# Feature Implementation Workflow 1. Understand the requirement and desired outcome. 2. Inspect the relevant files, patterns, and data flows. 3. Propose a short implementation plan for non-trivial work. 4. Implement the smallest maintainable change that satisfies the requirement. 5. Review for: - correctness - edge cases - error handling - compatibility with existing behavior - maintainability 6. Summarize: - what changed - why - any follow-up considerations
