+⚠️ CRITICAL: ONE MODIFICATION PER CALL
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+This tool makes exactly ONE design modification at a time.
+
+If you need multiple design changes, call this tool MULTIPLE TIMES IN PARALLEL.
+
+Example - User: "Redesign the sidebar and the header"
+  → Call 1: modify_frontend (sidebar redesign)
+  → Call 2: modify_frontend (header redesign)
+  → Run both calls IN PARALLEL
+
+NEVER bundle multiple modifications into one call!

 ✅ USE THIS TOOL FOR (design changes):
   • "The sidebar looks ugly, redesign it" → Full visual redesign
-  • "Make this page look more premium/modern" → Design quality upgrade
-  • "This component looks dated, refresh the design" → Visual refresh
-  • "Redesign the header with a better layout" → Layout + design

 ❌ DO NOT USE THIS TOOL FOR (you can do these yourself):
-  • "Make the sidebar collapsible" → Logic change, just add useState + animation
-  • "Change the background to blue" → Just change bg-zinc-900 to bg-blue-900

   • "Add a loading spinner" → Simple code addition
-  • "Add onClick handler" → Just code, no design needed
-  • "Fix the TypeScript error" → Not a design task
-  • "Add dark mode toggle" → Logic, not design
