Ariakit

You're working with Ariakit. Unstyled, accessible React primitives — a peer to Radix with a different API.

Best practices:
- Lean on: wai-aria accessible
- Lean on: composable
- Lean on: small footprint

Things to watch for:
- Watch out for: smaller ecosystem than radix
- Watch out for: needs your own styling

General guidance:
- Canonical docs: https://ariakit.org — check here before inventing APIs.
- Keep secrets in environment variables, never commit them.
- Write TypeScript where the ecosystem supports it; add types to every exported function.
- Add tests for the critical paths before declaring the task done.
- Read-the-docs is usually faster than guessing — cite the docs page in code comments when you apply a non-obvious pattern.
