-## TODO
+## Component Exports
+
+Components should be exported using the following pattern:
+
+### Preferred Pattern
+
+```typescript
+export const ComponentName: React.FC<Props> = props => {
+  // component implementation
+}
+```

+## Hooks
+
+### useHandler
+
+Prefer `useHandler` over `useCallback` for event handlers and async functions:
+
+```typescript
+import { useHandler } from '../../hooks/useHandler'
+
+const handleAction = useHandler(async () => {
+  // async handler implementation
+})
+```
+
+This hook provides better TypeScript inference and handles async functions more gracefully than `useCallback`.
+
+### Custom Hooks
+
+Custom hooks should be placed in `src/hooks/` and follow the `use*` naming convention:
+
+```typescript
+// src/hooks/useMyHook.ts
+export const useMyHook = () => {
+  // hook implementation
+}
+```
+
+[Back to the top](#--react-conventions)
+
+&nbsp;
+
+----
+
+## Component Patterns
+
+### Functional Components
+
+Use functional components with hooks instead of class components:
+
+```typescript
+// preferred
+export const MyComponent: React.FC<Props> = props => {
+  const theme = useTheme()
+  const dispatch = useDispatch()
+  // component implementation
+}
+
+// avoid (unless necessary for legacy code)
+export class MyComponent extends React.Component<Props> {
+  // class component implementation
+}
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+Use proper error boundaries and avoid throwing errors in render methods. Handle errors gracefully within components.

+Renaming files or variables should always happen in their own commits, separate from any code changes.

+### Work-in-Progress Commits
+
+When working on a feature that is not yet complete, you may use "WIP" as a prefix in the commit message:
+
+```bash
+# acceptable for incomplete work
+git commit -m "WIP Theme server in Settings"
+```
+
+However, WIP commits should be cleaned up before creating a pull request. Use interactive rebase to either:
+- Complete the work and update the commit message
+- Split the WIP commit into logical, complete commits
+- Remove the WIP prefix once the work is complete
+
+WIP commits are useful for saving progress but should not be included in pull requests unless the PR is explicitly marked as a draft for early feedback.
