Data Table Cell Primitives
Render every kind of table cell the same way, wherever the table happens to be.
What it adds
A shared set of cell renderers for numbers, dates, people, statuses, links, and row actions, used by every table in the app.
What your agent is told to do

What your agent is told to do
5-
1
Catalogue the cell types the app's tables already render and reduce them to a small set: number and currency, date and relative time, person or avatar, status or badge, link or identifier, and an actions cell.
-
2
Separate each cell's underlying value from its presentation, so sorting, filtering, grouping, and export operate on the raw value while the user sees the formatted one.
-
3
Align and format numerically consistent cells the same way everywhere — figures right-aligned with tabular figures and a fixed precision per column, dates in the user's locale and time zone, currency with its code where more than one is possible.
-
4
Give every cell type an explicit rendering for absent data, for the loading state, and for a value the current user is not permitted to see, and make those three visually distinct from one another.
-
5
Do not put more than one focusable control in a cell without deciding how it is reached. An actions cell with three buttons multiplies the tab stops in a hundred-row table; expose one primary control and put the rest behind a single menu, and leave header pinning to Sticky Table Header rather than adding a second scroll mechanism here.

7- Sorting on the displayed string rather than the underlying value puts ten before nine and orders dates alphabetically; every cell must carry a sort value distinct from its label, and relative times must sort on the real timestamp.
- Absent, still loading, and redacted are three different states and must not collapse into one dash. A blank where the user lacks permission reads as no data and leads people to draw the wrong conclusion from the table.
- Cells must stay readable when compact. Truncate with a clear affordance and the full value available on hover and focus, keep it to one line, and make sure the truncation happens on the text rather than clipping the whole cell.
- Row-level keyboard navigation breaks when cells add their own arrow key handling or insert extra tab stops; cell contents must cooperate with the table's existing focus model rather than compete with it.
- Zero, null, and empty string are different values and each needs its own treatment — a zero balance is a fact, an unknown balance is not.
- Long free text and long identifiers must not set the column width; give each cell type a sensible maximum and let the column keep its share.
- Numbers rendered for display must round consistently with what the app exports, or a user reconciling a downloaded file against the screen will find figures that do not agree.
Definition of done

Definition of done
9- Every table in the app renders its cells through the shared primitives.
- Sorting, filtering, and export use the raw value, never the formatted string.
- Numbers are right-aligned with consistent precision, and dates respect the user's locale and time zone.
- Missing, loading, and redacted values are visually and textually distinct.
- Each row contributes a predictable number of tab stops regardless of how many actions it has.
- Truncated cells expose their full value on hover and on focus.
- Displayed and exported values agree to the same precision.
- The feature matches the existing design system.
- No existing functionality is broken.

Segment Event Forwarding
Segment Event Forwarding
Send one clean stream of product events to Segment and let it fan out downstream.
What it does
A documented event schema and a single forwarding path emitting track, identify, group, and page calls with consistent identity.
How it works
- 1 Write the event schema before writing any code: the exact set of event names, the properties each carries with their types, and the traits attached to a user and to an account. Every downstream tool inherits this schema, so a name chosen carelessly is expensive to change later.
- 2 Establish one identity model and apply it everywhere. Use a stable internal user identifier that never changes, associate the anonymous identifier from the first visit with it at signup, and attach the account or workspace so downstream tools can roll events up by customer.
- 3 Route every event through one internal emitter rather than calling the provider from feature code. That emitter validates the event against the schema, drops or flags anything unrecognised, and is the single place where identity and default properties are attached.

Google Analytics Server Events
Google Analytics Server Events
Report confirmed outcomes to Google Analytics when browser tracking cannot be trusted.
What it does
Server-side delivery of completed conversions to Google Analytics, joined to the browser session and deduplicated against it.
How it works
- 1 Identify the outcomes the browser cannot see or reports unreliably — a payment confirmed by a webhook, a subscription that renewed, a signup completed after a redirect, anything blocked by an ad blocker — and send those from the server.
- 2 Capture the analytics client identifier from the browser when the visit begins, store it against the session or the record, and send it with the server event so the conversion joins the same session and campaign rather than appearing as a new anonymous visit.
- 3 Generate a stable event identifier at the moment the outcome happens and use it for both the browser and the server send, so the provider can collapse the pair into one event. Assign each event type a primary origin and treat the other as the fallback.

UI Event Naming Schema
UI Event Naming Schema
Give every tracked interaction a name that still means the same thing in a year.
What it does
A documented vocabulary and structure for event names and properties, applied across the app's existing tracking.
How it works
- 1 Audit the events the app already sends and list them. The duplicates, the near-synonyms, and the ones nobody can explain are the reason the schema is needed, and they are also the migration list.
- 2 Fix a structure of object, action, and context: what was acted on, what happened to it, and where. Fix a closed set of actions — viewed, clicked, opened, submitted, selected, failed — and require every new event to reuse one of them.
- 3 Keep variable detail in properties, never in the name. A record identifier, a plan name, or a workspace slug baked into an event name produces thousands of unaggregatable one-off events.

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.
