      "recommendations": [
        "Each component should have a single responsibility, focusing on a specific functionality.",
        "Use clear and descriptive names for components, such as 'UserProfile' or 'ProductList'.",

        "For component-specific data, manage state locally within the component to maintain simplicity.",
