Dark Mode
Add a dark theme that respects the system preference and the user's choice.
What it adds
A complete dark theme, defaulting to the operating system preference and overridable by the user.

What your agent is told to do
4-
1
Audit every colour in the app first and report where they are defined. If colours are hardcoded throughout, extract them into tokens before anything else — that refactor is the bulk of this work.
-
2
Define a dark palette against those tokens. Do not simply invert the light theme.
-
3
Default to the system preference via prefers-color-scheme, and let the user override it.
-
4
Persist the choice and apply it before first paint, so the page never flashes the wrong theme.
Edge cases it handles

Edge cases it handles
4- Images, logos, and illustrations with baked-in light backgrounds need dark variants or a background treatment.
- Third-party embeds and iframes will not follow your theme — handle them explicitly.
- Syntax highlighting, charts, and maps usually need their own dark themes.
- Re-check contrast in dark mode. Grey-on-grey passes design review and fails WCAG.

Definition of done
8- Every screen is legible in dark mode — no unstyled white panels.
- The theme follows the system preference by default.
- The user can override it and the choice persists across sessions.
- There is no flash of the wrong theme on load.
- Contrast meets WCAG AA in both themes.
- Images and embeds do not glare in dark mode.
- The feature matches the existing design system.
- No existing functionality is broken.

Beautiful Empty States
Beautiful Empty States
Replace blank screens with useful, contextual empty states.
What it does
Every list, table, and dashboard in your app has a "nothing here yet" state. Most
apps ship a blank rectangle — and it is often the very first thing a new user sees.
An empty state should say what belongs here, why it is empty, and what to do next.
How it works
- 1 Inventory the empty cases first. List every collection view in the app and

Media Aspect Ratio System
Media Aspect Ratio System
Give every thumbnail, avatar, and hero a shared, reserved shape so nothing jumps.
What it does
A small set of named aspect ratios applied to every image and video surface, with reserved space, a defined fit, and a defined fallback.
How it works
- 1 Catalogue the media surfaces already in the app — list thumbnails, card covers, avatars, hero banners, video embeds, attachment previews — and reduce them to a handful of named ratios rather than a per-component value.
- 2 Reserve the box before the media loads so the ratio holds space from first paint. Layout that settles after an image arrives moves whatever the user was about to click.
- 3 Set the fit per content type, not per component: faces and product shots crop to fill from a sensible focal point, diagrams and screenshots fit whole with padding, because cropping a diagram loses the content it exists to show.

Opening Hours Display
Opening Hours Display
Say whether you are open right now and when you next open.
What it does
A live open or closed state alongside the weekly hours, with holiday closures folded in.
How it works
- 1 Lead with the current state in plain words and follow it with the next transition: open until a time, or closed until a day and time. The weekly table is supporting detail, not the headline.
- 2 Store hours as intervals against the business's own zone, and keep holiday and one-off closures as overrides that win over the regular week rather than as edits to it.
- 3 Compute the state on the server for the first render so the page does not briefly claim the wrong thing, then let the page update itself as the clock crosses a boundary without a reload.

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.
