}Place each visual next to the short text it supports. Keep only the calls, files, props, states, and boundaries needed to answer the user's current question or the options to resolve the current discussion point.
You may use one of these, you may use several, it is unlikely you will use all of them. Use your judgement and don't overwhelm the user.
Concrete evidence that the change works. Show a before and after.
Screenshots are S-tier - when the environment is set up for it and the change is visual.
Execution-based evidence is A-tier. Test results, console output. Show the exact test that now fails and passes, using pseudocode.
Describe whether it's a one-way or two-way door. You can walk back through two-way doors, but not one-way doors. A PR that is cheap to roll back is lower risk. Changes that involve destructive actions or hard-to-reverse decisions are one-way doors.
The blast radius is the potential impact or scope of the changes introduced by this PR. Consider all possibilities. Examples are layout shift, breakages for consumers, mobile responsiveness, etc.
My agent skills that I use every day to do real engineering - not vibe coding. Developing real applications is hard. Approaches like GSD, BMAD, and Spec-Kit try to help by owning the process.
