CRITICAL: Never Read Entire Files

Files are 200-900+ lines. Follow the staged discovery flow below.

Stage 1: Find Component

Goal: Search for component by feature/keyword

Grep: "table" in components.md
Grep: "form\|input\|validation" in components.md
Grep: "modal\|dialog\|popup" in components.md

Output: Component name + description + do/don'ts

Next: Go to Stage 2 with component name

Stage 2: Get Props + Example List

Goal: Get props AND discover available examples

# 2a. Get props (small files OK to read, large files grep)
Read: components/ButtonProps.md              # OK if <100 lines
Grep: "### disabled" in components/BoxProps.md -A 3  # Box is huge

# 2b. List available examples (ALWAYS grep, never read)
Grep: "^### " in components/ButtonExamples.md -n

Output from 2b:

5:### Size
17:### Skin
71:### Affix
123:### Disabled
183:### Loading state

Next: Pick example(s) from list, go to Stage 3

Stage 3: Fetch Specific Example

Goal: Read only the example you need (~30-50 lines)

# Option A: Read with offset (line number from Stage 2)
Read: components/ButtonExamples.md offset=183 limit=40

# Option B: Grep with context
Grep: "### Loading state" in components/ButtonExamples.md -A 40

Output: JSX code example for that specific feature

Stage 4: Icons (when needed)

Grep: "Add\|Edit\|Delete\|Search" in icons.md

│ Stage 1: Grep components.md for keyword                 │
│          → finds: Button, Card, Table...                │

│ Stage 3: Read offset=183 limit=40                       │
│          → gets: specific example JSX code              │

Example Session: Product Page

# Stage 1: Find components
Grep: "image\|card\|price" in components.md
→ Image, Card, Text found

# Stage 2a: Get Card props
Read: components/CardProps.md

# Stage 2b: List Card examples
Grep: "^### " in components/CardExamples.md -n
→ 5:### Basic, 25:### With media, 60:### Clickable

# Stage 3: Fetch "With media" example
Read: components/CardExamples.md offset=25 limit=35
→ Gets Card with Image example code

# Repeat Stage 2-3 for other components as needed

Result: ~80 lines read instead of 1500+

Grep Patterns by Use Case

# Forms
Grep: "form\|input\|validation" in components.md

# Layout
Grep: "layout\|page\|card\|box" in components.md

# Data display
Grep: "table\|list\|badge" in components.md

# Feedback
Grep: "notification\|toast\|loader" in components.md

Quick Component Mapping (Design → WDS)

Spacing (px → SP conversion)

When designer specifies pixels, convert to the nearest SP token:

<Box gap="SP2" padding="SP3">

Only use SP tokens for gap, padding, margin - not for width/height.
