+## Core Capabilities
+
+### 1. Issue Diagnosis
+
+**Function**: `diagnose_issue(code_path, description="")`
+
+Analyzes existing Bubble Tea code to identify common issues:
+
+**Common Issues Detected**:
+- **Slow Event Loop**: Blocking operations in Update() or View()
+- **Memory Leaks**: Unreleased resources, goroutine leaks
+- **Message Ordering**: Incorrect assumptions about concurrent messages
+- **Layout Arithmetic**: Hardcoded dimensions, incorrect lipgloss calculations
+- **Model Architecture**: Flat models that should be hierarchical
+- **Terminal Recovery**: Missing panic recovery
+- **Testing Gaps**: No teatest coverage
+
+**Analysis Process**:
+1. Parse Go code to extract Model, Update, View functions
+2. Check for blocking operations in event loop
+3. Identify hardcoded layout values
+4. Analyze message handler patterns
+5. Check for concurrent command usage
+6. Validate terminal cleanup code
+7. Generate diagnostic report with severity levels
+
+**Output Format**:
+```python
+{
+    "issues": [

+    ]
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Performance Debugging
+
+**Function**: `debug_performance(code_path, profile_data="")`
+
+Identifies performance bottlenecks in Bubble Tea applications:
+
+**Analysis Areas**:
+1. **Event Loop Profiling**
+   - Measure Update() execution time
+   - Identify slow message handlers
+   - Check for blocking operations
+
+2. **View Rendering**

+    "bottlenecks": [
+        {
+            "function": "Update",
+            "location": "main.go:67",
+            "time_ms": 45,
+            "threshold_ms": 16,
+            "issue": "HTTP request blocks event loop",
+            "fix": "Move to tea.Cmd goroutine"
+        }
+    ],
+    "metrics": {
+        "avg_update_time": "12ms",
+        "avg_view_time": "3ms",
+        "memory_allocations": 1250,
+        "goroutines": 8
+    },

+        "Move HTTP calls to background commands",
+        "Use strings.Builder for View() composition",
+        "Cache expensive lipgloss styles"
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Architecture Suggestions
+
+**Function**: `suggest_architecture(code_path, complexity_level)`
+
+Recommends architectural improvements for Bubble Tea applications:
+
+**Pattern Recognition**:
+1. **Flat Model → Model Tree**
+   - Detect when single model becomes too complex
+   - Suggest splitting into child models
+   - Provide refactoring template
+
+2. **Single View → Multi-View**
+   - Identify state-based view switching
+   - Suggest view router pattern
+   - Provide navigation template
+
+3. **Monolithic → Composable**
+   - Detect tight coupling
+   - Suggest component extraction
+   - Provide composable model pattern
+
+**Refactoring Templates**:
+
+**Model Tree Pattern**:
+```go
+type ParentModel struct {
+    activeView int
+    listModel  list.Model
+    formModel  form.Model
+    viewerModel viewer.Model
+}
+
+func (m ParentModel) Update(msg tea.Msg) (tea.Model, tea.Cmd) {
+    var cmd tea.Cmd
+
+    // Route to active child
+    switch m.activeView {
+    case 0:
+        m.listModel, cmd = m.listModel.Update(msg)
+    case 1:
+        m.formModel, cmd = m.formModel.Update(msg)
+    case 2:
+        m.viewerModel, cmd = m.viewerModel.Update(msg)
+    }
+
+    return m, cmd
+}
+```
+
+**Output Format**:
+```python
+{
+    "current_pattern": "flat_model",
+    "complexity_score": 85,  # 0-100, higher = more complex
+    "recommended_pattern": "model_tree",
+    "refactoring_steps": [
+        "Extract list functionality to separate model",
+        "Extract form functionality to separate model",
+        "Create parent router model",
+        "Implement message routing"
+    ],
+    "code_templates": {
+        "parent_model": "...",
+        "child_models": "...",
+        "message_routing": "..."
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Layout Issue Fixes
+
+**Function**: `fix_layout_issues(code_path, description="")`
+
+Diagnoses and fixes common Lipgloss layout problems:
+
+**Common Layout Issues**:
+
+1. **Hardcoded Dimensions**
+   ```go
+   // ❌ BAD
+   content := lipgloss.NewStyle().Width(80).Height(24).Render(text)
+
+   // ✅ GOOD
+   termWidth, termHeight, _ := term.GetSize(int(os.Stdout.Fd()))
+   content := lipgloss.NewStyle().
+       Width(termWidth).
+       Height(termHeight - 2).  // Leave room for status bar
+       Render(text)
+   ```
+
+2. **Incorrect Height Calculation**
+   ```go
+   // ❌ BAD
+   availableHeight := 24 - 3  // Hardcoded
+
+   // ✅ GOOD
+   statusBarHeight := lipgloss.Height(m.renderStatusBar())
+   availableHeight := m.termHeight - statusBarHeight
+   ```
+
+3. **Missing Margin/Padding Accounting**
+   ```go
+   // ❌ BAD
+   content := lipgloss.NewStyle().
+       Padding(2).
+       Width(80).
+       Render(text)  // Text area is 76, not 80!
+
+   // ✅ GOOD
+   style := lipgloss.NewStyle().Padding(2)
+   contentWidth := 80 - style.GetHorizontalPadding()
+   content := style.Width(80).Render(
+       lipgloss.NewStyle().Width(contentWidth).Render(text)
+   )
+   ```
+
+4. **Overflow Issues**
+   ```go
+   // ❌ BAD
+   content := longText  // Can exceed terminal width
+
+   // ✅ GOOD
+   import "github.com/muesli/reflow/wordwrap"
+   content := wordwrap.String(longText, m.termWidth)
+   ```
+
+**Output Format**:
+```python
+{
+    "layout_issues": [
+        {
+            "type": "hardcoded_dimensions",
+            "location": "main.go:89",
+            "current_code": "Width(80).Height(24)",
+            "fixed_code": "Width(m.termWidth).Height(m.termHeight - statusHeight)",
+            "explanation": "Terminal size may vary, use dynamic sizing"
+        }
+    ],
+    "lipgloss_improvements": [
+        "Use GetHorizontalPadding() for nested styles",
+        "Calculate available space with lipgloss.Height()",
+        "Handle terminal resize with tea.WindowSizeMsg"
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Comprehensive Analysis
+
+**Function**: `comprehensive_bubbletea_analysis(code_path)`
+
+Performs complete health check of Bubble Tea application:
+
+**Analysis Sections**:
+1. Issue diagnosis (from diagnose_issue)
+2. Best practices compliance (from apply_best_practices)
+3. Performance analysis (from debug_performance)
+4. Architecture recommendations (from suggest_architecture)
+5. Layout validation (from fix_layout_issues)
+
+**Output Format**:
+```python
+{
+    "overall_health": 78,  # 0-100
+    "sections": {
+        "issues": {...},
+        "best_practices": {...},
+        "performance": {...},
+        "architecture": {...},
+        "layout": {...}
+    },
+    "summary": "Application is in good health with minor performance improvements needed",
+    "priority_fixes": [
+        "CRITICAL: Fix blocking operation in Update() (main.go:45)",
+        "WARNING: Add terminal recovery code",
+        "INFO: Consider refactoring to model tree pattern"
+    ],
+    "estimated_fix_time": "2-4 hours"
+}
+```
+
+## Workflow for Users
+
+### Typical Usage Flow:
+
+1. **User reports issue**: "My TUI is slow when typing"
+2. **Agent diagnoses**: Runs `debug_performance()` to identify bottleneck
+3. **Agent explains**: "Found blocking regex operation in Update() taking 45ms"
+4. **Agent fixes**: Provides code to move operation to tea.Cmd
+5. **Agent validates**: Runs `comprehensive_analysis()` to confirm fix
+
+### Example Session:
+
+```
+User: "My log viewer is lagging when I scroll"
+
+Agent: Let me analyze your code...
+
+[Runs debug_performance()]
+
+Found the issue! Your View() function is:
+1. Re-reading the entire log file on every render (200ms)
+2. Processing all lines instead of visible viewport
+
+Here's the fix:
+- Cache log lines in model, only update when file changes
+- Use viewport.Model to handle scrolling efficiently
+- Only render visible lines (viewport.YOffset to YOffset + Height)
+
+[Provides code diff]
+
+This should reduce render time from 200ms to ~2ms.
+```
+
+## Technical Knowledge Base
+
+### Bubble Tea Architecture
+
+**The Elm Architecture**:
+```
+┌─────────────┐
+│    Model    │  ← Your application state
+└─────────────┘
+      ↓
+┌─────────────┐
+│   Update    │  ← Message handler (events → state changes)
+└─────────────┘
+      ↓
+┌─────────────┐
+│    View     │  ← Render function (state → string)
+└─────────────┘
+      ↓
+   Terminal
+```
+
+**Event Loop**:
+```go
+1. User presses key → tea.KeyMsg
+2. Update(tea.KeyMsg) → new model + tea.Cmd
+3. tea.Cmd executes → returns new msg
+4. Update(new msg) → new model
+5. View() renders new model → terminal
+```
+
+**Performance Rule**: Update() and View() must be FAST (<16ms for 60fps)
+
+### Common Patterns
+
+**1. Loading Data Pattern**:
+```go
+type model struct {
+    loading bool
+    data    []string
+    err     error
+}
+
+func loadData() tea.Msg {
+    // This runs in goroutine, not in event loop
+    data, err := fetchData()
+    return dataLoadedMsg{data: data, err: err}
+}
+
+func (m model) Update(msg tea.Msg) (tea.Model, tea.Cmd) {
+    switch msg := msg.(type) {
+    case tea.KeyMsg:
+        if msg.String() == "r" {
+            m.loading = true
+            return m, loadData  // Return command, don't block
+        }
+    case dataLoadedMsg:
+        m.loading = false
+        m.data = msg.data
+        m.err = msg.err
+    }
+    return m, nil
+}
+```
+
+**2. Model Tree Pattern**:
+```go
+type appModel struct {
+    activeView int
+
+    // Child models manage themselves
+    listView   listModel
+    detailView detailModel
+    searchView searchModel
+}
+
+func (m appModel) Update(msg tea.Msg) (tea.Model, tea.Cmd) {
+    // Global keys (navigation)
+    if key, ok := msg.(tea.KeyMsg); ok {
+        switch key.String() {
+        case "1": m.activeView = 0; return m, nil
+        case "2": m.activeView = 1; return m, nil
+        case "3": m.activeView = 2; return m, nil
+        }
+    }
+
+    // Route to active child
+    var cmd tea.Cmd
+    switch m.activeView {
+    case 0:
+        m.listView, cmd = m.listView.Update(msg)
+    case 1:
+        m.detailView, cmd = m.detailView.Update(msg)
+    case 2:
+        m.searchView, cmd = m.searchView.Update(msg)
+    }
+
+    return m, cmd
+}
+
+func (m appModel) View() string {
+    switch m.activeView {
+    case 0: return m.listView.View()
+    case 1: return m.detailView.View()
+    case 2: return m.searchView.View()
+    }
+    return ""
+}
+```
+
+**3. Message Passing Between Models**:
+```go
+type itemSelectedMsg struct {
+    itemID string
+}
+
+// Parent routes message to all children
+func (m appModel) Update(msg tea.Msg) (tea.Model, tea.Cmd) {
+    switch msg := msg.(type) {
+    case itemSelectedMsg:
+        // List sent this, detail needs to know
+        m.detailView.LoadItem(msg.itemID)
+        m.activeView = 1  // Switch to detail view
+    }
+
+    // Update all children
+    var cmds []tea.Cmd
+    m.listView, cmd := m.listView.Update(msg)
+    cmds = append(cmds, cmd)
+    m.detailView, cmd = m.detailView.Update(msg)
+    cmds = append(cmds, cmd)
+
+    return m, tea.Batch(cmds...)
+}
+```
+
+**4. Dynamic Layout Pattern**:
+```go
+func (m model) View() string {
+    // Always use current terminal size
+    headerHeight := lipgloss.Height(m.renderHeader())
+    footerHeight := lipgloss.Height(m.renderFooter())
+
+    availableHeight := m.termHeight - headerHeight - footerHeight
+
+    content := lipgloss.NewStyle().
+        Width(m.termWidth).
+        Height(availableHeight).
+        Render(m.renderContent())
+
+    return lipgloss.JoinVertical(
+        lipgloss.Left,
+        m.renderHeader(),
+        content,
+        m.renderFooter(),
+    )
+}
+```

+
+## Troubleshooting Guide
+
+### Issue: Slow/Laggy TUI
+**Diagnosis Steps**:
+1. Profile Update() execution time
+2. Profile View() execution time
+3. Check for blocking I/O
+4. Check for expensive string operations
+
+**Common Fixes**:
+- Move I/O to tea.Cmd goroutines
+- Use strings.Builder in View()
+- Cache expensive lipgloss styles
+- Reduce re-renders with smart diffing
+
+### Issue: Terminal Gets Messed Up
+**Diagnosis Steps**:
+1. Check for panic recovery
+2. Check for tea.EnableMouseAllMotion cleanup
+3. Validate proper program.Run() usage
+
+**Fix Template**:
+```go
+func main() {
+    defer func() {
+        if r := recover(); r != nil {
+            // Restore terminal
+            tea.DisableMouseAllMotion()
+            tea.ShowCursor()
+            fmt.Println("Panic:", r)
+            os.Exit(1)
+        }
+    }()
+
+    p := tea.NewProgram(initialModel())
+    if err := p.Start(); err != nil {
+        fmt.Println("Error:", err)
+        os.Exit(1)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Issue: Layout Overflow/Clipping
+**Diagnosis Steps**:
+1. Check for hardcoded dimensions
+2. Check lipgloss padding/margin accounting
+3. Verify terminal resize handling
+
+**Fix Checklist**:
+- [ ] Use dynamic terminal size from tea.WindowSizeMsg
+- [ ] Use lipgloss.Height() and lipgloss.Width() for calculations
+- [ ] Account for padding with GetHorizontalPadding()/GetVerticalPadding()
+- [ ] Use wordwrap for long text
+- [ ] Test with small terminal sizes
+
+### Issue: Messages Arriving Out of Order
+**Diagnosis Steps**:
+1. Check for concurrent tea.Cmd usage
+2. Check for state assumptions about message order
+3. Validate state machine handles any order
+
+**Fix**:
+- Use state machine with explicit states
+- Don't assume operation A completes before B
+- Use message types to track operation identity
+
+```go
+type model struct {
+    operations map[string]bool  // Track concurrent ops
+}
+
+type operationStartMsg struct { id string }
+type operationDoneMsg struct { id string, result string }
+
+func (m model) Update(msg tea.Msg) (tea.Model, tea.Cmd) {
+    switch msg := msg.(type) {
+    case operationStartMsg:
+        m.operations[msg.id] = true
+    case operationDoneMsg:
+        delete(m.operations, msg.id)
+        // Handle result
+    }
+    return m, nil
+}
+```
