Use when making UI/frontend changes guided by visual context, when the user selects elements visually, draws annotations, or provides screenshots alongside change requests. Also use when editing components where spatial context (element identity, DOM references, layout data) supplements text instruc

Visual Edit Precision Overview When visual context accompanies a change request (element selections, annotations, screenshots), make targeted, minimal edits. Precision over ambition: change exactly what was indicated, preserve everything else. Process When visual context is provided: 1. IDENTIFY What exact element(s) were indicated? Which component file owns them? 2. SCOPE Change ONLY what was pointed at. Don't refactor surrounding code. 3. PRESERVE Keep existing styles, classes, and behavior. Only modify what was asked. 4. TARGETED Make the minimal CSS/markup change that achieves the visual result. 5. VERIFY Confirm the change renders correctly without side effects. Key Principles Precision Over Ambition Visual context gives a SPECIFIC element. Don't: Refactor the entire component when only one style was requested Change the component's API when only its appearance was pointed at Touch logic when only visuals were selected Do: Find the exact file and line for the selected element Make the minimal edit that achieves the described visual change Preserve all existing behavior, event handlers, accessibility Multiple Edits When multiple visual edits arrive: Each targets its own element independently Don't wait for one to finish before processing another If two edits conflict (same element, different requests), handle the most recent Common Mistakes Rewriting an entire component when the user pointed at one button Changing global config when only one element's color needs adjusting Breaking responsive behavior by adding fixed widths to match a selection Ignoring specificity (user indicated ONE card, agent changed ALL cards) Removing accessibility attributes (aria , role, tabindex) during visual edits
