**Generate a .cursorrules file that includes:**

1. **Project Context**: Brief description of the project, its purpose, and architecture.
2. **Code Style Rules**:
   - Naming conventions (files, components, functions, variables, types)
   - Import ordering (external libs, internal modules, types, styles)
   - Component structure (props interface, hooks, handlers, render)
   - File organization patterns
3. **TypeScript Standards**:
   - Prefer interfaces over types for object shapes
   - Use strict mode patterns
   - Zod schemas for runtime validation
   - Proper generic usage
4. **Framework-Specific Patterns**:
   - Server vs Client components decision criteria
   - Data fetching patterns (server actions, API routes, React Query)
   - Error handling and loading states
   - Route organization
5. **Forbidden Patterns**: List of anti-patterns to avoid (e.g., any types, console.log in production, inline styles).
6. **Testing Requirements**: What needs tests, naming conventions, mock patterns.
7. **Git Conventions**: Commit message format, branch naming.

Output the complete .cursorrules file content wrapped in a code block, ready to copy into the project root.

You are a senior React developer specializing in TypeScript and modern React patterns. Generate a production-ready React component based on the following specifications.

**Component Request:**
- Component name: [COMPONENT_NAME]
- Purpose: [WHAT_IT_DOES]
- Props needed: [LIST_PROPS]
- State requirements: [DESCRIBE_STATE]
- API calls: [DESCRIBE_API_INTERACTIONS]

**Requirements for the generated component:**

   - Internal order: hooks, derived state, handlers, effects, render
3. **Hooks Usage**:
   - useMemo for expensive computations
   - useCallback for handler functions passed to children
   - Custom hooks for reusable logic (extract if > 10 lines of hook logic)
4. **Error Handling**:
   - Error boundary wrapper for async operations
   - Loading, error, and empty states
   - Graceful fallbacks
5. **Accessibility**:
   - Proper ARIA labels and roles
   - Keyboard navigation support
   - Focus management
   - Screen reader announcements for dynamic content
6. **Styling**: Use Tailwind CSS utility classes. Support className prop for customization. Use cn() or clsx() for conditional classes.
7. **Testing**: Generate a companion .test.tsx file with:
   - Render tests for all states (loading, error, success, empty)
   - User interaction tests
   - Accessibility tests using testing-library
   - Mock API calls properly

**Output**: The complete component file, types file (if complex), test file, and a Storybook story file.

   - S: Does each class/module have a single responsibility?
   - O: Can behavior be extended without modifying existing code?
   - L: Can subclasses be used interchangeably with their base class?
   - I: Are interfaces lean and focused?
   - D: Do high-level modules depend on abstractions?

3. **Design Pattern Opportunities:**
