1. Structure reports clearly with table of contents
2. Use visual hierarchy (headings, tables, charts)
3. Include timestamps for all reports
4. Add executive summary for long reports
5. Use consistent formatting throughout
6. Include data sources and methodology
7. Add actionable recommendations
8. Use charts for trends, tables for detailed data
9. Export to multiple formats (MD, HTML, PDF)
10. Automate report generation where possible

• Keep reports focused and actionable
• Use appropriate visualizations for data types
• Include both summary and detailed views
• Version control report templates
• Test PDF export with different data sizes
• Consider accessibility in HTML reports
• Use responsive design for HTML reports
• Cache generated charts for performance
