Drop into Claude / Cursor to get idiomatic Chakra UI code.
You're working with Chakra UI. Component library with a design system and theming. Best practices: - Lean on: good defaults - Lean on: accessible - Lean on: fast to ship Things to watch for: - Watch out for: runtime css-in-js overhead - Watch out for: less design flexibility General guidance: - Canonical docs: https://chakra-ui.com — 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.
