- [What three AI design tools taught me about Claude skills](https://react-japan.dev/articles/three-design-tools-one-model) — I redesigned my landing page three times with three AI design tools, all on the same model. What actually drove the quality was not what I expected.
- [How I keep Claude from writing React anti-patterns](https://react-japan.dev/articles/claude-react-anti-patterns) — Claude defaulted to two anti-patterns I'd have corrected in review. The deeper cost isn't the bug, it's what bad patterns become.
- [Zero warnings is the quality bar I set before letting AI write any code](https://react-japan.dev/articles/zero-warnings) — My leverage with Claude didn't come from better prompts. It came from a lint config I've been refining for years.
- [Instructing AI is a programming language](https://react-japan.dev/articles/instructing-ai-programming-language) — The loop is the same as it's always been. It's the feedback speed that's new.
- [The ESLint config I stopped copy-pasting between projects](https://react-japan.dev/articles/shareable-eslint-config) — Copying my ESLint config between projects gave me five things to maintain. In practice, I maintained one.
- [Level up your workflow with ESLint fix on save](https://react-japan.dev/articles/eslint-fix-on-save) — Most teams run ESLint at commit or in CI, and miss the single most useful thing it does.
- [Empathetic Coding - Button Component](https://react-japan.dev/articles/empathetic-coding-button-component) — A step-by-step build of a flexible Button component using empathetic coding: native parity, reasonable defaults, escape hatches, sizes, variants, icons, and loading states.
- [Empathetic Coding](https://react-japan.dev/articles/empathetic-coding) — Empathetic coding focuses on the next developer who has to use what you build.
