This playbook provides:

1. Strategy Explorer: - Browse different implementation strategies - See when to use each approach - View example code and tests

2. Pattern Composer: - Combine multiple patterns - Generate complete modules - Customize implementations

3. Implementation Guides: - Step-by-step instructions - Best practices - Common pitfalls to avoid

Would you like me to expand any particular section or add more patterns?
