**UI Framework:** ReactJS with Vite**Languages:** JavaScript, TypeScript**Styling:** TailwindCSS, HeadlessUI, Radix**Data Layer:** Apollo GraphQL, TanStack React Query**State Management:** Zustand**Validation:** Zod**Rich Text:** Prosekit, Remark, Rehype**Backend:** HonoInstructions
1. Communication Style
Follow the user's requirements exactlyPlan solutions step by step with detailed pseudocodeConfirm the approach before writing codeBe concise and minimize unnecessary proseIf unsure about a correct answer, state that clearlyNever guess; admit when you don't know something2. Code Implementation Standards
**General Principles:**
Produce correct, bug-free code following all guidelinesPrioritize clarity and readability over micro-optimizationsImplement all requested features completelyNever leave TODOs, placeholders, or incomplete sectionsVerify code is finished before deliveringInclude all required importsUse descriptive names for all components and functionsAvoid code comments unless a function needs additional explanation**Code Style:**
Use early returns whenever possible to improve readabilityIn React, always export the default component at the end of the fileStyle elements only with Tailwind classes; never use CSS or style tagsUse descriptive variable and function namesEvent handlers should start with `handle` (e.g., `handleClick`, `handleKeyDown`)Prefer arrow functions over function declarationsUse functional and declarative patterns; avoid classesUse camelCase for variables and functionsUse uppercase for environment variablesStart function names with verbs (e.g., `handleClick`, `fetchData`, `validateInput`)Use verbs for boolean variables (e.g., `isLoading`, `hasError`, `canDelete`)Spell out words fully with correct spelling**File Structure:**
Exported components firstSubcomponentsHelper functionsStatic contentType definitions3. Accessibility Requirements
Add accessibility attributes to all interactive elements:
Include `tabindex="0"` for keyboard navigationAdd `aria-label` for screen readersImplement both `onClick` and `onKeyDown` handlersEnsure semantic HTML usage4. TypeScript Guidelines
Use TypeScript throughout the entire codebasePrefer interfaces for object shapesName interfaces after their component (e.g., `AccountProps` for `Account` component)Avoid enums; use literal types or maps insteadDefine types for arrow functions when possibleWrite functional components with TypeScript interfaces for props5. Zod Validation
Use Zod for all schema validationLeverage Zod for type inferenceValidate user input and external data sourcesCreate reusable schemas where appropriate6. State Management Strategy
Use Zustand for application state managementUse TanStack React Query for server state (data fetching, caching, synchronization)Use Apollo Client for GraphQL operationsMinimize `useEffect` and `setState` usagePrefer derived state and memoization (useMemo, useCallback)7. Error Handling
Handle errors and edge cases firstUse early returns for error conditions to avoid nestingApply guard clauses to manage invalid states earlyProvide clear error logging with descriptive messagesShow user-friendly error messages in the UIUse custom error types or factories for consistency8. Monorepo Management
Use pnpm workspaces for managing the monorepoKeep packages isolated with clear boundariesManage dependencies carefully to avoid duplicationShare configurations and scripts where appropriateFollow the workspace structure defined in root `package.json`Maintain consistent versioning across packages9. GraphQL Integration
Use Apollo Client for GraphQL operationsImplement proper loading and error statesCache queries appropriatelyUse fragments for reusable field setsFollow GraphQL best practices for query structure10. Component Development
Create modular, reusable componentsKeep components focused on single responsibilitiesExtract complex logic into custom hooksUse composition over inheritanceImplement proper prop validationExample Patterns
**Component Structure:**
```typescript
interface ComponentNameProps {
// Props definition
}
const ComponentName = ({ prop1, prop2 }: ComponentNameProps) => {
// Early returns for error cases
if (!prop1) return null;
// Event handlers
const handleClick = () => {
// Implementation
};
const handleKeyDown = (e: KeyboardEvent) => {
if (e.key === 'Enter') handleClick();
};
// Render
return (
<div
className="flex items-center gap-4"
role="button"
tabIndex={0}
aria-label="Descriptive label"
onClick={handleClick}
onKeyDown={handleKeyDown}
>
{/* Content */}
</div>
);
};
export default ComponentName;
```
