Account Settings
One place for a user to manage themselves.
What it adds
Profile, email, password, and account deletion — the settings every app needs.

1
Group settings into sections: profile, security, notifications, danger zone.

2
Changing an email address must be verified at the NEW address before it takes effect.
-
3
Changing a password must require the current password, and should invalidate other sessions.
-
4
Give a real account deletion path — not a support email.
Edge cases it handles

Edge cases it handles
4- An unverified email change must not lock the user out of their account.
- Account deletion must handle owned data explicitly: cascade, reassign, or block with an explanation.
- Deleting an account must revoke sessions and API tokens immediately.
- Email change should notify the OLD address too — that's how account takeovers get caught.
Definition of done

Definition of done
7- Email changes are verified at the new address before taking effect.
- The old address is notified of the change.
- Password changes require the current password.
- Account deletion works, and its effect on owned data is defined.
- Deletion revokes all sessions and tokens.
- The feature matches the existing design system.
- No existing functionality is broken.

User Roles
User Roles
Not everyone should be able to do everything.
What it does
Role-based permissions, enforced on the server, with a UI that reflects them.
How it works
-
1
Define roles and their permissions in ONE place. Scattering
if user.admin?through the codebase is how authorization bugs happen. - 2 Enforce every permission server-side, at the controller or service layer.
- 3 Hide UI the user can't use — but never rely on hiding as the enforcement.

Member Directory
Member Directory
Show who is in the workspace and how to identify them.
What it does
A searchable, read-only roster of workspace members with their role, status, and the profile fields they have chosen to share.
How it works
- 1 Build this as a read view. Inviting members is owned by Team Invitations, changing roles is owned by User Roles, and seat counts are owned by Seat Management — link out to those rather than duplicating their controls here.
- 2 Show each member's display name, avatar, role, and status. Status is not decoration: pending, active, suspended, deactivated, and external guest must be visually distinct and filterable.
- 3 Respect per-field profile visibility. A field the member marked private is not rendered, not returned by the API, and not searchable — hiding it in the template while shipping it in the payload is not privacy.

Account Linking
Account Linking
Let one account sign in several ways without spawning duplicates.
What it does
Attach and detach sign-in methods — password, OAuth providers, SSO — on a single existing account.
How it works
- 1 Model sign-in methods as separate identity records attached to one account, rather than columns on the user.
- 2 Require a fresh re-authentication before any link or unlink. A stale session is enough to read the app; it is not enough to change how the account is entered.
- 3 Refuse to link an identity that is already attached to another account. Explain the conflict and point the user at recovery — do not silently steal the identity or silently create a second account.

It inspects, then implements
Your agent reads your existing app first, then adds the feature to fit it.
Works with your stack
These instructions are written to adapt. They tell the agent to detect your framework, match your existing design system, and reuse what you already have — rather than assuming a particular stack.
Need it tighter than that? Customize the feature and tell it exactly what you're running.
