Prompt
I have the following idea and I want you to
create a new GitHub issue for it.
Ask me any clarifying questions.
When planning, always do a research.
But only look at the official documentation
for the packages we use
(not blog posts or unofficial GitHub repos).
Always give implementation suggestions.
I don't want you to plan the implementation
as such. The plan is to create a new GitHub
issue for my idea so another dev can work
on it.
