I adopted a “props down events up” interface for all my components (using svelte right now but it should work regardless. I am importing it the approach from a datastar experiment).

I describe -often in md- the visual intent, the affordances I want to provide the users, the props+events I want it to take/emit and the general look (although the general style/look/vibe I have in md files in the project docs)

Then I take a black box approach as much as possible. Often I rewrite whole components whether with another pass of ai or manually. In the meantime I have workable placeholder faster than I can manage anything frontend.

I mostly handle the data transitions in the page components which have a fat model. Kinda ELM like except only complete save-worthy changes get handled by the page.
