+# Component details
+
+## Feedback and continuity
+
+Give a button clear pressed and pending states. Keep the control available
+according to the action's actual lifecycle; decorative motion should not add
+latency. Scale can provide press feedback when it does not compromise text or
+hit targets.
+
+For related tooltips in a toolbar, consider a shared delay policy: delay the
+first discovery, then let nearby tooltips appear promptly as the user explores.
+Keep hoverable surfaces reachable across small gaps and usable by keyboard.
+
+For toasts and other transient content, consider pausing dismissal while the
+user interacts or the page is hidden. Repeated additions and dismissals must
+preserve readable order and stable pointer targets.
+
+## Defaults and API design
+
+Choose useful defaults before adding options. Expose variations that represent
+real product needs. Keep the public API simple without concealing ownership or
+introducing global state that conflicts with the application architecture.
+
+Use realistic content to judge density, alignment, wrapping, and truncation.
+Compare populated, empty, pending, error, and overflow states when they are
+relevant to the component. Retain focus and selection through updates.
+
+## Evaluate
+
+Exercise the flow at normal speed before slow inspection. Compare against the
+rest of the product. If two presentations are both viable and the user wants
+exploration, use a small set of working prototypes with explicit tradeoffs.
+Do not turn a small polish task into a mandatory redesign or multi-day review.

+# Explore UI alternatives
+
+Build distinct responses to the requested brief. Keep the exploration separate
+from production integration until the user chooses or delegates the choice.
+
+## Alternatives
+
+Identify the component's job, surrounding UI, existing tokens, and important
+interaction states. Choose a small set of directions that differ in layout,
+density, hierarchy, or interaction. Three is a useful starting point, not a quota.
+Name the distinction so the user knows what each alternative explores.
+
+Build in an isolated route or page when there is a project, or in a standalone
+artifact when appropriate. Make relevant interactions work with realistic
+content. Use the same surrounding context to make comparison meaningful.
+
+Run the alternatives and check the interactions and console. Capture useful
+evidence when tools permit. Present the picker with a short explanation of
+each direction's tradeoff. Leave the selection to the user unless they have
+already asked you to choose.
+
+## Comparison control
+
+Use a compact, accessible selector that stays clear of the work. Render one
+alternative at full size unless side-by-side comparison better serves the
+request. Make the active selection explicit to sighted and assistive users.
+
+Provide buttons and optionally number or arrow shortcuts. Ignore shortcuts
+while the user edits an input or holds a modifier. Keep the selector usable by
+keyboard, show focus, and give each alternative a descriptive name.
+
+Preserve selection across reload when useful, for example with a validated URL
+parameter. Invalid or missing selections fall back to a valid alternative.
+Switch promptly; avoid adding a transition that obscures the differences.
+
+Add replay only for motion that needs it. Define whether changing alternatives
+resets their interaction state; use a keyed remount when reset is intended.
+Adapt appearance to the project and ensure the picker never covers the behavior
+being evaluated.
+
+## Promote a selection
+
+Integrate the selected design using the repository's existing component,
+state, and style ownership. Preserve the chosen behavior and verify it in the
+real destination. The prototype may have simplified data or lifecycle handling
+that needs the application's established implementation.
+
+Remove temporary alternatives and the picker after integration unless the user
+wants them retained. For another exploration round, keep useful infrastructure
+and vary the chosen direction according to the new brief.

+# Theme ownership
+
+Inspect the existing theme preference, CSS selector, document bootstrap, and
+server rendering path before choosing a library. Reuse that implementation
+when it already supports the requested behavior.
+
+For our Effect Atom and TanStack applications, keep the shared preference in
+the existing atom or settings service. Let one document integration apply the
+resolved theme. Avoid introducing another state provider for the same value.
+
+Distinguish the saved preference, such as light, dark, or system, from the
+resolved color scheme. A system preference should continue following system
+changes. Use the project's existing persistence and SSR conventions to make
+first paint agree with hydration. A browser-only preference needs an appropriate
+pre-paint bootstrap; a server-readable preference must still handle first visits
+and system settings. Verify reload, navigation, and preference changes.
+
+`next-themes` has React and React DOM peer dependencies, not a Next.js runtime
+dependency. It can be considered when a project wants its behavior, but is not
+our blanket default. Check how its provider and injected script fit the actual
+SSR setup rather than copying Next.js layout instructions into TanStack Start.
+See the [package metadata](https://github.com/pacocoursey/next-themes/blob/main/next-themes/package.json)
+and [official usage guide](https://github.com/pacocoursey/next-themes).

-3. Present the material file, dependency, and command changes before broad or

-4. Implement against current installed APIs and local documentation. When the

-   writing Effect code and follow its relevant references.
-5. Run the repository's command authority and exercise the changed behavior.

+- Derive clients from the shared HTTP contract. Change contracts and server

+- Declare cross-query invalidation as mutation reactivity keys. Queries and
+  mutations that must invalidate each other need the same Reactivity instance.
+- Compose multi-step actions in workflow atoms. Return Promise-mode dispatch
+  directly to a component with a Promise-shaped contract; put success, failure,
+  and sequencing logic in the Effect workflow.
+- Keep optimistic state with the workflow that writes it, keyed by entity where
+  needed. Preserve ordinary controlled inputs and view-local toggles in React.
+- Reuse the application's state layer instead of introducing another query or
+  shared-state library for a single component.

+Follow the repository's command authority and testing policy. Exercise the
+changed user flow and the relevant invalidation or lifecycle behavior. Reuse
+existing checks; changed atoms do not by themselves justify committed tests.

+# Effect scripts and CLIs
+
+Use Effect for new executable TypeScript scripts in an Effect repository.
+For an existing script, follow repository policy and the requested scope.
+A small maintenance edit does not require converting the whole script;
+undertake that migration when requested or necessary for the change.
+
+When changing Effect behavior, read `node_modules/effect/AGENTS.md` and the
+relevant CLI or process reference. A help-text-only edit in an existing script
+needs its declared entrypoint and help output; it does not require API research.
+Use installed signatures and sibling Effect programs when implementing behavior.

+- Executable startup, import safety, or verification:
+  [entrypoints and testing](entrypoints-and-testing.md).
+
+## Boundaries
+
+Use Effect platform services for capabilities. When a required capability is
+missing, isolate the runtime call in a typed Effect adapter. Keep fixed scripts
+simple; they need no command tree when they expose no public command syntax.
+
+Arguments and flags own CLI input; schemas own structured input and output.
+Handlers adapt input and presentation, services own application behavior, and
+Layers supply capabilities. One executable edge owns the runtime and signals.
+Keep expected failures typed and preserve a nonzero exit for failure.
+
+Keep stdout stable for machine-readable output and send diagnostics elsewhere.
+Automation must be able to supply required inputs without a terminal. For
+consequential mutations, expose a preview or dry-run when useful and honor
+existing authorization. Prompt only on intentionally interactive paths.
+
+Verify through the declared entrypoint with the repository's command authority.
+Test only the changed behavior and follow repository policy for committed tests.

+# Set up Effect

+Inspect the package boundaries and existing Effect version first. Use the
+repository's package manager and version policy to add Effect where it is
+needed. In a monorepo, make its source and instructions available at the root
+when that is how agents inspect installed APIs. Avoid an unrelated upgrade or
+copying a package-manager command from a different project.
+
+Ensure repository agent instructions direct Effect work to the installed
+`node_modules/effect/AGENTS.md`, require reading it completely before writing
+Effect code, and follow its relevant links. For APIs not covered there, consult
+`node_modules/effect/src`.
+
+Preserve existing agent guidance and keep one pointer to the installed source
+instead of copying library instructions into the repository.
