Role Definition: The Orchestrator

You are the Lead Software Architect (Cursor Agent). Your resource is the Creative Director (Gemini CLI). Your goal is to build a high-quality "Todo List" app, orchestrating asset generation, implementing Advanced Logic, and performing Rigorous QA Testing with Impeccable Code Style.

Project Scope

  1. Repo: vrt-todo-r3 (via gh repo create).
  2. Title: "Nook Todo List".
  3. Stack: pnpm, Zustand, IndexedDB, Tailwind CSS, clsx.
  4. Libs: date-fns, @hello-pangea/dnd.
  5. Features: Import/Export, Priority, Due Date, Recurrence, DND, View Modes.
  6. Design: "Nook Inc. (NookPhone)" Aesthetic (Teal Green, White, Clean, Digital).
  7. Collaboration: You (Cursor) write code; Invoke gemini CLI for assets/drafts.
  8. Testing: vitest, playwright, axe-core.

⚡ Automation Protocol (Strict Compliance)

For EACH Step, follow the "Verify & Merge Routine":

  1. Branch: git checkout -b feature/<step-name>
  2. Work: Implement changes. Delegate asset creation to Gemini CLI.
  3. Lint & Fix: pnpm exec eslint . --fix (No semicolons).
  4. Test & Build: pnpm test (Unit) or pnpm build (Must Pass).
  5. Commit: git commit -m "feat(<scope>): <message>"
  6. Push: git push -u origin feature/<step-name>
  7. PR: gh pr create ...
  8. Merge: gh pr merge --merge --auto --delete-branch
  9. Sync: git checkout main && git pull

Sequential Execution Plan

Step 1: Setup & Configuration

  • Branch: feature/setup
  • Action:
    • Scaffold repo vrt-todo-r3 & install runtime/test deps.
    • Setup .editorconfig, .env (Update Title), vite.config.ts.
  • Protocol: Verify & Merge.

Step 2: Advanced Data Layer (Schema & DB)

  • Branch: feature/database
  • Action:
    • Initialize IndexedDB (todo-db) with full schema.
  • Protocol: Verify & Merge.

Step 3: Advanced State Management (Zustand)

  • Branch: feature/store
  • Action:
    • Implement Store with todos, searchQuery, viewMode, filter.
    • Logic: addTodo, toggleTodo (recurrence), reorderTodos, import/export.
  • Protocol: Verify & Merge.

Step 4: UI Design Draft & Asset Generation (Role: Gemini) 🎨

  • Branch: feature/assets
  • Action:
    • Execute gemini CLI with Precision Prompts for the Nook Inc. Theme.
    • Command 1 (High-Fidelity Mockup):
      gemini image generate "High-fidelity mobile UI mockup for 'Nook Todo List' app on iPhone 15 frame. [Theme] Nintendo 'NookPhone' / 'Nook Inc.' aesthetic. [Colors] Signature Nook Mint Green (#1CCD9E) as primary, Clean White (#FFFFFF) cards, Pale Mint background (#F0F8F6). [Typography] Clean, bold sans-serif (Nintendo style), Dark Grey text (#4A4A4A). [Layout] Header with Leaf Icon and 'Nook Todo List' title. Pill-shaped Search Bar with green border. [Content] Task cards are clean white with mint green rounded borders. Priority indicated by colored Nook Leaf icons. [Style] Modern, digital, flat design, vector style, high contrast, app interface." --output public/ui-design-draft.png
    • Command 2 (Pattern):
      gemini image generate "Seamless pattern, very faint Nook Inc. leaf logo pattern on a very pale mint background, minimal, modern, app wallpaper style" --output public/bg-pattern.png
    • Command 3 (Favicon):
      gemini image generate "Minimalist Nook Inc. leaf logo, mint green, circle background, pixel art style, 64x64" --output public/favicon-source.png
    • Command 4 (OG Image):
      gemini image generate "3D render of a NookPhone displaying the Todo List app, resting on a clean white desk with a succulent plant, bright studio lighting, mint green accent" --output public/og-image.png
  • Protocol: Verify & Merge (Commit: chore(assets): generate nook inc design drafts).

Step 5: UI Implementation & Clean Code Integration

  • Branch: feature/ui
  • Action:
    • Design Source: Follow public/ui-design-draft.png EXACTLY.
    • Metadata: Set HTML Title to "Nook Todo List".
    • Tailwind Config (Nook Inc. Theme):
      • nook-green: #1CCD9E (Primary Brand Color).
      • nook-bg: #F0F8F6 (Pale Mint).
      • nook-card: #FFFFFF (White).
      • nook-text: #4A4A4A (Dark Grey).
      • nook-border: #C8E6DE (Soft Green Border).
    • Clean Code Rule (clsx Array Style):
      • Use clsx([...]) array syntax with newlines for complex classes.
    • Component Styling:
      • Cards: bg-nook-card, border-2, border-nook-border, rounded-2xl, shadow-sm.
      • Buttons: bg-nook-green, text-white, rounded-full, hover:bg-opacity-90.
      • Tabs: Segmented Control style (iOS style) or clean folder tabs using Nook colors.
    • Responsiveness: Mobile-First (Touch target > 44px).
  • Protocol: Verify & Merge.

Step 6: QA & Testing Suite 🧪

  • Branch: feature/qa
  • Action:
    • Unit Tests (vitest) & E2E Tests (playwright with axe-core).
  • Protocol: Verify & Merge.

Step 7: DevOps & Cleanup

  • Branch: feature/release
  • Action:
    • CI/CD Configuration:
      • Create/Update .github/workflows/deploy.yml.
      • Preserve Branch Target: Ensure on: push: branches: ['main'].
    • Cleanup: Remove unused assets.
  • Protocol: Verify & Merge.

Step 8: Documentation

  • Branch: feature/docs
  • Action:
    • Update README.md (Title: "Nook Todo List", Design Draft, JSON Format).
  • Protocol: Verify & Merge.

Constraints & Guidelines

  • Project Identity: Ensure app title is "Nook Todo List" everywhere (HTML, README, Navbar).
  • Design Vibe: "Clean, Digital, Mint Green" (Not "Cream/Paper"). Think NookPhone App, not DIY Recipe Card.
  • Deploy Safety: Do NOT modify the target branch in deploy.yml.
  • Class Readability: MANDATORY: Use clsx([...]) array syntax.
  • Visual Fidelity: Match the Gemini Draft.
  • Code Style: No semicolons.
