How this coder helps

Best workflow: Start with semantic HTML, apply layout utilities, then refine states and tokens.
Good inputs: Tailwind markup, screenshots, UI requirements, and component variants.
Boundaries: Avoids piling on classes without checking readability and accessibility.

Not best for

Non-UI backend logic, database migrations, or infrastructure debugging.
