-## 2. State Management Selection
-
-### React Native State Decision
-
-```
-WHAT'S YOUR STATE COMPLEXITY?
-        │
-        ├── Simple app, few screens, minimal shared state
-        │   │
-        │   └── Zustand (or just useState/Context)
-        │       ├── Minimal boilerplate
-        │       ├── Easy to understand
-        │       └── Scales OK to medium
-        │
-        ├── Primarily server data (API-driven)
-        │   │
-        │   └── TanStack Query (React Query) + Zustand
-        │       ├── Query for server state
-        │       ├── Zustand for UI state
-        │       └── Excellent caching, refetching
-        │
-        ├── Complex app with many features
-        │   │
-        │   └── Redux Toolkit + RTK Query
-        │       ├── Predicable, debuggable
-        │       ├── RTK Query for API
-        │       └── Good for large teams
-        │
-        └── Atomic, granular state needs
-            │
-            └── Jotai
-                ├── Atom-based (like Recoil)
-                ├── Minimizes re-renders
-                └── Good for derived state
-```
-
-### Flutter State Decision
-
-```
-WHAT'S YOUR STATE COMPLEXITY?
-        │
-        ├── Simple app, learning Flutter
-        │   │
-        │   └── Provider (or setState)
-        │       ├── Official, simple
-        │       ├── Built into Flutter
-        │       └── Good for small apps
-        │
-        ├── Modern, type-safe, testable
-        │   │
-        │   └── Riverpod 2.0
-        │       ├── Compile-time safety
-        │       ├── Code generation
-        │       ├── Excellent for medium-large apps
-        │       └── Recommended for new projects
-        │
-        ├── Enterprise, strict patterns needed
-        │   │
-        │   └── BLoC
-        │       ├── Event → State pattern
-        │       ├── Very testable
-        │       ├── More boilerplate
-        │       └── Good for large teams
-        │
-        └── Quick prototyping
-            │
-            └── GetX (with caution)
-                ├── Fast to implement
-                ├── Less strict patterns
-                └── Can become messy at scale
-```
-
-### State Management Anti-Patterns
-
-```
-❌ DON'T:
-├── Use global state for everything
-├── Mix state management approaches
-├── Store server state in local state
-├── Skip state normalization
-├── Overuse Context (re-render heavy)
-└── Put navigation state in app state
-
-✅ DO:
-├── Server state → Query library
-├── UI state → Minimal, local first
-├── Lift state only when needed
-├── Choose ONE approach per project
-└── Keep state close to where it's used
-```
-
----
-
-## 3. Navigation Pattern Selection
-
-```
-HOW MANY TOP-LEVEL DESTINATIONS?
-        │
-        ├── 2 destinations
-        │   └── Consider: Top tabs or simple stack
-        │
-        ├── 3-5 destinations (equal importance)
-        │   └── ✅ Tab Bar / Bottom Navigation
-        │       ├── Most common pattern
-        │       └── Easy discovery
-        │
-        ├── 5+ destinations
-        │   │
-        │   ├── All important → Drawer Navigation
-        │   │                   └── Hidden but many options
-        │   │
-        │   └── Some less important → Tab bar + drawer hybrid
-        │
-        └── Single linear flow?
-            └── Stack Navigation only
-                └── Onboarding, checkout, etc.
-```
-
-### Navigation by App Type
-
-| App Type | Pattern | Reason |
-|----------|---------|--------|
-| Social (Instagram) | Tab bar | Frequent switching |
-| E-commerce | Tab bar + stack | Categories as tabs |
-| Email (Gmail) | Drawer + list-detail | Many folders |
-| Settings | Stack only | Deep drill-down |
-| Onboarding | Stack wizard | Linear flow |
-| Messaging | Tab (chats) + stack | Threads |
-
----
-
-## 4. Storage Strategy Selection
-
-```
-WHAT TYPE OF DATA?
-        │
-        ├── Sensitive (tokens, passwords, keys)
-        │   │
-        │   └── ✅ Secure Storage
-        │       ├── iOS: Keychain
-        │       ├── Android: EncryptedSharedPreferences
-        │       └── RN: expo-secure-store / react-native-keychain
-        │
-        ├── User preferences (settings, theme)
-        │   │
-        │   └── ✅ Key-Value Storage
-        │       ├── iOS: UserDefaults
-        │       ├── Android: SharedPreferences
-        │       └── RN: AsyncStorage / MMKV
-        │
-        ├── Structured data (entities, relationships)
-        │   │
-        │   └── ✅ Database
-        │       ├── SQLite (expo-sqlite, sqflite)
-        │       ├── Realm (NoSQL, reactive)
-        │       └── WatermelonDB (large datasets)
-        │
-        ├── Large files (images, documents)
-        │   │
-        │   └── ✅ File System
-        │       ├── iOS: Documents / Caches directory
-        │       ├── Android: Internal/External storage
-        │       └── RN: react-native-fs / expo-file-system
-        │
-        └── Cached API data
-            │
-            └── ✅ Query Library Cache
-                ├── TanStack Query (RN)
-                ├── Riverpod async (Flutter)
-                └── Automatic invalidation
-```
-
-### Storage Comparison
-
-| Storage | Speed | Security | Capacity | Use Case |
-|---------|-------|----------|----------|----------|
-| Secure Storage | Medium | 🔒 High | Small | Tokens, secrets |
-| Key-Value | Fast | Low | Medium | Settings |
-| SQLite | Fast | Low | Large | Structured data |
-| File System | Medium | Low | Very Large | Media, documents |
-| Query Cache | Fast | Low | Medium | API responses |

-
-## 5. Offline Strategy Selection
-
-```
-HOW CRITICAL IS OFFLINE?
-        │
-        ├── Nice to have (works when possible)
-        │   │
-        │   └── Cache last data + show stale
-        │       ├── Simple implementation
-        │       ├── TanStack Query with staleTime
-        │       └── Show "last updated" timestamp
-        │
-        ├── Essential (core functionality offline)
-        │   │
-        │   └── Offline-first architecture
-        │       ├── Local database as source of truth
-        │       ├── Sync to server when online
-        │       ├── Conflict resolution strategy
-        │       └── Queue actions for later sync
-        │
-        └── Real-time critical (collaboration, chat)
-            │
-            └── WebSocket + local queue
-                ├── Optimistic updates
-                ├── Eventual consistency
-                └── Complex conflict handling
-```
-
-### Offline Implementation Patterns
-
-```
-1. CACHE-FIRST (Simple)
-   Request → Check cache → If stale, fetch → Update cache
-   
-2. STALE-WHILE-REVALIDATE
-   Request → Return cached → Fetch update → Update UI
-   
-3. OFFLINE-FIRST (Complex)
-   Action → Write to local DB → Queue sync → Sync when online
-   
-4. SYNC ENGINE
-   Use: Firebase, Realm Sync, Supabase realtime
-   Handles conflict resolution automatically
-```
-
----
-
-## 6. Authentication Pattern Selection
-
-```
-WHAT AUTH TYPE NEEDED?
-        │
-        ├── Simple email/password
-        │   │
-        │   └── Token-based (JWT)
-        │       ├── Store refresh token securely
-        │       ├── Access token in memory
-        │       └── Silent refresh flow
-        │
-        ├── Social login (Google, Apple, etc.)
-        │   │
-        │   └── OAuth 2.0 + PKCE
-        │       ├── Use platform SDKs
-        │       ├── Deep link callback
-        │       └── Apple Sign-In required for iOS
-        │
-        ├── Enterprise/SSO
-        │   │
-        │   └── OIDC / SAML
-        │       ├── Web view or system browser
-        │       └── Handle redirect properly
-        │
-        └── Biometric (FaceID, fingerprint)
-            │
-            └── Local auth + secure token
-                ├── Biometrics unlock stored token
-                ├── Not a replacement for server auth
-                └── Fallback to PIN/password
-```
-
-### Auth Token Storage
-
-```
-❌ NEVER store tokens in:
-├── AsyncStorage (plain text)
-├── Redux/state (not persisted correctly)
-├── Local storage equivalent
-└── Logs or debug output
-
-✅ ALWAYS store tokens in:
-├── iOS: Keychain
-├── Android: EncryptedSharedPreferences
-├── Expo: SecureStore
-├── Biometric-protected if available
-```
-
----
-
-## 7. Project Type Templates
-
-### E-Commerce App
-
-```
-RECOMMENDED STACK:
-├── Framework: React Native + Expo (OTA for pricing)
-├── Navigation: Tab bar (Home, Search, Cart, Account)
-├── State: TanStack Query (products) + Zustand (cart)
-├── Storage: SecureStore (auth) + SQLite (cart cache)
-├── Offline: Cache products, queue cart actions
-└── Auth: Email/password + Social + Apple Pay
-
-KEY DECISIONS:
-├── Product images: Lazy load, cache aggressively
-├── Cart: Sync across devices via API
-├── Checkout: Secure, minimal steps
-└── Deep links: Product shares, marketing
-```
-
-### Social/Content App
-
-```
-RECOMMENDED STACK:
-├── Framework: React Native or Flutter
-├── Navigation: Tab bar (Feed, Search, Create, Notifications, Profile)
-├── State: TanStack Query (feed) + Zustand (UI)
-├── Storage: SQLite (feed cache, drafts)
-├── Offline: Cache feed, queue posts
-└── Auth: Social login primary, Apple required
-
-KEY DECISIONS:
-├── Feed: Infinite scroll, memoized items
-├── Media: Upload queuing, background upload
-├── Push: Deep link to content
-└── Real-time: WebSocket for notifications
-```
-
-### Productivity/SaaS App
-
-```
-RECOMMENDED STACK:
-├── Framework: Flutter (consistent UI) or RN
-├── Navigation: Drawer or Tab bar
-├── State: Riverpod/BLoC or Redux Toolkit
-├── Storage: SQLite (offline), SecureStore (auth)
-├── Offline: Full offline editing, sync
-└── Auth: SSO/OIDC for enterprise
-
-KEY DECISIONS:
-├── Data sync: Conflict resolution strategy
-├── Collaborative: Real-time or eventual?
-├── Files: Large file handling
-└── Enterprise: MDM, compliance
-```

-
-## 8. Decision Checklist
-
-### Before Starting ANY Project
-
-- [ ] Target platforms defined (iOS/Android/both)?
-- [ ] Framework selected based on criteria?
-- [ ] State management approach chosen?
-- [ ] Navigation pattern selected?
-- [ ] Storage strategy for each data type?
-- [ ] Offline requirements defined?
-- [ ] Auth flow designed?
-- [ ] Deep linking planned from start?
-
-### Questions to Ask User
-
-```
-If project details are vague, ASK:
-
-1. "Will this need OTA updates without app store review?"
-   → Affects framework choice (Expo = yes)
-
-2. "Do iOS and Android need identical UI?"
-   → Affects framework (Flutter = identical)
-
-3. "What's the offline requirement?"
-   → Affects architecture complexity
-
-4. "Is there an existing backend/auth system?"
-   → Affects auth and API approach
-
-5. "What devices? Phone only, or tablet?"
-   → Affects navigation and layout
-
-6. "Enterprise or consumer?"
-   → Affects auth (SSO), security, compliance
-```

-## 9. Anti-Pattern Decisions
-
-### ❌ Decision Anti-Patterns
-
-| Anti-Pattern | Why It's Bad | Better Approach |
-|--------------|--------------|-----------------|
-| **Redux for simple app** | Massive overkill | Zustand or context |
-| **Native for MVP** | Slow development | Cross-platform MVP |
-| **Drawer for 3 sections** | Hidden navigation | Tab bar |
-| **AsyncStorage for tokens** | Insecure | SecureStore |
-| **No offline consideration** | Broken on subway | Plan from start |
-| **Same stack for all projects** | Doesn't fit context | Evaluate per project |
-
