2. Describe the feature or changes needed
3. Reference existing patterns with @-mentions
4. Specify file structure and naming conventions
5. Review each proposed change before applying
6. Apply changes incrementally, testing between phases

Output

• Multiple coordinated file changes
• Generated feature modules with consistent patterns
• Refactored codebase following specified patterns
• Complete test coverage for generated code
