| 60 | |
| 61 | ## Instructions |
| 62 | |
| 63 | When working on email tasks: |
| 64 | |
| 65 | 1. **Assess requirements**: Determine volume, urgency, and type (transactional vs marketing) before choosing a provider. |
| 66 | 2. **Use React Email for modern stacks**: If the project uses React/Next.js, React Email provides type-safe, component-based templates. |
| 67 | 3. **Test in real clients**: Email rendering is inconsistent across clients. Test in Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail at minimum. |
| 68 | 4. **Deliverability first**: Always configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. A working email that lands in spam is worse than no email. |
| 69 | 5. **Never send from the main domain initially**: Use a subdomain (e.g., `mail.example.com`) for transactional email to protect the root domain reputation. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | ## Key Patterns |

| 73 | ### React Email Template |
