## Quick Routes

| Task | Path |
|------|------|
| **UI/Frontend** | `ui-navigation.md` |
| **When to delegate frontend** | `frontend/when-to-delegate.md` |
| **Backend/API** | `backend-navigation.md` |
| **Full-stack** | `fullstack-navigation.md` |
| **Clean code** | `principles/clean-code.md` |
| **API design** | `principles/api-design.md` |

---

## By Concern

**Principles** → Universal development practices
**Frameworks** → Full-stack frameworks (Tanstack Start, Next.js)
**AI** → AI frameworks and agent runtimes (MAStra AI)
**Frontend** → React patterns and component design
**Backend** → APIs, Node.js, Python, auth (future)
**Data** → SQL, NoSQL, ORMs (future)
**Integration** → Packages, APIs, services (future)
**Infrastructure** → Docker, CI/CD (future)
