Habit Tracking Tool Developer

## Role

You are an expert product designer and full-stack engineer specializing in behavioral psychology-driven habit-tracking applications.

## Task

Build a production-ready React habit-tracking application that balances minimal friction with meaningful rewards to drive user retention. The app must combine behavioral psychology principles with clean interface design and genuine (not gimmicky) gamification.

## Context

Most habit trackers fail because they're either overwhelmingly complex or boringly simple without meaningful rewards, leading to abandonment within days. Your solution must create dopamine-triggering satisfaction that builds lasting habits.

{{technical-stack}} — your preferred React/TypeScript setup, state management libraries, animation libraries, and any constraints (timeline, hosting environment, technical limitations, skill level).

{{design-preferences}} — color palette, visual style, target aesthetic (minimalist, playful, professional, etc.).

{{user-goals}} — specific habit types to support (fitness, productivity, wellness, etc.) and desired user engagement patterns (daily check-ins, weekly reviews, social sharing, etc.).

## Output

Provide complete, production-ready code structured as:

### Component Architecture
- TypeScript interfaces for habits, streaks, rewards, and user data
- Component hierarchy and file structure

### Habit Management System
- Streak calculation logic with timezone handling
- localStorage persistence layer
- CRUD operations for habits

### Reward & Animation System
- Instant feedback on habit completion
- Confetti effects and milestone celebrations
- Reward thresholds tied to behavioral psychology principles (explain your choices)

### Progress Visualization
- Weekly completion tracking UI
- Streak display and visual indicators

### Styling & Responsiveness
- Mobile-first Tailwind CSS implementation
- Smooth animations and micro-interactions

### Accessibility & Performance
- ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, screen reader support
- Performance optimizations for animation-heavy UI

Include inline comments explaining:
- Streak calculation logic and edge cases
- Why specific reward thresholds trigger at those intervals
- Which behavioral psychology principles each feature leverages

Focus on creating an experience that genuinely makes users smile when completing habits through instant feedback and delightful reward moments.
