There is ONE main use case for this beyond the obvious generating the artifacts to work on one at a time. + - The output of this can easily be passed to a new chat with this PO + SM gem or custom GPT and asked to deeply think or analyze through all of the extensive details to spot potential issues gaps, or inconsistences. I have not done this as I prefer to just generate and build 1 story at a time - so the utility of this I have not fully exhausted - but its an interesting idea. +- During chat: Recommend starting chat by providing all possible artifacts output from previous stages - if a file limit is hit, you can attach as a folder in thinking mode for 2.5 pro - or combine documents. The SM needs latest versions of `prd.md`, `architecture.md`, the _technically enriched_ `epicN.md...` files, and relevant reference documents the architecture references, provided after initial PM/Architect collaboration and refinement. +- The IDE version (agents folder) of the SM works on producing 1 story at a time for the dev to work on. This version is a bit different in that it will produce a single document with all remaining stories fully fleshed out at once, which then can be worked on still one on one in the IDE. diff --git a/BETA-V3/gems-and-gpts/templates/architect-checklist.txt b/BETA-V3/gems-and-gpts/templates/architect-checklist.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..acad9f6c --- /dev/null +++ b/BETA-V3/gems-and-gpts/templates/architect-checklist.txt @@ -0,0 +1,259 @@ +# Architect Solution Validation Checklist + +This checklist serves as a comprehensive framework for the Architect to validate the technical design and architecture before development execution.

They are keen on understanding the architecture (Next.js, Supabase, Vercel), specific API integrations (Play.ai PlayNote, `hnangolia`, Cheerio), LLM usage (interchangeable local Ollama and remote API-based models), local development setup (including Dockerized Supabase and CLI tooling), and deployment best practices. + +## Key Features / Scope (High-Level Ideas for MVP) + +- **Feature 1 (Content Sourcing):** Automated daily fetching of top Hacker News stories (e.g., top 10) using the `hnangolia` library. +- **Feature 2 (Content Scraping):** Scraping of linked article content using Cheerio for summarization. +- **Feature 3 (Content Summarization):** LLM-powered summarization of articles and associated Hacker News comments to create a "top 10 countdown" style daily briefing. + - Must support using a local LLM (e.g., via Ollama) during local development. + - Must support using a remote LLM (via API key) for deployed/remote environment or local development. +- **Feature 4 (Data Storage):** Comprehensive storage of all generated and retrieved assets (HN posts, comments, full scraped content, summaries, podcast URLs) in Supabase. + - Supports a local Docker version of Supabase for local development. + - Utilizes a cloud-hosted Supabase instance for the deployed application. +- **Feature 5 (Audio Generation):** Integration with the Play.ai **PlayNote API** to submit the text summary and receive a two-person AI-generated podcast link via a webhook. +- **Feature 6 (Content Generation Workflow - Automated):** A daily automated process (e.g., cron job, Vercel cron) orchestrating content sourcing, scraping, summarization, storage, and audio generation submission. +- **Feature 7 (Content Generation Workflow - Manual CLI):** A command-line interface (CLI) tool to trigger the entire content generation and storage process on-demand in the local development environment. +- **Feature 8 (Web Interface - List View):** A public web page listing generated summaries/podcasts. + - Unauthenticated users see a limited list (e.g., 3rd-5th most recent) with a call to register for full access. + - Authenticated users see all available summaries/podcasts. +- **Feature 9 (Web Interface - Detail View):** A detail page for each daily summary, displaying the full text briefing and an embedded audio player for the podcast. +- **Feature 10 (User Authentication):** User registration (email/password) and login/logout functionality using Supabase Auth. +- **Feature 11 (User Profile - Email Notifications):** Authenticated users can access a setting to toggle on/off daily email notifications for new briefings. +- **Feature 12 (Email Dispatch):** Automated daily email dispatch of the new newsletter (containing text summary highlights and podcast link) to all subscribed registered users. + +## Post MVP Features / Scope and Ideas + +- **Feature 1 (Admin Interface):** A web-based administrative interface for managing the application (e.g., view generation logs, manually trigger/re-run generation, potentially manage users or content). +- **Feature 2 (Flexible Scheduling & Editions):** Ability to configure and generate different summary cadences and types (e.g., weekly digests, "night and weekend" editions, topic-focused summaries). +- **Feature 3 (User Customization):** Allow users to customize content (e.g., choose number of stories, filter by keywords/topics). +- **Feature 4 (Expanded Content Sources):** Integrate other news sources beyond Hacker News. + +## Known Technical Constraints or Preferences + +- **Core Stack:** Next.js (frontend/backend), Supabase (database, auth, storage), Vercel (hosting, serverless functions, cron jobs). +- **Hosting Tier:** Vercel Pro tier to leverage potentially longer function execution times and other professional-grade features. +- **Content Fetching:** `hnangolia` library for Hacker News data. +- **Content Scraping:** Cheerio for HTML parsing of articles. +- **LLM:** + - Flexibility to use local LLMs (e.g., Ollama) for local development. + - Ability to use API-based LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic - specific model to be decided) for production or as an alternative in local development. Configurable via API keys. +- **Audio Generation:** Specifically use the Play.ai **PlayNote API** for its two-person podcast generation feature; webhook for callback. +- **Local Development Environment:** + - Must support running the full application stack locally. + - Local Supabase instance running in Docker. + - CLI for on-demand content generation. +- **Data Persistence:** All fetched (HN posts, comments), scraped (article content), and generated (summaries, podcast URLs) data must be stored, both locally and in the deployed environment. +- **Architecture on Vercel:** + - The daily content generation process will likely be architected as a **pipeline of multiple, chained serverless functions** to manage execution time and resources efficiently within Vercel's limits. + - Webhooks (e.g., from Play.ai) are critical for handling asynchronous operations from external services. + - Consideration for efficient batching or queuing of tasks (e.g., article scraping and summarization) to avoid hitting function timeouts or resource limits. Vercel KV or external queues (like Upstash QStash) might be explored if simple direct invocation chaining becomes insufficient. +- **Risks:** + - **Vercel Function Execution Limits:** Even on the Pro tier, individual serverless functions have execution time limits. The pipeline approach is intended to mitigate this, but complex/slow steps (especially numerous LLM calls or heavy scraping) need careful management and optimization. + - **LLM Processing Time/Cost:** LLM summarizations can be time-consuming and/or costly depending on the model and number of tokens processed. This needs to be factored into the daily processing window and operational budget. + - **Scraping Reliability:** Websites can change their structure, breaking scrapers. Anti-scraping measures could also pose a challenge. + - **External API Dependencies:** Reliance on Hacker News (`hnangolia`), LLM provider, and Play.ai means that any downtime or API changes from these services can impact the application. + - **Webhook Management:** Ensuring reliable receipt and processing of webhooks, including handling retries or failures. + - **Cold Starts:** Serverless functions can have "cold starts," which might introduce latency, especially for the first request in a while or for less frequently used functions in the pipeline.

[cite: 40, 41] +* **Hosting/Cloud Provider:** Vercel Pro tier will be used for hosting. [cite: 41] +* **Frontend Platform:** Next.js will be used for the frontend. [cite: 40, 41] +* **Backend Platform:** Next.js will also be used for the backend (serverless functions). [cite: 40, 41, 49, 50, 51, 52] +* **Database Requirements:** Supabase will be used as the database (both local Docker and cloud-hosted). [cite: 40, 41, 46, 47, 48] + +### Technical Constraints + +* The daily content generation process will likely be architected as a pipeline of multiple, chained serverless functions to manage execution time and resources efficiently within Vercel's limits. [cite: 49, 50, 51, 52] +* Vercel Function Execution Limits: Even on the Pro tier, individual serverless functions have execution time limits. The pipeline approach is intended to mitigate this, but complex/slow steps (especially numerous LLM calls or heavy scraping) need careful management and optimization. [cite: 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61] +* LLM Processing Time/Cost: LLM summarizations can be time-consuming and/or costly depending on the model and number of tokens processed. This needs to be factored into the daily processing window and operational budget. [cite: 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61] +* Scraping Reliability: Websites can change their structure, breaking scrapers. Anti-scraping measures could also pose a challenge. [cite: 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61] +* External API Dependencies: Reliance on Hacker News (`hnangolia`), LLM providers, and Play.ai means that any downtime or API changes from these services can impact the application. [cite: 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61] +* Webhook Management: Ensuring reliable receipt and processing of webhooks, including handling retries or failures. [cite: 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61] +* Cold Starts: Serverless functions can have "cold starts," which might introduce latency, especially for the first request in a while or for less frequently used functions in the pipeline. This needs to be acceptable for the user experience or generation window. [cite: 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61] +* Facades should be used for interacting with external libraries to improve testability and allow for swapping libraries. +* A factory pattern should be used for scraper implementations to facilitate adding new scrapers in the future. + +### Deployment Considerations + +* CI/CD should be set up for automatic deployments. +* Environments: Local, and Production (Vercel). [cite: 40, 41] + +### Local Development & Testing Requirements + +* Local Supabase instance should run in Docker. [cite: 46, 47, 48] +* A CLI tool should be provided for on-demand content generation. [cite: 46, 47, 48] +* Jest and React Testing Library (RTL) will be used for testing. + +### Other Technical Considerations + +* The architecture should follow layered best practices for Next.js. + +----- END PM Prompt ----- \ No newline at end of file From 67ad8b09edae5ee0f938f7efc8f9ae3c74e0ae4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Madison Date: Sun, 11 May 2025 13:08:07 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 02/22] analyst improved --- BETA-V3/gems-and-gpts/1-analyst.md | 96 +++---- BETA-V3/gems-and-gpts/2-pm.md | 15 +- BETA-V3/gems-and-gpts/3-architect-gem.md | 352 ++++++++++------------- 3 files changed, 191 insertions(+), 272 deletions(-) diff --git a/BETA-V3/gems-and-gpts/1-analyst.md b/BETA-V3/gems-and-gpts/1-analyst.md index 2b916cbc..c9626dab 100644 --- a/BETA-V3/gems-and-gpts/1-analyst.md +++ b/BETA-V3/gems-and-gpts/1-analyst.md @@ -1,52 +1,35 @@ -# Role: Brainstorming BA and RA +# Role: Analyst - A Brainstorming BA and RA Expert - - -- Perform deep market research on concepts or industries -- Facilitate creative brainstorming to explore and refine ideas -- Analyze business needs and identify market opportunities -- Research competitors and/or similar existing products -- Discover market gaps and unique value propositions -- Transform ideas into structured Project Briefs for PM handoff - - - +## Critical Start Up Operating Instructions 1.

IDE vs. UI Usage (General Recommendations): + +- **Conceptual & Planning Phases (Analyst, PM, Initial Architect Drafts):** + + - These phases are often well-suited for **web-based UIs** (e.g., Gemini Web as a Gem, or OpenAI as a custom GPT). These environments excel at conversational interaction, document generation (like Project Briefs, PRDs, initial architectural outlines), and iterative refinement of these artifacts. + - Using these UIs can also be more cost-effective for the intensive back-and-forth often required during these conceptual stages, compared to direct LLM usage within an IDE for every interaction. + - The markdown-based agent instructions (`1-analyst.md`, `2-pm.md`, etc.) are designed to be clear for LLMs operating in such UI environments. + +- **Technical Design & Implementation Phases (Detailed Architect Work, Coders):** + + - As work becomes more code-centric, an **IDE environment** offers increasing benefits. This is where code can be directly generated, existing codebases can be referenced, and testing/debugging can occur seamlessly. + - While the Architect might start outlining documents in a web UI, detailed technical specifications, configurations, and initial code scaffolding are best handled or finalized in an IDE. + - Developer agents will primarily operate within an IDE context for implementation tasks. + +- **BMAD Method Files (`*.md` in `gems-and-gpts`):** These are the operational prompts for the agents.

The level of detail should be sufficient for an AI agent or developer to implement it with minimal ambiguity. } + +#### Component: `{ComponentName}` (e.g., `UserProfileCard`, `ProductDetailsView`) + +- **Purpose:** {Briefly describe what this component does and its role in the UI.} +- **Source File(s):** {e.g., `src/components/user-profile/UserProfileCard.tsx`} +- **Visual Reference:** {Link to specific Figma frame/component, or Storybook page.} +- **Props (Properties):** + { List each prop the component accepts. } + | Prop Name | Type | Required? | Default Value | Description | + | :-------------- | :--------------------------- | :-------- | :------------ | :---------------------------------------------- | + | `userId` | `string` | Yes | N/A | The ID of the user to display. | + | `avatarUrl` | `string` | No | `null` | URL for the user\'s avatar image. | + | `onEdit` | `() => void` | No | N/A | Callback function when an edit action is triggered. | + | `variant` | `\'compact\' \| \'full\'` | No | `\'full\'` | Controls the display mode of the card. | + | `{anotherProp}` | `{type (e.g., number, boolean, customType)}` | {Yes/No} | {If any} | {Description} | +- **Internal State (if any):** + { Describe any significant internal state the component manages. Minor UI state (e.g., `isDropdownOpen`) might not need explicit listing unless complex. } + | State Variable | Type | Initial Value | Description | + | :-------------- | :--------- | :------------ | :-------------------------------------------- | + | `isLoading` | `boolean` | `false` | Tracks if data for the component is loading. | + | `{anotherState}`| `{type}` | `{value}` | {Description} | +- **Key UI Elements / Structure:** + { Describe the main visual parts of the component and their general layout. This can be a brief textual description or a very simple pseudo-HTML structure. } + ```html +

+ ``` +- **Events Handled / Emitted:** + - **Handles:** {e.g., `onClick` on the edit button.} + - **Emits:** {If the component emits custom events, describe them. e.g., `onFollow: (userId: string) => void`} +- **Actions Triggered (Side Effects):** + - **State Management:** {e.g., "Dispatches `fetchUserDetails(userId)` action on mount." "Calls `userSlice.actions.setUserName(newName)`."} + - **API Calls:** {Specify which service/function from the "API Interaction Layer" is called. e.g., "Calls `userService.fetchUser(userId)`." What data is passed? How is the response (success/error) handled? How does it update internal state or global state?} +- **Styling Notes:** + - {Reference to Design System components used (e.g., "Uses `
