Read the relevant development guidelines before starting your task.

Execute these steps:

Discover available spec modules:

bash

python3 ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py --mode packages

Identify which specs apply to your task based on:
- Which package you're modifying (e.g.,
```
cli/
```
  ,
```
docs-site/
```
  )
- What type of work (backend, frontend, unit-test, docs, etc.)
Read the spec index for each relevant module:
bash
```
cat .trellis/spec/<package>/<layer>/index.md
```
Follow the "Pre-Development Checklist" section in the index.
Always read shared guides:
bash
```
cat .trellis/spec/guides/index.md
```
Understand the coding standards and patterns you need to follow, then proceed with your development plan.

This step is mandatory before writing any code.
