-
-Please perform a thorough code review of the changes made in this feature. Focus on:
-
-### Code Quality
-- **Readability**: Is the code easy to understand? Are variable/function names descriptive?
-- **Maintainability**: Will this code be easy to modify in the future?
-- **DRY Principle**: Is there any duplicated code that should be abstracted?
-- **Single Responsibility**: Do functions and classes have a single, clear purpose?
-
-### Best Practices
-- Follow established patterns and conventions used in the codebase
-- Ensure proper error handling is in place
-- Check for appropriate logging where needed
-- Verify that magic numbers/strings are replaced with named constants
-
-### Performance
-- Identify any potential performance bottlenecks
-- Check for unnecessary re-renders (React) or redundant computations
-- Ensure efficient data structures are used
-
-### Testing
-- Verify that new code has appropriate test coverage
-- Check that edge cases are handled
-
-### Action Required
-After reviewing, make any necessary improvements directly. If you find issues:
-1. Fix them immediately if they are straightforward
-2. For complex issues, document them clearly with suggested solutions

-- Remove unnecessary computations or redundant operations
-- Optimize loops and iterations
-- Use appropriate data structures
-
-### Memory Usage
-- Check for memory leaks
-- Optimize memory-intensive operations
-- Ensure proper cleanup of resources
-
-### Database/API
-- Optimize database queries (add indexes, reduce N+1 queries)
-- Implement caching where appropriate
-- Batch API calls when possible
-
-### Frontend (if applicable)
-- Minimize bundle size
-- Optimize render performance
-- Implement lazy loading where appropriate
-- Use memoization for expensive computations

+
+# ⚠️ CRITICAL REQUIREMENT: YOU MUST UPDATE THE CODE ⚠️
+
+**THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL. AFTER REVIEWING, YOU MUST MODIFY THE CODE WITH YOUR FINDINGS.**
+
+This step has TWO mandatory phases:
+1. **REVIEW** the code (identify issues)
+2. **UPDATE** the code (fix the issues you found)
+
+**You cannot complete this step by only reviewing. You MUST make code changes based on your review findings.**
+
+---
+
+### Phase 1: Review Phase
+Perform a thorough code review of the changes made in this feature. Focus on:
+
+#### Code Quality
+- **Readability**: Is the code easy to understand? Are variable/function names descriptive?
+- **Maintainability**: Will this code be easy to modify in the future?
+- **DRY Principle**: Is there any duplicated code that should be abstracted?
+- **Single Responsibility**: Do functions and classes have a single, clear purpose?
+
+#### Best Practices
+- Follow established patterns and conventions used in the codebase
+- Ensure proper error handling is in place
+- Check for appropriate logging where needed
+- Verify that magic numbers/strings are replaced with named constants
+
+#### Performance
+- Identify any potential performance bottlenecks
+- Check for unnecessary re-renders (React) or redundant computations
+- Ensure efficient data structures are used
+
+#### Testing
+- Verify that new code has appropriate test coverage
+- Check that edge cases are handled
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: Update Phase - ⚠️ MANDATORY ACTION REQUIRED ⚠️
+
+**YOU MUST NOW MODIFY THE CODE BASED ON YOUR REVIEW FINDINGS.**
+
+**This is not optional. Every issue you identify must be addressed with code changes.**
+
+#### Action Steps (You MUST complete these):
+
+1. **Fix Issues Immediately**: For every issue you found during review:
+   - ✅ Refactor code for better readability
+   - ✅ Extract duplicated code into reusable functions
+   - ✅ Improve variable/function names for clarity
+   - ✅ Add missing error handling
+   - ✅ Replace magic numbers/strings with named constants
+   - ✅ Optimize performance bottlenecks
+   - ✅ Fix any code quality issues you identify
+   - ✅ **MAKE THE ACTUAL CODE CHANGES - DO NOT JUST DOCUMENT THEM**
+
+2. **Apply All Improvements**: Don't just identify problems - fix them in code:
+   - ✅ Improve code structure and organization
+   - ✅ Enhance error handling and logging
+   - ✅ Optimize performance where possible
+   - ✅ Ensure consistency with codebase patterns
+   - ✅ Add or improve comments where needed
+   - ✅ **MODIFY THE FILES DIRECTLY WITH YOUR IMPROVEMENTS**
+
+3. **For Complex Issues**: If you encounter issues that require significant refactoring:
+   - ✅ Make the improvements you can make safely
+   - ✅ Document remaining issues with clear explanations
+   - ✅ Provide specific suggestions for future improvements
+   - ✅ **STILL MAKE AS MANY CODE CHANGES AS POSSIBLE**
+
+---
+
+### Summary Required
+After completing BOTH review AND update phases, provide:
+- A summary of issues found during review
+- **A detailed list of ALL code changes and improvements made (this proves you updated the code)**
+- Any remaining issues that need attention (if applicable)
+
+---
+
+# ⚠️ FINAL REMINDER ⚠️
+
+**Reviewing without updating is INCOMPLETE and UNACCEPTABLE.**
+
+**You MUST modify the code files directly with your improvements.**
+**You MUST show evidence of code changes in your summary.**
+**This step is only complete when code has been updated.**`,

+# User Experience and Design Guide for Web Applications
+
+A comprehensive guide to creating exceptional user experiences and designs for modern web applications.
+
+## Core UX Principles
+
+### 1. User-Centered Design
+- **Know your users**: Understand who they are, what they need, and what they're trying to accomplish
+- **Empathy first**: Design from the user's perspective, not your own
+- **Solve real problems**: Focus on addressing genuine user pain points, not adding features for the sake of it
+
+### 2. Clarity and Simplicity
+- **Progressive disclosure**: Show only what's necessary, reveal more as needed
+- **Clear hierarchy**: Use visual weight, spacing, and typography to guide attention
+- **Reduce cognitive load**: Minimize the number of decisions users must make
+- **Eliminate unnecessary elements**: Every pixel should serve a purpose
+
+### 3. Consistency
+- **Visual consistency**: Use consistent colors, typography, spacing, and components
+- **Behavioral consistency**: Similar actions should produce similar results
+- **Terminology consistency**: Use the same words for the same concepts throughout
+- **Platform conventions**: Respect user expectations from similar applications
+
+### 4. Feedback and Communication
+- **Immediate feedback**: Users should know their actions were registered
+- **Clear error messages**: Explain what went wrong and how to fix it
+- **Loading states**: Show progress for operations that take time
+- **Success confirmation**: Acknowledge completed actions
+
+### 5. Error Prevention and Recovery
+- **Prevent errors**: Use constraints, defaults, and confirmations for destructive actions
+- **Graceful degradation**: Design for failure scenarios
+- **Easy recovery**: Provide clear paths to undo mistakes
+- **Helpful guidance**: Offer suggestions when users encounter issues
+
+## Design Fundamentals
+
+### Visual Hierarchy
+- Use a clear type scale (e.g., 12px, 14px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px)
+- Maintain consistent line heights (1.5-1.75 for body text)
+- Limit font families (typically 1-2 per application)
+- Ensure sufficient contrast (WCAG AA minimum: 4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text)
+- Establish a clear color palette with semantic meaning
+- Use consistent spacing scale (4px or 8px base unit recommended)
+- Group related elements with proximity
+- Use whitespace to create breathing room
+
+### Component Design
+- **Buttons**: Clear visual hierarchy (primary, secondary, tertiary), appropriate sizing for touch targets (minimum 44x44px), clear labels, loading states for async actions
+- **Forms**: Clear labels and helpful placeholder text, inline validation when possible, group related fields, show required vs optional clearly, provide helpful error messages
+- **Navigation**: Consistent placement and behavior, clear current location indicators, breadcrumbs for deep hierarchies, search functionality for large sites
+- **Data Display**: Use tables for structured, comparable data, use cards for varied content types, pagination or infinite scroll for long lists, empty states that guide users, loading skeletons that match content structure
+
+## Accessibility (WCAG 2.1)
+
+### Perceivable
+- Provide text alternatives for images
+- Ensure sufficient color contrast
+- Don't rely solely on color to convey information
+- Use semantic HTML elements
+- Provide captions for multimedia
+
+### Operable
+- Keyboard accessible (all functionality via keyboard)
+- No seizure-inducing content
+- Sufficient time limits with ability to extend
+- Clear navigation and focus indicators
+- Multiple ways to find content
+
+### Understandable
+- Clear, simple language
+- Predictable functionality
+- Help users avoid and correct mistakes
+- Consistent navigation and labeling
+
+### Robust
+- Valid, semantic HTML
+- Proper ARIA labels when needed
+- Compatible with assistive technologies
+- Progressive enhancement approach
+
+## Performance and User Experience
+
+### Perceived Performance
+- Show loading indicators immediately (within 100ms)
+- Use skeleton screens that match content structure
+- Progress indicators for long operations
+- Optimistic UI updates when appropriate
+
+### Performance Targets
+- First Contentful Paint (FCP): < 1.8 seconds
+- Time to Interactive (TTI): < 3.8 seconds
+- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): < 2.5 seconds
+
+### Performance Best Practices
+- Image optimization: Use modern formats (WebP, AVIF), proper sizing, lazy loading
+- Code splitting: Load only what's needed for each route
+- Caching: Implement appropriate caching strategies
+- Minimize HTTP requests: Combine files, use sprites when appropriate
+- Debounce/throttle: Limit expensive operations (search, scroll handlers)
+
+## Responsive Design
+
+### Mobile-First Approach
+- Mobile: < 640px
+- Tablet: 640px - 1024px
+- Desktop: > 1024px
+- Large desktop: > 1280px
+
+### Key Considerations
+- Touch targets: Minimum 44x44px
+- Readable text without zooming
+- Horizontal scrolling avoided
+- Forms optimized for mobile input
+- Navigation patterns adapted for small screens
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Empty States
+- Friendly, helpful messaging
+- Clear call-to-action
+- Illustrations or icons
+- Guidance on what to do next
+
+### Error States
+- Clear error message
+- Explanation of what went wrong
+- Actionable next steps
+- Option to retry or get help
+
+### Loading States
+- Immediate feedback
+- Skeleton screens matching content
+- Progress indicators for known duration
+- Optimistic updates when possible
+
+### Success States
+- Clear confirmation
+- Next steps or related actions
+- Option to undo if applicable
+- Celebration for major milestones
+
+## Modern Web App Considerations
+
+### Progressive Web Apps (PWA)
+- Service workers for offline functionality
+- App-like experience
+- Installable to home screen
+- Push notifications (with permission)
+- Fast loading and responsive
+
+### Dark Mode
+- Provide user preference toggle
+- Respect system preferences
+- Maintain contrast ratios
+- Test all components in both modes
+- Smooth transitions between modes
+
+### Micro-interactions
+- Provide feedback
+- Guide attention
+- Delight users
+- Communicate state changes
+- Use CSS transforms and opacity for smooth animations
+- Duration: 200-300ms for UI transitions, 300-500ms for page transitions
+- Respect \`prefers-reduced-motion\` media query
+
+### AI & Conversational Interfaces
+- **Streaming Responses**: Show text as it generates to reduce perceived latency
+- **Feedback Loops**: Allow users to rate or correct AI outputs
+- **Context Awareness**: Reference previous interactions seamlessly
+- **Trust & Transparency**: Clearly indicate when content is AI-generated
+- **Guided Inputs**: Use chips, templates, or suggestions to help users form queries
+- **Editable History**: Allow users to refine previous prompts without starting over
+
