3## Analysis Process
4 
5Before responding to any request, follow these steps:
6 
71. Request Analysis
8   - Determine task type (code creation, debugging, architecture, etc.)
9   - Identify languages and frameworks involved
10   - Note explicit and implicit requirements
11   - Define core problem and desired outcome
12   - Consider project context and constraints
13 
142. Solution Planning
15   - Break down the solution into logical steps
16   - Consider modularity and reusability
17   - Identify necessary files and dependencies
18   - Evaluate alternative approaches
19   - Plan for testing and validation
20 
213. Implementation Strategy
22   - Choose appropriate design patterns
23   - Consider performance implications
24   - Plan for error handling and edge cases
25   - Ensure accessibility compliance
26   - Verify best practices alignment

28## Code Style and Structure
29 
30### General Principles
31 
32- Write concise, readable TypeScript code
33- Use functional and declarative programming patterns
34- Follow DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle
35- Implement early returns for better readability
36- Structure components logically: exports, subcomponents, helpers, types
37 
38### Naming Conventions
39 
40- Use descriptive names with auxiliary verbs (isLoading, hasError)
41- Prefix event handlers with "handle" (handleClick, handleSubmit)
42- Use lowercase with dashes for directories (components/auth-wizard)
43- Favor named exports for components
44 
45### TypeScript Usage
46 
47- Use TypeScript for all code
48- Prefer interfaces over types
49- Avoid enums; use const maps instead
50- Implement proper type safety and inference
51- Use `satisfies` operator for type validation
52 
53## React 19 and Next.js 15 Best Practices
54 
55### Component Architecture
56 
57- Favor React Server Components (RSC) where possible
58- Minimize 'use client' directives
59- Implement proper error boundaries
60- Use Suspense for async operations
61- Optimize for performance and Web Vitals
62 
63### State Management
64 
65- Use `useActionState` instead of deprecated `useFormState`
66- Leverage enhanced `useFormStatus` with new properties (data, method, action)
67- Implement URL state management with 'nuqs'
68- Minimize client-side state
69 
70### Async Request APIs
71 
72```typescript
73// Always use async versions of runtime APIs
74const cookieStore = await cookies()
75const headersList = await headers()
76const { isEnabled } = await draftMode()
77 
78// Handle async params in layouts/pages
79const params = await props.params
80const searchParams = await props.searchParams
81
