### Screenshot Tips
**Tools:**

**Naming Convention:**
```
docs/images/ui/
├── 01-landing-screen.png
├── 02-first-message.png
├── 03-chat-messages.png

├── 05-markdown-rendering.png
...
```
**After Capturing:**
1. Create `docs/images/ui/` directory
2. Save screenshots with descriptive names
3. Replace placeholder text in UI_USER_GUIDE.md:
