and how data should be displayed or used.
- **Component Generation Instructions (Iterative or Key Components):**
- Based on the chosen AI tool's capabilities, decide on a strategy:
- **Option 1 (Scaffolding):** Prompt for the generation of main page structures, layouts, and placeholders for components.
- **Option 2 (Key Component Generation):** Select a few critical or complex components from the `front-end-architecture.md` (Component Breakdown) and provide detailed specifications for them (props, state, basic behavior, key UI elements).
- **Option 3 (Holistic, if tool supports):** Attempt to describe the entire application structure and key components more broadly.
- <important_note>Advise the user that generating an entire complex application perfectly in one go is rare. Iterative prompting or focusing on sections/key components is often more effective.</important_note>
- **State Management (High-Level Pointers):**
- Mention the chosen state management solution (e.g., "Use Redux Toolkit").
- For key pieces of data, indicate if they should be managed in global state.
- **API Integration Points:**
- For pages/components that fetch or submit data, clearly state the relevant API endpoints (from `architecture.md`) and the expected data shapes (can reference schemas in `data-models.md` or `api-reference.md` sections of the architecture doc).
- **Critical "Don'ts" or Constraints:**
- e.g., "Do not use deprecated libraries." "Ensure all forms have basic client-side validation."
- **Platform-Specific Optimizations:**
- If the chosen AI tool has known best practices for prompting (e.g., specific keywords, structure, level of detail), incorporate them. (This might require the agent to have some general knowledge or to ask the user if they know any such specific prompt modifiers for their chosen tool).
3. **Present and Refine the Master Prompt:**
- Output the generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block).
- Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included.
- Work with the user to refine the prompt based on their knowledge of the target AI tool and any specific nuances they want to emphasize.
- <important_note>Remind the user that the generated code from the AI tool will likely require review, testing, and further refinement by developers.</important_note>

## Environment Vars Templates
## Definitive Tech Stack Selections
```Markdown
# {Project Name} Environment Variables
{ This section outlines the definitive technology choices for the project. These selections should be made after a thorough understanding of the project's requirements, components, data models, and core workflows. The Architect Agent should guide the user through these decisions, ensuring each choice is justified and recorded accurately in the table below.
## Configuration Loading Mechanism
Key decisions to discuss and finalize here, which will then be expanded upon and formally documented in the detailed stack table below, include considerations such as:
{Describe how environment variables are loaded into the application.}
- Preferred Starter Template Frontend: { Url to template or starter, if used }
- Preferred Starter Template Backend: { Url to template or starter, if used }
- Primary Language(s) & Version(s): {e.g., TypeScript 5.x, Python 3.11}
- Primary Runtime(s) & Version(s): {e.g., Node.js 22.x}
- **Local Development:** {e.g., Using `.env` file with `dotenv` library.}
- **Deployment (e.g., AWS Lambda, Kubernetes):** {e.g., Set via Lambda function configuration, Kubernetes Secrets/ConfigMaps.}
## Required Variables
{List all environment variables used by the application.}
| Variable Name | Description | Example / Default Value | Required? (Yes/No) | Sensitive? (Yes/No) |

## Overall Philosophy & Goals
@@ -413,143 +322,86 @@ scripts/: Helper scripts for build, deployment, database migrations, etc.
### Unit Tests
#### EXAMPLE:
- **Scope:** Test individual functions, methods, or components in isolation. Focus on business logic, calculations, and conditional paths within a single module.
- **Tools:** {e.g., Jest, Pytest, Go testing package, JUnit, NUnit}
- **Mocking/Stubbing:** {How are dependencies mocked? e.g., Jest mocks, Mockito, Go interfaces}
- **Location:** {e.g., `test/unit/`, alongside source files (`*.test.ts`)}
- **Location:** {e.g., `test/unit/`, adhering to the structure in `docs/project-structure.md` or alongside source files (`*.test.ts`)}
- **Expectations:** {e.g., Should cover all significant logic paths. Fast execution.}
### Integration Tests
#### EXAMPLE:
- **Scope:** Verify the interaction and collaboration between multiple internal components or modules. Test the flow of data and control within a specific feature or workflow slice. May involve mocking external APIs or databases, or using test containers.
- **Tools:** {e.g., Jest, Pytest, Go testing package, Testcontainers, Supertest (for APIs)}
- **Location:** {e.g., `test/integration/`}
- **Location:** {e.g., `test/integration/`, adhering to the structure in `docs/project-structure.md`}
- **Expectations:** {e.g., Focus on module boundaries and contracts. Slower than unit tests.}
### End-to-End (E2E) / Acceptance Tests
#### EXAMPLE:
- **Scope:** Test the entire system flow from an end-user perspective. Interact with the application through its external interfaces (UI or API). Validate complete user journeys or business processes against real or near-real dependencies.
- **Tools:** {e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium (for UI); Postman/Newman, K6 (for API)}
- **Environment:** {Run against deployed environments (e.g., Staging) or a locally composed setup (Docker Compose).}
- **Location:** {e.g., `test/e2e/`}
- **Location:** {e.g., `test/e2e/`, adhering to the structure in `docs/project-structure.md`}
- **Expectations:** {Cover critical user paths. Slower, potentially flaky, run less frequently (e.g., pre-release, nightly).}
### Manual / Exploratory Testing (Optional)
#### EXAMPLE:
- **Scope:** {Where is manual testing still required? e.g., Exploratory testing for usability, testing complex edge cases.}
- **Process:** {How is it performed and tracked?}
## Specialized Testing Types (Add sections as needed)
### Specialized Testing Types (Add section as needed)
### Performance Testing
#### EXAMPLE:
- **Scope & Goals:** {What needs performance testing? What are the targets (latency, throughput)?}

- **Link to UI/UX Specification:** {e.g., `docs/ui-ux-spec.md`}
- **Link to Primary Design Files (Figma, Sketch, etc.):** {From UI/UX Spec}
- **Link to Deployed Storybook / Component Showcase (if applicable):** {URL}
## Overall Frontend Philosophy & Patterns
{ Describe the core architectural decisions and patterns chosen for the frontend. This should align with the "Definitive Tech Stack Selections" in the main architecture document. }
- **Framework & Core Libraries:** {e.g., React 18.x with Next.js 13.x, Angular 16.x, Vue 3.x with Nuxt.js. Briefly reiterate why these were chosen if not detailed enough in the main arch doc.}
- **Component Architecture:** {e.g., Atomic Design principles, Presentational vs. Container components, use of specific component libraries like Material UI, Tailwind CSS for styling approach.}
- **State Management Strategy:** {e.g., Redux Toolkit, Zustand, Vuex, NgRx. Briefly describe the overall approach – global store, feature stores, context API usage. More details in "State Management In-Depth" section.}
- **Data Flow:** {e.g., Unidirectional data flow, how data is fetched, passed to components, and updated.}
- **Styling Approach:** {e.g., CSS Modules, Styled Components, SCSS with BEM, Tailwind CSS. Link to configuration if applicable.}

### Notes on Frontend Structure:
{ Explain any specific conventions or rationale behind the structure. For example, "Components are co-located with their feature if not globally reusable." }
## Component Breakdown & Implementation Details
{ This section outlines the conventions and templates for defining UI components. While a few globally shared or foundational components (e.g., core UI elements if not from a library, main layout structures) might be specified here upfront to ensure consistency, the detailed specification for most feature-specific components will emerge as user stories are implemented. The key is for the development team (or AI agent) to follow the "Template for Component Specification" below whenever a new component is identified for development. }
### Component Naming & Organization
{ Briefly describe conventions for naming components (e.g., PascalCase, `feature-ComponentName.tsx`). How are components organized on the filesystem (reiterate from directory structure if needed)? Are components grouped by feature, type (UI, layout), etc.? }
### Template for Component Specification
{ For each significant UI component identified from the UI/UX Specification and design files (Figma), provide the following details. Repeat this subsection for each component. The level of detail should be sufficient for an AI agent or developer to implement it with minimal ambiguity. }
#### Component: `{ComponentName}` (e.g., `UserProfileCard`, `ProductDetailsView`)
- **Purpose:** {Briefly describe what this component does and its role in the UI.}
- **Source File(s):** {e.g., `src/components/user-profile/UserProfileCard.tsx`}
- **Visual Reference:** {Link to specific Figma frame/component, or Storybook page.}
- **Props (Properties):**
{ List each prop the component accepts. }
| Prop Name | Type | Required? | Default Value | Description |
| :-------------- | :--------------------------- | :-------- | :------------ | :---------------------------------------------- |
| `userId` | `string` | Yes | N/A | The ID of the user to display. |
| `avatarUrl` | `string` | No | `null` | URL for the user\'s avatar image. |
| `onEdit` | `() => void` | No | N/A | Callback function when an edit action is triggered. |
| `variant` | `\'compact\' \| \'full\'` | No | `\'full\'` | Controls the display mode of the card. |
| `{anotherProp}` | `{type (e.g., number, boolean, customType)}` | {Yes/No} | {If any} | {Description} |
- **Internal State (if any):**
{ Describe any significant internal state the component manages. Minor UI state (e.g., `isDropdownOpen`) might not need explicit listing unless complex. }
| State Variable | Type | Initial Value | Description |
| :-------------- | :--------- | :------------ | :-------------------------------------------- |
| `isLoading` | `boolean` | `false` | Tracks if data for the component is loading. |
| `{anotherState}`| `{type}` | `{value}` | {Description} |
- **Key UI Elements / Structure:**
{ Describe the main visual parts of the component and their general layout. This can be a brief textual description or a very simple pseudo-HTML structure. }
```html
<div> <!-- Main card container -->
<img> <!-- Avatar -->
<h2> <!-- User Name -->
<p> <!-- User Email -->
<button> <!-- Edit Button (if applicable) -->
</div>
```
- **Events Handled / Emitted:**
- **Handles:** {e.g., `onClick` on the edit button.}
- **Emits:** {If the component emits custom events, describe them. e.g., `onFollow: (userId: string) => void`}
- **Actions Triggered (Side Effects):**
- **State Management:** {e.g., "Dispatches `fetchUserDetails(userId)` action on mount." "Calls `userSlice.actions.setUserName(newName)`."}
- **API Calls:** {Specify which service/function from the "API Interaction Layer" is called. e.g., "Calls `userService.fetchUser(userId)`." What data is passed? How is the response (success/error) handled? How does it update internal state or global state?}
- **Styling Notes:**
- {Reference to Design System components used (e.g., "Uses `<Button variant=\'primary\'>` from UI library").}
- {Key CSS classes to be applied (if using traditional CSS/SCSS/Tailwind directly).}
- {Specific responsiveness behavior if not covered globally.}
- **Accessibility Notes:**
- {Specific ARIA attributes needed (e.g., `aria-label`, `role`).}
- {Keyboard navigation considerations for this component.}
---
_Repeat the above template for each significant component._
---
## State Management In-Depth
{ This section expands on the State Management strategy chosen and outlined in the main architecture document and the "Overall Frontend Philosophy". It defines the conventions for how state modules should be structured and implemented. While the overall approach and core store setup (if any) are defined here, detailed state slices, selectors, and actions/thunks for specific features will generally be developed emergently as those features are built, adhering to these established patterns. }
- **Chosen Solution:** {e.g., Redux Toolkit, Zustand, Vuex, NgRx - reiterate from main arch doc.}
- **Rationale (briefly, if not fully covered in main arch doc):** {Why was this solution chosen over alternatives for this specific project?}
### Store Structure / Slices
{ Describe the conventions for organizing the global state (e.g., "Each major feature requiring global state will have its own Redux slice located in `src/features/[featureName]/store.ts`"). A few core, application-wide slices (e.g., for session management, theme) might be defined upfront as examples or foundational pieces. }
- **Core Slice Example (e.g., `sessionSlice`):**
- **Purpose:** {Manages user session, authentication status, and basic user profile info accessible globally.}
- **State Shape:**
```typescript
interface SessionState {
currentUser: {
id: string;
name: string;
email: string;
roles: string[];
} | null;
isAuthenticated: boolean;
token: string | null;
status: "idle" | "loading" | "succeeded" | "failed";
error: string | null;
}
```
- **Key Reducers/Actions:** {Briefly list main actions, e.g., `setSession`, `clearSession`, `authLoading`, `authSuccess`, `authFailure`.}
- **Feature Slice Template (e.g., `{featureName}Slice`):**
- **Purpose:** {To be filled out when a new feature requires its own state slice.}
- **State Shape:** {To be defined by the feature.}
- **Key Reducers/Actions:** {To be defined by the feature.}
### Key Selectors
{ List important selectors for any core, upfront slices. For emergent feature slices, selectors will be defined with the slice. Conventions for creating selectors should be noted (e.g., use `createSelector` for memoization). }
- **`selectCurrentUser`:** {Returns the `currentUser` object from `sessionSlice`.}
- **`selectIsAuthenticated`:** {Returns `isAuthenticated` boolean from `sessionSlice`.}
- **`selectAuthToken`:** {Returns the `token` from `sessionSlice`.}
### Key Actions / Reducers / Thunks
{ Detail more complex actions for core, upfront slices, especially asynchronous thunks or sagas. For emergent feature slices, these will be defined with the slice, following these patterns. }
- **Core Action/Thunk Example: `authenticateUser(credentials: AuthCredentials)`**
- **Purpose:** {Handles user login by calling the auth API and updating the `sessionSlice`.}
- **Dispatch Flow:**
1. Dispatches `sessionSlice.actions.setStatus('loading')`.
2. Calls `authService.login(credentials)` (from API Interaction Layer).
3. On success: Dispatches `sessionSlice.actions.setSession(response.data)` (which includes user and token) and `sessionSlice.actions.setStatus('succeeded')`.
4. On error: Dispatches `sessionSlice.actions.setError(error.message)` and `sessionSlice.actions.setStatus('failed')`.
- **Feature Action/Thunk Template: `{featureActionName}`**
- **Purpose:** {To be filled out for feature-specific async operations.}
- **Dispatch Flow:** {To be defined by the feature, following similar patterns.}
## API Interaction Layer
{ Describe how the frontend communicates with the backend APIs defined in the main Architecture Document. The focus here is on establishing the foundational client setup and patterns for creating service abstractions. Specific service functions will often emerge as features are developed. }
### Client/Service Structure
- **HTTP Client Setup:** {e.g., Axios instance, Fetch wrapper. Base URL configuration, default headers (e.g., for Authorization from state), interceptors for request/response handling (e.g., error normalization, token refresh).}
- **Service Definitions (Example):**
- **`userService.ts`:**
- **Purpose:** {Handles all API interactions related to users.}
- **Functions:**
- `fetchUser(userId: string): Promise<User>`
- `updateUserProfile(userId: string, data: UserProfileUpdateDto): Promise<User>`
- **`productService.ts`:**
- **Purpose:** {...}
- **Functions:** {...}
### Error Handling & Retries (Frontend)
- **Global Error Handling:** {How are API errors caught and presented to the user globally (e.g., toast notifications)? Is there a global error state?}
- **Specific Error Handling:** {How might components handle specific API errors for more contextual feedback?}
- **Retry Logic:** {Is there any client-side retry logic for idempotent requests? If so, how is it configured?}
## Routing Strategy
{ Detail how navigation and routing are handled in the frontend application. }
- **Routing Library:** {e.g., React Router, Next.js App Router, Vue Router, Angular Router.}
### Route Definitions
{ List the main routes of the application and the primary component rendered for each. }
| Path Pattern | Component/Page | Protection | Notes |
| :--------------------- | :---------------------------- | :------------ | :---------------------------------- |
| `/` | `HomePage.tsx` | Public | |
| `/login` | `LoginPage.tsx` | Public | Redirects if already authenticated. |
| `/dashboard` | `DashboardPage.tsx` | Authenticated | |
| `/products` | `ProductListPage.tsx` | Public | |
| `/products/:productId` | `ProductDetailsPage.tsx` | Public | |
| `/settings/profile` | `UserProfileSettingsPage.tsx` | Authenticated | |
| `{anotherRoute}` | `{Component}` | {Type} | {Notes} |
### Route Guards / Protection
- **Authentication Guard:** {Describe how routes are protected based on authentication status. e.g., A Higher-Order Component, a specific router hook.}
- **Authorization Guard (if applicable):** {Describe how routes might be protected based on user roles or permissions.}
## Build, Bundling, and Deployment
{ Details specific to the frontend build and deployment process, complementing the "Infrastructure and Deployment Overview" in the main architecture document. }
### Build Process & Scripts
- **Key Build Scripts:** {e.g., `npm run build`, `yarn build`. What do they do? Point to `package.json` scripts.}
- **Environment Variables Handling during Build:** {How are `process.env` variables (e.g., `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL`) managed for different environments (dev, staging, prod)?}
### Key Bundling Optimizations
- **Code Splitting:** {How is it implemented? e.g., Route-based, component-based using dynamic imports.}
- **Tree Shaking:** {Ensured by build tools?}
- **Lazy Loading:** {Strategy for lazy loading components, images, or routes.}
- **Minification & Compression:** {Handled by build tools (e.g., Webpack, Vite, Next.js build)?}
### Deployment to CDN/Hosting
- **Target Platform:** {e.g., Vercel, Netlify, AWS S3/CloudFront, Azure Static Web Apps.}
- **Deployment Trigger:** {e.g., Git push to main branch via GitHub Actions (referencing main CI/CD).}
- **Asset Caching Strategy:** {How are static assets cached by the CDN/browser?}
## Frontend Testing Strategy
{ This section elaborates on the "Testing Strategy" from the main architecture document, focusing on frontend-specific aspects. }
- **Link to Main Testing Strategy:** {Reference the main `docs/testing-strategy.md` or architecture doc section.}
### Component Testing
- **Scope:** {Testing individual UI components in isolation (similar to unit tests for components).}
- **Tools:** {e.g., React Testing Library, Jest, Vitest, Vue Test Utils, Angular Testing Utilities.}
- **Focus:** {Rendering, props handling, basic interactions, event emission, visual snapshot testing (optional).}
- **Location:** {e.g., `*.test.tsx` or `*.spec.tsx` alongside components.}
### UI Integration/Flow Testing
- **Scope:** {Testing how multiple components interact to fulfill a small user flow within a page or feature, potentially mocking API calls or state management.}
- **Tools:** {Same as component testing, but with more complex setups.}
- **Focus:** {Data flow between components, conditional rendering based on interactions, navigation within a feature.}
### End-to-End UI Testing Tools & Scope
- **Tools:** {Reiterate from main Testing Strategy, e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium.}
- **Scope (Frontend Focus):** {Define key user journeys that will be covered by E2E UI tests. e.g., User registration, adding item to cart, completing checkout.}
- **Test Data Management for UI:** {How is consistent test data ensured for UI E2E tests?}
## Accessibility (AX) Implementation Details
{ Based on the AX requirements in the UI/UX Specification, detail how these will be technically implemented. }
- **Semantic HTML:** {Emphasis on using correct HTML5 elements.}
- **ARIA Implementation:** {Specific ARIA roles, states, and properties for custom/complex components.}
- **Keyboard Navigation:** {Ensuring all interactive elements are focusable and operable via keyboard.}
- **Focus Management:** {How is focus managed in modals, dynamic content changes?}
- **Testing Tools for AX:** {e.g., Axe DevTools, Lighthouse, manual testing procedures.}
## Performance Considerations
{ Highlight frontend-specific performance optimization strategies. }
- **Image Optimization:** {Formats (e.g., WebP), responsive images (`<picture>`, `srcset`), lazy loading.}
- **Code Splitting & Lazy Loading (reiterate from Build section if needed):** {How it impacts perceived performance.}
- **Minimizing Re-renders:** {Techniques like `React.memo`, `shouldComponentUpdate`, optimized selectors.}
- **Debouncing/Throttling:** {For event handlers like search input or window resize.}
- **Virtualization:** {For long lists or large data sets (e.g., React Virtualized, TanStack Virtual).}
- **Caching Strategies (Client-Side):** {Use of browser cache, service workers for PWA capabilities (if applicable).}
- **Performance Monitoring Tools:** {e.g., Lighthouse, WebPageTest, browser DevTools performance tab.}

## User Interaction and Design Goals
If there is a UX/UI Component, we want to work with the user to elicit enough information to detail the UI look and feel, screens, interaction, functionality so that we can produce the UI as needed.
{
If the product includes a User Interface (UI), this section captures the Product Manager's high-level vision and goals for the User Experience (UX). This information will serve as a crucial starting point and brief for the Design Architect.
Consider and elicit information from the user regarding:
- **Overall Vision & Experience:** What is the desired look and feel (e.g., "modern and minimalist," "friendly and approachable," "data-intensive and professional")? What kind of experience should users have?
- **Key Interaction Paradigms:** Are there specific ways users will interact with core features (e.g., "drag-and-drop interface for X," "wizard-style setup for Y," "real-time dashboard for Z")?
- **Core Screens/Views (Conceptual):** From a product perspective, what are the most critical screens or views necessary to deliver the MVP's value? (e.g., "Login Screen," "Main Dashboard," "Item Detail Page," "Settings Page").
- **Accessibility Aspirations:** Any known high-level accessibility goals (e.g., "must be usable by screen reader users").
- **Branding Considerations (High-Level):** Any known branding elements or style guides that must be incorporated?
- **Target Devices/Platforms:** (e.g., "primarily web desktop," "mobile-first responsive web app").
This section is not intended to be a detailed UI specification but rather a product-focused brief to guide the subsequent detailed work by the Design Architect, who will create the comprehensive UI/UX Specification document.
