- Ask the user for any clarifications before proceeding
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Understand the requirement: what exactly should metrics collector do?
- Read existing code in the area to follow established patterns
- Plan the implementation — identify files to create or modify
- Implement step by step, testing after each change
- Add error handling for edge cases
- Write tests covering the new functionality
