+
+## IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
+
+### Next Steps (Recommended Order):
+
+1. **Planner Pages** - High traffic, high impact
+2. **Writer Page** - Core functionality
+3. **Add Keywords Page** - Entry point for users
+4. **Thinker/AI Prompts Page** - Advanced users
+5. **Account & Settings Pages** - Lower priority but complete the experience
+6. **Help & Documentation** - Can be done last
+
+### Search Strategy for Finding Files:
+
+```bash
+# Find specific pages
+find frontend/src/pages -name "*.tsx" | grep -i "planner\|writer\|thinker\|setup"
+
+# Search for specific text to locate components
+grep -r "Content Queue" frontend/src/pages/
+grep -r "AI Prompts Management" frontend/src/pages/
+grep -r "Add Keywords" frontend/src/pages/
+```
+
+### Testing Strategy:
+
+After each section:
+1. Run the dev server and visually verify changes
+2. Check that tooltips appear correctly
+3. Ensure no broken layouts
+4. Verify text fits in UI components
+5. Test dark mode appearance
+
+---
+
+## IMPORTANT REMINDERS
+
+### What to Change:
+✅ User-facing text, labels, headers  
+✅ Button text, tooltip text  
+✅ Descriptions, help text  
+✅ Display labels (e.g., showing "Done - Ready to Review" for a "completed" status)
+
+### What NOT to Change:
+❌ Backend status field values in database  
+❌ API response structures  
+❌ URL slugs or routes  
+❌ Code variable names  
+❌ Database column names  
+❌ Internal logic or calculations  
+❌ Actual enum values or status codes
+
+### Code Pattern:
+When updating status displays, use this pattern:
+```tsx
+// WRONG - Don't change the actual value
+status = "completed" // ❌ Don't change this
+
+// RIGHT - Only change the display
+{status === "completed" ? "Done - Ready to Review" : status} // ✅ This is fine
+```
+
