+    ├─ Activates based on file patterns     ├─ Always present in every interaction
+    ├─ Specific to current context          ├─ Fundamental to all contexts
+    ├─ Enforces detailed patterns           ├─ Reminds of core principles
+    └─ Comprehensive rule sets              └─ Focused essential guidance
+```
+
+## 🎯 When to Use Each Instruction Type
+
+### Core Instructions (Always Active)
+**Use for**:
+- Patterns that apply to literally every file in the project
+- Fundamental architectural concepts (dual implementation)
+- Non-negotiable conventions (token-based architecture)
+- Basic error handling and validation patterns
+
+**Examples**:
+- Every operation must include token as first parameter
+- All functions use verb-first naming (track, flush, identify)
+- Storage errors must not crash the app (silent failure pattern)
+- Input validation using StringHelper/ObjectHelper classes
+
+### Specialized Instructions (Context-Activated)
+**Use for**:
+- Patterns specific to certain file types or technologies
+- Detailed implementation guidance for specific contexts
+- Extended patterns that build on core instructions
+
+**Examples**:
+- iOS Swift bridge patterns (only for iOS files)
+- Test generation strategies (only for test files)
+- Storage abstraction details (only for storage-related files)
+
+### Prompt Files (Manual Activation)
+**Use for**:
+- Complex multi-step workflows requiring coordination
+- Agent-mode tasks that benefit from structured guidance
+- Procedures too complex for always-apply instructions
+
+**Examples**:
+- Adding a new feature (requires API → iOS → Android → JS → Tests)
+- Debugging complex issues (requires systematic investigation)
+- Implementing comprehensive test suites (requires multiple test types)
+
+## 🔧 Instruction Maintenance Guidelines
+
+### Syncing Updates Across Systems
+
+#### When Claude Code Context Changes
+1. **Identify changed patterns** in comprehensive documentation
+2. **Evaluate relevance** to persistent Copilot instructions
+3. **Update core instructions** if fundamental patterns changed
+4. **Update specialized instructions** if context-specific patterns changed
+5. **Update prompt files** if workflow procedures changed
+
+#### When Cursor Rules Change
+1. **Review always-apply rules** for patterns that should be persistent
+2. **Extract essential guidance** from component-specific rules
+3. **Avoid duplication** - don't repeat what Cursor already handles contextually
+4. **Focus on complementary guidance** that enhances Cursor rules
+
+#### Promotion Strategy
+```
+Discovered Pattern → Cursor Rule → Copilot Instruction
+      │                   │              │
+      ├─ New pattern      ├─ Proven      ├─ Fundamental
+      │  discovered       │  effective   │  to project
+      ├─ Needs testing    ├─ Applies     ├─ Should be
+      │  in practice      │  to specific │  always
+      └─ May evolve       │  contexts    │  present
+                          └─ Should be   └─ Core to
+                             enforced      identity
+```
+
+### Testing Instruction Effectiveness
+
+#### Validation Approach
+1. **Generate code** with only core instructions active

+# Essential Coding Standards for Mixpanel React Native
+
+> Critical patterns preventing errors. Every instruction has proven impact.
+
+## 🔒 Security & Validation
+
+**ALWAYS validate inputs with Helper classes**:
+```javascript
+if (!StringHelper.isValid(eventName)) {
+  StringHelper.raiseError(PARAMS.EVENT_NAME);
+}
+if (!ObjectHelper.isValidOrUndefined(properties)) {
+  ObjectHelper.raiseError(PARAMS.PROPERTIES);
+}
+```
+
+**ALWAYS check opt-out before operations**:
+```javascript
+if (this.mixpanelPersistent.getOptedOut(token)) {
+  MixpanelLogger.log(token, `User opted out, skipping ${operation}`);
+  return;
+}
+```
+
+## ⚡ Error Handling Patterns
+
+**Storage operations - Silent failure with defaults**:
+```javascript
+async getItem(key) {
+  try {
+    return await this.storage.getItem(key);
+  } catch {
+    MixpanelLogger.error("error getting item from storage");
+    return null; // ALWAYS return usable default
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Network operations - Retry with exponential backoff**:
+```javascript
+const sendRequest = async ({...params, retryCount = 0}) => {
+  try {
+    return await fetch(url, options);
+  } catch (error) {
+    if (retryCount < maxRetries) {
+      const backoff = Math.min(2 ** retryCount * 2000, 60000);
+      await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, backoff));
+      return sendRequest({...params, retryCount: retryCount + 1});
+    }
+    throw error;
+  }
+};
+```
+
+**UUID generation - Expo fallback**:
+```javascript
+try {
+  deviceId = randomUUID(); // expo-crypto
+} catch (e) {
+  deviceId = uuid.v4();    // uuid package
+}
+```
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture Rules
+
+**Token-based multi-tenancy (MANDATORY)**:
+```javascript
+// EVERY operation includes token as first parameter
+const track = async (token, eventName, properties) => { /* ... */ };
+const flush = async (token) => { /* ... */ };
+
+// ALL storage keys are token-scoped
+const key = `MIXPANEL_${token}_${type}_${field}`;
+```
+
+**Dual implementation routing**:
+```javascript
+if (useNative && MixpanelReactNative) {
+  this.mixpanelImpl = MixpanelReactNative;
+} else {
+  if (useNative) {
+    console.warn("MixpanelReactNative not available; using JavaScript mode...");
+  }
+  this.mixpanelImpl = new MixpanelMain(token, trackAutomaticEvents, storage);
+}
+```
+
+**Queue-based processing**:
+```javascript
+const enqueue = async (token, type, data) => {
+  _queues[token][type].push(data);
+  await updateQueueInStorage(token, type);
+  
+  if (_queues[token][type].length >= batchSize) {
+    processBatch(token, type);
+  }
+};
+```
+
+## 📱 Native Module Patterns
+
+**iOS Swift**:
+```swift
+@objc
+func methodName(_ token: String,
+                parameter: String,
+                resolver resolve: RCTPromiseResolveBlock,
+                rejecter reject: RCTPromiseRejectBlock) -> Void {
+    guard let instance = MixpanelReactNative.getMixpanelInstance(token) else {
+        reject("Instance Error", "Failed to get Mixpanel instance", nil)
+        return
+    }
+    instance.nativeMethod(parameter: parameter)
+    resolve(nil)
+}
+```
+
+**Android Java**:
+```java
+@ReactMethod
+public void methodName(String token, String parameter, Promise promise) {
+    MixpanelAPI instance = MixpanelAPI.getInstance(mReactContext, token, true);
+    if (instance == null) {
+        promise.reject("Instance Error", "Failed to get Mixpanel instance");
+        return;
+    }
+    synchronized (instance) {
+        instance.nativeMethod(parameter);
+        promise.resolve(null);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## 🧹 Data Handling
+
+**Conditional property inclusion - prevent null values**:
+```javascript
+const profileData = {
+  $token: token,
+  $time: Date.now(),
+  ...action,
+  ...(distinctId != null && { $distinct_id: distinctId }),
+  ...(deviceId != null && { $device_id: deviceId }),
+  ...(userId != null && { $user_id: userId }),
+};
+```
+
+**Storage module resolution**:
+```javascript
+const storageModule = require("@react-native-async-storage/async-storage");
+if (storageModule.default) {
+  this.storage = storageModule.default;
+} else {
+  this.storage = storageModule;
+}
+```
+
+## 🧪 Testing Requirements
+
+**Test both modes for every feature**:
+```javascript
+describe('Feature', () => {
+  it('Native mode', () => {
+    mixpanel = new Mixpanel('token', true, true); // Force native
+    mixpanel.track('Event', {prop: 'value'});
+    expect(MixpanelReactNative.track).toHaveBeenCalled();
+  });
+
+  it('JavaScript mode', () => {
+    mixpanel = new Mixpanel('token', true, false); // Force JS
+    mixpanel.track('Event', {prop: 'value'});
+    expect(MixpanelQueueManager.enqueue).toHaveBeenCalled();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## 📋 Quick Reference
+
+### Naming
