# How to Use This Implementation Plan with AI Coding Assistants

1. **Save this plan** as a markdown (.md) file in your project directory
2. **Open the file** in your preferred code editor with Cursor or Windsurf AI assistant
3. **Copy and paste** the following prompt to your AI assistant:

   "I want to implement this project following the implementation plan in this file. Let's start with the first unchecked item. For each step: 1) Ask me any clarifying questions if something is unclear before proceeding, 2) Explain what needs to be done, 3) Write the necessary code, 4) Check the box when complete (change `- [ ]` to `- [x]`), then 5) Move to the next unchecked item. After completing logical groups of steps, commit the changes with a descriptive message. Let's begin with step #1."

4. **Track your progress** by checking off completed items as you go
5. **Commit regularly** after logical groups of steps are completed
