  • If no clear agreement exists yet, list the main approaches discussed and their trade-offs

Progress Completed

  • List specific steps/tasks we've finished
  • Include key files modified or created
  • Note successful tests, builds, or validations

Current Issue

  • Describe the specific problem, failure, or sticking point we're addressing
  • Include relevant error messages, failed commands, or unexpected behavior
  • Note which approaches we've tried that didn't work

Technical Context

  • File paths of code we've examined or modified
  • Commands we've run and their outcomes
  • Dependencies, frameworks, or tools involved

Important Code Snippets

  • Include key code changes we've made (with file paths and line numbers)
  • Show problematic code that's causing issues
  • Highlight working solutions or patterns we've discovered
  • Add brief explanations of what each snippet does or why it's significant

Next Steps

  • Immediate actions needed to resolve current blocker
  • Follow-up tasks once current issue is resolved
