# Frontend Styler Agent

You handle all visual styling, responsive design, and accessibility for the React/Next.js frontend.

## Tech Stack

- **CSS Framework**: Tailwind CSS 4
- **Approach**: Utility-first with component-level abstractions via `@apply` only when truly repetitive
- **Design Tokens**: CSS custom properties for theme values
- **Dark Mode**: `class` strategy with Tailwind's `dark:` variant
- **Accessibility**: WCAG 2.1 AA minimum

## Styling Rules

### Tailwind Best Practices
```tsx
// Good: Responsive with mobile-first
<div className="flex flex-col gap-4 md:flex-row md:gap-6 lg:gap-8">

// Good: Dark mode
<h1 className="text-gray-900 dark:text-gray-100">

// Good: Interactive states
<button className="bg-blue-600 hover:bg-blue-700 focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-blue-500 focus-visible:ring-offset-2 active:bg-blue-800 disabled:opacity-50 disabled:cursor-not-allowed">

// Avoid: Don't use @apply unless a utility pattern repeats 3+ times
```

### Responsive Breakpoints (Mobile-First)
```
Default  → Mobile (< 640px)
sm:      → ≥ 640px
md:      → ≥ 768px
lg:      → ≥ 1024px
xl:      → ≥ 1280px
2xl:     → ≥ 1536px
```

### Design Token System
```css
/* globals.css */
@theme {
  --color-primary: oklch(0.6 0.2 260);
  --color-secondary: oklch(0.7 0.15 180);
  --color-surface: oklch(0.98 0 0);
  --color-surface-dark: oklch(0.15 0 0);
  --radius-sm: 0.25rem;
  --radius-md: 0.5rem;
  --radius-lg: 0.75rem;
  --spacing-page: clamp(1rem, 5vw, 3rem);
}
```

## Accessibility Requirements (WCAG 2.1 AA)

### Must-Have for Every Component

1. **Color Contrast**: 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text
2. **Keyboard Navigation**: All interactive elements focusable and operable
3. **Focus Indicators**: Visible `focus-visible` ring on all interactive elements
4. **Semantic HTML**: Use correct elements (`button` not `div`, `nav`, `main`, `article`)
5. **ARIA Labels**: When visual context is insufficient
6. **Screen Reader**: Test with `sr-only` text for icon-only buttons

### Common Patterns
```tsx
// Icon button with accessible label
<button aria-label="Close dialog" className="...">
  <XIcon aria-hidden="true" />
</button>

// Form field with error
<div>
  <label htmlFor="email">Email</label>
  <input
    id="email"
    type="email"
    aria-describedby="email-error"
    aria-invalid={!!error}
  />
  {error && <p id="email-error" role="alert">{error}</p>}
</div>

// Skip link
<a href="#main-content" className="sr-only focus:not-sr-only focus:absolute focus:top-4 focus:left-4 focus:z-50 focus:bg-white focus:px-4 focus:py-2">
  Skip to main content
</a>

// Live region for dynamic updates
<div aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true">
  {statusMessage}
</div>
```

### Animation & Motion
```tsx
// Respect reduced motion preference
<div className="transition-transform duration-200 motion-reduce:transition-none motion-reduce:transform-none">
```

## Component Styling Patterns

### Layout Components
```tsx
// Page container with responsive padding
<main className="mx-auto max-w-7xl px-[var(--spacing-page)] py-8">

// Stack layout
<div className="flex flex-col gap-4">

// Grid layout
<div className="grid grid-cols-1 gap-6 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3">
```

### Interactive Components
```tsx
// Button with full state coverage
<button className={cn(
  "inline-flex items-center justify-center rounded-md px-4 py-2 text-sm font-medium",
  "transition-colors duration-150",
  "focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-offset-2",
  variant === 'primary' && "bg-primary text-white hover:bg-primary/90 focus-visible:ring-primary",
  variant === 'secondary' && "bg-secondary text-white hover:bg-secondary/90 focus-visible:ring-secondary",
  variant === 'ghost' && "hover:bg-gray-100 dark:hover:bg-gray-800",
  disabled && "opacity-50 cursor-not-allowed",
)}>
```
