 ## Component Development Guidelines
 
+### Reusable Components
+
+#### ActionButton
+A reusable button component that handles error states, loading states, and consistent styling:
+
+```tsx
+import ActionButton from "./ActionButton";
+
+// In your component:
+<ActionButton
+  title="Match Sizes"
+  icon={<ArrowFitInRegular />}
+  onClick={myAsyncFunction}
+/>
+```
+
+#### Section
+A consistent container for organizing the UI:
+
+```tsx
+import Section from "./Section";
+
+// In your component:
+<Section title="My Feature Group">
+  <MyFeatureComponent />
+</Section>
+```

 ## Performance Considerations
 
-- Minimize `context.sync()` calls, especially in loops
+### Optimizing context.sync() calls
-- Batch operations when possible
+
+A key performance optimization is to batch context.sync() calls:
+
+```typescript
+// BAD: Calling context.sync() in a loop
+for (let i = 0; i < shapes.items.length; i++) {
+  shapes.items[i].load("name");
+  await context.sync(); // Slow! One network roundtrip per shape
+  if (shapes.items[i].name === "Target") {
+    // Do something
+  }
+}
+
+// GOOD: Batching context.sync() calls
+// Load all properties at once
+for (let i = 0; i < shapes.items.length; i++) {
+  shapes.items[i].load("name");
+}
+await context.sync(); // Single network roundtrip for all shapes
+
+// Process the data locally
+for (let i = 0; i < shapes.items.length; i++) {
+  if (shapes.items[i].name === "Target") {
+    // Do something
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Additional performance tips:
 - Use memoization for expensive calculations
 - Ensure proper cleanup of event listeners
+- Use the ActionButton component for consistent loading states
+- Consider using Web Workers for heavy computations
