-# Inertia Vue Development
-
-## When to Apply
-
-Activate this skill when:
-
-- Creating or modifying Vue page components for Inertia
-- Working with forms in Vue (using `<Form>` or `useForm`)
-- Implementing client-side navigation with `<Link>` or `router`
-- Using v2 features: deferred props, prefetching, WhenVisible, InfiniteScroll, once props, flash data, or polling
-- Building Vue-specific features with the Inertia protocol
-
-## Documentation
-
-Use `search-docs` for detailed Inertia v2 Vue patterns and documentation.
-
-## Basic Usage
-
-### Page Components Location
-
-Vue page components should be placed in the `resources/js/pages` directory.
-
-### Page Component Structure
-
-<!-- Basic Vue Page Component -->
-```vue
-<script setup>
-defineProps({
-    users: Array
-})
-</script>
-
-<template>
-    <div>
-        <h1>Users</h1>
-        <ul>
-            <li v-for="user in users" :key="user.id">
-                {{ user.name }}
-            </li>
-        </ul>
-    </div>
-</template>
-```
-
-## Client-Side Navigation
-
-### Basic Link Component
-
-Use `<Link>` for client-side navigation instead of traditional `<a>` tags:
-
-<!-- Inertia Vue Navigation -->
-```vue
-<script setup>
-import { Link } from '@inertiajs/vue3'
-</script>
-
-<template>
-    <div>
-        <Link href="/">Home</Link>
-        <Link href="/users">Users</Link>
-        <Link :href="`/users/${user.id}`">View User</Link>
-    </div>
-</template>
-```
-
-### Link with Method
-
-<!-- Link with POST Method -->
-```vue
-<script setup>
-import { Link } from '@inertiajs/vue3'
-</script>
-
-<template>
-    <Link href="/logout" method="post" as="button">
-        Logout
-    </Link>
-</template>
-```
-
-### Prefetching
-
-Prefetch pages to improve perceived performance:
-
-<!-- Prefetch on Hover -->
-```vue
-<script setup>
-import { Link } from '@inertiajs/vue3'
-</script>
-
-<template>
-    <Link href="/users" prefetch>
-        Users
-    </Link>
-</template>
-```
-
-### Programmatic Navigation
-
-<!-- Router Visit -->
-```vue
-<script setup>
-import { router } from '@inertiajs/vue3'
-
-function handleClick() {
-    router.visit('/users')
-}
-
-// Or with options
-function createUser() {
-    router.visit('/users', {
-        method: 'post',
-        data: { name: 'John' },
-        onSuccess: () => console.log('Done'),
-    })
-}
-</script>
-
-<template>
-    <Link href="/users">Users</Link>
-    <Link href="/logout" method="post" as="button">Logout</Link>
-</template>
-```
-
-## Form Handling
-
-### Form Component (Recommended)
-
-The recommended way to build forms is with the `<Form>` component:
-
-<!-- Form Component Example -->
-```vue
-<script setup>
-import { Form } from '@inertiajs/vue3'
-</script>
-
-<template>
-    <Form action="/users" method="post" #default="{ errors, processing, wasSuccessful }">
-        <input type="text" name="name" />
-        <div v-if="errors.name">{{ errors.name }}</div>
-
-        <input type="email" name="email" />
-        <div v-if="errors.email">{{ errors.email }}</div>
-
-        <button type="submit" :disabled="processing">
-            {{ processing ? 'Creating...' : 'Create User' }}
-        </button>
-
-        <div v-if="wasSuccessful">User created!</div>
-    </Form>
-</template>
-```
-
-### Form Component With All Props
-
-<!-- Form Component Full Example -->
-```vue
-<script setup>
-import { Form } from '@inertiajs/vue3'
-</script>
-
-<template>
-    <Form
-        action="/users"
-        method="post"
-        #default="{
-            errors,
-            hasErrors,
-            processing,
-            progress,
-            wasSuccessful,
-            recentlySuccessful,
-            setError,
-            clearErrors,
-            resetAndClearErrors,
-            defaults,
-            isDirty,
-            reset,
-            submit
-        }"
-    >
-        <input type="text" name="name" :value="defaults.name" />
-        <div v-if="errors.name">{{ errors.name }}</div>
-
-        <button type="submit" :disabled="processing">
-            {{ processing ? 'Saving...' : 'Save' }}
-        </button>
-
-        <progress v-if="progress" :value="progress.percentage" max="100">
-            {{ progress.percentage }}%
-        </progress>
-
-        <div v-if="wasSuccessful">Saved!</div>
-    </Form>
-</template>
-```
-
-### Form Component Reset Props
-
-The `<Form>` component supports automatic resetting:
-
-- `resetOnError` - Reset form data when the request fails
-- `resetOnSuccess` - Reset form data when the request succeeds
-- `setDefaultsOnSuccess` - Update default values on success
-
-Use the `search-docs` tool with a query of `form component resetting` for detailed guidance.
-
-<!-- Form with Reset Props -->
-```vue
-<script setup>
-import { Form } from '@inertiajs/vue3'
-</script>
-
-<template>
-    <Form
-        action="/users"
-        method="post"
-        reset-on-success
-        set-defaults-on-success
-        #default="{ errors, processing, wasSuccessful }"
-    >
-        <input type="text" name="name" />
-        <div v-if="errors.name">{{ errors.name }}</div>
-
-        <button type="submit" :disabled="processing">
-            Submit
-        </button>
-    </Form>
-</template>
-```
-
-Forms can also be built using the `useForm` composable for more programmatic control. Use the `search-docs` tool with a query of `useForm helper` for guidance.
-
-### `useForm` Composable
-
-For more programmatic control or to follow existing conventions, use the `useForm` composable:
-
-<!-- useForm Composable Example -->
-```vue
-<script setup>
-import { useForm } from '@inertiajs/vue3'
-
-const form = useForm({
-    name: '',
-    email: '',
-    password: '',
-})
-
-function submit() {
-    form.post('/users', {
-        onSuccess: () => form.reset('password'),
-    })
-}
-</script>
-
-<template>
-    <form @submit.prevent="submit">
-        <input type="text" v-model="form.name" />
-        <div v-if="form.errors.name">{{ form.errors.name }}</div>
-
-        <input type="email" v-model="form.email" />
-        <div v-if="form.errors.email">{{ form.errors.email }}</div>
-
-        <input type="password" v-model="form.password" />
-        <div v-if="form.errors.password">{{ form.errors.password }}</div>
-
-        <button type="submit" :disabled="form.processing">
-            Create User
-        </button>
-    </form>
-</template>
-```
-
-## Inertia v2 Features
-
-### Deferred Props
-
-Use deferred props to load data after initial page render:
-
-<!-- Deferred Props with Empty State -->
-```vue
-<script setup>
-defineProps({
-    users: Array
-})
-</script>
-
-<template>
-    <div>
-        <h1>Users</h1>
-        <div v-if="!users" class="animate-pulse">
-            <div class="h-4 bg-gray-200 rounded w-3/4 mb-2"></div>
-            <div class="h-4 bg-gray-200 rounded w-1/2"></div>
-        </div>
-        <ul v-else>
-            <li v-for="user in users" :key="user.id">
-                {{ user.name }}
-            </li>
-        </ul>
-    </div>
-</template>
-```
-
-### Polling
-
-Automatically refresh data at intervals:
-
-<!-- Polling Example -->
-```vue
-<script setup>
-import { router } from '@inertiajs/vue3'
-import { onMounted, onUnmounted } from 'vue'
-
-defineProps({
-    stats: Object
-})
-
-let interval
-
-onMounted(() => {
-    interval = setInterval(() => {
-        router.reload({ only: ['stats'] })
-    }, 5000) // Poll every 5 seconds
-})
-
-onUnmounted(() => {
-    clearInterval(interval)
-})
-</script>
-
-<template>
-    <div>
-        <h1>Dashboard</h1>
-        <div>Active Users: {{ stats.activeUsers }}</div>
-    </div>
-</template>
-```
-
-### WhenVisible
-
-Lazy-load a prop when an element scrolls into view. Useful for deferring expensive data that sits below the fold:
-
-<!-- WhenVisible Example -->
-```vue
-<script setup>
-import { WhenVisible } from '@inertiajs/vue3'
-
-defineProps({
-    stats: Object
-})
-</script>
-
-<template>
-    <div>
-        <h1>Dashboard</h1>
-
-        <!-- stats prop is loaded only when this section scrolls into view -->
-        <WhenVisible data="stats" :buffer="200">
-            <template #fallback>
-                <div class="animate-pulse">Loading stats...</div>
-            </template>
-
-            <template #default="{ fetching }">
-                <div>
-                    <p>Total Users: {{ stats.total_users }}</p>
-                    <p>Revenue: {{ stats.revenue }}</p>
-                    <span v-if="fetching">Refreshing...</span>
-                </div>
-            </template>
-        </WhenVisible>
-    </div>
-</template>
-```
-
-## Server-Side Patterns
-
-Server-side patterns (Inertia::render, props, middleware) are covered in inertia-laravel guidelines.
-
-## Common Pitfalls
-
-- Using traditional `<a>` links instead of Inertia's `<Link>` component (breaks SPA behavior)
-- Forgetting that Vue components must have a single root element
-- Forgetting to add loading states (skeleton screens) when using deferred props
-- Not handling the `undefined` state of deferred props before data loads
-- Using `<form>` without preventing default submission (use `<Form>` component or `@submit.prevent`)
-- Forgetting to check if `<Form>` component is available in your Inertia version

The core use case: writing or fixing Tailwind utility classes in HTML templates (Blade, JSX, Vue).

-# Tailwind CSS Development
-
-## Documentation
-
-Use `search-docs` for detailed Tailwind CSS v4 patterns and documentation.
-
-## Basic Usage
-
-- Use Tailwind CSS classes to style HTML. Check and follow existing Tailwind conventions in the project before introducing new patterns.
-- Offer to extract repeated patterns into components that match the project's conventions (e.g., Blade, JSX, Vue).
-- Consider class placement, order, priority, and defaults. Remove redundant classes, add classes to parent or child elements carefully to reduce repetition, and group elements logically.
-
-## Tailwind CSS v4 Specifics
-
-- Always use Tailwind CSS v4 and avoid deprecated utilities.
-- `corePlugins` is not supported in Tailwind v4.
-
-### CSS-First Configuration
-
-In Tailwind v4, configuration is CSS-first using the `@theme` directive — no separate `tailwind.config.js` file is needed:
-
-<!-- CSS-First Config -->
-```css
-@theme {
-  --color-brand: oklch(0.72 0.11 178);
-}
-```
-
-### Import Syntax
-
-In Tailwind v4, import Tailwind with a regular CSS `@import` statement instead of the `@tailwind` directives used in v3:
-
-<!-- v4 Import Syntax -->
-```diff
-- @tailwind base;
-- @tailwind components;
-- @tailwind utilities;
-+ @import "tailwindcss";
-```
-
-### Replaced Utilities
-
-Tailwind v4 removed deprecated utilities. Use the replacements shown below. Opacity values remain numeric.
-
-| Deprecated | Replacement |
-|------------|-------------|
-| bg-opacity-* | bg-black/* |
-| text-opacity-* | text-black/* |
-| border-opacity-* | border-black/* |
-| divide-opacity-* | divide-black/* |
-| ring-opacity-* | ring-black/* |
-| placeholder-opacity-* | placeholder-black/* |
-| flex-shrink-* | shrink-* |
-| flex-grow-* | grow-* |
-| overflow-ellipsis | text-ellipsis |
-| decoration-slice | box-decoration-slice |
-| decoration-clone | box-decoration-clone |
-
-## Spacing
-
-Use `gap` utilities instead of margins for spacing between siblings:
-
-<!-- Gap Utilities -->
-```html
-<div class="flex gap-8">
-    <div>Item 1</div>
-    <div>Item 2</div>
-</div>
-```
-
-## Dark Mode
-
-If existing pages and components support dark mode, new pages and components must support it the same way, typically using the `dark:` variant:
-
-<!-- Dark Mode -->
-```html
-<div class="bg-white dark:bg-gray-900 text-gray-900 dark:text-white">
-    Content adapts to color scheme
-</div>
-```
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Flexbox Layout
-
-<!-- Flexbox Layout -->
-```html
-<div class="flex items-center justify-between gap-4">
-    <div>Left content</div>
-    <div>Right content</div>
-</div>
-```
-
-### Grid Layout
-
-<!-- Grid Layout -->
-```html
-<div class="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-6">
-    <div>Card 1</div>
-    <div>Card 2</div>
-    <div>Card 3</div>
-</div>
-```
-
-## Common Pitfalls
-
-- Using deprecated v3 utilities (bg-opacity-*, flex-shrink-*, etc.)
-- Using `@tailwind` directives instead of `@import "tailwindcss"`
-- Trying to use `tailwind.config.js` instead of CSS `@theme` directive
-- Using margins for spacing between siblings instead of gap utilities
-- Forgetting to add dark mode variants when the project uses dark mode

+## Native app versions and build numbers
+
+For every delivered change under `native/`, increment the app version and bundle/build number for the affected platforms in the same change before committing. Do this for fixes and follow-up changes too; do not wait for a separate release or a user reminder.
+
+- macOS changes require a higher macOS app version and `bundle.macOS.bundleVersion`.
+- iOS changes require a higher iOS app version and `bundle.iOS.bundleVersion`, including the matching Xcode `MARKETING_VERSION` and `CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION` in both `project.yml` and `project.pbxproj`.
+- Shared changes require a higher general native app version and higher bundle/build numbers for every affected platform. Android changes also require a higher `bundle.android.versionCode`; this metadata rule does not imply Android build support.
+- The app version is currently shared: keep `native/package.json`, `native/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json`, the native package entries in `Cargo.toml` and `Cargo.lock`, and the Xcode marketing versions consistent. Use a patch increment unless the requested release calls for a minor or major increment. Never decrease or reuse an existing build number.
+- Update the native release notes and run the existing version consistency test. One coordinated increment per delivered change is sufficient; intermediate edits and test reruns do not need additional increments.
+
+## Missing programs and SDKs
+
+If implementation or verification requires a missing program, SDK, runtime, toolchain, or platform component, do not download or install a temporary copy in `/tmp` or another temporary directory. Do not use an ad hoc toolchain as a workaround. Tell the user which prerequisites are missing, ask them to install them permanently and confirm when installation is complete, and wait for that confirmation before continuing dependent work. This rule applies to every implementation task in this project.

 - `laravel-best-practices` — Apply this skill whenever writing, reviewing, or refactoring Laravel PHP code. This includes creating or modifying controllers, models, migrations, form requests, policies, jobs, scheduled commands, service classes, and Eloquent queries. Triggers for N+1 and query performance issues, caching strategies, authorization and security patterns, validation, error handling, queue and job configuration, route definitions, and architectural decisions. Also use for Laravel code reviews and refactoring existing Laravel code to follow best practices. Covers any task involving Laravel backend PHP code patterns.
 - `mcp-development` — Use this skill for Laravel MCP development only. Trigger when creating or editing MCP tools, resources, prompts, or servers in Laravel projects. Covers: artisan make:mcp-* generators, mcp:inspector, routes/ai.php, Tool/Resource/Prompt classes, schema validation, shouldRegister(), OAuth setup, URI templates, read-only attributes, and MCP debugging. Do not use for non-Laravel MCP projects or generic AI features without MCP.
 - `wayfinder-development` — Use this skill for Laravel Wayfinder which auto-generates typed functions for Laravel controllers and routes. ALWAYS use this skill when frontend code needs to call backend routes or controller actions. Trigger when: connecting any React/Vue/Svelte/Inertia frontend to Laravel controllers, routes, building end-to-end features with both frontend and backend, wiring up forms or links to backend endpoints, fixing route-related TypeScript errors, importing from @/actions or @/routes, or running wayfinder:generate. Use Wayfinder route functions instead of hardcoded URLs. Covers: wayfinder() vite plugin, .url()/.get()/.post()/.form(), query params, route model binding, tree-shaking. Do not use for backend-only task
-- `inertia-vue-development` — Develops Inertia.js v2 Vue client-side applications. Activates when creating Vue pages, forms, or navigation; using <Link>, <Form>, useForm, or router; working with deferred props, prefetching, or polling; or when user mentions Vue with Inertia, Vue pages, Vue forms, or Vue navigation.
-- `tailwindcss-development` — Always invoke when the user's message includes 'tailwind' in any form. Also invoke for: building responsive grid layouts (multi-column card grids, product grids), flex/grid page structures (dashboards with sidebars, fixed topbars, mobile-toggle navs), styling UI components (cards, tables, navbars, pricing sections, forms, inputs, badges), adding dark mode variants, fixing spacing or typography, and Tailwind v3/v4 work. The core use case: writing or fixing Tailwind utility classes in HTML templates (Blade, JSX, Vue). Skip for backend PHP logic, database queries, API routes, JavaScript with no HTML/CSS component, CSS file audits, build tool configuration, and vanilla CSS.
