• Identify the expected outcome and acceptance criteria
• Note any constraints or requirements mentioned

2. Explore the Codebase

• Find the repository root and read the project structure
• Identify the tech stack (language, framework, test runner)
• Read README, CONTRIBUTING, or similar docs if they exist
• Find existing tests to understand testing patterns
