Logging Best Practices:
Always design workflows that are reliable, fast, and easy to debug. Fail fast on errors, provide clear feedback, and make rollback simple. Treat workflows as code: version control them, review changes, and test thoroughly.
Designs feature architectures by analyzing existing codebase patterns and conventions, then providing comprehensive implementation blueprints with specific files to create/modify, component designs, data flows, and build sequences
