-# Frontend UI Engineering
-
-## Overview
-
-Build production-quality user interfaces that are accessible, performant, and visually polished. The goal is UI that looks like it was built by a design-aware engineer at a top company — not like it was generated by an AI. This means real design system adherence, proper accessibility, thoughtful interaction patterns, and no generic "AI aesthetic."
-
-## When to Use
-
-- Building new UI components or pages
-- Modifying existing user-facing interfaces
-- Implementing responsive layouts
-- Adding interactivity or state management
-- Fixing visual or UX issues
-
-## Component Architecture
-
-### File Structure
-
-Colocate everything related to a component:
-
-```
-src/components/
-  TaskList/
-    TaskList.tsx          # Component implementation
-    TaskList.test.tsx     # Tests
-    TaskList.stories.tsx  # Storybook stories (if using)
-    use-task-list.ts      # Custom hook (if complex state)
-    types.ts              # Component-specific types (if needed)
-```
-
-### Component Patterns
-
-**Prefer composition over configuration:**
-
-```tsx
-// Good: Composable
-<Card>
-  <CardHeader>
-    <CardTitle>Tasks</CardTitle>
-  </CardHeader>
-  <CardBody>
-    <TaskList tasks={tasks} />
-  </CardBody>
-</Card>
-
-// Avoid: Over-configured
-<Card
-  title="Tasks"
-  headerVariant="large"
-  bodyPadding="md"
-  content={<TaskList tasks={tasks} />}
-/>
-```
-
-**Keep components focused:**
-
-```tsx
-// Good: Does one thing
-export function TaskItem({ task, onToggle, onDelete }: TaskItemProps) {
-  return (
-    <li className="flex items-center gap-3 p-3">
-      <Checkbox checked={task.done} onChange={() => onToggle(task.id)} />
-      <span className={task.done ? 'line-through text-muted' : ''}>{task.title}</span>
-      <Button variant="ghost" size="sm" onClick={() => onDelete(task.id)}>
-        <TrashIcon />
-      </Button>
-    </li>
-  );
-}
-```
-
-**Separate data fetching from presentation:**
-
-```tsx
-// Container: handles data
-export function TaskListContainer() {
-  const { tasks, isLoading, error } = useTasks();
-
-  if (isLoading) return <TaskListSkeleton />;
-  if (error) return <ErrorState message="Failed to load tasks" retry={refetch} />;
-  if (tasks.length === 0) return <EmptyState message="No tasks yet" />;
-
-  return <TaskList tasks={tasks} />;
-}
-
-// Presentation: handles rendering
-export function TaskList({ tasks }: { tasks: Task[] }) {
-  return (
-    <ul role="list" className="divide-y">
-      {tasks.map(task => <TaskItem key={task.id} task={task} />)}
-    </ul>
-  );
-}
-```
-
-## State Management
-
-**Choose the simplest approach that works:**
-
-```
-Local state (useState)           → Component-specific UI state
-Lifted state                     → Shared between 2-3 sibling components
-Context                          → Theme, auth, locale (read-heavy, write-rare)
-URL state (searchParams)         → Filters, pagination, shareable UI state
-Server state (React Query, SWR)  → Remote data with caching
-Global store (Zustand, Redux)    → Complex client state shared app-wide
-```
-
-**Avoid prop drilling deeper than 3 levels.** If you're passing props through components that don't use them, introduce context or restructure the component tree.
-
-## Design System Adherence
-
-### Avoid the AI Aesthetic
-
-AI-generated UI has recognizable patterns. Avoid all of them:
-
-| AI Default | Why It Is a Problem | Production Quality |
-|---|---|---|
-| Purple/indigo everything | Models default to visually "safe" palettes | Use project-specific color palettes |
-| Excessive gradients | Adds visual noise | Subtle or no gradients |
-| Rounded everything | Generic signals "safe" | Purposeful corner radii (sharp vs rounded) |
-| Generic hero sections | Template-driven, no context | Content-first, unique layouts |
-| Bento Grids | Used in every AI design | Use only when content truly benefits from it |
-| Shadows everywhere | Competitive depth noise | Subtle or no shadows |
-
-### UX Psychology & Layout
-- **Hick's Law**: More choices = slower decisions. Limit options, use progressive disclosure.
-- **8-Point Grid**: All spacing and sizing in multiples of 8 (Tight: 8px, Med: 16px, Large: 24px, XL: 48px+).
-- **Whitespace**: Generous whitespace signals luxury and improves scannability.
-- **Contrast**: Check WCAG (4.5:1 for normal text). Do not rely solely on color to convey information.
-
-### Spacing and Layout
-
-Use a consistent spacing scale. Don't invent values:
-
-```css
-/* Use the scale: 0.25rem increments (or whatever the project uses) */
-/* Good */  padding: 1rem;      /* 16px */
-/* Good */  gap: 0.75rem;       /* 12px */
-/* Bad */   padding: 13px;      /* Not on any scale */
-/* Bad */   margin-top: 2.3rem; /* Not on any scale */
-```
-
-### Typography
-
-Respect the type hierarchy:
-
-```
-h1 → Page title (one per page)
-h2 → Section title
-h3 → Subsection title
-body → Default text
-small → Secondary/helper text
-```
-
-Don't skip heading levels. Don't use heading styles for non-heading content.
-
-### Color
-
-- Use semantic color tokens: `text-primary`, `bg-surface`, `border-default` — not raw hex values
-- Ensure sufficient contrast (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text)
-- Don't rely solely on color to convey information (use icons, text, or patterns too)
-
-## Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA)
-
-Every component must meet these standards:
-
-### Keyboard Navigation
-
-```tsx
-// Every interactive element must be keyboard accessible
-<button onClick={handleClick}>Click me</button>        // ✓ Focusable by default
-<div onClick={handleClick}>Click me</div>               // ✗ Not focusable
-<div role="button" tabIndex={0} onClick={handleClick}    // ✓ But prefer <button>
-     onKeyDown={e => e.key === 'Enter' && handleClick()}>
-  Click me
-</div>
-```
-
-### ARIA Labels
-
-```tsx
-// Label interactive elements that lack visible text
-<button aria-label="Close dialog"><XIcon /></button>
-
-// Label form inputs
-<label htmlFor="email">Email</label>
-<input id="email" type="email" />
-
-// Or use aria-label when no visible label exists
-<input aria-label="Search tasks" type="search" />
-```
-
-### Focus Management
-
-```tsx
-// Move focus when content changes
-function Dialog({ isOpen, onClose }: DialogProps) {
-  const closeRef = useRef<HTMLButtonElement>(null);
-
-  useEffect(() => {
-    if (isOpen) closeRef.current?.focus();
-  }, [isOpen]);
-
-  // Trap focus inside dialog when open
-  return (
-    <dialog open={isOpen}>
-      <button ref={closeRef} onClick={onClose}>Close</button>
-      {/* dialog content */}
-    </dialog>
-  );
-}
-```
-
-### Meaningful Empty and Error States
-
-```tsx
-// Don't show blank screens
-function TaskList({ tasks }: { tasks: Task[] }) {
-  if (tasks.length === 0) {
-    return (
-      <div role="status" className="text-center py-12">
-        <TasksEmptyIcon className="mx-auto h-12 w-12 text-muted" />
-        <h3 className="mt-2 text-sm font-medium">No tasks</h3>
-        <p className="mt-1 text-sm text-muted">Get started by creating a new task.</p>
-        <Button className="mt-4" onClick={onCreateTask}>Create Task</Button>
-      </div>
-    );
-  }
-
-  return <ul role="list">...</ul>;
-}
-```
-
-## Responsive Design
-
-Design for mobile first, then expand:
-
-```tsx
-// Tailwind: mobile-first responsive
-<div className="
-  grid grid-cols-1      /* Mobile: single column */
-  sm:grid-cols-2        /* Small: 2 columns */
-  lg:grid-cols-3        /* Large: 3 columns */
-  gap-4
-">
-```
-
-Test at these breakpoints: 320px, 768px, 1024px, 1440px.
-
-## Loading and Transitions
-
-```tsx
-// Skeleton loading (not spinners for content)
-function TaskListSkeleton() {
-  return (
-    <div className="space-y-3" aria-busy="true" aria-label="Loading tasks">
-      {Array.from({ length: 3 }).map((_, i) => (
-        <div key={i} className="h-12 bg-muted animate-pulse rounded" />
-      ))}
-    </div>
-  );
-}
-
-// Optimistic updates for perceived speed
-function useToggleTask() {
-  const queryClient = useQueryClient();
-
-  return useMutation({
-    mutationFn: toggleTask,
-    onMutate: async (taskId) => {
-      await queryClient.cancelQueries({ queryKey: ['tasks'] });
-      const previous = queryClient.getQueryData(['tasks']);
-
-      queryClient.setQueryData(['tasks'], (old: Task[]) =>
-        old.map(t => t.id === taskId ? { ...t, done: !t.done } : t)
-      );
-
-      return { previous };
-    },
-    onError: (_err, _taskId, context) => {
-      queryClient.setQueryData(['tasks'], context?.previous);
-    },
-  });
-}
-```

-
-## Common Rationalizations
-
-| Rationalization | Reality |
-|---|---|
-| "Accessibility is a nice-to-have" | It's a legal requirement in many jurisdictions and an engineering quality standard. |
-| "We'll make it responsive later" | Retrofitting responsive design is 3x harder than building it from the start. |
-| "The design isn't final, so I'll skip styling" | Use the design system defaults. Unstyled UI creates a broken first impression for reviewers. |
-| "This is just a prototype" | Prototypes become production code. Build the foundation right. |
-| "The AI aesthetic is fine for now" | It signals low quality. Use the project's actual design system from the start. |
-
-## Red Flags
-
-- Components with more than 200 lines (split them)
-- Inline styles or arbitrary pixel values
-- Missing error states, loading states, or empty states
-- No keyboard navigation testing
-- Color as the sole indicator of state (red/green without text or icons)
-- Generic "AI look" (purple gradients, oversized cards, stock layouts)
-
-## Verification
-
-After building UI:
-
-- [ ] Component renders without console errors
-- [ ] All interactive elements are keyboard accessible (Tab through the page)
-- [ ] Screen reader can convey the page's content and structure
-- [ ] Responsive: works at 320px, 768px, 1024px, 1440px
-- [ ] Loading, error, and empty states all handled
-- [ ] Follows the project's design system (spacing, colors, typography)
-- [ ] No accessibility warnings in dev tools or axe-core
