+   - When defining interfaces, we provide descriptions in JSDoc format for each
+     property
+
+2. **CSS Modules**:
+
+   - Use CSS Modules for styles.
+   - Import styles using a default import named `styles`.
+
+3. **Code Style**:
+
+   - Use double quotes instead of single quotes.
+   - Follow consistent code formatting and style guidelines.
+
+4. **Dependency Management**:
+
+   - Use npm to manage dependencies.
+

+   - Prefer HTML-native roles and attributes, and use ARIA roles only as
+     necessary
+
+6. **Comments and Documentation**:
+
+   - Include quality comments and documentation in all code.
+   - Provide usage examples and prop descriptions for components.
+
+7. **Testing**:
+   - Use Jest for testing.

+
+### Example Implementation
+
+#### TypeScript Component with CSS Modules and Accessibility
+
+```tsx
+import React from "react";
+import styles from "./YourComponent.module.css";
+
+/**
+ * YourComponent is a sample component that demonstrates the use of TypeScript,
+ * CSS Modules, and accessibility best practices.
+ *
+ * @param {object} props - The component props.
+ * @param {string} props.label - The label for the component.
+ * @returns {JSX.Element} The rendered component.
+ */
+export function YourComponent({ label }: { label: string }): JSX.Element {
+  return (
+    <div className={styles.container} role="region" aria-label={label}>
+      <label className={styles.label}>{label}</label>
+      <input className={styles.input} type="text" aria-labelledby={label} />
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+#### Jest Test with Testing Library
+
+```tsx
+import React from "react";
+import { render, screen } from "@testing-library/react";
+import YourComponent from "./YourComponent";
+
+test("renders YourComponent with label", () => {
+  render(<YourComponent label="Test Label" />);
+  const labelElement = screen.getByText(/Test Label/i);
+  expect(labelElement).toBeInTheDocument();
+});
+```
