## Before you start
Ask what categories, modes, or product areas the user's product needs, then apply the principles below to that product rather than copying the reference.

Build a compact horizontally scrollable tab strip between major sections. Use a white background, a thin top and bottom border (#E5E5E5), evenly spaced tab labels, small colorful rounded-square icons, and left/right controls on wide screens. Keep labels in small uppercase or semibold text, use muted gray for inactive states, and use the brand accent for the active indicator or icon. On mobile, allow swipe scrolling without wrapping. Make every tab keyboard navigable and visibly focused.

Never: use logos, product names, copy, illustrations, or imagery from the reference.
