2. Start with the documentation:

   • Explore any rules/, resources/, references/, or scripts/ directories for additional context and utilities.

Adapting Overdrive to Your Workflow

• Mandatory Preparation: Before using Overdrive, invoke the $frontend-design protocol to gather design context and avoid anti-patterns. If no design context exists, run $teach-impeccable first.
• Propose Before Building: Think through multiple directions and propose your approach before implementation. This ensures that your "extraordinary" enhancements align with the project's goals and personality.
• Iterate with Browser Automation: Use browser automation tools to test and refine your ambitious UI features for performance and usability.
• Assess Appropriateness: What feels extraordinary in one context may be out of place in another. Always tailor your enhancements to the specific needs and tone of your project.
