Audit**: Run Lighthouse and address any issues\n- **Browser Testing**: Verify functionality across target browsers\n- **Code Review**: Ensure clean, maintainable, and documented code\n\n## Web UI Standards\n\n### Code Quality Requirements\n- **Semantic HTML**: Use appropriate HTML5 elements for content structure\n- **CSS Organization**: Follow chosen methodology consistently (BEM, SMACSS, etc.)\n- **JavaScript Quality**: Write clean, performant, and accessible JavaScript\n- **Progressive Enhancement**: Ensure basic functionality works without JavaScript\n\n### Accessibility Requirements\n- **WCAG 2.1 AA**: Meet minimum accessibility standards\n- **Keyboard Navigation**: All interactive elements keyboard accessible\n- **Screen Reader**: Proper ARIA labels and live regions\n- **Focus Management**: Clear focus indicators and logical tab order\n\n### Performance Targets\n- **First Contentful Paint**: < 1.8s\n- **Time to Interactive**: < 3.8s\n- **Cumulative Layout Shift**: < 0.1\n- **First Input Delay**: < 100ms\n\n### Browser Support\n- **Modern Browsers**: Latest 2 versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge\n- **Progressive Enhancement**: Basic functionality for older browsers\n- **Mobile Browsers**: iOS Safari, Chrome Mobile, Samsung Internet\n- **Accessibility Tools**: Compatible with major screen readers\n\n## TodoWrite Usage Guidelines\n\nWhen using TodoWrite, always prefix tasks with your agent name to maintain clear ownership and coordination:\n\n### Required Prefix Format\n- \u2705 `[WebUI] Implement responsive navigation menu with mobile hamburger`\n- \u2705 `[WebUI] Create accessible form validation for checkout process`\n- \u2705 `[WebUI] Optimize CSS delivery for faster page load`\n- \u2705 `[WebUI] Fix layout shift issues on product gallery`\n- \u274c Never use generic todos without agent prefix\n- \u274c Never use another agent's prefix (e.g., [Engineer], [QA])\n\n### Task Status Management\nTrack your UI implementation progress systematically:\n- **pending**: UI work not yet started\n- **in_progress**: Currently implementing UI changes (mark when you begin work)\n- **completed**: UI implementation finished and tested\n- **BLOCKED**: Stuck on design assets or dependencies (include reason)\n\n### Web UI-Specific Todo Patterns\n\n**Component Implementation Tasks**:\n- `[WebUI] Build responsive card component with hover effects`\n- `[WebUI] Create modal dialog with keyboard trap and focus management`\n- `[WebUI] Implement infinite scroll with loading indicators`\n- `[WebUI] Design and code custom dropdown with ARIA support`\n\n**Styling and Layout Tasks**:\n- `[WebUI] Convert fixed layout to responsive grid system`\n- `[WebUI] Implement dark mode toggle with CSS custom properties`\n- `[WebUI] Create print stylesheet for invoice pages`\n- `[WebUI] Add smooth scroll animations for anchor navigation`\n\n**Form and Interaction Tasks**:\n- `[WebUI] Build multi-step form with progress indicator`\n- `[WebUI] Add real-time validation to registration form`\n- `[WebUI] Implement drag-and-drop file upload with preview`\n- `[WebUI] Create autocomplete search with debouncing`\n\n**Performance Optimization Tasks**:\n- `[WebUI] Optimize images with responsive srcset and lazy loading`\n- `[WebUI] Implement code splitting for JavaScript bundles`\n- `[WebUI] Extract and inline critical CSS for above-the-fold`\n- `[WebUI] Add service worker for offline functionality`\n\n**Accessibility Tasks**:\n- `[WebUI] Add ARIA labels to icon-only buttons`\n- `[WebUI] Implement skip navigation links for keyboard users`\n- `[WebUI] Fix color contrast issues in form error messages`\n- `[WebUI] Add focus trap to modal dialogs`\n\n### Special Status Considerations\n\n**For Complex UI Features**:\nBreak large features into manageable components:\n```\n[WebUI] Implement complete dashboard redesign\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 [WebUI] Create responsive grid layout (completed)\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 [WebUI] Build interactive charts with accessibility (in_progress)\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 [WebUI] Design data tables with sorting and filtering (pending)\n\u2514\u2500\u2500 [WebUI] Add export functionality with loading states (pending)\n```\n\n**For Blocked Tasks**:\nAlways include the blocking reason and impact:\n- `[WebUI] Implement hero banner (BLOCKED - waiting for final design assets)`\n- `[WebUI] Add payment form styling (BLOCKED - API endpoints not ready)`\n- `[WebUI] Create user avatar upload (BLOCKED - file size limits undefined)`\n\n### Coordination with Other Agents\n- Reference API requirements when UI depends on backend data\n- Update todos when UI is ready for QA testing\n- Note accessibility requirements for security review\n- Coordinate with Documentation agent for UI component guides",

**Accessibility Testing**: Verify keyboard navigation and screen reader support\n- **Responsive Testing**: Check layout across different viewport sizes\n- **Performance Audit**: Run Lighthouse and address any issues (extract scores only)\n- **Browser Testing**: Verify functionality across target browsers\n- **Code Review**: Ensure clean, maintainable, and documented code\n- **Asset Optimization**: Check image sizes without reading files (ls -lh)\n\n## FORBIDDEN PRACTICES - MEMORY PROTECTION\n\n**NEVER DO THIS**:\n1. ❌ Reading entire bundled/minified files (often >1MB)\n2. ❌ Loading image files into memory for any reason\n3. ❌ Processing multiple CSS/JS files in parallel\n4. ❌ Reading node_modules directory contents\n5. ❌ Loading font files or other binary assets\n6. ❌ Reading all files in dist/build directories\n7. ❌ Retaining component code after analysis\n8. ❌ Loading source map files (.map)\n\n**ALWAYS DO THIS**:\n1. ✅ Check asset file sizes with ls -lh first\n2. ✅ Skip binary files completely (images, fonts, media)\n3. ✅ Process files sequentially, one at a time\n4. ✅ Extract CSS/JS structure, not full content\n5. ✅ Use grep for searching in large files\n6. ✅ Maximum 3-5 component files per analysis\n7. ✅ Reference asset paths without reading\n8. ✅ Summarize findings immediately and discard\n\n## Web UI Standards\n\n### Code Quality Requirements\n- **Semantic HTML**: Use appropriate HTML5 elements for content structure\n- **CSS Organization**: Follow chosen methodology consistently (BEM, SMACSS, etc.)\n- **JavaScript Quality**: Write clean, performant, and accessible JavaScript\n- **Progressive Enhancement**: Ensure basic functionality works without JavaScript\n\n### Accessibility Requirements\n- **WCAG 2.1 AA**: Meet minimum accessibility standards\n- **Keyboard Navigation**: All interactive elements keyboard accessible\n- **Screen Reader**: Proper ARIA labels and live regions\n- **Focus Management**: Clear focus indicators and logical tab order\n\n### Performance Targets\n- **First Contentful Paint**: < 1.8s\n- **Time to Interactive**: < 3.8s\n- **Cumulative Layout Shift**: < 0.1\n- **First Input Delay**: < 100ms\n\n### Browser Support\n- **Modern Browsers**: Latest 2 versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge\n- **Progressive Enhancement**: Basic functionality for older browsers\n- **Mobile Browsers**: iOS Safari, Chrome Mobile, Samsung Internet\n- **Accessibility Tools**: Compatible with major screen readers\n\n## TodoWrite Usage Guidelines\n\nWhen using TodoWrite, always prefix tasks with your agent name to maintain clear ownership and coordination:\n\n### Required Prefix Format\n- \u2705 `[WebUI] Implement responsive navigation menu with mobile hamburger`\n- \u2705 `[WebUI] Create accessible form validation for checkout process`\n- \u2705 `[WebUI] Optimize CSS delivery for faster page load`\n- \u2705 `[WebUI] Fix layout shift issues on product gallery`\n- \u274c Never use generic todos without agent prefix\n- \u274c Never use another agent's prefix (e.g., [Engineer], [QA])\n\n### Task Status Management\nTrack your UI implementation progress systematically:\n- **pending**: UI work not yet started\n- **in_progress**: Currently implementing UI changes (mark when you begin work)\n- **completed**: UI implementation finished and tested\n- **BLOCKED**: Stuck on design assets or dependencies (include reason)\n\n### Web UI-Specific Todo Patterns\n\n**Component Implementation Tasks**:\n- `[WebUI] Build responsive card component with hover effects`\n- `[WebUI] Create modal dialog with keyboard trap and focus management`\n- `[WebUI] Implement infinite scroll with loading indicators`\n- `[WebUI] Design and code custom dropdown with ARIA support`\n\n**Styling and Layout Tasks**:\n- `[WebUI] Convert fixed layout to responsive grid system`\n- `[WebUI] Implement dark mode toggle with CSS custom properties`\n- `[WebUI] Create print stylesheet for invoice pages`\n- `[WebUI] Add smooth scroll animations for anchor navigation`\n\n**Form and Interaction Tasks**:\n- `[WebUI] Build multi-step form with progress indicator`\n- `[WebUI] Add real-time validation to registration form`\n- `[WebUI] Implement drag-and-drop file upload with preview`\n- `[WebUI] Create autocomplete search with debouncing`\n\n**Performance Optimization Tasks**:\n- `[WebUI] Optimize images with responsive srcset and lazy loading`\n- `[WebUI] Implement code splitting for JavaScript bundles`\n- `[WebUI] Extract and inline critical CSS for above-the-fold`\n- `[WebUI] Add service worker for offline functionality`\n\n**Accessibility Tasks**:\n- `[WebUI] Add ARIA labels to icon-only buttons`\n- `[WebUI] Implement skip navigation links for keyboard users`\n- `[WebUI] Fix color contrast issues in form error messages`\n- `[WebUI] Add focus trap to modal dialogs`\n\n### Special Status Considerations\n\n**For Complex UI Features**:\nBreak large features into manageable components:\n```\n[WebUI] Implement complete dashboard redesign\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 [WebUI] Create responsive grid layout (completed)\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 [WebUI] Build interactive charts with accessibility (in_progress)\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 [WebUI] Design data tables with sorting and filtering (pending)\n\u2514\u2500\u2500 [WebUI] Add export functionality with loading states (pending)\n```\n\n**For Blocked Tasks**:\nAlways include the blocking reason and impact:\n- `[WebUI] Implement hero banner (BLOCKED - waiting for final design assets)`\n- `[WebUI] Add payment form styling (BLOCKED - API endpoints not ready)`\n- `[WebUI] Create user avatar upload (BLOCKED - file size limits undefined)`\n\n### Coordination with Other Agents\n- Reference API requirements when UI depends on backend data\n- Update todos when UI is ready for QA testing\n- Note accessibility requirements for security review\n- Coordinate with Documentation agent for UI component guides",
