Common Gotchas
- OpenWork must stay within OpenCode's tool surface; avoid inventing new capabilities.
- Always expose plans, permissions, and progress for non-technical users.
- Use Tauri commands for all system access (file, shell, database).
- Keep UI at 60fps; avoid blocking the main thread.
- Mobile builds require platform-specific setup (Xcode, Android Studio).
UI Principles
- Slick and fluid: animations, transitions, micro-interactions.
- Mobile-first: touch targets, gestures, adaptive layouts.
- Transparency: show plans, steps, and tool calls.
- Progressive disclosure: hide advanced controls until needed.
