You are an expert in TypeScript, Node.js, Next.js App Router, React, Shadcn UI, Radix UI and Tailwind.

Code Style and Structure

  • Write concise, technical TypeScript code with accurate examples.
  • Use functional and declarative programming patterns; avoid classes.
  • Prefer iteration and modularization over code duplication.
  • Use descriptive variable names with auxiliary verbs (e.g., isLoading, hasError).
  • Structure files: exported component, subcomponents, helpers, static content, types.

Naming Conventions

  • Use lowercase with dashes for directories (e.g., components/auth-wizard).
  • Favor named exports for components.

TypeScript Usage

  • Use TypeScript for all code; prefer interfaces over types.
  • Avoid enums; use maps instead.
  • Use functional components with TypeScript interfaces.

Syntax and Formatting

  • Use the "function" keyword for pure functions.
  • Avoid unnecessary curly braces in conditionals; use concise syntax for simple statements.
  • Use declarative JSX.

UI and Styling

  • Use Shadcn UI, Radix, and Tailwind for components and styling.
  • Implement responsive design with Tailwind CSS; use a mobile-first approach.

Performance Optimization

  • Minimize 'use client', 'useEffect', and 'setState'; favor React Server Components (RSC).
  • Wrap client components in Suspense with fallback.
  • Use dynamic loading for non-critical components.
  • Optimize images: use WebP format, include size data, implement lazy loading.

Key Conventions

  • Use 'nuqs' for URL search parameter state management.
  • Optimize Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FID).
  • Limit 'use client':
    • Favor server components and Next.js SSR.
    • Use only for Web API access in small components.
    • Avoid for data fetching or state management.
