# BMAD-METHOD
# BMad Method V2
[![Version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/bmad-method?color=blue&label=version)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bmad-method)
[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](LICENSE)
[![Node.js Version](https://img.shields.io/badge/node-%3E%3D20.0.0-brightgreen)](https://nodejs.org)
[![Discord](https://img.shields.io/badge/Discord-Join%20Community-7289da?logo=discord&logoColor=white)](https://discord.gg/g6ypHytrCB)
V2 was the major fix to the shortcomings of V1.
**AI-Powered Agile Development Framework** - Transform your software development with specialized AI agents that work as your complete Agile team.
Templates were introduced, and separated from the agents themselves. Also aside from templates, checklists were introduced to give more power in actually vetting the the documents or artifacts being produced were valid and of high quality through a forced round of advanced elicitation.
📺 **[Subscribe to BMadCode on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@BMadCode?sub_confirmation=1)** - V4 walkthrough and comprehensive guide coming soon!
During V2, this is where the discovery of the power of Gemini Gems and Custom GPTs came to light, really indicating how powerful and cost effective it can be to utilize the Web for a lot of the initial planning, but doing it in a structured repeatable way!
**If you find this project helpful or useful, please give it a star!** It helps others discover BMAD-METHOD and you will be notified of updates!
The Web Agents were all granular and clearly defined - a much simpler system, but also somewhat of a pain to create each agent separately in the web while also having to manually export and reimport each document when going agent to agent.
## 🚀 Quick Start
Also one confusing aspect was that there were duplicates of temples and checklists for the web versions and the ide versions.
### Fastest Start: Web UI (2 minutes) 🏃‍♂️
1. **Get the bundle**: Copy `dist/teams/team-fullstack.txt` (from this repository)
2. **Create AI agent**: Create a new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT
3. **Upload & configure**: Upload the file and set instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
4. **Start Ideating and Planning**: Start chatting! Type `*help` to see available commands or pick an agent like `*analyst` to start right in on creating a brief.
> 💡 **All pre-built bundles are in the `dist/` folder** - ready to copy and use immediately!
### IDE Quick Start (5 minutes) 💻
**Prerequisites**: Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) (v20 or higher)
Run `npx bmad-method install`
This installs all agents and configures them for your IDE. If you have an existing v3 installation, it will offer to upgrade it automatically.

## Overview
BMAD-METHOD (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI-Driven Development) revolutionizes software development by providing specialized AI agents for every role in an Agile team. Each agent has deep expertise in their domain and can collaborate to deliver complete software projects.
### Why BMAD?
- **🎯 Specialized Expertise**: Each agent is an expert in their specific role
- **🔄 True Agile Workflow**: Follows real Agile methodologies and best practices
- **📦 Modular Design**: Use one agent or an entire team
- **🛠️ IDE Integration**: Works seamlessly with Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf
- **🌐 Platform Agnostic**: Use with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI platform
## Installation
### Method 1: Pre-Built Web Bundles (Fastest) 📦
For ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini web interfaces:
1. Choose a bundle:
- **Recommended**: `dist/teams/team-fullstack.txt` (complete development team)
- Or pick from individual agents in `dist/agents/`
2. Upload to your AI platform (Gemini Gem, CustomGPT, or directly in chat)
3. Set instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
4. Type `/help` to see available commands
### Method 2: CLI Installer (For IDEs) 🎯
**Prerequisites**: Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v20+ first
Install directly into your project: `npx bmad-method install`
**Supported IDEs:**
The BMad Method works with any IDE, but has built-in integration for:
- `cursor` - Cursor IDE with @agent commands
- `claude-code` - Claude Code with /agent commands
- `windsurf` - Windsurf with @agent commands
- `roo` - Roo Code with custom modes (see `.roomodes`)
- More coming soon - BUT ITS easy to use with ANY IDE - just copy the bmad-code folder to your project, and rename it .bmad-code.
## Available Agents
### Core Development Team
| Agent | Role | Specialty |
| ----------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------- |
| `analyst` | Business Analyst | market analysis, brainstorming, project brief |
| `pm` | Product Manager | Product strategy, roadmaps, PRDs |
| `architect` | Solution Architect | System design, technical architecture |
| `dev` | Developer | Code implementation across all technologies |
| `qa` | QA Specialist | Testing strategies, quality assurance |
| `ux-expert` | UX Designer | User experience, UI design, prototypes |
| `po` | Product Owner | Backlog management, story validation |
| `sm` | Scrum Master | Sprint planning, story creation |
### Meta Agents
| Agent | Role | Specialty |
| ------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `bmad-orchestrator` | Team Coordinator | Multi-agent workflows, role switching, is part of every team bundle |
| `bmad-master` | Universal Expert | All capabilities without switching |
## Usage
### With IDE Integration
After installation with `--ide` flag:
```bash
# In Cursor
@pm Create a PRD for a task management app
# In Claude Code
/architect Design a microservices architecture
# In Windsurf
@dev Implement story 1.3
```
### With Web UI (ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini)
After uploading a bundle you can ask /help of the agent to learn what it can do
### CLI Commands
```bash
# List all available agents
npx bmad-method list
# Install or update (automatically detects existing installations)
npx bmad-method install
# Check installation status
npx bmad-method status
```
### Upgrading from V3 to V4
If you have an existing BMAD-METHOD V3 project, simply run the installer in your project directory:
```bash
npx bmad-method install
# The installer will automatically detect your V3 installation and offer to upgrade
```
The upgrade process will:
1. Create a backup of your V3 files in `.bmad-v3-backup/`
2. Install the new V4 `.bmad-core/` structure
3. Migrate your documents (PRD, Architecture, Stories, Epics)
4. Set up IDE integration for all V4 agents
5. Create an install manifest for future updates
After upgrading:
1. Review your documents in the `docs/` folder
2. Use `@bmad-master` agent to run the `doc-migration-task` to align your documents with V4 templates
3. If you have separate front-end and backend architecture docs, the migration task will help merge them into a unified `full-stack-architecture.md`
**Note**: The agents in `.bmad-core/` fully replace the items in `bmad-agent/`.
## Teams & Workflows
### Pre-Configured Teams
Save context by using specialized teams:
- **Team All**: Complete Agile team with all 10 agents
- **Team Fullstack**: Frontend + Backend development focus
- **Team No-UI**: Backend/API development without UX
### Workflows
Structured approaches for different scenarios:
- **Greenfield**: Starting new projects (fullstack/service/UI)

# BMad Hacker Daily Digest API Reference
This document describes the external APIs consumed by the BMad Hacker Daily Digest application.
## External APIs Consumed
### Algolia Hacker News (HN) Search API
- **Purpose:** Used to fetch the top Hacker News stories and the comments associated with each story.
- **Base URL:** `http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1`
- **Authentication:** None required for public search endpoints.
- **Key Endpoints Used:**
- **`GET /search` (for Top Stories)**
- Description: Retrieves stories based on search parameters. Used here to get top stories from the front page.
- Request Parameters:
- `tags=front_page`: Required to filter for front-page stories.
- `hitsPerPage=10`: Specifies the number of stories to retrieve (adjust as needed, default is typically 20).
- Example Request (Conceptual using native `Workspace`):
```typescript
// Using Node.js native Workspace API
const url =
"[http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=front_page&hitsPerPage=10](http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=front_page&hitsPerPage=10)";
const response = await fetch(url);
const data = await response.json();
```
- Success Response Schema (Code: `200 OK`): See "Algolia HN API - Story Response Subset" in `docs/data-models.md`. Primarily interested in the `hits` array containing story objects.
- Error Response Schema(s): Standard HTTP errors (e.g., 4xx, 5xx). May return JSON with an error message.
- **`GET /search` (for Comments)**
- Description: Retrieves comments associated with a specific story ID.
- Request Parameters:
- `tags=comment,story_{storyId}`: Required to filter for comments belonging to the specified `storyId`. Replace `{storyId}` with the actual ID (e.g., `story_12345`).
- `hitsPerPage={maxComments}`: Specifies the maximum number of comments to retrieve (value from `.env` `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`).
- Example Request (Conceptual using native `Workspace`):
```typescript
// Using Node.js native Workspace API
const storyId = "..."; // HN Story ID
const maxComments = 50; // From config
const url = `http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=comment,story_${storyId}&hitsPerPage=${maxComments}`;
const response = await fetch(url);
const data = await response.json();
```
- Success Response Schema (Code: `200 OK`): See "Algolia HN API - Comment Response Subset" in `docs/data-models.md`. Primarily interested in the `hits` array containing comment objects.
- Error Response Schema(s): Standard HTTP errors.
- **Rate Limits:** Subject to Algolia's public API rate limits (typically generous for HN search but not explicitly defined/guaranteed). Implementations should handle potential 429 errors gracefully if encountered.
- **Link to Official Docs:** [https://hn.algolia.com/api](https://hn.algolia.com/api)
### Ollama API (Local Instance)
- **Purpose:** Used to generate text summaries for scraped article content and HN comment discussions using a locally running LLM.
- **Base URL:** Configurable via the `OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL` environment variable (e.g., `http://localhost:11434`).
- **Authentication:** None typically required for default local installations.
- **Key Endpoints Used:**
- **`POST /api/generate`**
- Description: Generates text based on a model and prompt. Used here for summarization.
- Request Body Schema: See `OllamaGenerateRequest` in `docs/data-models.md`. Requires `model` (from `.env` `OLLAMA_MODEL`), `prompt`, and `stream: false`.
- Example Request (Conceptual using native `Workspace`):
```typescript
// Using Node.js native Workspace API
const ollamaUrl =
process.env.OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL || "http://localhost:11434";
const requestBody: OllamaGenerateRequest = {
model: process.env.OLLAMA_MODEL || "llama3",
prompt: "Summarize this text: ...",
stream: false,
};
const response = await fetch(`${ollamaUrl}/api/generate`, {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify(requestBody),
});
const data: OllamaGenerateResponse | { error: string } =
await response.json();
```
- Success Response Schema (Code: `200 OK`): See `OllamaGenerateResponse` in `docs/data-models.md`. Key field is `response` containing the generated text.
- Error Response Schema(s): May return non-200 status codes or a `200 OK` with a JSON body like `{ "error": "error message..." }` (e.g., if the model is unavailable).
- **Rate Limits:** N/A for a typical local instance. Performance depends on local hardware.
- **Link to Official Docs:** [https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/api.md](https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/api.md)
## Internal APIs Provided
- **N/A:** The application is a self-contained CLI tool and does not expose any APIs for other services to consume.
## Cloud Service SDK Usage
- **N/A:** The application runs locally and uses the native Node.js `Workspace` API for HTTP requests, not cloud provider SDKs.

# BMad Hacker Daily Digest Architecture Document
## Technical Summary
The BMad Hacker Daily Digest is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to provide users with concise summaries of top Hacker News (HN) stories and their associated comment discussions . Built with TypeScript and Node.js (v22) , it operates entirely on the user's local machine . The core functionality involves a sequential pipeline: fetching story and comment data from the Algolia HN Search API , attempting to scrape linked article content , generating summaries using a local Ollama LLM instance , persisting intermediate data to the local filesystem , and finally assembling and emailing an HTML digest using Nodemailer . The architecture emphasizes modularity and testability, including mandatory standalone scripts for testing each pipeline stage . The project starts from the `bmad-boilerplate` template .
## High-Level Overview
The application follows a simple, sequential pipeline architecture executed via a manual CLI command (`npm run dev` or `npm start`) . There is no persistent database; the local filesystem is used to store intermediate data artifacts (fetched data, scraped text, summaries) between steps within a date-stamped directory . All external HTTP communication (Algolia API, article scraping, Ollama API) utilizes the native Node.js `Workspace` API .

## Component View
The application code (`src/`) is organized into logical modules based on the defined project structure (`docs/project-structure.md`). Key components include:

## Key Architectural Decisions & Patterns
- **Architecture Style:** Simple Sequential Pipeline executed via CLI.
- **Execution Environment:** Local machine only; no cloud deployment, no database for MVP.
- **Data Handling:** Intermediate data persisted to local filesystem in a date-stamped directory.
- **HTTP Client:** Mandatory use of native Node.js v22 `Workspace` API for all external HTTP requests.
- **Modularity:** Code organized into distinct modules for clients, scraping, email, core logic, utilities, and types to promote separation of concerns and testability.
- **Stage Testing:** Mandatory standalone scripts (`src/stages/*`) allow independent testing of each pipeline phase.
- **Configuration:** Environment variables loaded natively from `.env` file; no `dotenv` package required.
- **Error Handling:** Graceful handling of scraping failures (log and continue); basic logging for other API/network errors.
- **Logging:** Basic console logging via a simple wrapper (`src/utils/logger.ts`) for MVP; structured file logging is a post-MVP consideration.
- **Key Libraries:** `@extractus/article-extractor`, `date-fns`, `nodemailer`, `yargs`. (See `docs/tech-stack.md`)

# BMad Hacker Daily Digest Architecture Document
## Technical Summary
The BMad Hacker Daily Digest is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to provide users with concise summaries of top Hacker News (HN) stories and their associated comment discussions . Built with TypeScript and Node.js (v22) , it operates entirely on the user's local machine . The core functionality involves a sequential pipeline: fetching story and comment data from the Algolia HN Search API , attempting to scrape linked article content , generating summaries using a local Ollama LLM instance , persisting intermediate data to the local filesystem , and finally assembling and emailing an HTML digest using Nodemailer . The architecture emphasizes modularity and testability, including mandatory standalone scripts for testing each pipeline stage . The project starts from the `bmad-boilerplate` template .
## High-Level Overview
The application follows a simple, sequential pipeline architecture executed via a manual CLI command (`npm run dev` or `npm start`) . There is no persistent database; the local filesystem is used to store intermediate data artifacts (fetched data, scraped text, summaries) between steps within a date-stamped directory . All external HTTP communication (Algolia API, article scraping, Ollama API) utilizes the native Node.js `Workspace` API .

# BMad Hacker Daily Digest Architecture Document
## Technical Summary
This document outlines the technical architecture for the BMad Hacker Daily Digest, a command-line tool built with TypeScript and Node.js v22. It adheres to the structure provided by the "bmad-boilerplate". The system fetches the top 10 Hacker News stories and their comments daily via the Algolia HN API, attempts to scrape linked articles, generates summaries for both articles (if scraped) and discussions using a local Ollama instance, persists intermediate data locally, and sends an HTML digest email via Nodemailer upon manual CLI execution. The architecture emphasizes modularity through distinct clients and processing stages, facilitating independent stage testing as required by the PRD. Execution is strictly local for the MVP.
## High-Level Overview
The application follows a sequential pipeline architecture triggered by a single CLI command (`npm run dev` or `npm start`). Data flows through distinct stages: HN Data Acquisition, Article Scraping, LLM Summarization, and Digest Assembly/Email Dispatch. Each stage persists its output to a date-stamped local directory, allowing subsequent stages to operate on this data and enabling stage-specific testing utilities.
**(Diagram Suggestion for Canvas: Create a flowchart showing the stages below)**
```mermaid
graph TD
A[CLI Trigger (npm run dev/start)] --> B(Initialize: Load Config, Setup Logger, Create Output Dir);
B --> C{Fetch HN Data (Top 10 Stories + Comments)};
C -- Story/Comment Data --> D(Persist HN Data: ./output/YYYY-MM-DD/{storyId}_data.json);
D --> E{Attempt Article Scraping (per story)};
E -- Scraped Text (if successful) --> F(Persist Article Text: ./output/YYYY-MM-DD/{storyId}_article.txt);
F --> G{Generate Summaries (Article + Discussion via Ollama)};
G -- Summaries --> H(Persist Summaries: ./output/YYYY-MM-DD/{storyId}_summary.json);
H --> I{Assemble Digest (Read persisted data)};
I -- HTML Content --> J{Send Email via Nodemailer};
J --> K(Log Final Status & Exit);

E --> |Skip/Fail| G; // If no URL or scrape fails
G --> |Summarization Fail| H; // Persist null summaries
I --> |Assembly Fail| K; // Skip email if assembly fails
```
## Component View
The application logic resides primarily within the `src/` directory, organized into modules responsible for specific pipeline stages or cross-cutting concerns.

_Module Descriptions:_
- **`src/index.ts`**: The main entry point, orchestrating the entire pipeline flow from initialization to final email dispatch. Imports and calls functions from other modules.
- **`src/config.ts`**: Responsible for loading and validating environment variables from the `.env` file using the `dotenv` library.
- **`src/logger.ts`**: Provides a simple console logging utility used throughout the application.
- **`src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts`**: Encapsulates interaction with the Algolia Hacker News Search API using the native `Workspace` API for fetching stories and comments.
- **`src/clients/ollamaClient.ts`**: Encapsulates interaction with the local Ollama API endpoint using the native `Workspace` API for generating summaries.
- **`src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`**: Handles fetching article HTML using native `Workspace` and extracting text content using `@extractus/article-extractor`. Includes robust error handling for fetch and extraction failures.
- **`src/email/contentAssembler.ts`**: Reads persisted story data and summaries from the local output directory.
- **`src/email/templater.ts` (or integrated)**: Renders the HTML email content using the assembled data.
- **`src/email/emailSender.ts`**: Configures and uses Nodemailer to send the generated HTML email.
- **`src/stages/*.ts`**: Individual scripts designed to run specific pipeline stages independently for testing, using persisted data from previous stages as input where applicable.
## Key Architectural Decisions & Patterns
- **Pipeline Architecture:** A sequential flow where each stage processes data and passes artifacts to the next via the local filesystem. Chosen for simplicity and to easily support independent stage testing.
- **Local Execution & File Persistence:** All execution is local, and intermediate artifacts (`_data.json`, `_article.txt`, `_summary.json`) are stored in a date-stamped `./output` directory. This avoids database setup for MVP and facilitates debugging/stage testing.
- **Native `Workspace` API:** Mandated by constraints for all HTTP requests (Algolia, Ollama, Article Scraping). Ensures usage of the latest Node.js features.
- **Modular Clients:** External interactions (Algolia, Ollama) are encapsulated in dedicated client modules (`src/clients/`). This promotes separation of concerns and makes swapping implementations (e.g., different LLM API) easier.
- **Configuration via `.env`:** Standard approach using `dotenv` for managing API keys, endpoints, and behavioral parameters (as per boilerplate).
- **Stage Testing Utilities:** Dedicated scripts (`src/stages/*.ts`) allow isolated testing of fetching, scraping, summarization, and emailing, fulfilling a key PRD requirement.
- **Graceful Error Handling (Scraping):** Article scraping failures are logged but do not halt the main pipeline, allowing the process to continue with discussion summaries only, as required. Other errors (API, LLM) are logged.

# BMad Hacker Daily Digest Coding Standards and Patterns
This document outlines the coding standards, design patterns, and best practices to be followed during the development of the BMad Hacker Daily Digest project. Adherence to these standards is crucial for maintainability, readability, and collaboration.
## Architectural / Design Patterns Adopted
- **Sequential Pipeline:** The core application follows a linear sequence of steps (fetch, scrape, summarize, email) orchestrated within `src/core/pipeline.ts`.
- **Modular Design:** The application is broken down into distinct modules based on responsibility (e.g., `clients/`, `scraper/`, `email/`, `utils/`) to promote separation of concerns, testability, and maintainability. See `docs/project-structure.md`.
- **Client Abstraction:** External service interactions (Algolia, Ollama) are encapsulated within dedicated client modules in `src/clients/`.
- **Filesystem Persistence:** Intermediate data is persisted to the local filesystem instead of a database, acting as a handoff between pipeline stages.
## Coding Standards
- **Primary Language:** TypeScript (v5.x, as configured in boilerplate)
- **Primary Runtime:** Node.js (v22.x, as required by PRD )
- **Style Guide & Linter:** ESLint and Prettier. Configuration is provided by the `bmad-boilerplate`.
- **Mandatory:** Run `npm run lint` and `npm run format` regularly and before committing code. Code must be free of lint errors.
- **Naming Conventions:**
- Variables & Functions: `camelCase`
- Classes, Types, Interfaces: `PascalCase`
- Constants: `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE`
- Files: `kebab-case.ts` (e.g., `article-scraper.ts`) or `camelCase.ts` (e.g., `ollamaClient.ts`). Be consistent within module types (e.g., all clients follow one pattern, all utils another). Let's default to `camelCase.ts` for consistency with class/module names where applicable (e.g. `ollamaClient.ts`) and `kebab-case.ts` for more descriptive utils or stage runners (e.g. `Workspace-hn-data.ts`).
- Test Files: `*.test.ts` (e.g., `ollamaClient.test.ts`)
- **File Structure:** Adhere strictly to the layout defined in `docs/project-structure.md`.
- **Asynchronous Operations:** **Mandatory:** Use `async`/`await` for all asynchronous operations (e.g., native `Workspace` HTTP calls , `fs/promises` file operations, Ollama client calls, Nodemailer `sendMail`). Avoid using raw Promises `.then()`/`.catch()` syntax where `async/await` provides better readability.
- **Type Safety:** Leverage TypeScript's static typing. Use interfaces and types defined in `src/types/` where appropriate. Assume `strict` mode is enabled in `tsconfig.json` (from boilerplate). Avoid using `any` unless absolutely necessary and justified.
- **Comments & Documentation:**
- Use JSDoc comments for exported functions, classes, and complex logic.
- Keep comments concise and focused on the _why_, not the _what_, unless the code is particularly complex.
- Update READMEs as needed for setup or usage changes.
- **Dependency Management:**
- Use `npm` for package management.
- Keep production dependencies minimal, as required by the PRD . Justify any additions.
- Use `devDependencies` for testing, linting, and build tools.
## Error Handling Strategy
- **General Approach:** Use standard JavaScript `try...catch` blocks for operations that can fail (I/O, network requests, parsing, etc.). Throw specific `Error` objects with descriptive messages. Avoid catching errors without logging or re-throwing unless intentionally handling a specific case.
- **Logging:**
- **Mandatory:** Use the central logger utility (`src/utils/logger.ts`) for all console output (INFO, WARN, ERROR). Do not use `console.log` directly in application logic.
- **Format:** Basic text format for MVP. Structured JSON logging to files is a post-MVP enhancement.
- **Levels:** Use appropriate levels (`logger.info`, `logger.warn`, `logger.error`).
- **Context:** Include relevant context in log messages (e.g., Story ID, function name, URL being processed) to aid debugging.
- **Specific Handling Patterns:**
- **External API Calls (Algolia, Ollama via `Workspace`):**
- Wrap `Workspace` calls in `try...catch`.
- Check `response.ok` status; if false, log the status code and potentially response body text, then treat as an error (e.g., return `null` or throw).
- Log network errors caught by the `catch` block.
- No automated retries required for MVP.
- **Article Scraping (`articleScraper.ts`):**
- Wrap `Workspace` and text extraction (`article-extractor`) logic in `try...catch`.
- Handle non-2xx responses, timeouts, non-HTML content types, and extraction errors.
- **Crucial:** If scraping fails for any reason, log the error/reason using `logger.warn` or `logger.error`, return `null`, and **allow the main pipeline to continue processing the story** (using only comment summary). Do not throw an error that halts the entire application.
- **File I/O (`fs` module):**
- Wrap `fs` operations (especially writes) in `try...catch`. Log any file system errors using `logger.error`.
- **Email Sending (`Nodemailer`):**
- Wrap `transporter.sendMail()` in `try...catch`. Log success (including message ID) or failure clearly using the logger.
- **Configuration Loading (`config.ts`):**
- Check for the presence of all required environment variables at startup. Throw a fatal error and exit if required variables are missing.
- **LLM Interaction (Ollama Client):**
- **LLM Prompts:** Use the standardized prompts defined in `docs/prompts.md` when interacting with the Ollama client for consistency.
- Wrap `generateSummary` calls in `try...catch`. Log errors from the client (which handles API/network issues).
- **Comment Truncation:** Before sending comments for discussion summary, check for the `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` env var. If set to a positive number, truncate the combined comment text block to this length. Log a warning if truncation occurs. If not set, send the full text.
## Security Best Practices
- **Input Sanitization/Validation:** While primarily a local tool, validate critical inputs like external URLs (`story.articleUrl`) before attempting to fetch them. Basic checks (e.g., starts with `http://` or `https://`) are sufficient for MVP .
- **Secrets Management:**
- **Mandatory:** Store sensitive data (`EMAIL_USER`, `EMAIL_PASS`) only in the `.env` file.
- **Mandatory:** Ensure the `.env` file is included in `.gitignore` and is never committed to version control.
- Do not hardcode secrets anywhere in the source code.
- **Dependency Security:** Periodically run `npm audit` to check for known vulnerabilities in dependencies. Consider enabling Dependabot if using GitHub.
- **HTTP Client:** Use the native `Workspace` API as required ; avoid introducing less secure or overly complex HTTP client libraries.
- **Scraping User-Agent:** Set a default User-Agent header in the scraper code (e.g., "BMadHackerDigest/0.1"). Allow overriding this default via the optional SCRAPER_USER_AGENT environment variable.

# BMad Hacker Daily Digest Coding Standards and Patterns
This document outlines the coding standards, design patterns, and best practices to be followed during the development of the BMad Hacker Daily Digest project. Adherence to these standards is crucial for maintainability, readability, and collaboration.
## Architectural / Design Patterns Adopted
- **Sequential Pipeline:** The core application follows a linear sequence of steps (fetch, scrape, summarize, email) orchestrated within `src/core/pipeline.ts`.
- **Modular Design:** The application is broken down into distinct modules based on responsibility (e.g., `clients/`, `scraper/`, `email/`, `utils/`) to promote separation of concerns, testability, and maintainability. See `docs/project-structure.md`.
- **Client Abstraction:** External service interactions (Algolia, Ollama) are encapsulated within dedicated client modules in `src/clients/`.

# Epic 1 file
# Epic 1: Project Initialization & Core Setup
**Goal:** Initialize the project using the "bmad-boilerplate", manage dependencies, setup `.env` and config loading, establish basic CLI entry point, setup basic logging and output directory structure. This provides the foundational setup for all subsequent development work.
## Story List
### Story 1.1: Initialize Project from Boilerplate
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to set up the initial project structure using the `bmad-boilerplate`, so that I have the standard tooling (TS, Jest, ESLint, Prettier), configurations, and scripts in place.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Copy or clone the contents of the `bmad-boilerplate` into the new project's root directory.
- Initialize a git repository in the project root directory (if not already done by cloning).
- Ensure the `.gitignore` file from the boilerplate is present.
- Run `npm install` to download and install all `devDependencies` specified in the boilerplate's `package.json`.
- Verify that the core boilerplate scripts (`lint`, `format`, `test`, `build`) execute without errors on the initial codebase.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The project directory contains the files and structure from `bmad-boilerplate`.
- AC2: A `node_modules` directory exists and contains packages corresponding to `devDependencies`.
- AC3: `npm run lint` command completes successfully without reporting any linting errors.
- AC4: `npm run format` command completes successfully, potentially making formatting changes according to Prettier rules. Running it a second time should result in no changes.
- AC5: `npm run test` command executes Jest successfully (it may report "no tests found" which is acceptable at this stage).
- AC6: `npm run build` command executes successfully, creating a `dist` directory containing compiled JavaScript output.
- AC7: The `.gitignore` file exists and includes entries for `node_modules/`, `.env`, `dist/`, etc. as specified in the boilerplate.
---
### Story 1.2: Setup Environment Configuration
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to establish the environment configuration mechanism using `.env` files, so that secrets and settings (like output paths) can be managed outside of version control, following boilerplate conventions.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Add a production dependency for loading `.env` files (e.g., `dotenv`). Run `npm install dotenv --save-prod` (or similar library).
- Verify the `.env.example` file exists (from boilerplate).
- Add an initial configuration variable `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH=./output` to `.env.example`.
- Create the `.env` file locally by copying `.env.example`. Populate `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` if needed (can keep default).
- Implement a utility module (e.g., `src/config.ts`) that loads environment variables from the `.env` file at application startup.
- The utility should export the loaded configuration values (initially just `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH`).
- Ensure the `.env` file is listed in `.gitignore` and is not committed.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The chosen `.env` library (e.g., `dotenv`) is listed under `dependencies` in `package.json` and `package-lock.json` is updated.
- AC2: The `.env.example` file exists, is tracked by git, and contains the line `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH=./output`.
- AC3: The `.env` file exists locally but is NOT tracked by git.
- AC4: A configuration module (`src/config.ts` or similar) exists and successfully loads the `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` value from `.env` when the application starts.
- AC5: The loaded `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` value is accessible within the application code.
---
### Story 1.3: Implement Basic CLI Entry Point & Execution
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a basic `src/index.ts` entry point that can be executed via the boilerplate's `dev` and `start` scripts, providing a working foundation for the application logic.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create the main application entry point file at `src/index.ts`.
- Implement minimal code within `src/index.ts` to:
- Import the configuration loading mechanism (from Story 1.2).
- Log a simple startup message to the console (e.g., "BMad Hacker Daily Digest - Starting Up...").
- (Optional) Log the loaded `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` to verify config loading.
- Confirm execution using boilerplate scripts.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `src/index.ts` file exists.
- AC2: Running `npm run dev` executes `src/index.ts` via `ts-node` and logs the startup message to the console.
- AC3: Running `npm run build` successfully compiles `src/index.ts` (and any imports) into the `dist` directory.
- AC4: Running `npm start` (after a successful build) executes the compiled code from `dist` and logs the startup message to the console.
---
### Story 1.4: Setup Basic Logging and Output Directory
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a basic console logging mechanism and the dynamic creation of a date-stamped output directory, so that the application can provide execution feedback and prepare for storing data artifacts in subsequent epics.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Implement a simple, reusable logging utility module (e.g., `src/logger.ts`). Initially, it can wrap `console.log`, `console.warn`, `console.error`.
- Refactor `src/index.ts` to use this `logger` for its startup message(s).
- In `src/index.ts` (or a setup function called by it):
- Retrieve the `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` from the configuration (loaded in Story 1.2).
- Determine the current date in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format.
- Construct the full path for the date-stamped subdirectory (e.g., `${OUTPUT_DIR_PATH}/YYYY-MM-DD`).
- Check if the base output directory exists; if not, create it.
- Check if the date-stamped subdirectory exists; if not, create it recursively. Use Node.js `fs` module (e.g., `fs.mkdirSync(path, { recursive: true })`).
- Log (using the logger) the full path of the output directory being used for the current run (e.g., "Output directory for this run: ./output/2025-05-04").
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: A logger utility module (`src/logger.ts` or similar) exists and is used for console output in `src/index.ts`.
- AC2: Running `npm run dev` or `npm start` logs the startup message via the logger.
- AC3: Running the application creates the base output directory (e.g., `./output` defined in `.env`) if it doesn't already exist.
- AC4: Running the application creates a date-stamped subdirectory (e.g., `./output/2025-05-04`) within the base output directory if it doesn't already exist.
- AC5: The application logs a message indicating the full path to the date-stamped output directory created/used for the current execution.
- AC6: The application exits gracefully after performing these setup steps (for now).

# Epic 2 File
# Epic 2: HN Data Acquisition & Persistence
**Goal:** Implement fetching top 10 stories and their comments (respecting limits) from Algolia HN API, and persist this raw data locally into the date-stamped output directory created in Epic 1. Implement a stage testing utility for fetching.
## Story List
### Story 2.1: Implement Algolia HN API Client
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a dedicated client module to interact with the Algolia Hacker News Search API, so that fetching stories and comments is encapsulated, reusable, and uses the required native `Workspace` API.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new module: `src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts`.
- Implement an async function `WorkspaceTopStories` within the client:
- Use native `Workspace` to call the Algolia HN Search API endpoint for front-page stories (e.g., `http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=front_page&hitsPerPage=10`). Adjust `hitsPerPage` if needed to ensure 10 stories.
- Parse the JSON response.
- Extract required metadata for each story: `objectID` (use as `storyId`), `title`, `url` (article URL), `points`, `num_comments`. Handle potential missing `url` field gracefully (log warning, maybe skip story later if URL needed).
- Construct the `hnUrl` for each story (e.g., `https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id={storyId}`).
- Return an array of structured story objects.
- Implement a separate async function `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` within the client:
- Accept `storyId` and `maxComments` limit as arguments.
- Use native `Workspace` to call the Algolia HN Search API endpoint for comments of a specific story (e.g., `http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=comment,story_{storyId}&hitsPerPage={maxComments}`).
- Parse the JSON response.
- Extract required comment data: `objectID` (use as `commentId`), `comment_text`, `author`, `created_at`.
- Filter out comments where `comment_text` is null or empty. Ensure only up to `maxComments` are returned.
- Return an array of structured comment objects.
- Implement basic error handling using `try...catch` around `Workspace` calls and check `response.ok` status. Log errors using the logger utility from Epic 1.
- Define TypeScript interfaces/types for the expected structures of API responses (stories, comments) and the data returned by the client functions (e.g., `Story`, `Comment`).
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The module `src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts` exists and exports `WorkspaceTopStories` and `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` functions.
- AC2: Calling `WorkspaceTopStories` makes a network request to the correct Algolia endpoint and returns a promise resolving to an array of 10 `Story` objects containing the specified metadata.
- AC3: Calling `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` with a valid `storyId` and `maxComments` limit makes a network request to the correct Algolia endpoint and returns a promise resolving to an array of `Comment` objects (up to `maxComments`), filtering out empty ones.
- AC4: Both functions use the native `Workspace` API internally.
- AC5: Network errors or non-successful API responses (e.g., status 4xx, 5xx) are caught and logged using the logger.
- AC6: Relevant TypeScript types (`Story`, `Comment`, etc.) are defined and used within the client module.
---
### Story 2.2: Integrate HN Data Fetching into Main Workflow
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to integrate the HN data fetching logic into the main application workflow (`src/index.ts`), so that running the app retrieves the top 10 stories and their comments after completing the setup from Epic 1.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts` (or a main async function called by it).
- Import the `algoliaHNClient` functions.
- Import the configuration module to access `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- After the Epic 1 setup (config load, logger init, output dir creation), call `WorkspaceTopStories()`.
- Log the number of stories fetched.
- Iterate through the array of fetched `Story` objects.
- For each `Story`, call `WorkspaceCommentsForStory()`, passing the `story.storyId` and the configured `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- Store the fetched comments within the corresponding `Story` object in memory (e.g., add a `comments: Comment[]` property to the `Story` object).
- Log progress using the logger utility (e.g., "Fetched 10 stories.", "Fetching up to X comments for story {storyId}...").
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes Epic 1 setup steps followed by fetching stories and then comments for each story.
- AC2: Logs clearly show the start and successful completion of fetching stories, and the start of fetching comments for each of the 10 stories.
- AC3: The configured `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` value is read from config and used in the calls to `WorkspaceCommentsForStory`.
- AC4: After successful execution, story objects held in memory contain a nested array of fetched comment objects. (Can be verified via debugger or temporary logging).
---
### Story 2.3: Persist Fetched HN Data Locally
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to save the fetched HN stories (including their comments) to JSON files in the date-stamped output directory, so that the raw data is persisted locally for subsequent pipeline stages and debugging.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Define a consistent JSON structure for the output file content. Example: `{ storyId: "...", title: "...", url: "...", hnUrl: "...", points: ..., fetchedAt: "ISO_TIMESTAMP", comments: [{ commentId: "...", text: "...", author: "...", createdAt: "ISO_TIMESTAMP", ... }, ...] }`. Include a timestamp for when the data was fetched.
- Import Node.js `fs` (specifically `fs.writeFileSync`) and `path` modules.
- In the main workflow (`src/index.ts`), within the loop iterating through stories (after comments have been fetched and added to the story object in Story 2.2):
- Get the full path to the date-stamped output directory (determined in Epic 1).
- Construct the filename for the story's data: `{storyId}_data.json`.
- Construct the full file path using `path.join()`.
- Serialize the complete story object (including comments and fetch timestamp) to a JSON string using `JSON.stringify(storyObject, null, 2)` for readability.
- Write the JSON string to the file using `fs.writeFileSync()`. Use a `try...catch` block for error handling.
- Log (using the logger) the successful persistence of each story's data file or any errors encountered during file writing.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: After running `npm run dev`, the date-stamped output directory (e.g., `./output/YYYY-MM-DD/`) contains exactly 10 files named `{storyId}_data.json`.
- AC2: Each JSON file contains valid JSON representing a single story object, including its metadata, fetch timestamp, and an array of its fetched comments, matching the defined structure.
- AC3: The number of comments in each file's `comments` array does not exceed `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- AC4: Logs indicate that saving data to a file was attempted for each story, reporting success or specific file writing errors.
---
### Story 2.4: Implement Stage Testing Utility for HN Fetching
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate, executable script that *only* performs the HN data fetching and persistence, so I can test and trigger this stage independently of the full pipeline.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts`.
- This script should perform the essential setup required for this stage: initialize logger, load configuration (`.env`), determine and create output directory (reuse or replicate logic from Epic 1 / `src/index.ts`).
- The script should then execute the core logic of fetching stories via `algoliaHNClient.fetchTopStories`, fetching comments via `algoliaHNClient.fetchCommentsForStory` (using loaded config for limit), and persisting the results to JSON files using `fs.writeFileSync` (replicating logic from Story 2.3).
- The script should log its progress using the logger utility.
- Add a new script command to `package.json` under `"scripts"`: `"stage:fetch": "ts-node src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts"`.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The file `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts` exists.
- AC2: The script `stage:fetch` is defined in `package.json`'s `scripts` section.
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:fetch` executes successfully, performing only the setup, fetch, and persist steps.
- AC4: Running `npm run stage:fetch` creates the same 10 `{storyId}_data.json` files in the correct date-stamped output directory as running the main `npm run dev` command (at the current state of development).
- AC5: Logs generated by `npm run stage:fetch` reflect only the fetching and persisting steps, not subsequent pipeline stages.

# Epic 3 File
# Epic 3: Article Scraping & Persistence
**Goal:** Implement a best-effort article scraping mechanism to fetch and extract plain text content from the external URLs associated with fetched HN stories. Handle failures gracefully and persist successfully scraped text locally. Implement a stage testing utility for scraping.
## Story List
### Story 3.1: Implement Basic Article Scraper Module
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a module that attempts to fetch HTML from a URL and extract the main article text using basic methods, handling common failures gracefully, so article content can be prepared for summarization.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new module: `src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`.
- Add a suitable HTML parsing/extraction library dependency (e.g., `@extractus/article-extractor` recommended for simplicity, or `cheerio` for more control). Run `npm install @extractus/article-extractor --save-prod` (or chosen alternative).
- Implement an async function `scrapeArticle(url: string): Promise<string | null>` within the module.
- Inside the function:
- Use native `Workspace` to retrieve content from the `url`. Set a reasonable timeout (e.g., 10-15 seconds). Include a `User-Agent` header to mimic a browser.
- Handle potential `Workspace` errors (network errors, timeouts) using `try...catch`.
- Check the `response.ok` status. If not okay, log error and return `null`.
- Check the `Content-Type` header of the response. If it doesn't indicate HTML (e.g., does not include `text/html`), log warning and return `null`.
- If HTML is received, attempt to extract the main article text using the chosen library (`article-extractor` preferred).
- Wrap the extraction logic in a `try...catch` to handle library-specific errors.
- Return the extracted plain text string if successful. Ensure it's just text, not HTML markup.
- Return `null` if extraction fails or results in empty content.
- Log all significant events, errors, or reasons for returning null (e.g., "Scraping URL...", "Fetch failed:", "Non-HTML content type:", "Extraction failed:", "Successfully extracted text") using the logger utility.
- Define TypeScript types/interfaces as needed.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `articleScraper.ts` module exists and exports the `scrapeArticle` function.
- AC2: The chosen scraping library (e.g., `@extractus/article-extractor`) is added to `dependencies` in `package.json`.
- AC3: `scrapeArticle` uses native `Workspace` with a timeout and User-Agent header.
- AC4: `scrapeArticle` correctly handles fetch errors, non-OK responses, and non-HTML content types by logging and returning `null`.
- AC5: `scrapeArticle` uses the chosen library to attempt text extraction from valid HTML content.
- AC6: `scrapeArticle` returns the extracted plain text on success, and `null` on any failure (fetch, non-HTML, extraction error, empty result).
- AC7: Relevant logs are produced for success, failure modes, and errors encountered during the process.

### Story 3.2: Integrate Article Scraping into Main Workflow
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to integrate the article scraper into the main workflow (`src/index.ts`), attempting to scrape the article for each HN story that has a valid URL, after fetching its data.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts`.
- Import the `scrapeArticle` function from `src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`.
- Within the main loop iterating through the fetched stories (after comments are fetched in Epic 2):
- Check if `story.url` exists and appears to be a valid HTTP/HTTPS URL. A simple check for starting with `http://` or `https://` is sufficient.
- If the URL is missing or invalid, log a warning ("Skipping scraping for story {storyId}: Missing or invalid URL") and proceed to the next story's processing step.
- If a valid URL exists, log ("Attempting to scrape article for story {storyId} from {story.url}").
- Call `await scrapeArticle(story.url)`.
- Store the result (the extracted text string or `null`) in memory, associated with the story object (e.g., add property `articleContent: string | null`).
- Log the outcome clearly (e.g., "Successfully scraped article for story {storyId}", "Failed to scrape article for story {storyId}").
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes Epic 1 & 2 steps, and then attempts article scraping for stories with valid URLs.
- AC2: Stories with missing or invalid URLs are skipped, and a corresponding log message is generated.
- AC3: For stories with valid URLs, the `scrapeArticle` function is called.
- AC4: Logs clearly indicate the start and success/failure outcome of the scraping attempt for each relevant story.
- AC5: Story objects held in memory after this stage contain an `articleContent` property holding the scraped text (string) or `null` if scraping was skipped or failed.
---
### Story 3.3: Persist Scraped Article Text Locally
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to save successfully scraped article text to a separate local file for each story, so that the text content is available as input for the summarization stage.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Import Node.js `fs` and `path` modules if not already present in `src/index.ts`.
- In the main workflow (`src/index.ts`), immediately after a successful call to `scrapeArticle` for a story (where the result is a non-null string):
- Retrieve the full path to the current date-stamped output directory.
- Construct the filename: `{storyId}_article.txt`.
- Construct the full file path using `path.join()`.
- Get the successfully scraped article text string (`articleContent`).
- Use `fs.writeFileSync(fullPath, articleContent, 'utf-8')` to save the text to the file. Wrap in `try...catch` for file system errors.
- Log the successful saving of the file (e.g., "Saved scraped article text to {filename}") or any file writing errors encountered.
- Ensure *no* `_article.txt` file is created if `scrapeArticle` returned `null` (due to skipping or failure).
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: After running `npm run dev`, the date-stamped output directory contains `_article.txt` files *only* for those stories where `scrapeArticle` succeeded and returned text content.
- AC2: The name of each article text file is `{storyId}_article.txt`.
- AC3: The content of each `_article.txt` file is the plain text string returned by `scrapeArticle`.
- AC4: Logs confirm the successful writing of each `_article.txt` file or report specific file writing errors.
- AC5: No empty `_article.txt` files are created. Files only exist if scraping was successful.
---
### Story 3.4: Implement Stage Testing Utility for Scraping
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate script/command to test the article scraping logic using HN story data from local files, allowing independent testing and debugging of the scraper.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/scrape_articles.ts`.
- Import necessary modules: `fs`, `path`, `logger`, `config`, `scrapeArticle`.
- The script should:
- Initialize the logger.
- Load configuration (to get `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH`).
- Determine the target date-stamped directory path (e.g., `${OUTPUT_DIR_PATH}/YYYY-MM-DD`, using the current date or potentially an optional CLI argument). Ensure this directory exists.
- Read the directory contents and identify all `{storyId}_data.json` files.
- For each `_data.json` file found:
- Read and parse the JSON content.
- Extract the `storyId` and `url`.
- If a valid `url` exists, call `await scrapeArticle(url)`.
- If scraping succeeds (returns text), save the text to `{storyId}_article.txt` in the same directory (using logic from Story 3.3). Overwrite if the file exists.
- Log the progress and outcome (skip/success/fail) for each story processed.
- Add a new script command to `package.json`: `"stage:scrape": "ts-node src/stages/scrape_articles.ts"`. Consider adding argument parsing later if needed to specify a date/directory.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The file `src/stages/scrape_articles.ts` exists.
- AC2: The script `stage:scrape` is defined in `package.json`.
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:scrape` (assuming a directory with `_data.json` files exists from a previous `stage:fetch` run) reads these files.
- AC4: The script calls `scrapeArticle` for stories with valid URLs found in the JSON files.
- AC5: The script creates/updates `{storyId}_article.txt` files in the target directory corresponding to successfully scraped articles.
- AC6: The script logs its actions (reading files, attempting scraping, saving results) for each story ID processed.
- AC7: The script operates solely based on local `_data.json` files and fetching from external article URLs; it does not call the Algolia HN API.

# Epic 4 File
# Epic 4: LLM Summarization & Persistence
**Goal:** Integrate with the configured local Ollama instance to generate summaries for successfully scraped article text and fetched comments. Persist these summaries locally. Implement a stage testing utility for summarization.
## Story List
### Story 4.1: Implement Ollama Client Module
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a client module to interact with the configured Ollama API endpoint via HTTP, handling requests and responses for text generation, so that summaries can be generated programmatically.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- **Prerequisite:** Ensure a local Ollama instance is installed and running, accessible via the URL defined in `.env` (`OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL`), and that the model specified in `.env` (`OLLAMA_MODEL`) has been downloaded (e.g., via `ollama pull model_name`). Instructions for this setup should be in the project README.
- Create a new module: `src/clients/ollamaClient.ts`.
- Implement an async function `generateSummary(promptTemplate: string, content: string): Promise<string | null>`. *(Note: Parameter name changed for clarity)*
- Add configuration variables `OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL` (e.g., `http://localhost:11434`) and `OLLAMA_MODEL` (e.g., `llama3`) to `.env.example`. Ensure they are loaded via the config module (`src/utils/config.ts`). Update local `.env` with actual values. Add optional `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS` to `.env.example` with a default like `120000`.
- Inside `generateSummary`:
- Construct the full prompt string using the `promptTemplate` and the provided `content` (e.g., replacing a placeholder like `{Content Placeholder}` in the template, or simple concatenation if templates are basic).
- Construct the Ollama API request payload (JSON): `{ model: configured_model, prompt: full_prompt, stream: false }`. Refer to Ollama `/api/generate` documentation and `docs/data-models.md`.
- Use native `Workspace` to send a POST request to the configured Ollama endpoint + `/api/generate`. Set appropriate headers (`Content-Type: application/json`). Use the configured `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS` or a reasonable default (e.g., 2 minutes).
- Handle `Workspace` errors (network, timeout) using `try...catch`.
- Check `response.ok`. If not OK, log the status/error and return `null`.
- Parse the JSON response from Ollama. Extract the generated text (typically in the `response` field). Refer to `docs/data-models.md`.
- Check for potential errors within the Ollama response structure itself (e.g., an `error` field).
- Return the extracted summary string on success. Return `null` on any failure.
- Log key events: initiating request (mention model), receiving response, success, failure reasons, potentially request/response time using the logger.
- Define necessary TypeScript types for the Ollama request payload and expected response structure in `src/types/ollama.ts` (referenced in `docs/data-models.md`).
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `ollamaClient.ts` module exists and exports `generateSummary`.
- AC2: `OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL` and `OLLAMA_MODEL` are defined in `.env.example`, loaded via config, and used by the client. Optional `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS` is handled.
- AC3: `generateSummary` sends a correctly formatted POST request (model, full prompt based on template and content, stream:false) to the configured Ollama endpoint/path using native `Workspace`.
- AC4: Network errors, timeouts, and non-OK API responses are handled gracefully, logged, and result in a `null` return (given the Prerequisite Ollama service is running).
- AC5: A successful Ollama response is parsed correctly, the generated text is extracted, and returned as a string.
* AC6: Unexpected Ollama response formats or internal errors (e.g., `{"error": "..."}`) are handled, logged, and result in a `null` return.
* AC7: Logs provide visibility into the client's interaction with the Ollama API.
---
### Story 4.2: Define Summarization Prompts
* **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want standardized base prompts for generating article summaries and HN discussion summaries documented centrally, ensuring consistent instructions are sent to the LLM.
* **Detailed Requirements:**
* Define two standardized base prompts (`ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT`, `DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT`) **and document them in `docs/prompts.md`**.
* Ensure these prompts are accessible within the application code, for example, by defining them as exported constants in a dedicated module like `src/utils/prompts.ts`, which reads from or mirrors the content in `docs/prompts.md`.
* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
* AC1: The `ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT` text is defined in `docs/prompts.md` with appropriate instructional content.
* AC2: The `DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT` text is defined in `docs/prompts.md` with appropriate instructional content.
* AC3: The prompt texts documented in `docs/prompts.md` are available as constants or variables within the application code (e.g., via `src/utils/prompts.ts`) for use by the Ollama client integration.
---
### Story 4.3: Integrate Summarization into Main Workflow
* **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to integrate the Ollama client into the main workflow to generate summaries for each story's scraped article text (if available) and fetched comments, using centrally defined prompts and handling potential comment length limits.
* **Detailed Requirements:**
* Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts` or `src/core/pipeline.ts`.
* Import `ollamaClient.generateSummary` and the prompt constants/variables (e.g., from `src/utils/prompts.ts`, which reflect `docs/prompts.md`).
* Load the optional `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` configuration value from `.env` via the config utility.
* Within the main loop iterating through stories (after article scraping/persistence in Epic 3):
* **Article Summary Generation:**
* Check if the `story` object has non-null `articleContent`.
* If yes: log "Attempting article summarization for story {storyId}", call `await generateSummary(ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT, story.articleContent)`, store the result (string or null) as `story.articleSummary`, log success/failure.
* If no: set `story.articleSummary = null`, log "Skipping article summarization: No content".
* **Discussion Summary Generation:**
* Check if the `story` object has a non-empty `comments` array.
* If yes:
* Format the `story.comments` array into a single text block suitable for the LLM prompt (e.g., concatenating `comment.text` with separators like `---`).
* **Check truncation limit:** If `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` is configured to a positive number and the `formattedCommentsText` length exceeds it, truncate `formattedCommentsText` to the limit and log a warning: "Comment text truncated to {limit} characters for summarization for story {storyId}".
* Log "Attempting discussion summarization for story {storyId}".
* Call `await generateSummary(DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT, formattedCommentsText)`. *(Pass the potentially truncated text)*
* Store the result (string or null) as `story.discussionSummary`. Log success/failure.
* If no: set `story.discussionSummary = null`, log "Skipping discussion summarization: No comments".
* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
* AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes steps from Epics 1-3, then attempts summarization using the Ollama client.
* AC2: Article summary is attempted only if `articleContent` exists for a story.
* AC3: Discussion summary is attempted only if `comments` exist for a story.
* AC4: `generateSummary` is called with the correct prompts (sourced consistently with `docs/prompts.md`) and corresponding content (article text or formatted/potentially truncated comments).
* AC5: If `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` is set and comment text exceeds it, the text passed to `generateSummary` is truncated, and a warning is logged.
* AC6: Logs clearly indicate the start, success, or failure (including null returns from the client) for both article and discussion summarization attempts per story.
* AC7: Story objects in memory now contain `articleSummary` (string/null) and `discussionSummary` (string/null) properties.
---
### Story 4.4: Persist Generated Summaries Locally
*(No changes needed for this story based on recent decisions)*
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to save the generated article and discussion summaries (or null placeholders) to a local JSON file for each story, making them available for the email assembly stage.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Define the structure for the summary output file: `{storyId}_summary.json`. Content example: `{ "storyId": "...", "articleSummary": "...", "discussionSummary": "...", "summarizedAt": "ISO_TIMESTAMP" }`. Note that `articleSummary` and `discussionSummary` can be `null`.
- Import `fs` and `path` in `src/index.ts` or `src/core/pipeline.ts` if needed.
- In the main workflow loop, after *both* summarization attempts (article and discussion) for a story are complete:
- Create a summary result object containing `storyId`, `articleSummary` (string or null), `discussionSummary` (string or null), and the current ISO timestamp (`new Date().toISOString()`). Add this timestamp to the in-memory `story` object as well (`story.summarizedAt`).
- Get the full path to the date-stamped output directory.
- Construct the filename: `{storyId}_summary.json`.
- Construct the full file path using `path.join()`.
- Serialize the summary result object to JSON (`JSON.stringify(..., null, 2)`).
- Use `fs.writeFileSync` to save the JSON to the file, wrapping in `try...catch`.
- Log the successful saving of the summary file or any file writing errors.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: After running `npm run dev`, the date-stamped output directory contains 10 files named `{storyId}_summary.json`.
- AC2: Each `_summary.json` file contains valid JSON adhering to the defined structure.
- AC3: The `articleSummary` field contains the generated summary string if successful, otherwise `null`.
- AC4: The `discussionSummary` field contains the generated summary string if successful, otherwise `null`.
- AC5: A valid ISO timestamp is present in the `summarizedAt` field.
- AC6: Logs confirm successful writing of each summary file or report file system errors.
---
### Story 4.5: Implement Stage Testing Utility for Summarization
*(Changes needed to reflect prompt sourcing and optional truncation)*
* **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate script/command to test the LLM summarization logic using locally persisted data (HN comments, scraped article text), allowing independent testing of prompts and Ollama interaction.
* **Detailed Requirements:**
* Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/summarize_content.ts`.
* Import necessary modules: `fs`, `path`, `logger`, `config`, `ollamaClient`, prompt constants (e.g., from `src/utils/prompts.ts`).
* The script should:
* Initialize logger, load configuration (Ollama endpoint/model, output dir, **optional `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY`**).
* Determine target date-stamped directory path.
* Find all `{storyId}_data.json` files in the directory.
* For each `storyId` found:
* Read `{storyId}_data.json` to get comments. Format them into a single text block.
* *Attempt* to read `{storyId}_article.txt`. Handle file-not-found gracefully. Store content or null.
* Call `ollamaClient.generateSummary` for article text (if not null) using `ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT`.
* **Apply truncation logic:** If comments exist, check `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` and truncate the formatted comment text block if needed, logging a warning.
* Call `ollamaClient.generateSummary` for formatted comments (if comments exist) using `DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT` *(passing potentially truncated text)*.
* Construct the summary result object (with summaries or nulls, and timestamp).
* Save the result object to `{storyId}_summary.json` in the same directory (using logic from Story 4.4), overwriting if exists.
* Log progress (reading files, calling Ollama, truncation warnings, saving results) for each story ID.
* Add script to `package.json`: `"stage:summarize": "ts-node src/stages/summarize_content.ts"`.
* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
* AC1: The file `src/stages/summarize_content.ts` exists.
* AC2: The script `stage:summarize` is defined in `package.json`.
* AC3: Running `npm run stage:summarize` (after `stage:fetch` and `stage:scrape` runs) reads `_data.json` and attempts to read `_article.txt` files from the target directory.
* AC4: The script calls the `ollamaClient` with correct prompts (sourced consistently with `docs/prompts.md`) and content derived *only* from the local files (requires Ollama service running per Story 4.1 prerequisite).
* AC5: If `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` is set and applicable, comment text is truncated before calling the client, and a warning is logged.
* AC6: The script creates/updates `{storyId}_summary.json` files in the target directory reflecting the results of the Ollama calls (summaries or nulls).
* AC7: Logs show the script processing each story ID found locally, interacting with Ollama, and saving results.
* AC8: The script does not call Algolia API or the article scraper module.

# Epic 5 File
# Epic 5: Digest Assembly & Email Dispatch
**Goal:** Assemble the collected story data and summaries from local files, format them into a readable HTML email digest, and send the email using Nodemailer with configured credentials. Implement a stage testing utility for emailing with a dry-run option.
## Story List
### Story 5.1: Implement Email Content Assembler
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a module that reads the persisted story metadata (`_data.json`) and summaries (`_summary.json`) from a specified directory, consolidating the necessary information needed to render the email digest.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new module: `src/email/contentAssembler.ts`.
- Define a TypeScript type/interface `DigestData` representing the data needed per story for the email template: `{ storyId: string, title: string, hnUrl: string, articleUrl: string | null, articleSummary: string | null, discussionSummary: string | null }`.
- Implement an async function `assembleDigestData(dateDirPath: string): Promise<DigestData[]>`.
- The function should:
- Use Node.js `fs` to read the contents of the `dateDirPath`.
- Identify all files matching the pattern `{storyId}_data.json`.
- For each `storyId` found:
- Read and parse the `{storyId}_data.json` file. Extract `title`, `hnUrl`, and `url` (use as `articleUrl`). Handle potential file read/parse errors gracefully (log and skip story).
- Attempt to read and parse the corresponding `{storyId}_summary.json` file. Handle file-not-found or parse errors gracefully (treat `articleSummary` and `discussionSummary` as `null`).
- Construct a `DigestData` object for the story, including the extracted metadata and summaries (or nulls).
- Collect all successfully constructed `DigestData` objects into an array.
- Return the array. It should ideally contain 10 items if all previous stages succeeded.
- Log progress (e.g., "Assembling digest data from directory...", "Processing story {storyId}...") and any errors encountered during file processing using the logger.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `contentAssembler.ts` module exists and exports `assembleDigestData` and the `DigestData` type.
- AC2: `assembleDigestData` correctly reads `_data.json` files from the provided directory path.
- AC3: It attempts to read corresponding `_summary.json` files, correctly handling cases where the summary file might be missing or unparseable (resulting in null summaries for that story).
- AC4: The function returns a promise resolving to an array of `DigestData` objects, populated with data extracted from the files.
- AC5: Errors during file reading or JSON parsing are logged, and the function returns data for successfully processed stories.
---
### Story 5.2: Create HTML Email Template & Renderer
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a basic HTML email template and a function to render it with the assembled digest data, producing the final HTML content for the email body.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Define the HTML structure. This can be done using template literals within a function or potentially using a simple template file (e.g., `src/email/templates/digestTemplate.html`) and `fs.readFileSync`. Template literals are simpler for MVP.
- Create a function `renderDigestHtml(data: DigestData[], digestDate: string): string` (e.g., in `src/email/contentAssembler.ts` or a new `templater.ts`).
- The function should generate an HTML string with:
- A suitable title in the body (e.g., `<h1>Hacker News Top 10 Summaries for ${digestDate}</h1>`).
- A loop through the `data` array.
- For each `story` in `data`:
- Display `<h2><a href="${story.articleUrl || story.hnUrl}">${story.title}</a></h2>`.
- Display `<p><a href="${story.hnUrl}">View HN Discussion</a></p>`.
- Conditionally display `<h3>Article Summary</h3><p>${story.articleSummary}</p>` *only if* `story.articleSummary` is not null/empty.
- Conditionally display `<h3>Discussion Summary</h3><p>${story.discussionSummary}</p>` *only if* `story.discussionSummary` is not null/empty.
- Include a separator (e.g., `<hr style="margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;">`).
- Use basic inline CSS for minimal styling (margins, etc.) to ensure readability. Avoid complex layouts.
- Return the complete HTML document as a string.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: A function `renderDigestHtml` exists that accepts the digest data array and a date string.
- AC2: The function returns a single, complete HTML string.
- AC3: The generated HTML includes a title with the date and correctly iterates through the story data.
- AC4: For each story, the HTML displays the linked title, HN link, and conditionally displays the article and discussion summaries with headings.
- AC5: Basic separators and margins are used for readability. The HTML is simple and likely to render reasonably in most email clients.
---
### Story 5.3: Implement Nodemailer Email Sender
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a module to send the generated HTML email using Nodemailer, configured with credentials stored securely in the environment file.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Add Nodemailer dependencies: `npm install nodemailer @types/nodemailer --save-prod`.
- Add required configuration variables to `.env.example` (and local `.env`): `EMAIL_HOST`, `EMAIL_PORT` (e.g., 587), `EMAIL_SECURE` (e.g., `false` for STARTTLS on 587, `true` for 465), `EMAIL_USER`, `EMAIL_PASS`, `EMAIL_FROM` (e.g., `"Your Name <you@example.com>"`), `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS` (comma-separated list).
- Create a new module: `src/email/emailSender.ts`.
- Implement an async function `sendDigestEmail(subject: string, htmlContent: string): Promise<boolean>`.
- Inside the function:
- Load the `EMAIL_*` variables from the config module.
- Create a Nodemailer transporter using `nodemailer.createTransport` with the loaded config (host, port, secure flag, auth: { user, pass }).
- Verify transporter configuration using `transporter.verify()` (optional but recommended). Log verification success/failure.
- Parse the `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS` string into an array or comma-separated string suitable for the `to` field.
- Define the `mailOptions`: `{ from: EMAIL_FROM, to: parsedRecipients, subject: subject, html: htmlContent }`.
- Call `await transporter.sendMail(mailOptions)`.
- If `sendMail` succeeds, log the success message including the `messageId` from the result. Return `true`.
- If `sendMail` fails (throws error), log the error using the logger. Return `false`.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: `nodemailer` and `@types/nodemailer` dependencies are added.
- AC2: `EMAIL_*` variables are defined in `.env.example` and loaded from config.
- AC3: `emailSender.ts` module exists and exports `sendDigestEmail`.
- AC4: `sendDigestEmail` correctly creates a Nodemailer transporter using configuration from `.env`. Transporter verification is attempted (optional AC).
- AC5: The `to` field is correctly populated based on `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS`.
- AC6: `transporter.sendMail` is called with correct `from`, `to`, `subject`, and `html` options.
- AC7: Email sending success (including message ID) or failure is logged clearly.
- AC8: The function returns `true` on successful sending, `false` otherwise.
---
### Story 5.4: Integrate Email Assembly and Sending into Main Workflow
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want the main application workflow (`src/index.ts`) to orchestrate the final steps: assembling digest data, rendering the HTML, and triggering the email send after all previous stages are complete.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts`.
- Import `assembleDigestData`, `renderDigestHtml`, `sendDigestEmail`.
- Execute these steps *after* the main loop (where stories are fetched, scraped, summarized, and persisted) completes:
- Log "Starting final digest assembly and email dispatch...".
- Determine the path to the current date-stamped output directory.
- Call `const digestData = await assembleDigestData(dateDirPath)`.
- Check if `digestData` array is not empty.
- If yes:
- Get the current date string (e.g., 'YYYY-MM-DD').
- `const htmlContent = renderDigestHtml(digestData, currentDate)`.
- `const subject = \`BMad Hacker Daily Digest - ${currentDate}\``.
- `const emailSent = await sendDigestEmail(subject, htmlContent)`.
- Log the final outcome based on `emailSent` ("Digest email sent successfully." or "Failed to send digest email.").
- If no (`digestData` is empty or assembly failed):
- Log an error: "Failed to assemble digest data or no data found. Skipping email."
- Log "BMad Hacker Daily Digest process finished."
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes all stages (Epics 1-4) and then proceeds to email assembly and sending.
- AC2: `assembleDigestData` is called correctly with the output directory path after other processing is done.
- AC3: If data is assembled, `renderDigestHtml` and `sendDigestEmail` are called with the correct data, subject, and HTML.
- AC4: The final success or failure of the email sending step is logged.
- AC5: If `assembleDigestData` returns no data, email sending is skipped, and an appropriate message is logged.
- AC6: The application logs a final completion message.
---
### Story 5.5: Implement Stage Testing Utility for Emailing
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate script/command to test the email assembly, rendering, and sending logic using persisted local data, including a crucial `--dry-run` option to prevent accidental email sending during tests.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Add `yargs` dependency for argument parsing: `npm install yargs @types/yargs --save-dev`.
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/send_digest.ts`.
- Import necessary modules: `fs`, `path`, `logger`, `config`, `assembleDigestData`, `renderDigestHtml`, `sendDigestEmail`, `yargs`.
- Use `yargs` to parse command-line arguments, specifically looking for a `--dry-run` boolean flag (defaulting to `false`). Allow an optional argument for specifying the date-stamped directory, otherwise default to current date.
- The script should:
- Initialize logger, load config.
- Determine the target date-stamped directory path (from arg or default). Log the target directory.
- Call `await assembleDigestData(dateDirPath)`.
- If data is assembled and not empty:
- Determine the date string for the subject/title.
- Call `renderDigestHtml(digestData, dateString)` to get HTML.
- Construct the subject string.
- Check the `dryRun` flag:
- If `true`: Log "DRY RUN enabled. Skipping actual email send.". Log the subject. Save the `htmlContent` to a file in the target directory (e.g., `_digest_preview.html`). Log that the preview file was saved.
- If `false`: Log "Live run: Attempting to send email...". Call `await sendDigestEmail(subject, htmlContent)`. Log success/failure based on the return value.
- If data assembly fails or is empty, log the error.
- Add script to `package.json`: `"stage:email": "ts-node src/stages/send_digest.ts --"`. The `--` allows passing arguments like `--dry-run`.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The file `src/stages/send_digest.ts` exists. `yargs` dependency is added.
- AC2: The script `stage:email` is defined in `package.json` allowing arguments.
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:email -- --dry-run` reads local data, renders HTML, logs the intent, saves `_digest_preview.html` locally, and does *not* call `sendDigestEmail`.
- AC4: Running `npm run stage:email` (without `--dry-run`) reads local data, renders HTML, and *does* call `sendDigestEmail`, logging the outcome.
- AC5: The script correctly identifies and acts upon the `--dry-run` flag.
- AC6: Logs clearly distinguish between dry runs and live runs and report success/failure.
- AC7: The script operates using only local files and the email configuration/service; it does not invoke prior pipeline stages (Algolia, scraping, Ollama).

# Epic 1: Project Initialization & Core Setup
**Goal:** Initialize the project using the "bmad-boilerplate", manage dependencies, setup `.env` and config loading, establish basic CLI entry point, setup basic logging and output directory structure. This provides the foundational setup for all subsequent development work.
## Story List
### Story 1.1: Initialize Project from Boilerplate
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to set up the initial project structure using the `bmad-boilerplate`, so that I have the standard tooling (TS, Jest, ESLint, Prettier), configurations, and scripts in place.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Copy or clone the contents of the `bmad-boilerplate` into the new project's root directory.
- Initialize a git repository in the project root directory (if not already done by cloning).
- Ensure the `.gitignore` file from the boilerplate is present.
- Run `npm install` to download and install all `devDependencies` specified in the boilerplate's `package.json`.
- Verify that the core boilerplate scripts (`lint`, `format`, `test`, `build`) execute without errors on the initial codebase.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The project directory contains the files and structure from `bmad-boilerplate`.
- AC2: A `node_modules` directory exists and contains packages corresponding to `devDependencies`.
- AC3: `npm run lint` command completes successfully without reporting any linting errors.
- AC4: `npm run format` command completes successfully, potentially making formatting changes according to Prettier rules. Running it a second time should result in no changes.
- AC5: `npm run test` command executes Jest successfully (it may report "no tests found" which is acceptable at this stage).
- AC6: `npm run build` command executes successfully, creating a `dist` directory containing compiled JavaScript output.
- AC7: The `.gitignore` file exists and includes entries for `node_modules/`, `.env`, `dist/`, etc. as specified in the boilerplate.
---
### Story 1.2: Setup Environment Configuration
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to establish the environment configuration mechanism using `.env` files, so that secrets and settings (like output paths) can be managed outside of version control, following boilerplate conventions.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Add a production dependency for loading `.env` files (e.g., `dotenv`). Run `npm install dotenv --save-prod` (or similar library).
- Verify the `.env.example` file exists (from boilerplate).
- Add an initial configuration variable `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH=./output` to `.env.example`.
- Create the `.env` file locally by copying `.env.example`. Populate `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` if needed (can keep default).
- Implement a utility module (e.g., `src/config.ts`) that loads environment variables from the `.env` file at application startup.
- The utility should export the loaded configuration values (initially just `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH`).
- Ensure the `.env` file is listed in `.gitignore` and is not committed.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The chosen `.env` library (e.g., `dotenv`) is listed under `dependencies` in `package.json` and `package-lock.json` is updated.
- AC2: The `.env.example` file exists, is tracked by git, and contains the line `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH=./output`.
- AC3: The `.env` file exists locally but is NOT tracked by git.
- AC4: A configuration module (`src/config.ts` or similar) exists and successfully loads the `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` value from `.env` when the application starts.
- AC5: The loaded `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` value is accessible within the application code.
---
### Story 1.3: Implement Basic CLI Entry Point & Execution
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a basic `src/index.ts` entry point that can be executed via the boilerplate's `dev` and `start` scripts, providing a working foundation for the application logic.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create the main application entry point file at `src/index.ts`.
- Implement minimal code within `src/index.ts` to:
- Import the configuration loading mechanism (from Story 1.2).
- Log a simple startup message to the console (e.g., "BMad Hacker Daily Digest - Starting Up...").
- (Optional) Log the loaded `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` to verify config loading.
- Confirm execution using boilerplate scripts.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `src/index.ts` file exists.
- AC2: Running `npm run dev` executes `src/index.ts` via `ts-node` and logs the startup message to the console.
- AC3: Running `npm run build` successfully compiles `src/index.ts` (and any imports) into the `dist` directory.
- AC4: Running `npm start` (after a successful build) executes the compiled code from `dist` and logs the startup message to the console.
---
### Story 1.4: Setup Basic Logging and Output Directory
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a basic console logging mechanism and the dynamic creation of a date-stamped output directory, so that the application can provide execution feedback and prepare for storing data artifacts in subsequent epics.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Implement a simple, reusable logging utility module (e.g., `src/logger.ts`). Initially, it can wrap `console.log`, `console.warn`, `console.error`.
- Refactor `src/index.ts` to use this `logger` for its startup message(s).
- In `src/index.ts` (or a setup function called by it):
- Retrieve the `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` from the configuration (loaded in Story 1.2).
- Determine the current date in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format.
- Construct the full path for the date-stamped subdirectory (e.g., `${OUTPUT_DIR_PATH}/YYYY-MM-DD`).
- Check if the base output directory exists; if not, create it.
- Check if the date-stamped subdirectory exists; if not, create it recursively. Use Node.js `fs` module (e.g., `fs.mkdirSync(path, { recursive: true })`).
- Log (using the logger) the full path of the output directory being used for the current run (e.g., "Output directory for this run: ./output/2025-05-04").
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: A logger utility module (`src/logger.ts` or similar) exists and is used for console output in `src/index.ts`.
- AC2: Running `npm run dev` or `npm start` logs the startup message via the logger.
- AC3: Running the application creates the base output directory (e.g., `./output` defined in `.env`) if it doesn't already exist.
- AC4: Running the application creates a date-stamped subdirectory (e.g., `./output/2025-05-04`) within the base output directory if it doesn't already exist.
- AC5: The application logs a message indicating the full path to the date-stamped output directory created/used for the current execution.
- AC6: The application exits gracefully after performing these setup steps (for now).

# Epic 2 File
# Epic 2: HN Data Acquisition & Persistence
**Goal:** Implement fetching top 10 stories and their comments (respecting limits) from Algolia HN API, and persist this raw data locally into the date-stamped output directory created in Epic 1. Implement a stage testing utility for fetching.
## Story List
### Story 2.1: Implement Algolia HN API Client
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a dedicated client module to interact with the Algolia Hacker News Search API, so that fetching stories and comments is encapsulated, reusable, and uses the required native `Workspace` API.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new module: `src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts`.
- Implement an async function `WorkspaceTopStories` within the client:
- Use native `Workspace` to call the Algolia HN Search API endpoint for front-page stories (e.g., `http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=front_page&hitsPerPage=10`). Adjust `hitsPerPage` if needed to ensure 10 stories.
- Parse the JSON response.
- Extract required metadata for each story: `objectID` (use as `storyId`), `title`, `url` (article URL), `points`, `num_comments`. Handle potential missing `url` field gracefully (log warning, maybe skip story later if URL needed).
- Construct the `hnUrl` for each story (e.g., `https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id={storyId}`).
- Return an array of structured story objects.
- Implement a separate async function `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` within the client:
- Accept `storyId` and `maxComments` limit as arguments.
- Use native `Workspace` to call the Algolia HN Search API endpoint for comments of a specific story (e.g., `http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=comment,story_{storyId}&hitsPerPage={maxComments}`).
- Parse the JSON response.
- Extract required comment data: `objectID` (use as `commentId`), `comment_text`, `author`, `created_at`.
- Filter out comments where `comment_text` is null or empty. Ensure only up to `maxComments` are returned.
- Return an array of structured comment objects.
- Implement basic error handling using `try...catch` around `Workspace` calls and check `response.ok` status. Log errors using the logger utility from Epic 1.
- Define TypeScript interfaces/types for the expected structures of API responses (stories, comments) and the data returned by the client functions (e.g., `Story`, `Comment`).
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The module `src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts` exists and exports `WorkspaceTopStories` and `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` functions.
- AC2: Calling `WorkspaceTopStories` makes a network request to the correct Algolia endpoint and returns a promise resolving to an array of 10 `Story` objects containing the specified metadata.
- AC3: Calling `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` with a valid `storyId` and `maxComments` limit makes a network request to the correct Algolia endpoint and returns a promise resolving to an array of `Comment` objects (up to `maxComments`), filtering out empty ones.
- AC4: Both functions use the native `Workspace` API internally.
- AC5: Network errors or non-successful API responses (e.g., status 4xx, 5xx) are caught and logged using the logger.
- AC6: Relevant TypeScript types (`Story`, `Comment`, etc.) are defined and used within the client module.
---
### Story 2.2: Integrate HN Data Fetching into Main Workflow
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to integrate the HN data fetching logic into the main application workflow (`src/index.ts`), so that running the app retrieves the top 10 stories and their comments after completing the setup from Epic 1.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts` (or a main async function called by it).
- Import the `algoliaHNClient` functions.
- Import the configuration module to access `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- After the Epic 1 setup (config load, logger init, output dir creation), call `WorkspaceTopStories()`.
- Log the number of stories fetched.
- Iterate through the array of fetched `Story` objects.
- For each `Story`, call `WorkspaceCommentsForStory()`, passing the `story.storyId` and the configured `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- Store the fetched comments within the corresponding `Story` object in memory (e.g., add a `comments: Comment[]` property to the `Story` object).
- Log progress using the logger utility (e.g., "Fetched 10 stories.", "Fetching up to X comments for story {storyId}...").
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes Epic 1 setup steps followed by fetching stories and then comments for each story.
- AC2: Logs clearly show the start and successful completion of fetching stories, and the start of fetching comments for each of the 10 stories.
- AC3: The configured `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` value is read from config and used in the calls to `WorkspaceCommentsForStory`.
- AC4: After successful execution, story objects held in memory contain a nested array of fetched comment objects. (Can be verified via debugger or temporary logging).
---
### Story 2.3: Persist Fetched HN Data Locally
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to save the fetched HN stories (including their comments) to JSON files in the date-stamped output directory, so that the raw data is persisted locally for subsequent pipeline stages and debugging.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Define a consistent JSON structure for the output file content. Example: `{ storyId: "...", title: "...", url: "...", hnUrl: "...", points: ..., fetchedAt: "ISO_TIMESTAMP", comments: [{ commentId: "...", text: "...", author: "...", createdAt: "ISO_TIMESTAMP", ... }, ...] }`. Include a timestamp for when the data was fetched.
- Import Node.js `fs` (specifically `fs.writeFileSync`) and `path` modules.
- In the main workflow (`src/index.ts`), within the loop iterating through stories (after comments have been fetched and added to the story object in Story 2.2):
- Get the full path to the date-stamped output directory (determined in Epic 1).
- Construct the filename for the story's data: `{storyId}_data.json`.
- Construct the full file path using `path.join()`.
- Serialize the complete story object (including comments and fetch timestamp) to a JSON string using `JSON.stringify(storyObject, null, 2)` for readability.
- Write the JSON string to the file using `fs.writeFileSync()`. Use a `try...catch` block for error handling.
- Log (using the logger) the successful persistence of each story's data file or any errors encountered during file writing.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: After running `npm run dev`, the date-stamped output directory (e.g., `./output/YYYY-MM-DD/`) contains exactly 10 files named `{storyId}_data.json`.
- AC2: Each JSON file contains valid JSON representing a single story object, including its metadata, fetch timestamp, and an array of its fetched comments, matching the defined structure.
- AC3: The number of comments in each file's `comments` array does not exceed `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- AC4: Logs indicate that saving data to a file was attempted for each story, reporting success or specific file writing errors.
---
### Story 2.4: Implement Stage Testing Utility for HN Fetching
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate, executable script that *only* performs the HN data fetching and persistence, so I can test and trigger this stage independently of the full pipeline.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts`.
- This script should perform the essential setup required for this stage: initialize logger, load configuration (`.env`), determine and create output directory (reuse or replicate logic from Epic 1 / `src/index.ts`).
- The script should then execute the core logic of fetching stories via `algoliaHNClient.fetchTopStories`, fetching comments via `algoliaHNClient.fetchCommentsForStory` (using loaded config for limit), and persisting the results to JSON files using `fs.writeFileSync` (replicating logic from Story 2.3).
- The script should log its progress using the logger utility.
- Add a new script command to `package.json` under `"scripts"`: `"stage:fetch": "ts-node src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts"`.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The file `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts` exists.
- AC2: The script `stage:fetch` is defined in `package.json`'s `scripts` section.
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:fetch` executes successfully, performing only the setup, fetch, and persist steps.
- AC4: Running `npm run stage:fetch` creates the same 10 `{storyId}_data.json` files in the correct date-stamped output directory as running the main `npm run dev` command (at the current state of development).
- AC5: Logs generated by `npm run stage:fetch` reflect only the fetching and persisting steps, not subsequent pipeline stages.

# Epic 3 File
# Epic 3: Article Scraping & Persistence
**Goal:** Implement a best-effort article scraping mechanism to fetch and extract plain text content from the external URLs associated with fetched HN stories. Handle failures gracefully and persist successfully scraped text locally. Implement a stage testing utility for scraping.
## Story List
### Story 3.1: Implement Basic Article Scraper Module
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a module that attempts to fetch HTML from a URL and extract the main article text using basic methods, handling common failures gracefully, so article content can be prepared for summarization.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new module: `src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`.
- Add a suitable HTML parsing/extraction library dependency (e.g., `@extractus/article-extractor` recommended for simplicity, or `cheerio` for more control). Run `npm install @extractus/article-extractor --save-prod` (or chosen alternative).
- Implement an async function `scrapeArticle(url: string): Promise<string | null>` within the module.
- Inside the function:
- Use native `Workspace` to retrieve content from the `url`. Set a reasonable timeout (e.g., 10-15 seconds). Include a `User-Agent` header to mimic a browser.
- Handle potential `Workspace` errors (network errors, timeouts) using `try...catch`.
- Check the `response.ok` status. If not okay, log error and return `null`.
- Check the `Content-Type` header of the response. If it doesn't indicate HTML (e.g., does not include `text/html`), log warning and return `null`.
- If HTML is received, attempt to extract the main article text using the chosen library (`article-extractor` preferred).
- Wrap the extraction logic in a `try...catch` to handle library-specific errors.
- Return the extracted plain text string if successful. Ensure it's just text, not HTML markup.
- Return `null` if extraction fails or results in empty content.
- Log all significant events, errors, or reasons for returning null (e.g., "Scraping URL...", "Fetch failed:", "Non-HTML content type:", "Extraction failed:", "Successfully extracted text") using the logger utility.
- Define TypeScript types/interfaces as needed.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `articleScraper.ts` module exists and exports the `scrapeArticle` function.
- AC2: The chosen scraping library (e.g., `@extractus/article-extractor`) is added to `dependencies` in `package.json`.
- AC3: `scrapeArticle` uses native `Workspace` with a timeout and User-Agent header.
- AC4: `scrapeArticle` correctly handles fetch errors, non-OK responses, and non-HTML content types by logging and returning `null`.
- AC5: `scrapeArticle` uses the chosen library to attempt text extraction from valid HTML content.
- AC6: `scrapeArticle` returns the extracted plain text on success, and `null` on any failure (fetch, non-HTML, extraction error, empty result).
- AC7: Relevant logs are produced for success, failure modes, and errors encountered during the process.
---
### Story 3.2: Integrate Article Scraping into Main Workflow
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to integrate the article scraper into the main workflow (`src/index.ts`), attempting to scrape the article for each HN story that has a valid URL, after fetching its data.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts`.
- Import the `scrapeArticle` function from `src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`.
- Within the main loop iterating through the fetched stories (after comments are fetched in Epic 2):
- Check if `story.url` exists and appears to be a valid HTTP/HTTPS URL. A simple check for starting with `http://` or `https://` is sufficient.
- If the URL is missing or invalid, log a warning ("Skipping scraping for story {storyId}: Missing or invalid URL") and proceed to the next story's processing step.
- If a valid URL exists, log ("Attempting to scrape article for story {storyId} from {story.url}").
- Call `await scrapeArticle(story.url)`.
- Store the result (the extracted text string or `null`) in memory, associated with the story object (e.g., add property `articleContent: string | null`).
- Log the outcome clearly (e.g., "Successfully scraped article for story {storyId}", "Failed to scrape article for story {storyId}").
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes Epic 1 & 2 steps, and then attempts article scraping for stories with valid URLs.
- AC2: Stories with missing or invalid URLs are skipped, and a corresponding log message is generated.
- AC3: For stories with valid URLs, the `scrapeArticle` function is called.
- AC4: Logs clearly indicate the start and success/failure outcome of the scraping attempt for each relevant story.
- AC5: Story objects held in memory after this stage contain an `articleContent` property holding the scraped text (string) or `null` if scraping was skipped or failed.
---
### Story 3.3: Persist Scraped Article Text Locally
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to save successfully scraped article text to a separate local file for each story, so that the text content is available as input for the summarization stage.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Import Node.js `fs` and `path` modules if not already present in `src/index.ts`.
- In the main workflow (`src/index.ts`), immediately after a successful call to `scrapeArticle` for a story (where the result is a non-null string):
- Retrieve the full path to the current date-stamped output directory.
- Construct the filename: `{storyId}_article.txt`.
- Construct the full file path using `path.join()`.
- Get the successfully scraped article text string (`articleContent`).
- Use `fs.writeFileSync(fullPath, articleContent, 'utf-8')` to save the text to the file. Wrap in `try...catch` for file system errors.
- Log the successful saving of the file (e.g., "Saved scraped article text to {filename}") or any file writing errors encountered.
- Ensure *no* `_article.txt` file is created if `scrapeArticle` returned `null` (due to skipping or failure).
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: After running `npm run dev`, the date-stamped output directory contains `_article.txt` files *only* for those stories where `scrapeArticle` succeeded and returned text content.
- AC2: The name of each article text file is `{storyId}_article.txt`.
- AC3: The content of each `_article.txt` file is the plain text string returned by `scrapeArticle`.
- AC4: Logs confirm the successful writing of each `_article.txt` file or report specific file writing errors.
- AC5: No empty `_article.txt` files are created. Files only exist if scraping was successful.
---
### Story 3.4: Implement Stage Testing Utility for Scraping
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate script/command to test the article scraping logic using HN story data from local files, allowing independent testing and debugging of the scraper.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/scrape_articles.ts`.
- Import necessary modules: `fs`, `path`, `logger`, `config`, `scrapeArticle`.
- The script should:
- Initialize the logger.
- Load configuration (to get `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH`).
- Determine the target date-stamped directory path (e.g., `${OUTPUT_DIR_PATH}/YYYY-MM-DD`, using the current date or potentially an optional CLI argument). Ensure this directory exists.
- Read the directory contents and identify all `{storyId}_data.json` files.
- For each `_data.json` file found:
- Read and parse the JSON content.
- Extract the `storyId` and `url`.
- If a valid `url` exists, call `await scrapeArticle(url)`.
- If scraping succeeds (returns text), save the text to `{storyId}_article.txt` in the same directory (using logic from Story 3.3). Overwrite if the file exists.
- Log the progress and outcome (skip/success/fail) for each story processed.
- Add a new script command to `package.json`: `"stage:scrape": "ts-node src/stages/scrape_articles.ts"`. Consider adding argument parsing later if needed to specify a date/directory.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The file `src/stages/scrape_articles.ts` exists.
- AC2: The script `stage:scrape` is defined in `package.json`.
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:scrape` (assuming a directory with `_data.json` files exists from a previous `stage:fetch` run) reads these files.
- AC4: The script calls `scrapeArticle` for stories with valid URLs found in the JSON files.
- AC5: The script creates/updates `{storyId}_article.txt` files in the target directory corresponding to successfully scraped articles.
- AC6: The script logs its actions (reading files, attempting scraping, saving results) for each story ID processed.
- AC7: The script operates solely based on local `_data.json` files and fetching from external article URLs; it does not call the Algolia HN API.

# Epic 4 File
# Epic 4: LLM Summarization & Persistence
**Goal:** Integrate with the configured local Ollama instance to generate summaries for successfully scraped article text and fetched comments. Persist these summaries locally. Implement a stage testing utility for summarization.
## Story List
### Story 4.1: Implement Ollama Client Module
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a client module to interact with the configured Ollama API endpoint via HTTP, handling requests and responses for text generation, so that summaries can be generated programmatically.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- **Prerequisite:** Ensure a local Ollama instance is installed and running, accessible via the URL defined in `.env` (`OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL`), and that the model specified in `.env` (`OLLAMA_MODEL`) has been downloaded (e.g., via `ollama pull model_name`). Instructions for this setup should be in the project README.
- Create a new module: `src/clients/ollamaClient.ts`.
- Implement an async function `generateSummary(promptTemplate: string, content: string): Promise<string | null>`. *(Note: Parameter name changed for clarity)*
- Add configuration variables `OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL` (e.g., `http://localhost:11434`) and `OLLAMA_MODEL` (e.g., `llama3`) to `.env.example`. Ensure they are loaded via the config module (`src/utils/config.ts`). Update local `.env` with actual values. Add optional `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS` to `.env.example` with a default like `120000`.
- Inside `generateSummary`:
- Construct the full prompt string using the `promptTemplate` and the provided `content` (e.g., replacing a placeholder like `{Content Placeholder}` in the template, or simple concatenation if templates are basic).
- Construct the Ollama API request payload (JSON): `{ model: configured_model, prompt: full_prompt, stream: false }`. Refer to Ollama `/api/generate` documentation and `docs/data-models.md`.
- Use native `Workspace` to send a POST request to the configured Ollama endpoint + `/api/generate`. Set appropriate headers (`Content-Type: application/json`). Use the configured `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS` or a reasonable default (e.g., 2 minutes).
- Handle `Workspace` errors (network, timeout) using `try...catch`.
- Check `response.ok`. If not OK, log the status/error and return `null`.
- Parse the JSON response from Ollama. Extract the generated text (typically in the `response` field). Refer to `docs/data-models.md`.
- Check for potential errors within the Ollama response structure itself (e.g., an `error` field).
- Return the extracted summary string on success. Return `null` on any failure.
- Log key events: initiating request (mention model), receiving response, success, failure reasons, potentially request/response time using the logger.
- Define necessary TypeScript types for the Ollama request payload and expected response structure in `src/types/ollama.ts` (referenced in `docs/data-models.md`).
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `ollamaClient.ts` module exists and exports `generateSummary`.
- AC2: `OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL` and `OLLAMA_MODEL` are defined in `.env.example`, loaded via config, and used by the client. Optional `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS` is handled.
- AC3: `generateSummary` sends a correctly formatted POST request (model, full prompt based on template and content, stream:false) to the configured Ollama endpoint/path using native `Workspace`.
- AC4: Network errors, timeouts, and non-OK API responses are handled gracefully, logged, and result in a `null` return (given the Prerequisite Ollama service is running).
- AC5: A successful Ollama response is parsed correctly, the generated text is extracted, and returned as a string.
* AC6: Unexpected Ollama response formats or internal errors (e.g., `{"error": "..."}`) are handled, logged, and result in a `null` return.
* AC7: Logs provide visibility into the client's interaction with the Ollama API.

### Story 4.2: Define Summarization Prompts
* **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want standardized base prompts for generating article summaries and HN discussion summaries documented centrally, ensuring consistent instructions are sent to the LLM.
* **Detailed Requirements:**
* Define two standardized base prompts (`ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT`, `DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT`) **and document them in `docs/prompts.md`**.
* Ensure these prompts are accessible within the application code, for example, by defining them as exported constants in a dedicated module like `src/utils/prompts.ts`, which reads from or mirrors the content in `docs/prompts.md`.
* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
* AC1: The `ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT` text is defined in `docs/prompts.md` with appropriate instructional content.
* AC2: The `DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT` text is defined in `docs/prompts.md` with appropriate instructional content.
* AC3: The prompt texts documented in `docs/prompts.md` are available as constants or variables within the application code (e.g., via `src/utils/prompts.ts`) for use by the Ollama client integration.
---
### Story 4.3: Integrate Summarization into Main Workflow
* **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to integrate the Ollama client into the main workflow to generate summaries for each story's scraped article text (if available) and fetched comments, using centrally defined prompts and handling potential comment length limits.
* **Detailed Requirements:**
* Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts` or `src/core/pipeline.ts`.
* Import `ollamaClient.generateSummary` and the prompt constants/variables (e.g., from `src/utils/prompts.ts`, which reflect `docs/prompts.md`).
* Load the optional `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` configuration value from `.env` via the config utility.
* Within the main loop iterating through stories (after article scraping/persistence in Epic 3):
* **Article Summary Generation:**
* Check if the `story` object has non-null `articleContent`.
* If yes: log "Attempting article summarization for story {storyId}", call `await generateSummary(ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT, story.articleContent)`, store the result (string or null) as `story.articleSummary`, log success/failure.
* If no: set `story.articleSummary = null`, log "Skipping article summarization: No content".
* **Discussion Summary Generation:**
* Check if the `story` object has a non-empty `comments` array.
* If yes:
* Format the `story.comments` array into a single text block suitable for the LLM prompt (e.g., concatenating `comment.text` with separators like `---`).
* **Check truncation limit:** If `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` is configured to a positive number and the `formattedCommentsText` length exceeds it, truncate `formattedCommentsText` to the limit and log a warning: "Comment text truncated to {limit} characters for summarization for story {storyId}".
* Log "Attempting discussion summarization for story {storyId}".
* Call `await generateSummary(DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT, formattedCommentsText)`. *(Pass the potentially truncated text)*
* Store the result (string or null) as `story.discussionSummary`. Log success/failure.
* If no: set `story.discussionSummary = null`, log "Skipping discussion summarization: No comments".
* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
* AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes steps from Epics 1-3, then attempts summarization using the Ollama client.
* AC2: Article summary is attempted only if `articleContent` exists for a story.
* AC3: Discussion summary is attempted only if `comments` exist for a story.
* AC4: `generateSummary` is called with the correct prompts (sourced consistently with `docs/prompts.md`) and corresponding content (article text or formatted/potentially truncated comments).
* AC5: If `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` is set and comment text exceeds it, the text passed to `generateSummary` is truncated, and a warning is logged.
* AC6: Logs clearly indicate the start, success, or failure (including null returns from the client) for both article and discussion summarization attempts per story.
* AC7: Story objects in memory now contain `articleSummary` (string/null) and `discussionSummary` (string/null) properties.

### Story 4.4: Persist Generated Summaries Locally
*(No changes needed for this story based on recent decisions)*
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to save the generated article and discussion summaries (or null placeholders) to a local JSON file for each story, making them available for the email assembly stage.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Define the structure for the summary output file: `{storyId}_summary.json`. Content example: `{ "storyId": "...", "articleSummary": "...", "discussionSummary": "...", "summarizedAt": "ISO_TIMESTAMP" }`. Note that `articleSummary` and `discussionSummary` can be `null`.
- Import `fs` and `path` in `src/index.ts` or `src/core/pipeline.ts` if needed.
- In the main workflow loop, after *both* summarization attempts (article and discussion) for a story are complete:
- Create a summary result object containing `storyId`, `articleSummary` (string or null), `discussionSummary` (string or null), and the current ISO timestamp (`new Date().toISOString()`). Add this timestamp to the in-memory `story` object as well (`story.summarizedAt`).
- Get the full path to the date-stamped output directory.
- Construct the filename: `{storyId}_summary.json`.
- Construct the full file path using `path.join()`.
- Serialize the summary result object to JSON (`JSON.stringify(..., null, 2)`).
- Use `fs.writeFileSync` to save the JSON to the file, wrapping in `try...catch`.
- Log the successful saving of the summary file or any file writing errors.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: After running `npm run dev`, the date-stamped output directory contains 10 files named `{storyId}_summary.json`.
- AC2: Each `_summary.json` file contains valid JSON adhering to the defined structure.
- AC3: The `articleSummary` field contains the generated summary string if successful, otherwise `null`.
- AC4: The `discussionSummary` field contains the generated summary string if successful, otherwise `null`.
- AC5: A valid ISO timestamp is present in the `summarizedAt` field.
- AC6: Logs confirm successful writing of each summary file or report file system errors.

### Story 4.5: Implement Stage Testing Utility for Summarization
*(Changes needed to reflect prompt sourcing and optional truncation)*
* **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate script/command to test the LLM summarization logic using locally persisted data (HN comments, scraped article text), allowing independent testing of prompts and Ollama interaction.
* **Detailed Requirements:**
* Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/summarize_content.ts`.
* Import necessary modules: `fs`, `path`, `logger`, `config`, `ollamaClient`, prompt constants (e.g., from `src/utils/prompts.ts`).
* The script should:
* Initialize logger, load configuration (Ollama endpoint/model, output dir, **optional `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY`**).
* Determine target date-stamped directory path.
* Find all `{storyId}_data.json` files in the directory.
* For each `storyId` found:
* Read `{storyId}_data.json` to get comments. Format them into a single text block.
* *Attempt* to read `{storyId}_article.txt`. Handle file-not-found gracefully. Store content or null.
* Call `ollamaClient.generateSummary` for article text (if not null) using `ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT`.
* **Apply truncation logic:** If comments exist, check `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` and truncate the formatted comment text block if needed, logging a warning.
* Call `ollamaClient.generateSummary` for formatted comments (if comments exist) using `DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT` *(passing potentially truncated text)*.
* Construct the summary result object (with summaries or nulls, and timestamp).
* Save the result object to `{storyId}_summary.json` in the same directory (using logic from Story 4.4), overwriting if exists.
* Log progress (reading files, calling Ollama, truncation warnings, saving results) for each story ID.
* Add script to `package.json`: `"stage:summarize": "ts-node src/stages/summarize_content.ts"`.
* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
* AC1: The file `src/stages/summarize_content.ts` exists.
* AC2: The script `stage:summarize` is defined in `package.json`.
* AC3: Running `npm run stage:summarize` (after `stage:fetch` and `stage:scrape` runs) reads `_data.json` and attempts to read `_article.txt` files from the target directory.
* AC4: The script calls the `ollamaClient` with correct prompts (sourced consistently with `docs/prompts.md`) and content derived *only* from the local files (requires Ollama service running per Story 4.1 prerequisite).
* AC5: If `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` is set and applicable, comment text is truncated before calling the client, and a warning is logged.
* AC6: The script creates/updates `{storyId}_summary.json` files in the target directory reflecting the results of the Ollama calls (summaries or nulls).
* AC7: Logs show the script processing each story ID found locally, interacting with Ollama, and saving results.
* AC8: The script does not call Algolia API or the article scraper module.

# Epic 5 File
# Epic 5: Digest Assembly & Email Dispatch
**Goal:** Assemble the collected story data and summaries from local files, format them into a readable HTML email digest, and send the email using Nodemailer with configured credentials. Implement a stage testing utility for emailing with a dry-run option.
## Story List
### Story 5.1: Implement Email Content Assembler
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a module that reads the persisted story metadata (`_data.json`) and summaries (`_summary.json`) from a specified directory, consolidating the necessary information needed to render the email digest.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new module: `src/email/contentAssembler.ts`.
- Define a TypeScript type/interface `DigestData` representing the data needed per story for the email template: `{ storyId: string, title: string, hnUrl: string, articleUrl: string | null, articleSummary: string | null, discussionSummary: string | null }`.
- Implement an async function `assembleDigestData(dateDirPath: string): Promise<DigestData[]>`.
- The function should:
- Use Node.js `fs` to read the contents of the `dateDirPath`.
- Identify all files matching the pattern `{storyId}_data.json`.
- For each `storyId` found:
- Read and parse the `{storyId}_data.json` file. Extract `title`, `hnUrl`, and `url` (use as `articleUrl`). Handle potential file read/parse errors gracefully (log and skip story).
- Attempt to read and parse the corresponding `{storyId}_summary.json` file. Handle file-not-found or parse errors gracefully (treat `articleSummary` and `discussionSummary` as `null`).
- Construct a `DigestData` object for the story, including the extracted metadata and summaries (or nulls).
- Collect all successfully constructed `DigestData` objects into an array.
- Return the array. It should ideally contain 10 items if all previous stages succeeded.
- Log progress (e.g., "Assembling digest data from directory...", "Processing story {storyId}...") and any errors encountered during file processing using the logger.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `contentAssembler.ts` module exists and exports `assembleDigestData` and the `DigestData` type.
- AC2: `assembleDigestData` correctly reads `_data.json` files from the provided directory path.
- AC3: It attempts to read corresponding `_summary.json` files, correctly handling cases where the summary file might be missing or unparseable (resulting in null summaries for that story).
- AC4: The function returns a promise resolving to an array of `DigestData` objects, populated with data extracted from the files.
- AC5: Errors during file reading or JSON parsing are logged, and the function returns data for successfully processed stories.
---
### Story 5.2: Create HTML Email Template & Renderer
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a basic HTML email template and a function to render it with the assembled digest data, producing the final HTML content for the email body.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Define the HTML structure. This can be done using template literals within a function or potentially using a simple template file (e.g., `src/email/templates/digestTemplate.html`) and `fs.readFileSync`. Template literals are simpler for MVP.
- Create a function `renderDigestHtml(data: DigestData[], digestDate: string): string` (e.g., in `src/email/contentAssembler.ts` or a new `templater.ts`).
- The function should generate an HTML string with:
- A suitable title in the body (e.g., `<h1>Hacker News Top 10 Summaries for ${digestDate}</h1>`).
- A loop through the `data` array.
- For each `story` in `data`:
- Display `<h2><a href="${story.articleUrl || story.hnUrl}">${story.title}</a></h2>`.
- Display `<p><a href="${story.hnUrl}">View HN Discussion</a></p>`.
- Conditionally display `<h3>Article Summary</h3><p>${story.articleSummary}</p>` *only if* `story.articleSummary` is not null/empty.
- Conditionally display `<h3>Discussion Summary</h3><p>${story.discussionSummary}</p>` *only if* `story.discussionSummary` is not null/empty.
- Include a separator (e.g., `<hr style="margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;">`).
- Use basic inline CSS for minimal styling (margins, etc.) to ensure readability. Avoid complex layouts.
- Return the complete HTML document as a string.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: A function `renderDigestHtml` exists that accepts the digest data array and a date string.
- AC2: The function returns a single, complete HTML string.
- AC3: The generated HTML includes a title with the date and correctly iterates through the story data.
- AC4: For each story, the HTML displays the linked title, HN link, and conditionally displays the article and discussion summaries with headings.
- AC5: Basic separators and margins are used for readability. The HTML is simple and likely to render reasonably in most email clients.
---
### Story 5.3: Implement Nodemailer Email Sender
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a module to send the generated HTML email using Nodemailer, configured with credentials stored securely in the environment file.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Add Nodemailer dependencies: `npm install nodemailer @types/nodemailer --save-prod`.
- Add required configuration variables to `.env.example` (and local `.env`): `EMAIL_HOST`, `EMAIL_PORT` (e.g., 587), `EMAIL_SECURE` (e.g., `false` for STARTTLS on 587, `true` for 465), `EMAIL_USER`, `EMAIL_PASS`, `EMAIL_FROM` (e.g., `"Your Name <you@example.com>"`), `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS` (comma-separated list).
- Create a new module: `src/email/emailSender.ts`.
- Implement an async function `sendDigestEmail(subject: string, htmlContent: string): Promise<boolean>`.
- Inside the function:
- Load the `EMAIL_*` variables from the config module.
- Create a Nodemailer transporter using `nodemailer.createTransport` with the loaded config (host, port, secure flag, auth: { user, pass }).
- Verify transporter configuration using `transporter.verify()` (optional but recommended). Log verification success/failure.
- Parse the `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS` string into an array or comma-separated string suitable for the `to` field.
- Define the `mailOptions`: `{ from: EMAIL_FROM, to: parsedRecipients, subject: subject, html: htmlContent }`.
- Call `await transporter.sendMail(mailOptions)`.
- If `sendMail` succeeds, log the success message including the `messageId` from the result. Return `true`.
- If `sendMail` fails (throws error), log the error using the logger. Return `false`.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: `nodemailer` and `@types/nodemailer` dependencies are added.
- AC2: `EMAIL_*` variables are defined in `.env.example` and loaded from config.
- AC3: `emailSender.ts` module exists and exports `sendDigestEmail`.
- AC4: `sendDigestEmail` correctly creates a Nodemailer transporter using configuration from `.env`. Transporter verification is attempted (optional AC).
- AC5: The `to` field is correctly populated based on `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS`.
- AC6: `transporter.sendMail` is called with correct `from`, `to`, `subject`, and `html` options.
- AC7: Email sending success (including message ID) or failure is logged clearly.
- AC8: The function returns `true` on successful sending, `false` otherwise.
---
### Story 5.4: Integrate Email Assembly and Sending into Main Workflow
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want the main application workflow (`src/index.ts`) to orchestrate the final steps: assembling digest data, rendering the HTML, and triggering the email send after all previous stages are complete.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts`.
- Import `assembleDigestData`, `renderDigestHtml`, `sendDigestEmail`.
- Execute these steps *after* the main loop (where stories are fetched, scraped, summarized, and persisted) completes:
- Log "Starting final digest assembly and email dispatch...".
- Determine the path to the current date-stamped output directory.
- Call `const digestData = await assembleDigestData(dateDirPath)`.
- Check if `digestData` array is not empty.
- If yes:
- Get the current date string (e.g., 'YYYY-MM-DD').
- `const htmlContent = renderDigestHtml(digestData, currentDate)`.
- `const subject = \`BMad Hacker Daily Digest - ${currentDate}\``.
- `const emailSent = await sendDigestEmail(subject, htmlContent)`.
- Log the final outcome based on `emailSent` ("Digest email sent successfully." or "Failed to send digest email.").
- If no (`digestData` is empty or assembly failed):
- Log an error: "Failed to assemble digest data or no data found. Skipping email."
- Log "BMad Hacker Daily Digest process finished."
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes all stages (Epics 1-4) and then proceeds to email assembly and sending.
- AC2: `assembleDigestData` is called correctly with the output directory path after other processing is done.
- AC3: If data is assembled, `renderDigestHtml` and `sendDigestEmail` are called with the correct data, subject, and HTML.
- AC4: The final success or failure of the email sending step is logged.
- AC5: If `assembleDigestData` returns no data, email sending is skipped, and an appropriate message is logged.
- AC6: The application logs a final completion message.
---
### Story 5.5: Implement Stage Testing Utility for Emailing
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate script/command to test the email assembly, rendering, and sending logic using persisted local data, including a crucial `--dry-run` option to prevent accidental email sending during tests.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Add `yargs` dependency for argument parsing: `npm install yargs @types/yargs --save-dev`.
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/send_digest.ts`.
- Import necessary modules: `fs`, `path`, `logger`, `config`, `assembleDigestData`, `renderDigestHtml`, `sendDigestEmail`, `yargs`.
- Use `yargs` to parse command-line arguments, specifically looking for a `--dry-run` boolean flag (defaulting to `false`). Allow an optional argument for specifying the date-stamped directory, otherwise default to current date.
- The script should:
- Initialize logger, load config.
- Determine the target date-stamped directory path (from arg or default). Log the target directory.
- Call `await assembleDigestData(dateDirPath)`.
- If data is assembled and not empty:
- Determine the date string for the subject/title.
- Call `renderDigestHtml(digestData, dateString)` to get HTML.
- Construct the subject string.
- Check the `dryRun` flag:
- If `true`: Log "DRY RUN enabled. Skipping actual email send.". Log the subject. Save the `htmlContent` to a file in the target directory (e.g., `_digest_preview.html`). Log that the preview file was saved.
- If `false`: Log "Live run: Attempting to send email...". Call `await sendDigestEmail(subject, htmlContent)`. Log success/failure based on the return value.
- If data assembly fails or is empty, log the error.
- Add script to `package.json`: `"stage:email": "ts-node src/stages/send_digest.ts --"`. The `--` allows passing arguments like `--dry-run`.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The file `src/stages/send_digest.ts` exists. `yargs` dependency is added.
- AC2: The script `stage:email` is defined in `package.json` allowing arguments.
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:email -- --dry-run` reads local data, renders HTML, logs the intent, saves `_digest_preview.html` locally, and does *not* call `sendDigestEmail`.
- AC4: Running `npm run stage:email` (without `--dry-run`) reads local data, renders HTML, and *does* call `sendDigestEmail`, logging the outcome.
- AC5: The script correctly identifies and acts upon the `--dry-run` flag.
- AC6: Logs clearly distinguish between dry runs and live runs and report success/failure.
- AC7: The script operates using only local files and the email configuration/service; it does not invoke prior pipeline stages (Algolia, scraping, Ollama).

summarizedAt?: string; // ISO 8601 timestamp when summaries were generated [Added in Epic 4]
}
```
### `DigestData`
- **Description:** Represents the consolidated data needed for a single story when assembling the final email digest. Created by reading persisted files.
- **Schema / Interface Definition (`src/types/email.ts`):**
```typescript
export interface DigestData {
storyId: string;
title: string;
hnUrl: string;
articleUrl: string | null;
articleSummary: string | null;
discussionSummary: string | null;
}
```
## 2. API Payload Schemas
These describe the relevant parts of request/response payloads for external APIs.
### Algolia HN API - Story Response Subset
- **Description:** Relevant fields extracted from the Algolia HN Search API response for front-page stories.
- **Schema (Conceptual JSON):**
```json
{
"hits": [
{
"objectID": "string", // Used as storyId
"title": "string",
"url": "string | null", // Used as articleUrl
"points": "number",
"num_comments": "number"
// ... other fields ignored
}
// ... more hits (stories)
]
// ... other top-level fields ignored
}
```
### Algolia HN API - Comment Response Subset
- **Description:** Relevant fields extracted from the Algolia HN Search API response for comments associated with a story.
- **Schema (Conceptual JSON):**
```json
{
"hits": [
{
"objectID": "string", // Used as commentId
"comment_text": "string | null",
"author": "string | null",
"created_at": "string" // ISO 8601 format
// ... other fields ignored
}
// ... more hits (comments)
]
// ... other top-level fields ignored
}
```
### Ollama `/api/generate` Request
- **Description:** Payload sent to the local Ollama instance to generate a summary.
- **Schema (`src/types/ollama.ts` or inline):**
```typescript
export interface OllamaGenerateRequest {
model: string; // e.g., "llama3" (from config)
prompt: string; // The full prompt including context
stream: false; // Required to be false for single response
// system?: string; // Optional system prompt (if used)
// options?: Record<string, any>; // Optional generation parameters
}
```
### Ollama `/api/generate` Response
- **Description:** Relevant fields expected from the Ollama API response when `stream: false`.
- **Schema (`src/types/ollama.ts` or inline):**
```typescript
export interface OllamaGenerateResponse {
model: string;
created_at: string; // ISO 8601 timestamp
response: string; // The generated summary text
done: boolean; // Should be true if stream=false and generation succeeded
// Optional fields detailing context, timings, etc. are ignored for MVP
// total_duration?: number;

# Demonstration of the Full BMad Workflow Agent Gem Usage
**Welcome to the complete end-to-end walkthrough of the BMad Method V2!** This demonstration showcases the power of AI-assisted software development using a phased agent approach. You'll see how each specialized agent (BA, PM, Architect, PO/SM) contributes to the project lifecycle - from initial concept to implementation-ready plans.
Each section includes links to **full Gemini interaction transcripts**, allowing you to witness the remarkable collaborative process between human and AI. The demo folder contains all output artifacts that flow between agents, creating a cohesive development pipeline.
What makes this V2 methodology exceptional is how the agents work in **interactive phases**, pausing at key decision points for your input rather than dumping massive documents at once. This creates a truly collaborative experience where you shape the outcome while the AI handles the heavy lifting.
Follow along from concept to code-ready project plan and see how this workflow transforms software development!
## BA Brainstorming
The following link shows the full chat thread with the BA demonstrating many features of this amazing agent. I started out not even knowing what to build, and it helped me ideate with the goal of something interesting for tutorial purposes, refine it, do some deep research (in thinking mode, I did not switch models), gave some great alternative details and ideas, prompted me section by section eventually to produce the brief. It worked amazingly well. You can read the full transcript and output here:
https://gemini.google.com/share/fec063449737
## PM Brainstorming (Oops it was not the PM LOL)
I took the final output md brief with prompt for the PM at the end of the last chat and created a google doc to make it easier to share with the PM (I could have probably just pasted it into the new chat, but it's easier if I want to start over). In Google Docs it's so easy to just create a new doc, right click and select 'Paste from Markdown', then click in the title and it will automatically name and save it with the title of the document. I then started a chat with the 2-PM Gem, also in Gemini 2.5 Pro thinking mode by attaching the Google doc and telling it to reference the prompt. This is the transcript. I realized that I accidentally had pasted the BA prompt also into the PM prompt, so this actually ended up producing a pretty nicely refined brief 2.0 instead LOL
https://g.co/gemini/share/3e09f04138f2
So I took that output file and put it into the actual BA again to produce a new version with prompt as seen in [this file](final-brief-with-pm-prompt.txt) ([md version](final-brief-with-pm-prompt.md)).
## PM Brainstorming Take 2
I will be going forward with the rest of the process not use Google Docs even though it's preferred and instead attach txt attachments of previous phase documents, this is required or else the link will be un-sharable.
Of note here is how I am not passive in this process and you should not be either - I looked at its proposed epics in its first PRD draft after answering the initial questions and spotting something really dumb, it had a final epic for doing file output and logging all the way at the end - when really this should be happening incrementally with each epic. The Architect or PO I hope would have caught this later and the PM might also if I let it get to the checklist phase, but if you can work with it you will have quicker results and better outcomes.
Also notice, since we came to the PM with the amazing brief + prompt embedded in it - it only had like 1 question before producing the first draft - amazing!!!
The PM did a great job of asking the right questions, and producing the [Draft PRD](prd.txt) ([md version](prd.md)), and each epic, [1](epic1.txt) ([md version](epic1.md)), [2](epic2.txt) ([md version](epic2.md)), [3](epic3.txt) ([md version](epic3.md)), [4](epic4.txt) ([md version](epic4.md)), [5](epic5.txt) ([md version](epic5.md)).
The beauty of these new V2 Agents is they pause for you to answer questions or review the document generation section by section - this is so much better than receiving a massive document dump all at once and trying to take it all in. in between each piece you can ask questions or ask for changes - so easy - so powerful!
After the drafts were done, it then ran the checklist - which is the other big game changer feature of the V2 BMAD Method. Waiting for the output final decision from the checklist run can be exciting haha!
Getting that final PRD & EPIC VALIDATION SUMMARY and seeing it all passing is a great feeling.
[Here is the full chat summary](https://g.co/gemini/share/abbdff18316b).
## Architect (Terrible Architect - already fired and replaced in take 2)
I gave the architect the drafted PRD and epics. I call them all still drafts because the architect or PO could still have some findings or updates - but hopefully not for this very simple project.
I started off the fun with the architect by saying 'the prompt to respond to is in the PRD at the end in a section called 'Initial Architect Prompt' and we are in architecture creation mode - all PRD and epics planned by the PM are attached'
NOTE - The architect just plows through and produces everything at once and runs the checklist - need to improve the gem and agent to be more workflow focused in a future update! Here is the [initial crap it produced](botched-architecture.md) - don't worry I fixed it, it's much better in take 2!
There is one thing that is a pain with both Gemini and ChatGPT - output of markdown with internal markdown or mermaid sections screws up the output formatting where it thinks the start of inner markdown is the end to its total output block - this is because the reality is everything you are seeing in response from the LLM is already markdown, just being rendered by the UI! So the fix is simple - I told it "Since you already default respond in markdown - can you not use markdown blocks and just give the document as standard chat output" - this worked perfect, and nested markdown was properly still wrapped!
I updated the agent at this point to fix this output formatting for all gems and adjusted the architect to progress document by document prompting in between to get clarifications, suggest tradeoffs or what it put in place, etc., and then confirm with me if I like all the draft docs we got 1 by 1 and then confirm I am ready for it to run the checklist assessment. Improved usage of this is shown in the next section Architect Take 2 next.
If you want to see my annoying chat with this lame architect gem that is now much better - [here you go](https://g.co/gemini/share/0a029a45d70b).
{I corrected the interaction model and added YOLO mode to the architect, and tried a fresh start with the improved gem in take 2.}
## Architect Take 2 (Our amazing new architect)
Same initial prompt as before but with the new and improved architect! I submitted that first prompt again and waited in anticipation to see if it would go insane again.
So far success - it confirmed it was not to go all YOLO on me!
Our new architect is SO much better, and also fun '(Pirate voice) Aye, yargs be a fine choice, matey!' - firing the previous architect was a great decision!
It gave us our [tech stack](tech-stack.txt) ([md version](tech-stack.md)) - the tech-stack looks great, it did not produce wishy-washy ambiguous selections like the previous architect would!
I did mention we should call out the specific decisions to not use axios and dotenv so the LLM would not try to use it later. Also I suggested adding Winston and it helped me know it had a better simpler idea for MVP for file logging! Such a great helper now! I really hope I never see that old V1 architect again, I don't think he was at all qualified to even mop the floors.
When I got the [project structure document](project-structure.txt) ([md version](project-structure.md)), I was blown away - you will see in the chat transcript how it was formatted - I was able to copy the whole response put it in an md file and no more issues with sub sections, just removed the text basically saying here is your file! Once confirmed it was md, I changed it to txt for pass off later potentially to the PO.
Here are the remaining docs it did with me one at a time before running the checklist:
- [Architecture](architecture.txt) ([md version](architecture.md)) - the 'Core Workflow / Sequence Diagram (Main Pipeline)' diagram was impressive - one other diagram had a mermaid bugs - I updated the agent and fixed the bugs, these should hopefully not occur again - it was the most common LLM mermaid bug I have gotten across models
- [Data Models](data-models.txt) ([md version](data-models.md)) - another complex file easy to just get the end of message ... copy the response and paste into markdown, perfect result!
- [API Reference](api-reference.txt) ([md version](api-reference.md))
- [Env Vars](environment-vars.txt) ([md version](environment-vars.md))
- [Coding Standards](coding-standards.txt) ([md version](coding-standards.md))
- [Testing Strategy](testing-strategy.txt) ([md version](testing-strategy.md)) - It really nailed this one, even having me ensure it captured by concerns about testing each epic with scripts incrementally - which I did confirm was awesome!
It then confirmed it was done with all the artifacts and ready to assess with its checklist! Here are the results: 5 minor points and great questions - some I answered, one I didn't understand and it explained it to me in detail!
I made the updates, and it also proposed a new file for this project specifically! [Prompts](prompts.txt) ([md version](prompts.md)) - I did have it take the output from that to ensure its referenced where needed including epic 4 and coding standards, it helped me regenerate epic 4 with the changes.
We were done, I told it great job, the output it gave me next was perfect showing the complete function of the multiphased agent! Here is a snippet!
```text
Next Steps:
The project can now move into the implementation phase, using these architecture documents as the blueprint. Development agents can be tasked with implementing the stories within each Epic, following the defined structure, standards, and testing strategy.
As the 3-Architect, I can switch to Mode 3: Master Architect Advisory if you need further assistance during development, such as:
Explaining architectural concepts.
Advising on implementation challenges.
Evaluating potential changes or enhancements.
Helping manage technical debt.
```
Here is the [full massive architecture discussion link](https://g.co/gemini/share/4fedc292e068)!
## PO-SM
This mode is WILD in Gemini 2.5 Pro with its massive 1 million context window - holy crap! It was able to analyze every artifact together - since there is a 10 document attach limit I created a [Combined Artifacts](combined-artifacts-for-posm.txt) ([md version](combined-artifacts-for-posm.md)) which adds all 5 epic files in it.
There was a ton of output running through the checklist - but the amazing part is it considered it all and output this (in better formatted markdown I didn't capture here well). TL;DR of the following - it caught two great finds! It called out that story 1.2 still calls for dotenv which we are not going to use after working with the architect, and also it is looking for a prompts.md that is called out - but I forgot to attach it, so it caught that! So I corrected story 1.2 and we are ready to proceed with development!

Recommendations
While not critical, Story 1.2 could explicitly state npm install {dotenv library} rather than just referencing the library name, for absolute clarity, although the plan specifies native Node.js .env support which negates the need for a library [111, 549]. Correction: The plan correctly states native support is used and no external package is needed [549], removing this minor concern. The reference to installing dotenv in Story 1.2 [111-112] seems contradictory to the environment-vars.txt [549] and tech-stack.txt [867] which state native support is used and dotenv is not needed. This should be clarified/corrected in Story 1.2. Update: Reviewing Story 1.2 [111], it does explicitly require installing dotenv, which contradicts ENV [549], ARCH [72], TS [867], and PRD [752] (which implies native support via .env.example). This inconsistency needs resolution. Decision: Assuming ENV, ARCH, TS, PRD are correct and Story 1.2 requirement for dotenv package is an error. Will proceed assuming NO dotenv package required.
Consider adding a docs/prompts.md file explicitly, as referenced in ARCH [89] and E4 Story 4.2 [321], even if prompts are simple initially. Update: E4 Story 4.2 [321-325] does require creating docs/prompts.md and referencing it. This seems sufficient.
Final Decision
APPROVED: The plan is comprehensive, meticulously detailed across PRD, Architecture, Epics, and supporting documents. The sequencing is logical, dependencies are managed, risks acknowledged, and the scope aligns tightly with MVP goals. The technical constraints are respected, and the use of stage testing utilities significantly enhances testability and validation. The identified inconsistency regarding the dotenv package is noted but assumed resolved in favour of native Node.js support based on multiple other document references. The plan is ready for implementation.
Transitioning to SM Mode can proceed upon user confirmation or if auto-proceeding.

## PO-SM Story Generation
This is only for demonstration as I do not like to work this way, at this point I want to be into the project - but for fun and testing, I wanted to verify the gem can produce quality stories, potentially multiple at once in case someone were wanting to use this more like taskmaster.
The output looks decent, I still prefer doing this in the IDE with Sonnet 3.5/3.7 though 1 story at a time with the SM, then use the Dev. Mainly because it's still possible you might want to change something story to story - but this is just a preference, and this method of generating all the stories at once might work well for you - experiment and let me know what you find!
- [Story Drafts Epic 1](epic-1-stories-demo.md)
- [Story Drafts Epic 2](epic-2-stories-demo.md)
- [Story Drafts Epic 3](epic-3-stories-demo.md)
etc...
Here is the full [4-POSM chat record](https://g.co/gemini/share/9ab02d1baa18).
Ill post the link to the video and final project here if you want to see the final results of the app build - but I am beyond extatic at how well this planning workflow is now tuned with V2.
Thanks if you read this far.

# BMad Hacker Daily Digest Environment Variables
## Configuration Loading Mechanism
Environment variables for this project are managed using a standard `.env` file in the project root. The application leverages the native support for `.env` files built into Node.js (v20.6.0 and later) , meaning **no external `dotenv` package is required**.
Variables defined in the `.env` file are automatically loaded into `process.env` when the Node.js application starts. Accessing and potentially validating these variables should be centralized, ideally within the `src/utils/config.ts` module .
## Required Variables
The following table lists the environment variables used by the application. An `.env.example` file should be maintained in the repository with these variables set to placeholder or default values .
| Variable Name | Description | Example / Default Value | Required? | Sensitive? | Source |
| :------------------------------ | :---------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------- | :-------- | :--------- | :------------ |
| `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` | Filesystem path for storing output data artifacts | `./output` | Yes | No | Epic 1 |
| `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` | Maximum number of comments to fetch per HN story | `50` | Yes | No | PRD |
| `OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL` | Base URL for the local Ollama API instance | `http://localhost:11434` | Yes | No | Epic 4 |
| `OLLAMA_MODEL` | Name of the Ollama model to use for summarization | `llama3` | Yes | No | Epic 4 |
| `EMAIL_HOST` | SMTP server hostname for sending email | `smtp.example.com` | Yes | No | Epic 5 |
| `EMAIL_PORT` | SMTP server port | `587` | Yes | No | Epic 5 |
| `EMAIL_SECURE` | Use TLS/SSL (`true` for port 465, `false` for 587/STARTTLS) | `false` | Yes | No | Epic 5 |

| `SCRAPE_TIMEOUT_MS` | _Optional:_ Timeout in milliseconds for article scraping requests | `15000` (15s) | No | No | Good Practice |
| `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS` | _Optional:_ Timeout in milliseconds for Ollama API requests | `120000` (2min) | No | No | Good Practice |
| `LOG_LEVEL` | _Optional:_ Control log verbosity (e.g., debug, info) | `info` | No | No | Good Practice |

## Notes
- **Secrets Management:** Sensitive variables (`EMAIL_USER`, `EMAIL_PASS`) must **never** be committed to version control. The `.env` file should be included in `.gitignore` (as per boilerplate ).
- **`.env.example`:** Maintain an `.env.example` file in the repository mirroring the variables above, using placeholders or default values for documentation and local setup .
- **Validation:** It is recommended to implement validation logic in `src/utils/config.ts` to ensure required variables are present and potentially check their format on application startup .

Okay, transitioning to **SM Mode**.
I will now generate the stories for **Epic 1: Project Initialization & Core Setup**, as requested for demonstration purposes.
I will use the details from Epic 1 in `combined-artifacts-for-posm.txt`, the `story-template.txt`, and extract relevant technical context from the supporting documents (`architecture.txt`, `project-structure.txt`, `tech-stack.txt`, `environment-vars.txt`, `testing-strategy.txt`).
**Note:** As identified during PO Mode validation, Story 1.2 contained a requirement to install the `dotenv` package [111-112], which contradicts multiple other documents stating native Node.js support is used and the package is unnecessary (`ENV` [549], `ARCH` [72], `TS` [867], `PRD` [752]). The following story for 1.2 has been generated based on the **correction** that the `dotenv` package is **not required** and native Node.js functionality should be used.
Here is the report containing the generated stories for Epic 1:
---
## **Stories Report: Epic 1**
**File: ai/stories/1.1.story.md**
```markdown
# Story 1.1: Initialize Project from Boilerplate
**Status:** Draft
## Goal & Context
**User Story:** As a developer, I want to set up the initial project structure using the `bmad-boilerplate`, so that I have the standard tooling (TS, Jest, ESLint, Prettier), configurations, and scripts in place. [96]
**Context:** This is the foundational story for the entire project. It establishes the core development environment, tooling, and standard scripts based on the `bmad-boilerplate` template, as required by the PRD [706, 713, 784] and Architecture [43]. All subsequent development relies on the successful completion of this setup.
## Detailed Requirements
- Copy or clone the contents of the `bmad-boilerplate` into the new project's root directory. [97]
- Initialize a git repository in the project root directory (if not already done by cloning). [98]
- Ensure the `.gitignore` file from the boilerplate is present. [99]
- Run `npm install` to download and install all `devDependencies` specified in the boilerplate's `package.json`. [100]
- Verify that the core boilerplate scripts (`lint`, `format`, `test`, `build`) execute without errors on the initial codebase. [101]
## Acceptance Criteria (ACs)
- AC1: The project directory contains the files and structure from `bmad-boilerplate`. [102]
- AC2: A `node_modules` directory exists and contains packages corresponding to `devDependencies`. [103]
- AC3: `npm run lint` command completes successfully without reporting any linting errors. [104]
- AC4: `npm run format` command completes successfully, potentially making formatting changes according to Prettier rules. [105] Running it a second time should result in no changes. [106]
- AC5: `npm run test` command executes Jest successfully (it may report "no tests found" which is acceptable at this stage). [107]
- AC6: `npm run build` command executes successfully, creating a `dist` directory containing compiled JavaScript output. [108]
- AC7: The `.gitignore` file exists and includes entries for `node_modules/`, `.env`, `dist/`, etc. as specified in the boilerplate. [109, 632]
## Technical Implementation Context

# Story 1.2: Setup Environment Configuration
**Status:** Draft
## Goal & Context
**User Story:** As a developer, I want to establish the environment configuration mechanism using `.env` files, so that secrets and settings (like output paths) can be managed outside of version control, following boilerplate conventions and utilizing native Node.js support. [110, 549]
**Context:** This story builds on the initialized project (Story 1.1). It sets up the critical mechanism for managing configuration parameters like API keys and file paths using standard `.env` files, which is essential for security and flexibility. It leverages Node.js's built-in `.env` file loading [549, 867], meaning **no external package installation is required**. This corrects the original requirement [111-112] based on `docs/environment-vars.md` [549] and `docs/tech-stack.md` [867].
## Detailed Requirements
- Verify the `.env.example` file exists (from boilerplate). [112]
- Add an initial configuration variable `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH=./output` to `.env.example`. [113]
- Create the `.env` file locally by copying `.env.example`. Populate `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` if needed (can keep default). [114]
- Implement a utility module (e.g., `src/utils/config.ts`) that reads environment variables **directly from `process.env`** (populated natively by Node.js from the `.env` file at startup). [115, 550]
- The utility should export the loaded configuration values (initially just `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH`). [116] It is recommended to include basic validation (e.g., checking if required variables are present). [634]
- Ensure the `.env` file is listed in `.gitignore` and is not committed. [117, 632]
## Acceptance Criteria (ACs)
- AC1: **(Removed)** The chosen `.env` library... is listed under `dependencies`. (Package not needed [549]).
- AC2: The `.env.example` file exists, is tracked by git, and contains the line `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH=./output`. [119]
- AC3: The `.env` file exists locally but is NOT tracked by git. [120]
- AC4: A configuration module (`src/utils/config.ts` or similar) exists and successfully reads the `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` value **from `process.env`** when the application starts. [121]
- AC5: The loaded `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` value is accessible within the application code via the config module. [122]
- AC6: The `.env` file is listed in the `.gitignore` file. [117]
## Technical Implementation Context
**Guidance:** Use the following details for implementation. Refer to the linked `docs/` files for broader context if needed.
- **Relevant Files:**
- Files to Create: `src/utils/config.ts`.
- Files to Modify: `.env.example`, `.gitignore` (verify inclusion of `.env`). Create local `.env`.
- _(Hint: See `docs/project-structure.md` [822] for utils location)._
- **Key Technologies:**
- Node.js 22.x (Native `.env` support >=20.6) [549, 851]. TypeScript [846].
- **No `dotenv` package required.** [549, 867]
- _(Hint: See `docs/tech-stack.md` [839-905] for full list)._
- **API Interactions / SDK Usage:**
- N/A for this story.
- **Data Structures:**
- Potentially an interface for the exported configuration object in `config.ts`.
- _(Hint: See `docs/data-models.md` [498-547] for key project data structures)._
- **Environment Variables:**
- Reads `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` from `process.env`. [116]
- Defines `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` in `.env.example`. [113]
- _(Hint: See `docs/environment-vars.md` [559] for this variable)._
- **Coding Standards Notes:**
- `config.ts` should export configuration values clearly.
- Consider adding validation logic in `config.ts` to check for the presence of required environment variables on startup. [634]
## Tasks / Subtasks
- [ ] Verify `bmad-boilerplate` provided `.env.example`.
- [ ] Add `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH=./output` to `.env.example`.
- [ ] Create `.env` file by copying `.env.example`.
- [ ] Verify `.env` is included in `.gitignore`.
- [ ] Create `src/utils/config.ts`.
- [ ] Implement logic in `config.ts` to read `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` directly from `process.env`.
- [ ] Export the loaded `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` value from `config.ts`.
- [ ] (Optional but Recommended) Add validation in `config.ts` to ensure `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` is defined in `process.env`.
## Testing Requirements
**Guidance:** Verify implementation against the ACs using the following tests.
- **Unit Tests:**
- Write unit tests for `src/utils/config.ts`. [915]
- Use `process.env` manipulation (e.g., temporarily setting `process.env.OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` within the test) to verify the module reads and exports the value correctly.
- Test validation logic (e.g., if it throws an error when a required variable is missing). [920]
- **Integration Tests:** N/A for this story. [921]
- **Manual/CLI Verification:**
- Check `.env.example` content (AC2).
- Verify `.env` exists locally but not in git status (AC3, AC6).
- Code inspection of `src/utils/config.ts` (AC4).
- Later stories (1.3, 1.4) will consume this module, verifying AC5 implicitly.
- _(Hint: See `docs/testing-strategy.md` [907-950] for the overall approach)._
## Story Wrap Up (Agent Populates After Execution)
- **Agent Model Used:** `<Agent Model Name/Version>`
- **Completion Notes:** {Implemented using native Node.js .env support, no external package installed. Added basic validation.}
- **Change Log:**
- Initial Draft (Corrected requirement to use native .env support instead of installing `dotenv` package).

# Story 1.3: Implement Basic CLI Entry Point & Execution
**Status:** Draft
## Goal & Context
**User Story:** As a developer, I want a basic `src/index.ts` entry point that can be executed via the boilerplate's `dev` and `start` scripts, providing a working foundation for the application logic. [123]
**Context:** This story builds upon the project setup (Story 1.1) and environment configuration (Story 1.2). It creates the main starting point (`src/index.ts`) for the CLI application. This file will be executed by the `npm run dev` (using `ts-node`) and `npm run start` (using compiled code) scripts provided by the boilerplate. It verifies that the basic execution flow and configuration loading are functional. [730, 755]
## Detailed Requirements
- Create the main application entry point file at `src/index.ts`. [124]
- Implement minimal code within `src/index.ts` to:
- Import the configuration loading mechanism (from Story 1.2, e.g., `import config from './utils/config';`). [125]
- Log a simple startup message to the console (e.g., "BMad Hacker Daily Digest - Starting Up..."). [126]
- (Optional) Log the loaded `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` from the imported config object to verify config loading. [127]
- Confirm execution using boilerplate scripts (`npm run dev`, `npm run build`, `npm run start`). [127]
## Acceptance Criteria (ACs)
- AC1: The `src/index.ts` file exists. [128]
- AC2: Running `npm run dev` executes `src/index.ts` via `ts-node` and logs the startup message to the console. [129]
- AC3: Running `npm run build` successfully compiles `src/index.ts` (and any imports like `config.ts`) into the `dist` directory. [130]
- AC4: Running `npm start` (after a successful build) executes the compiled code from `dist` and logs the startup message to the console. [131]
- AC5: (If implemented) The loaded `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` is logged to the console during execution via `npm run dev` or `npm run start`. [127]
## Technical Implementation Context
**Guidance:** Use the following details for implementation. Refer to the linked `docs/` files for broader context if needed.
- **Relevant Files:**
- Files to Create: `src/index.ts`.
- Files to Modify: None.
- _(Hint: See `docs/project-structure.md` [822] for entry point location)._
- **Key Technologies:**
- TypeScript [846], Node.js 22.x [851].
- Uses scripts from `package.json` (`dev`, `start`, `build`) defined in the boilerplate.
- _(Hint: See `docs/tech-stack.md` [839-905] for full list)._
- **API Interactions / SDK Usage:**
- N/A for this story.
- **Data Structures:**
- Imports configuration object from `src/utils/config.ts` (Story 1.2).
- _(Hint: See `docs/data-models.md` [498-547] for key project data structures)._
- **Environment Variables:**
- Implicitly uses variables loaded by `config.ts` if the optional logging step [127] is implemented.
- _(Hint: See `docs/environment-vars.md` [548-638] for all variables)._
- **Coding Standards Notes:**
- Use standard `import` statements.
- Use `console.log` initially for the startup message (Logger setup is in Story 1.4).
## Tasks / Subtasks
- [ ] Create the file `src/index.ts`.
- [ ] Add import statement for the configuration module (`src/utils/config.ts`).
- [ ] Add `console.log("BMad Hacker Daily Digest - Starting Up...");` (or similar).
- [ ] (Optional) Add `console.log(\`Output directory: \${config.OUTPUT_DIR_PATH}\`);`
- [ ] Run `npm run dev` and verify console output (AC2, AC5 optional).
- [ ] Run `npm run build` and verify successful compilation to `dist/` (AC3).
- [ ] Run `npm start` and verify console output from compiled code (AC4, AC5 optional).
## Testing Requirements
**Guidance:** Verify implementation against the ACs using the following tests.
- **Unit Tests:** Low value for this specific story, as it's primarily wiring and execution setup. Testing `config.ts` was covered in Story 1.2. [915]
- **Integration Tests:** N/A for this story. [921]
- **Manual/CLI Verification:**
- Verify `src/index.ts` exists (AC1).
- Run `npm run dev`, check console output (AC2, AC5 opt).
- Run `npm run build`, check `dist/` exists (AC3).
- Run `npm start`, check console output (AC4, AC5 opt).
- _(Hint: See `docs/testing-strategy.md` [907-950] for the overall approach)._

# Story 1.4: Setup Basic Logging and Output Directory
**Status:** Draft
## Goal & Context
**User Story:** As a developer, I want a basic console logging mechanism and the dynamic creation of a date-stamped output directory, so that the application can provide execution feedback and prepare for storing data artifacts in subsequent epics. [132]
**Context:** This story refines the basic execution setup from Story 1.3. It introduces a simple, reusable logger utility (`src/utils/logger.ts`) for standardized console output [871] and implements the logic to create the necessary date-stamped output directory (`./output/YYYY-MM-DD/`) based on the `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` configured in Story 1.2. This directory is crucial for persisting intermediate data in later epics (Epics 2, 3, 4). [68, 538, 734, 788]
## Detailed Requirements
- Implement a simple, reusable logging utility module (e.g., `src/utils/logger.ts`). [133] Initially, it can wrap `console.log`, `console.warn`, `console.error`. Provide simple functions like `logInfo`, `logWarn`, `logError`. [134]
- Refactor `src/index.ts` to use this `logger` for its startup message(s) instead of `console.log`. [134]
- In `src/index.ts` (or a setup function called by it):
- Retrieve the `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` from the configuration (imported from `src/utils/config.ts` - Story 1.2). [135]
- Determine the current date in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format (e.g., using `date-fns` library is recommended [878], needs installation `npm install date-fns --save-prod`). [136]
- Construct the full path for the date-stamped subdirectory (e.g., `${OUTPUT_DIR_PATH}/${formattedDate}`). [137]
- Check if the base output directory exists; if not, create it. [138]
- Check if the date-stamped subdirectory exists; if not, create it recursively. [139] Use Node.js `fs` module (e.g., `fs.mkdirSync(path, { recursive: true })`). Need to import `fs`. [140]
- Log (using the new logger utility) the full path of the output directory being used for the current run (e.g., "Output directory for this run: ./output/2025-05-04"). [141]
- The application should exit gracefully after performing these setup steps (for now). [147]
## Acceptance Criteria (ACs)
- AC1: A logger utility module (`src/utils/logger.ts` or similar) exists and is used for console output in `src/index.ts`. [142]
- AC2: Running `npm run dev` or `npm start` logs the startup message via the logger. [143]
- AC3: Running the application creates the base output directory (e.g., `./output` defined in `.env`) if it doesn't already exist. [144]
- AC4: Running the application creates a date-stamped subdirectory (e.g., `./output/2025-05-04`, based on current date) within the base output directory if it doesn't already exist. [145]
- AC5: The application logs a message via the logger indicating the full path to the date-stamped output directory created/used for the current execution. [146]
- AC6: The application exits gracefully after performing these setup steps (for now). [147]
- AC7: `date-fns` library is added as a production dependency.
## Technical Implementation Context
**Guidance:** Use the following details for implementation. Refer to the linked `docs/` files for broader context if needed.
- **Relevant Files:**
- Files to Create: `src/utils/logger.ts`, `src/utils/dateUtils.ts` (recommended for date formatting logic).
- Files to Modify: `src/index.ts`, `package.json` (add `date-fns`), `package-lock.json`.
- _(Hint: See `docs/project-structure.md` [822] for utils location)._
- **Key Technologies:**
- TypeScript [846], Node.js 22.x [851], `fs` module (native) [140], `path` module (native, for joining paths).
- `date-fns` library [876] for date formatting (needs `npm install date-fns --save-prod`).
- _(Hint: See `docs/tech-stack.md` [839-905] for full list)._
- **API Interactions / SDK Usage:**
- Node.js `fs.mkdirSync`. [140]
- **Data Structures:**
- N/A specific to this story, uses config from 1.2.
- _(Hint: See `docs/data-models.md` [498-547] for key project data structures)._
- **Environment Variables:**
- Uses `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` loaded via `config.ts`. [135]
- _(Hint: See `docs/environment-vars.md` [559] for this variable)._
- **Coding Standards Notes:**
- Logger should provide simple info/warn/error functions. [134]
- Use `path.join` to construct file paths reliably.
- Handle potential errors during directory creation (e.g., permissions) using try/catch, logging errors via the new logger.
## Tasks / Subtasks
- [ ] Install `date-fns`: `npm install date-fns --save-prod`.
- [ ] Create `src/utils/logger.ts` wrapping `console` methods (e.g., `logInfo`, `logWarn`, `logError`).
- [ ] Create `src/utils/dateUtils.ts` (optional but recommended) with a function to get current date as 'YYYY-MM-DD' using `date-fns`.
- [ ] Refactor `src/index.ts` to import and use the `logger` instead of `console.log`.
- [ ] In `src/index.ts`, import `fs` and `path`.
- [ ] In `src/index.ts`, import and use the date formatting function.
- [ ] In `src/index.ts`, retrieve `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` from config.
- [ ] In `src/index.ts`, construct the full date-stamped directory path using `path.join`.
- [ ] In `src/index.ts`, add logic using `fs.mkdirSync` (with `{ recursive: true }`) inside a try/catch block to create the directory. Log errors using the logger.
- [ ] In `src/index.ts`, log the full path of the created/used directory using the logger.
- [ ] Ensure the script completes and exits after these steps.
## Testing Requirements
**Guidance:** Verify implementation against the ACs using the following tests.
- **Unit Tests:**
- Test `src/utils/logger.ts` functions (can spy on `console` methods). [915]
- Test `src/utils/dateUtils.ts` function for correct date formatting.
- Testing `fs` operations in unit tests can be complex; consider focusing on integration or manual verification for directory creation. Mocking `fs` is an option but might be brittle. [918]
- **Integration Tests:**
- Could write a test that runs the core logic of `src/index.ts` (directory creation part) and uses `mock-fs` or actual file system checks (with cleanup) to verify directory creation. [921, 924]
- **Manual/CLI Verification:**
- Run `npm run dev` or `npm start`.
- Check console output uses the logger format (AC1, AC2).
- Verify the base output directory (e.g., `./output`) is created if it didn't exist (AC3).
- Verify the date-stamped subdirectory (e.g., `./output/2025-05-04`) is created (AC4). Use current date. Delete directories before re-running to confirm creation.
- Check console log for the message confirming the output directory path (AC5).
- Confirm the process exits cleanly (AC6).
- Check `package.json` for `date-fns` dependency (AC7).
- _(Hint: See `docs/testing-strategy.md` [907-950] for the overall approach)._

# Story 2.1: Implement Algolia HN API Client
**Status:** Draft
## Goal & Context
**User Story:** As a developer, I want a dedicated client module to interact with the Algolia Hacker News Search API, so that fetching stories and comments is encapsulated, reusable, and uses the required native `Workspace` API. [155]
**Context:** This story creates the primary interface for retrieving data from the external Hacker News API provided by Algolia. It encapsulates the specific API calls (`GET /search` for stories and comments) and data extraction logic into a reusable module (`src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts`). This client will be used by the main pipeline (Story 2.2) and the stage testing utility (Story 2.4). It builds upon the logger created in Epic 1 (Story 1.4). [54, 60, 62, 77]
## Detailed Requirements
- Create a new module: `src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts`. [156]
- Implement an async function `WorkspaceTopStories` within the client: [157]
- Use native `Workspace` [749] to call the Algolia HN Search API endpoint for front-page stories (`http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=front_page&hitsPerPage=10`). [4, 6, 7, 157] Adjust `hitsPerPage` if needed to ensure 10 stories.
- Parse the JSON response. [158]
- Extract required metadata for each story: `objectID` (use as `storyId`), `title`, `url` (use as `articleUrl`), `points`, `num_comments`. [159, 522] Handle potential missing `url` field gracefully (log warning using logger from Story 1.4, treat as null). [160]
- Construct the `hnUrl` for each story (e.g., `https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id={storyId}`). [161]
- Return an array of structured story objects (define a `Story` type, potentially in `src/types/hn.ts`). [162, 506-511]
- Implement a separate async function `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` within the client: [163]
- Accept `storyId` (string) and `maxComments` limit (number) as arguments. [163]
- Use native `Workspace` to call the Algolia HN Search API endpoint for comments of a specific story (`http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=comment,story_{storyId}&hitsPerPage={maxComments}`). [12, 13, 14, 164]
- Parse the JSON response. [165]
- Extract required comment data: `objectID` (use as `commentId`), `comment_text`, `author`, `created_at`. [165, 524]
- Filter out comments where `comment_text` is null or empty. Ensure only up to `maxComments` are returned. [166]
- Return an array of structured comment objects (define a `Comment` type, potentially in `src/types/hn.ts`). [167, 500-505]
- Implement basic error handling using `try...catch` around `Workspace` calls and check `response.ok` status. [168] Log errors using the logger utility from Epic 1 (Story 1.4). [169]
- Define TypeScript interfaces/types for the expected structures of API responses (subset needed) and the data returned by the client functions (`Story`, `Comment`). Place these in `src/types/hn.ts`. [169, 821]
## Acceptance Criteria (ACs)
- AC1: The module `src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts` exists and exports `WorkspaceTopStories` and `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` functions. [170]
- AC2: Calling `WorkspaceTopStories` makes a network request to the correct Algolia endpoint (`search?tags=front_page&hitsPerPage=10`) and returns a promise resolving to an array of 10 `Story` objects containing the specified metadata (`storyId`, `title`, `articleUrl`, `hnUrl`, `points`, `num_comments`). [171]
- AC3: Calling `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` with a valid `storyId` and `maxComments` limit makes a network request to the correct Algolia endpoint (`search?tags=comment,story_{storyId}&hitsPerPage={maxComments}`) and returns a promise resolving to an array of `Comment` objects (up to `maxComments`), filtering out empty ones. [172]
- AC4: Both functions use the native `Workspace` API internally. [173]
- AC5: Network errors or non-successful API responses (e.g., status 4xx, 5xx) are caught and logged using the logger from Story 1.4. [174] Functions should likely return an empty array or throw a specific error in failure cases for the caller to handle.
- AC6: Relevant TypeScript types (`Story`, `Comment`) are defined in `src/types/hn.ts` and used within the client module. [175]
## Technical Implementation Context
**Guidance:** Use the following details for implementation. Refer to the linked `docs/` files for broader context if needed.
- **Relevant Files:**
- Files to Create: `src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts`, `src/types/hn.ts`.
- Files to Modify: Potentially `src/types/index.ts` if using a barrel file.
- _(Hint: See `docs/project-structure.md` [817, 821] for location)._
- **Key Technologies:**
- TypeScript [846], Node.js 22.x [851], Native `Workspace` API [863].
- Uses `logger` utility from Epic 1 (Story 1.4).
- _(Hint: See `docs/tech-stack.md` [839-905] for full list)._
- **API Interactions / SDK Usage:**
- Algolia HN Search API `GET /search` endpoint. [2]
- Base URL: `http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1` [3]
- Parameters: `tags=front_page`, `hitsPerPage=10` (for stories) [6, 7]; `tags=comment,story_{storyId}`, `hitsPerPage={maxComments}` (for comments) [13, 14].
- Check `response.ok` and parse JSON response (`response.json()`). [168, 158, 165]
- Handle potential network errors with `try...catch`. [168]
- No authentication required. [3]
- _(Hint: See `docs/api-reference.md` [2-21] for details)._
- **Data Structures:**
- Define `Comment` interface: `{ commentId: string, commentText: string | null, author: string | null, createdAt: string }`. [501-505]
- Define `Story` interface (initial fields): `{ storyId: string, title: string, articleUrl: string | null, hnUrl: string, points?: number, numComments?: number }`. [507-511]
- (These types will be augmented in later stories [512-517]).
- Reference Algolia response subset schemas in `docs/data-models.md` [521-525].
- _(Hint: See `docs/data-models.md` for full details)._
- **Environment Variables:**
- No direct environment variables needed for this client itself (uses hardcoded base URL, fetches comment limit via argument).
- _(Hint: See `docs/environment-vars.md` [548-638] for all variables)._
- **Coding Standards Notes:**
- Use `async/await` for `Workspace` calls.
- Use logger for errors and significant events (e.g., warning if `url` is missing). [160]
- Export types and functions clearly.

# Story 2.2: Integrate HN Data Fetching into Main Workflow
**Status:** Draft
## Goal & Context
**User Story:** As a developer, I want to integrate the HN data fetching logic into the main application workflow (`src/index.ts`), so that running the app retrieves the top 10 stories and their comments after completing the setup from Epic 1. [176]
**Context:** This story connects the HN API client created in Story 2.1 to the main application entry point (`src/index.ts`) established in Epic 1 (Story 1.3). It modifies the main execution flow to call the client functions (`WorkspaceTopStories`, `WorkspaceCommentsForStory`) after the initial setup (logger, config, output directory). It uses the `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` configuration value loaded in Story 1.2. The fetched data (stories and their associated comments) is held in memory at the end of this stage. [46, 77]
## Detailed Requirements
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts` (or a main async function called by it, potentially moving logic to `src/core/pipeline.ts` as suggested by `ARCH` [46, 53] and `PS` [818]). **Recommendation:** Create `src/core/pipeline.ts` and a `runPipeline` async function, then call this function from `src/index.ts`.
- Import the `algoliaHNClient` functions (`WorkspaceTopStories`, `WorkspaceCommentsForStory`) from Story 2.1. [177]
- Import the configuration module (`src/utils/config.ts`) to access `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`. [177, 563] Also import the logger.
- In the main pipeline function, after the Epic 1 setup (config load, logger init, output dir creation):
- Call `await fetchTopStories()`. [178]
- Log the number of stories fetched (e.g., "Fetched X stories."). [179] Use the logger from Story 1.4.
- Retrieve the `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` value from the config module. Ensure it's parsed as a number. Provide a default if necessary (e.g., 50, matching `ENV` [564]).
- Iterate through the array of fetched `Story` objects. [179]
- For each `Story`:
- Log progress (e.g., "Fetching up to Y comments for story {storyId}..."). [182]
- Call `await fetchCommentsForStory()`, passing the `story.storyId` and the configured `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` value. [180]
- Store the fetched comments (the returned `Comment[]`) within the corresponding `Story` object in memory (e.g., add a `comments: Comment[]` property to the `Story` type/object). [181] Augment the `Story` type definition in `src/types/hn.ts`. [512]
- Ensure errors from the client functions are handled appropriately (e.g., log error and potentially skip comment fetching for that story).
## Acceptance Criteria (ACs)
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes Epic 1 setup steps followed by fetching stories and then comments for each story using the `algoliaHNClient`. [183]
- AC2: Logs (via logger) clearly show the start and successful completion of fetching stories, and the start of fetching comments for each of the 10 stories. [184]
- AC3: The configured `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` value is read from config, parsed as a number, and used in the calls to `WorkspaceCommentsForStory`. [185]
- AC4: After successful execution (before persistence in Story 2.3), `Story` objects held in memory contain a `comments` property populated with an array of fetched `Comment` objects. [186] (Verification via debugger or temporary logging).
- AC5: The `Story` type definition in `src/types/hn.ts` is updated to include the `comments: Comment[]` field. [512]
- AC6: (If implemented) Core logic is moved to `src/core/pipeline.ts` and called from `src/index.ts`. [818]
## Technical Implementation Context
**Guidance:** Use the following details for implementation. Refer to the linked `docs/` files for broader context if needed.
- **Relevant Files:**
- Files to Create: `src/core/pipeline.ts` (recommended).
- Files to Modify: `src/index.ts`, `src/types/hn.ts`.
- _(Hint: See `docs/project-structure.md` [818, 821, 822])._
- **Key Technologies:**
- TypeScript [846], Node.js 22.x [851].
- Uses `algoliaHNClient` (Story 2.1), `config` (Story 1.2), `logger` (Story 1.4).
- _(Hint: See `docs/tech-stack.md` [839-905])._
- **API Interactions / SDK Usage:**
- Calls internal `algoliaHNClient.fetchTopStories()` and `algoliaHNClient.fetchCommentsForStory()`.
- **Data Structures:**
- Augment `Story` interface in `src/types/hn.ts` to include `comments: Comment[]`. [512]
- Manipulates arrays of `Story` and `Comment` objects in memory.
- _(Hint: See `docs/data-models.md` [500-517])._
- **Environment Variables:**
- Reads `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` via `config.ts`. [177, 563]
- _(Hint: See `docs/environment-vars.md` [548-638])._
- **Coding Standards Notes:**
- Use `async/await` for calling client functions.
- Structure fetching logic cleanly (e.g., within a loop).
- Use the logger for progress and error reporting. [182, 184]
- Consider putting the main loop logic inside the `runPipeline` function in `src/core/pipeline.ts`.
## Tasks / Subtasks
- [ ] (Recommended) Create `src/core/pipeline.ts` and define an async `runPipeline` function.
- [ ] Modify `src/index.ts` to import and call `runPipeline`. Move existing setup logic (logger init, config load, dir creation) into `runPipeline` or ensure it runs before it.
- [ ] In `pipeline.ts` (or `index.ts`), import `WorkspaceTopStories`, `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` from `algoliaHNClient`.
- [ ] Import `config` and `logger`.
- [ ] Call `WorkspaceTopStories` after initial setup. Log count.
- [ ] Retrieve `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` from `config`, ensuring it's a number.
- [ ] Update `Story` type in `src/types/hn.ts` to include `comments: Comment[]`.
- [ ] Loop through the fetched stories:
- [ ] Log comment fetching start for the story ID.
- [ ] Call `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` with `storyId` and `maxComments`.
- [ ] Handle potential errors from the client function call.
- [ ] Assign the returned comments array to the `comments` property of the current story object.
- [ ] Add temporary logging or use debugger to verify stories in memory contain comments (AC4).
## Testing Requirements
**Guidance:** Verify implementation against the ACs using the following tests.
- **Unit Tests:** [915]
- If logic is moved to `src/core/pipeline.ts`, unit test `runPipeline`. [916]
- Mock `algoliaHNClient` functions (`WorkspaceTopStories`, `WorkspaceCommentsForStory`). [918]
- Mock `config` to provide `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- Mock `logger`.
- Verify `WorkspaceTopStories` is called once.
- Verify `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` is called for each story returned by the mocked `WorkspaceTopStories`, and that it receives the correct `storyId` and `maxComments` value from config [185].
- Verify the results from mocked `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` are correctly assigned to the `comments` property of the story objects.
- **Integration Tests:**
- Could have an integration test for the fetch stage that uses the real `algoliaHNClient` (or a lightly mocked version checking calls) and verifies the in-memory data structure, but this is largely covered by the stage runner (Story 2.4). [921]
- **Manual/CLI Verification:**
- Run `npm run dev`.
- Check logs for fetching stories and comments messages [184].
- Use debugger or temporary `console.log` in the pipeline code to inspect a story object after the loop and confirm its `comments` property is populated [186].
- _(Hint: See `docs/testing-strategy.md` [907-950] for the overall approach)._

# Story 2.3: Persist Fetched HN Data Locally
**Status:** Draft
## Goal & Context
**User Story:** As a developer, I want to save the fetched HN stories (including their comments) to JSON files in the date-stamped output directory, so that the raw data is persisted locally for subsequent pipeline stages and debugging. [187]
**Context:** This story follows Story 2.2 where HN data (stories with comments) was fetched and stored in memory. Now, this data needs to be saved to the local filesystem. It uses the date-stamped output directory created in Epic 1 (Story 1.4) and writes one JSON file per story, containing the story metadata and its comments. This persisted data (`{storyId}_data.json`) is the input for subsequent stages (Scraping - Epic 3, Summarization - Epic 4, Email Assembly - Epic 5). [48, 734, 735]
## Detailed Requirements
- Define a consistent JSON structure for the output file content. [188] Example from `docs/data-models.md` [539]: `{ storyId: "...", title: "...", articleUrl: "...", hnUrl: "...", points: ..., numComments: ..., fetchedAt: "ISO_TIMESTAMP", comments: [{ commentId: "...", commentText: "...", author: "...", createdAt: "...", ... }, ...] }`. Include a timestamp (`WorkspaceedAt`) for when the data was fetched/saved. [190]
- Import Node.js `fs` (specifically `writeFileSync`) and `path` modules in the pipeline module (`src/core/pipeline.ts` or `src/index.ts`). [190] Import `date-fns` or use `new Date().toISOString()` for timestamp.
- In the main workflow (`pipeline.ts`), within the loop iterating through stories (immediately after comments have been fetched and added to the story object in Story 2.2): [191]
- Get the full path to the date-stamped output directory (this path should be determined/passed from the initial setup logic from Story 1.4). [191]
- Generate the current timestamp in ISO 8601 format (e.g., `new Date().toISOString()`) and add it to the story object as `WorkspaceedAt`. [190] Update `Story` type in `src/types/hn.ts`. [516]
- Construct the filename for the story's data: `{storyId}_data.json`. [192]
- Construct the full file path using `path.join()`. [193]
- Prepare the data object to be saved, matching the defined JSON structure (including `storyId`, `title`, `articleUrl`, `hnUrl`, `points`, `numComments`, `WorkspaceedAt`, `comments`).
- Serialize the prepared story data object to a JSON string using `JSON.stringify(storyData, null, 2)` for readability. [194]
- Write the JSON string to the file using `fs.writeFileSync()`. Use a `try...catch` block for error handling around the file write. [195]
- Log (using the logger) the successful persistence of each story's data file or any errors encountered during file writing. [196]
## Acceptance Criteria (ACs)
- AC1: After running `npm run dev`, the date-stamped output directory (e.g., `./output/YYYY-MM-DD/`) contains exactly 10 files named `{storyId}_data.json` (assuming 10 stories were fetched successfully). [197]
- AC2: Each JSON file contains valid JSON representing a single story object, including its metadata (`storyId`, `title`, `articleUrl`, `hnUrl`, `points`, `numComments`), a `WorkspaceedAt` ISO timestamp, and an array of its fetched `comments`, matching the structure defined in `docs/data-models.md` [538-540]. [198]
- AC3: The number of comments in each file's `comments` array does not exceed `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`. [199]
- AC4: Logs indicate that saving data to a file was attempted for each story, reporting success or specific file writing errors. [200]
- AC5: The `Story` type definition in `src/types/hn.ts` is updated to include the `WorkspaceedAt: string` field. [516]
## Technical Implementation Context
**Guidance:** Use the following details for implementation. Refer to the linked `docs/` files for broader context if needed.
- **Relevant Files:**
- Files to Modify: `src/core/pipeline.ts` (or `src/index.ts`), `src/types/hn.ts`.
- _(Hint: See `docs/project-structure.md` [818, 821, 822])._
- **Key Technologies:**
- TypeScript [846], Node.js 22.x [851].
- Native `fs` module (`writeFileSync`) [190].
- Native `path` module (`join`) [193].
- `JSON.stringify` [194].
- Uses `logger` (Story 1.4).
- Uses output directory path created in Story 1.4 logic.
- _(Hint: See `docs/tech-stack.md` [839-905])._
- **API Interactions / SDK Usage:**
- `fs.writeFileSync(filePath, jsonDataString, 'utf-8')`. [195]
- **Data Structures:**
- Uses `Story` and `Comment` types from `src/types/hn.ts`.
- Augment `Story` type to include `WorkspaceedAt: string`. [516]
- Creates JSON structure matching `{storyId}_data.json` schema in `docs/data-models.md`. [538-540]
- _(Hint: See `docs/data-models.md`)._
- **Environment Variables:**
- N/A directly, but relies on `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` being available from config (Story 1.2) used by the directory creation logic (Story 1.4).
- _(Hint: See `docs/environment-vars.md` [548-638])._
- **Coding Standards Notes:**
- Use `try...catch` for `writeFileSync` calls. [195]
- Use `JSON.stringify` with indentation (`null, 2`) for readability. [194]
- Log success/failure clearly using the logger. [196]
## Tasks / Subtasks
- [ ] In `pipeline.ts` (or `index.ts`), import `fs` and `path`.
- [ ] Update `Story` type in `src/types/hn.ts` to include `WorkspaceedAt: string`.
- [ ] Ensure the full path to the date-stamped output directory is available within the story processing loop.
- [ ] Inside the loop (after comments are fetched for a story):
- [ ] Get the current ISO timestamp (`new Date().toISOString()`).
- [ ] Add the timestamp to the story object as `WorkspaceedAt`.
- [ ] Construct the output filename: `{storyId}_data.json`.
- [ ] Construct the full file path using `path.join(outputDirPath, filename)`.
- [ ] Create the data object matching the specified JSON structure, including comments.
- [ ] Serialize the data object using `JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)`.
- [ ] Use `try...catch` block:
- [ ] Inside `try`: Call `fs.writeFileSync(fullPath, jsonString, 'utf-8')`.
- [ ] Inside `try`: Log success message with filename.
- [ ] Inside `catch`: Log file writing error with filename.
## Testing Requirements
**Guidance:** Verify implementation against the ACs using the following tests.
- **Unit Tests:** [915]
- Testing file system interactions directly in unit tests can be brittle. [918]
- Focus unit tests on the data preparation logic: ensure the object created before `JSON.stringify` has the correct structure (`storyId`, `title`, `articleUrl`, `hnUrl`, `points`, `numComments`, `WorkspaceedAt`, `comments`) based on a sample input `Story` object. [920]
- Verify the `WorkspaceedAt` timestamp is added correctly.
- **Integration Tests:** [921]
- Could test the file writing aspect using `mock-fs` or actual file system writes within a temporary directory (created during setup, removed during teardown). [924]
- Verify that the correct filename is generated and the content written to the mock/temporary file matches the expected JSON structure [538-540] and content.
- **Manual/CLI Verification:** [912]
- Run `npm run dev`.
- Inspect the `output/YYYY-MM-DD/` directory (use current date).
- Verify 10 files named `{storyId}_data.json` exist (AC1).
- Open a few files, visually inspect the JSON structure, check for all required fields (metadata, `WorkspaceedAt`, `comments` array), and verify comment count <= `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` (AC2, AC3).
- Check console logs for success messages for file writing or any errors (AC4).
- _(Hint: See `docs/testing-strategy.md` [907-950] for the overall approach)._

# Story 2.4: Implement Stage Testing Utility for HN Fetching
**Status:** Draft
## Goal & Context
**User Story:** As a developer, I want a separate, executable script that _only_ performs the HN data fetching and persistence, so I can test and trigger this stage independently of the full pipeline. [201]
**Context:** This story addresses the PRD requirement [736] for stage-specific testing utilities [764]. It creates a standalone Node.js script (`src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts`) that replicates the core logic of Stories 2.1, 2.2 (partially), and 2.3. This script will initialize necessary components (logger, config), call the `algoliaHNClient` to fetch stories and comments, and persist the results to the date-stamped output directory, just like the main pipeline does up to this point. This allows isolated testing of the Algolia API interaction and data persistence without running subsequent scraping, summarization, or emailing stages. [57, 62, 912]
## Detailed Requirements
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts`. [202]
- This script should perform the essential setup required _for this stage_:
- Initialize the logger utility (from Story 1.4). [203]
- Load configuration using the config utility (from Story 1.2) to get `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` and `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH`. [203]
- Determine the current date ('YYYY-MM-DD') using the utility from Story 1.4. [203]
- Construct the date-stamped output directory path. [203]
- Ensure the output directory exists (create it recursively if not, reusing logic/utility from Story 1.4). [203]
- The script should then execute the core logic of fetching and persistence:
- Import and use `algoliaHNClient.fetchTopStories` and `algoliaHNClient.fetchCommentsForStory` (from Story 2.1). [204]
- Import `fs` and `path`.
- Replicate the fetch loop logic from Story 2.2 (fetch stories, then loop to fetch comments for each using loaded `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` limit). [204]
- Replicate the persistence logic from Story 2.3 (add `WorkspaceedAt` timestamp, prepare data object, `JSON.stringify`, `fs.writeFileSync` to `{storyId}_data.json` in the date-stamped directory). [204]
- The script should log its progress (e.g., "Starting HN data fetch stage...", "Fetching stories...", "Fetching comments for story X...", "Saving data for story X...") using the logger utility. [205]
- Add a new script command to `package.json` under `"scripts"`: `"stage:fetch": "ts-node src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts"`. [206]
## Acceptance Criteria (ACs)
- AC1: The file `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts` exists. [207]
- AC2: The script `stage:fetch` is defined in `package.json`'s `scripts` section. [208]
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:fetch` executes successfully, performing only the setup (logger, config, output dir), fetch (stories, comments), and persist steps (to JSON files). [209]
- AC4: Running `npm run stage:fetch` creates the same 10 `{storyId}_data.json` files in the correct date-stamped output directory as running the main `npm run dev` command (up to the end of Epic 2 functionality). [210]
- AC5: Logs generated by `npm run stage:fetch` reflect only the fetching and persisting steps, not subsequent pipeline stages (scraping, summarizing, emailing). [211]
## Technical Implementation Context
**Guidance:** Use the following details for implementation. Refer to the linked `docs/` files for broader context if needed.
- **Relevant Files:**
- Files to Create: `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts`.
- Files to Modify: `package.json`.
- _(Hint: See `docs/project-structure.md` [820] for stage runner location)._
- **Key Technologies:**
- TypeScript [846], Node.js 22.x [851], `ts-node` (via `npm run` script).
- Uses `logger` (Story 1.4), `config` (Story 1.2), date util (Story 1.4), directory creation logic (Story 1.4), `algoliaHNClient` (Story 2.1), `fs`/`path` (Story 2.3).
- _(Hint: See `docs/tech-stack.md` [839-905])._
- **API Interactions / SDK Usage:**
- Calls internal `algoliaHNClient` functions.
- Uses `fs.writeFileSync`.
- **Data Structures:**
- Uses `Story`, `Comment` types.
- Generates `{storyId}_data.json` files [538-540].
- _(Hint: See `docs/data-models.md`)._
- **Environment Variables:**
- Reads `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` and `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` via `config.ts`.
- _(Hint: See `docs/environment-vars.md` [548-638])._
- **Coding Standards Notes:**
- Structure the script clearly (setup, fetch, persist).
- Use `async/await`.
- Use logger extensively for progress indication. [205]
- Consider wrapping the main logic in an `async` IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression) or a main function call.
## Tasks / Subtasks
- [ ] Create `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts`.
- [ ] Add imports for logger, config, date util, `algoliaHNClient`, `fs`, `path`.
- [ ] Implement setup logic: initialize logger, load config, get output dir path, ensure directory exists.
- [ ] Implement main fetch logic:
- [ ] Call `WorkspaceTopStories`.
- [ ] Get `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` from config.
- [ ] Loop through stories:
- [ ] Call `WorkspaceCommentsForStory`.
- [ ] Add comments to story object.
- [ ] Add `WorkspaceedAt` timestamp.
- [ ] Prepare data object for saving.
- [ ] Construct full file path for `{storyId}_data.json`.
- [ ] Serialize and write to file using `fs.writeFileSync` within `try...catch`.
- [ ] Log progress/success/errors.
- [ ] Add script `"stage:fetch": "ts-node src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts"` to `package.json`.
## Testing Requirements
**Guidance:** Verify implementation against the ACs using the following tests.
- **Unit Tests:** Unit tests for the underlying components (logger, config, client, utils) should already exist from previous stories. Unit testing the stage script itself might have limited value beyond checking basic setup calls if the core logic is just orchestrating tested components. [915]
- **Integration Tests:** N/A specifically for the script, as it _is_ an integration test itself. [921]
- **Manual/CLI Verification (Primary Test Method for this Story):** [912, 927]
- Run `npm run stage:fetch`. [209]
- Verify successful execution without errors.
- Check console logs for messages specific to fetching and persisting [211].
- Inspect the `output/YYYY-MM-DD/` directory and verify the content of the generated `{storyId}_data.json` files match expectations (similar to verification for Story 2.3) [210].
- Modify `package.json` to add the script (AC2).
- _(Hint: See `docs/testing-strategy.md` [907-950] which identifies Stage Runners as a key part of Acceptance Testing)._

# Story 2.1: Implement Algolia HN API Client
**Status:** Draft
## Goal & Context
**User Story:** As a developer, I want a dedicated client module to interact with the Algolia Hacker News Search API, so that fetching stories and comments is encapsulated, reusable, and uses the required native `Workspace` API. [155]
**Context:** This story creates the primary interface for retrieving data from the external Hacker News API provided by Algolia. It encapsulates the specific API calls (`GET /search` for stories and comments) and data extraction logic into a reusable module (`src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts`). This client will be used by the main pipeline (Story 2.2) and the stage testing utility (Story 2.4). It builds upon the logger created in Epic 1 (Story 1.4). [54, 60, 62, 77]
## Detailed Requirements
- Create a new module: `src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts`. [156]
- Implement an async function `WorkspaceTopStories` within the client: [157]
- Use native `Workspace` [749] to call the Algolia HN Search API endpoint for front-page stories (`http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=front_page&hitsPerPage=10`). [4, 6, 7, 157] Adjust `hitsPerPage` if needed to ensure 10 stories.
- Parse the JSON response. [158]
- Extract required metadata for each story: `objectID` (use as `storyId`), `title`, `url` (use as `articleUrl`), `points`, `num_comments`. [159, 522] Handle potential missing `url` field gracefully (log warning using logger from Story 1.4, treat as null). [160]
- Construct the `hnUrl` for each story (e.g., `https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id={storyId}`). [161]
- Return an array of structured story objects (define a `Story` type, potentially in `src/types/hn.ts`). [162, 506-511]
- Implement a separate async function `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` within the client: [163]
- Accept `storyId` (string) and `maxComments` limit (number) as arguments. [163]
- Use native `Workspace` to call the Algolia HN Search API endpoint for comments of a specific story (`http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=comment,story_{storyId}&hitsPerPage={maxComments}`). [12, 13, 14, 164]
- Parse the JSON response. [165]
- Extract required comment data: `objectID` (use as `commentId`), `comment_text`, `author`, `created_at`. [165, 524]
- Filter out comments where `comment_text` is null or empty. Ensure only up to `maxComments` are returned. [166]
- Return an array of structured comment objects (define a `Comment` type, potentially in `src/types/hn.ts`). [167, 500-505]
- Implement basic error handling using `try...catch` around `Workspace` calls and check `response.ok` status. [168] Log errors using the logger utility from Epic 1 (Story 1.4). [169]
- Define TypeScript interfaces/types for the expected structures of API responses (subset needed) and the data returned by the client functions (`Story`, `Comment`). Place these in `src/types/hn.ts`. [169, 821]
## Acceptance Criteria (ACs)
- AC1: The module `src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts` exists and exports `WorkspaceTopStories` and `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` functions. [170]
- AC2: Calling `WorkspaceTopStories` makes a network request to the correct Algolia endpoint (`search?tags=front_page&hitsPerPage=10`) and returns a promise resolving to an array of 10 `Story` objects containing the specified metadata (`storyId`, `title`, `articleUrl`, `hnUrl`, `points`, `num_comments`). [171]
- AC3: Calling `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` with a valid `storyId` and `maxComments` limit makes a network request to the correct Algolia endpoint (`search?tags=comment,story_{storyId}&hitsPerPage={maxComments}`) and returns a promise resolving to an array of `Comment` objects (up to `maxComments`), filtering out empty ones. [172]
- AC4: Both functions use the native `Workspace` API internally. [173]
- AC5: Network errors or non-successful API responses (e.g., status 4xx, 5xx) are caught and logged using the logger from Story 1.4. [174] Functions should likely return an empty array or throw a specific error in failure cases for the caller to handle.
- AC6: Relevant TypeScript types (`Story`, `Comment`) are defined in `src/types/hn.ts` and used within the client module. [175]
## Technical Implementation Context
**Guidance:** Use the following details for implementation. Refer to the linked `docs/` files for broader context if needed.
- **Relevant Files:**
- Files to Create: `src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts`, `src/types/hn.ts`.

- Define `Story` interface (initial fields): `{ storyId: string, title: string, articleUrl: string | null, hnUrl: string, points?: number, numComments?: number }`. [507-511]
- (These types will be augmented in later stories [512-517]).
- Reference Algolia response subset schemas in `docs/data-models.md` [521-525].
- _(Hint: See `docs/data-models.md` for full details)._
- **Environment Variables:**
- No direct environment variables needed for this client itself (uses hardcoded base URL, fetches comment limit via argument).
- _(Hint: See `docs/environment-vars.md` [548-638] for all variables)._
- **Coding Standards Notes:**
- Use `async/await` for `Workspace` calls.

# Story 2.2: Integrate HN Data Fetching into Main Workflow
**Status:** Draft
## Goal & Context
**User Story:** As a developer, I want to integrate the HN data fetching logic into the main application workflow (`src/index.ts`), so that running the app retrieves the top 10 stories and their comments after completing the setup from Epic 1. [176]
**Context:** This story connects the HN API client created in Story 2.1 to the main application entry point (`src/index.ts`) established in Epic 1 (Story 1.3). It modifies the main execution flow to call the client functions (`WorkspaceTopStories`, `WorkspaceCommentsForStory`) after the initial setup (logger, config, output directory). It uses the `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` configuration value loaded in Story 1.2. The fetched data (stories and their associated comments) is held in memory at the end of this stage. [46, 77]
## Detailed Requirements
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts` (or a main async function called by it, potentially moving logic to `src/core/pipeline.ts` as suggested by `ARCH` [46, 53] and `PS` [818]). **Recommendation:** Create `src/core/pipeline.ts` and a `runPipeline` async function, then call this function from `src/index.ts`.
- Import the `algoliaHNClient` functions (`WorkspaceTopStories`, `WorkspaceCommentsForStory`) from Story 2.1. [177]
- Import the configuration module (`src/utils/config.ts`) to access `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`. [177, 563] Also import the logger.
- In the main pipeline function, after the Epic 1 setup (config load, logger init, output dir creation):
- Call `await fetchTopStories()`. [178]
- Log the number of stories fetched (e.g., "Fetched X stories."). [179] Use the logger from Story 1.4.
- Retrieve the `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` value from the config module. Ensure it's parsed as a number. Provide a default if necessary (e.g., 50, matching `ENV` [564]).
- Iterate through the array of fetched `Story` objects. [179]
- For each `Story`:
- Log progress (e.g., "Fetching up to Y comments for story {storyId}..."). [182]
- Call `await fetchCommentsForStory()`, passing the `story.storyId` and the configured `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` value. [180]
- Store the fetched comments (the returned `Comment[]`) within the corresponding `Story` object in memory (e.g., add a `comments: Comment[]` property to the `Story` type/object). [181] Augment the `Story` type definition in `src/types/hn.ts`. [512]
- Ensure errors from the client functions are handled appropriately (e.g., log error and potentially skip comment fetching for that story).
## Acceptance Criteria (ACs)
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes Epic 1 setup steps followed by fetching stories and then comments for each story using the `algoliaHNClient`. [183]
- AC2: Logs (via logger) clearly show the start and successful completion of fetching stories, and the start of fetching comments for each of the 10 stories. [184]
- AC3: The configured `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` value is read from config, parsed as a number, and used in the calls to `WorkspaceCommentsForStory`. [185]
- AC4: After successful execution (before persistence in Story 2.3), `Story` objects held in memory contain a `comments` property populated with an array of fetched `Comment` objects. [186] (Verification via debugger or temporary logging).
- AC5: The `Story` type definition in `src/types/hn.ts` is updated to include the `comments: Comment[]` field. [512]
- AC6: (If implemented) Core logic is moved to `src/core/pipeline.ts` and called from `src/index.ts`. [818]
## Technical Implementation Context
**Guidance:** Use the following details for implementation. Refer to the linked `docs/` files for broader context if needed.
- **Relevant Files:**
- Files to Create: `src/core/pipeline.ts` (recommended).
- Files to Modify: `src/index.ts`, `src/types/hn.ts`.
- _(Hint: See `docs/project-structure.md` [818, 821, 822])._
- **Key Technologies:**
- TypeScript [846], Node.js 22.x [851].
- Uses `algoliaHNClient` (Story 2.1), `config` (Story 1.2), `logger` (Story 1.4).
- _(Hint: See `docs/tech-stack.md` [839-905])._
- **API Interactions / SDK Usage:**
- Calls internal `algoliaHNClient.fetchTopStories()` and `algoliaHNClient.fetchCommentsForStory()`.
- **Data Structures:**
- Augment `Story` interface in `src/types/hn.ts` to include `comments: Comment[]`. [512]
- Manipulates arrays of `Story` and `Comment` objects in memory.
- _(Hint: See `docs/data-models.md` [500-517])._
- **Environment Variables:**
- Reads `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` via `config.ts`. [177, 563]
- _(Hint: See `docs/environment-vars.md` [548-638])._
- **Coding Standards Notes:**
- Use `async/await` for calling client functions.
- Structure fetching logic cleanly (e.g., within a loop).
- Use the logger for progress and error reporting. [182, 184]
- Consider putting the main loop logic inside the `runPipeline` function in `src/core/pipeline.ts`.
## Tasks / Subtasks
- [ ] (Recommended) Create `src/core/pipeline.ts` and define an async `runPipeline` function.
- [ ] Modify `src/index.ts` to import and call `runPipeline`. Move existing setup logic (logger init, config load, dir creation) into `runPipeline` or ensure it runs before it.
- [ ] In `pipeline.ts` (or `index.ts`), import `WorkspaceTopStories`, `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` from `algoliaHNClient`.
- [ ] Import `config` and `logger`.
- [ ] Call `WorkspaceTopStories` after initial setup. Log count.
- [ ] Retrieve `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` from `config`, ensuring it's a number.
- [ ] Update `Story` type in `src/types/hn.ts` to include `comments: Comment[]`.
- [ ] Loop through the fetched stories:
- [ ] Log comment fetching start for the story ID.
- [ ] Call `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` with `storyId` and `maxComments`.
- [ ] Handle potential errors from the client function call.
- [ ] Assign the returned comments array to the `comments` property of the current story object.
- [ ] Add temporary logging or use debugger to verify stories in memory contain comments (AC4).
## Testing Requirements
**Guidance:** Verify implementation against the ACs using the following tests.
- **Unit Tests:** [915]
- If logic is moved to `src/core/pipeline.ts`, unit test `runPipeline`. [916]
- Mock `algoliaHNClient` functions (`WorkspaceTopStories`, `WorkspaceCommentsForStory`). [918]
- Mock `config` to provide `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- Mock `logger`.
- Verify `WorkspaceTopStories` is called once.
- Verify `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` is called for each story returned by the mocked `WorkspaceTopStories`, and that it receives the correct `storyId` and `maxComments` value from config [185].
- Verify the results from mocked `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` are correctly assigned to the `comments` property of the story objects.
- **Integration Tests:**
- Could have an integration test for the fetch stage that uses the real `algoliaHNClient` (or a lightly mocked version checking calls) and verifies the in-memory data structure, but this is largely covered by the stage runner (Story 2.4). [921]
- **Manual/CLI Verification:**
- Run `npm run dev`.
- Check logs for fetching stories and comments messages [184].
- Use debugger or temporary `console.log` in the pipeline code to inspect a story object after the loop and confirm its `comments` property is populated [186].
- _(Hint: See `docs/testing-strategy.md` [907-950] for the overall approach)._

# Story 2.3: Persist Fetched HN Data Locally
**Status:** Draft
## Goal & Context
**User Story:** As a developer, I want to save the fetched HN stories (including their comments) to JSON files in the date-stamped output directory, so that the raw data is persisted locally for subsequent pipeline stages and debugging. [187]
**Context:** This story follows Story 2.2 where HN data (stories with comments) was fetched and stored in memory. Now, this data needs to be saved to the local filesystem. It uses the date-stamped output directory created in Epic 1 (Story 1.4) and writes one JSON file per story, containing the story metadata and its comments. This persisted data (`{storyId}_data.json`) is the input for subsequent stages (Scraping - Epic 3, Summarization - Epic 4, Email Assembly - Epic 5). [48, 734, 735]
## Detailed Requirements
- Define a consistent JSON structure for the output file content. [188] Example from `docs/data-models.md` [539]: `{ storyId: "...", title: "...", articleUrl: "...", hnUrl: "...", points: ..., numComments: ..., fetchedAt: "ISO_TIMESTAMP", comments: [{ commentId: "...", commentText: "...", author: "...", createdAt: "...", ... }, ...] }`. Include a timestamp (`WorkspaceedAt`) for when the data was fetched/saved. [190]
- Import Node.js `fs` (specifically `writeFileSync`) and `path` modules in the pipeline module (`src/core/pipeline.ts` or `src/index.ts`). [190] Import `date-fns` or use `new Date().toISOString()` for timestamp.
- In the main workflow (`pipeline.ts`), within the loop iterating through stories (immediately after comments have been fetched and added to the story object in Story 2.2): [191]
- Get the full path to the date-stamped output directory (this path should be determined/passed from the initial setup logic from Story 1.4). [191]
- Generate the current timestamp in ISO 8601 format (e.g., `new Date().toISOString()`) and add it to the story object as `WorkspaceedAt`. [190] Update `Story` type in `src/types/hn.ts`. [516]
- Construct the filename for the story's data: `{storyId}_data.json`. [192]
- Construct the full file path using `path.join()`. [193]
- Prepare the data object to be saved, matching the defined JSON structure (including `storyId`, `title`, `articleUrl`, `hnUrl`, `points`, `numComments`, `WorkspaceedAt`, `comments`).
- Serialize the prepared story data object to a JSON string using `JSON.stringify(storyData, null, 2)` for readability. [194]
- Write the JSON string to the file using `fs.writeFileSync()`. Use a `try...catch` block for error handling around the file write. [195]
- Log (using the logger) the successful persistence of each story's data file or any errors encountered during file writing. [196]
## Acceptance Criteria (ACs)
- AC1: After running `npm run dev`, the date-stamped output directory (e.g., `./output/YYYY-MM-DD/`) contains exactly 10 files named `{storyId}_data.json` (assuming 10 stories were fetched successfully). [197]
- AC2: Each JSON file contains valid JSON representing a single story object, including its metadata (`storyId`, `title`, `articleUrl`, `hnUrl`, `points`, `numComments`), a `WorkspaceedAt` ISO timestamp, and an array of its fetched `comments`, matching the structure defined in `docs/data-models.md` [538-540]. [198]
- AC3: The number of comments in each file's `comments` array does not exceed `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`. [199]
- AC4: Logs indicate that saving data to a file was attempted for each story, reporting success or specific file writing errors. [200]
- AC5: The `Story` type definition in `src/types/hn.ts` is updated to include the `WorkspaceedAt: string` field. [516]
## Technical Implementation Context
**Guidance:** Use the following details for implementation. Refer to the linked `docs/` files for broader context if needed.
- **Relevant Files:**
- Files to Modify: `src/core/pipeline.ts` (or `src/index.ts`), `src/types/hn.ts`.
- _(Hint: See `docs/project-structure.md` [818, 821, 822])._
- **Key Technologies:**
- TypeScript [846], Node.js 22.x [851].
- Native `fs` module (`writeFileSync`) [190].
- Native `path` module (`join`) [193].
- `JSON.stringify` [194].
- Uses `logger` (Story 1.4).
- Uses output directory path created in Story 1.4 logic.
- _(Hint: See `docs/tech-stack.md` [839-905])._
- **API Interactions / SDK Usage:**
- `fs.writeFileSync(filePath, jsonDataString, 'utf-8')`. [195]
- **Data Structures:**
- Uses `Story` and `Comment` types from `src/types/hn.ts`.
- Augment `Story` type to include `WorkspaceedAt: string`. [516]
- Creates JSON structure matching `{storyId}_data.json` schema in `docs/data-models.md`. [538-540]
- _(Hint: See `docs/data-models.md`)._
- **Environment Variables:**
- N/A directly, but relies on `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` being available from config (Story 1.2) used by the directory creation logic (Story 1.4).
- _(Hint: See `docs/environment-vars.md` [548-638])._
- **Coding Standards Notes:**
- Use `try...catch` for `writeFileSync` calls. [195]
- Use `JSON.stringify` with indentation (`null, 2`) for readability. [194]
- Log success/failure clearly using the logger. [196]
## Tasks / Subtasks
- [ ] In `pipeline.ts` (or `index.ts`), import `fs` and `path`.
- [ ] Update `Story` type in `src/types/hn.ts` to include `WorkspaceedAt: string`.
- [ ] Ensure the full path to the date-stamped output directory is available within the story processing loop.
- [ ] Inside the loop (after comments are fetched for a story):
- [ ] Get the current ISO timestamp (`new Date().toISOString()`).
- [ ] Add the timestamp to the story object as `WorkspaceedAt`.
- [ ] Construct the output filename: `{storyId}_data.json`.
- [ ] Construct the full file path using `path.join(outputDirPath, filename)`.
- [ ] Create the data object matching the specified JSON structure, including comments.
- [ ] Serialize the data object using `JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)`.
- [ ] Use `try...catch` block:
- [ ] Inside `try`: Call `fs.writeFileSync(fullPath, jsonString, 'utf-8')`.
- [ ] Inside `try`: Log success message with filename.
- [ ] Inside `catch`: Log file writing error with filename.
## Testing Requirements
**Guidance:** Verify implementation against the ACs using the following tests.
- **Unit Tests:** [915]
- Testing file system interactions directly in unit tests can be brittle. [918]
- Focus unit tests on the data preparation logic: ensure the object created before `JSON.stringify` has the correct structure (`storyId`, `title`, `articleUrl`, `hnUrl`, `points`, `numComments`, `WorkspaceedAt`, `comments`) based on a sample input `Story` object. [920]
- Verify the `WorkspaceedAt` timestamp is added correctly.
- **Integration Tests:** [921]
- Could test the file writing aspect using `mock-fs` or actual file system writes within a temporary directory (created during setup, removed during teardown). [924]
- Verify that the correct filename is generated and the content written to the mock/temporary file matches the expected JSON structure [538-540] and content.
- **Manual/CLI Verification:** [912]
- Run `npm run dev`.
- Inspect the `output/YYYY-MM-DD/` directory (use current date).
- Verify 10 files named `{storyId}_data.json` exist (AC1).
- Open a few files, visually inspect the JSON structure, check for all required fields (metadata, `WorkspaceedAt`, `comments` array), and verify comment count <= `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` (AC2, AC3).
- Check console logs for success messages for file writing or any errors (AC4).
- _(Hint: See `docs/testing-strategy.md` [907-950] for the overall approach)._

# Story 2.4: Implement Stage Testing Utility for HN Fetching
**Status:** Draft
## Goal & Context
**User Story:** As a developer, I want a separate, executable script that _only_ performs the HN data fetching and persistence, so I can test and trigger this stage independently of the full pipeline. [201]
**Context:** This story addresses the PRD requirement [736] for stage-specific testing utilities [764]. It creates a standalone Node.js script (`src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts`) that replicates the core logic of Stories 2.1, 2.2 (partially), and 2.3. This script will initialize necessary components (logger, config), call the `algoliaHNClient` to fetch stories and comments, and persist the results to the date-stamped output directory, just like the main pipeline does up to this point. This allows isolated testing of the Algolia API interaction and data persistence without running subsequent scraping, summarization, or emailing stages. [57, 62, 912]
## Detailed Requirements
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts`. [202]
- This script should perform the essential setup required _for this stage_:
- Initialize the logger utility (from Story 1.4). [203]
- Load configuration using the config utility (from Story 1.2) to get `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` and `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH`. [203]
- Determine the current date ('YYYY-MM-DD') using the utility from Story 1.4. [203]
- Construct the date-stamped output directory path. [203]
- Ensure the output directory exists (create it recursively if not, reusing logic/utility from Story 1.4). [203]
- The script should then execute the core logic of fetching and persistence:
- Import and use `algoliaHNClient.fetchTopStories` and `algoliaHNClient.fetchCommentsForStory` (from Story 2.1). [204]
- Import `fs` and `path`.
- Replicate the fetch loop logic from Story 2.2 (fetch stories, then loop to fetch comments for each using loaded `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` limit). [204]
- Replicate the persistence logic from Story 2.3 (add `WorkspaceedAt` timestamp, prepare data object, `JSON.stringify`, `fs.writeFileSync` to `{storyId}_data.json` in the date-stamped directory). [204]
- The script should log its progress (e.g., "Starting HN data fetch stage...", "Fetching stories...", "Fetching comments for story X...", "Saving data for story X...") using the logger utility. [205]
- Add a new script command to `package.json` under `"scripts"`: `"stage:fetch": "ts-node src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts"`. [206]
## Acceptance Criteria (ACs)
- AC1: The file `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts` exists. [207]
- AC2: The script `stage:fetch` is defined in `package.json`'s `scripts` section. [208]
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:fetch` executes successfully, performing only the setup (logger, config, output dir), fetch (stories, comments), and persist steps (to JSON files). [209]
- AC4: Running `npm run stage:fetch` creates the same 10 `{storyId}_data.json` files in the correct date-stamped output directory as running the main `npm run dev` command (up to the end of Epic 2 functionality). [210]
- AC5: Logs generated by `npm run stage:fetch` reflect only the fetching and persisting steps, not subsequent pipeline stages (scraping, summarizing, emailing). [211]
## Technical Implementation Context
**Guidance:** Use the following details for implementation. Refer to the linked `docs/` files for broader context if needed.
- **Relevant Files:**
- Files to Create: `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts`.
- Files to Modify: `package.json`.
- _(Hint: See `docs/project-structure.md` [820] for stage runner location)._
- **Key Technologies:**
- TypeScript [846], Node.js 22.x [851], `ts-node` (via `npm run` script).
- Uses `logger` (Story 1.4), `config` (Story 1.2), date util (Story 1.4), directory creation logic (Story 1.4), `algoliaHNClient` (Story 2.1), `fs`/`path` (Story 2.3).
- _(Hint: See `docs/tech-stack.md` [839-905])._
- **API Interactions / SDK Usage:**
- Calls internal `algoliaHNClient` functions.
- Uses `fs.writeFileSync`.
- **Data Structures:**
- Uses `Story`, `Comment` types.
- Generates `{storyId}_data.json` files [538-540].
- _(Hint: See `docs/data-models.md`)._
- **Environment Variables:**
- Reads `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` and `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` via `config.ts`.
- _(Hint: See `docs/environment-vars.md` [548-638])._
- **Coding Standards Notes:**
- Structure the script clearly (setup, fetch, persist).
- Use `async/await`.
- Use logger extensively for progress indication. [205]
- Consider wrapping the main logic in an `async` IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression) or a main function call.
## Tasks / Subtasks
- [ ] Create `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts`.
- [ ] Add imports for logger, config, date util, `algoliaHNClient`, `fs`, `path`.
- [ ] Implement setup logic: initialize logger, load config, get output dir path, ensure directory exists.
- [ ] Implement main fetch logic:
- [ ] Call `WorkspaceTopStories`.
- [ ] Get `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` from config.
- [ ] Loop through stories:
- [ ] Call `WorkspaceCommentsForStory`.
- [ ] Add comments to story object.
- [ ] Add `WorkspaceedAt` timestamp.
- [ ] Prepare data object for saving.
- [ ] Construct full file path for `{storyId}_data.json`.
- [ ] Serialize and write to file using `fs.writeFileSync` within `try...catch`.
- [ ] Log progress/success/errors.
- [ ] Add script `"stage:fetch": "ts-node src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts"` to `package.json`.
## Testing Requirements
**Guidance:** Verify implementation against the ACs using the following tests.
- **Unit Tests:** Unit tests for the underlying components (logger, config, client, utils) should already exist from previous stories. Unit testing the stage script itself might have limited value beyond checking basic setup calls if the core logic is just orchestrating tested components. [915]
- **Integration Tests:** N/A specifically for the script, as it _is_ an integration test itself. [921]
- **Manual/CLI Verification (Primary Test Method for this Story):** [912, 927]
- Run `npm run stage:fetch`. [209]
- Verify successful execution without errors.
- Check console logs for messages specific to fetching and persisting [211].
- Inspect the `output/YYYY-MM-DD/` directory and verify the content of the generated `{storyId}_data.json` files match expectations (similar to verification for Story 2.3) [210].
- Modify `package.json` to add the script (AC2).
- _(Hint: See `docs/testing-strategy.md` [907-950] which identifies Stage Runners as a key part of Acceptance Testing)._

# Story 3.1: Implement Basic Article Scraper Module
**Status:** Draft
## Goal & Context
**User Story:** As a developer, I want a module that attempts to fetch HTML from a URL and extract the main article text using basic methods, handling common failures gracefully, so article content can be prepared for summarization. [220]
**Context:** This story introduces the article scraping capability. It creates a dedicated module (`src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`) responsible for fetching content from external article URLs (found in the `{storyId}_data.json` files from Epic 2) and extracting plain text. It emphasizes using native `Workspace` and a simple extraction library (`@extractus/article-extractor` is recommended [222, 873]), and crucially, handling failures robustly (timeouts, non-HTML content, extraction errors) as required by the PRD [723, 724, 741]. This module will be used by the main pipeline (Story 3.2) and the stage tester (Story 3.4). [47, 55, 60, 63, 65]
## Detailed Requirements
- Create a new module: `src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`. [221]
- Add `@extractus/article-extractor` dependency: `npm install @extractus/article-extractor --save-prod`. [222, 223, 873]
- Implement an async function `scrapeArticle(url: string): Promise<string | null>` within the module. [223, 224]
- Inside the function:
- Use native `Workspace` [749] to retrieve content from the `url`. [224] Set a reasonable timeout (e.g., 15 seconds via `AbortSignal.timeout()`, configure via `SCRAPE_TIMEOUT_MS` [615] if needed). Include a `User-Agent` header (e.g., `"BMadHackerDigest/0.1"` or configurable via `SCRAPER_USER_AGENT` [629]). [225]
- Handle potential `Workspace` errors (network errors, timeouts) using `try...catch`. Log error using logger (from Story 1.4) and return `null`. [226]
- Check the `response.ok` status. If not okay, log error (including status code) and return `null`. [226, 227]
- Check the `Content-Type` header of the response. If it doesn't indicate HTML (e.g., does not include `text/html`), log warning and return `null`. [227, 228]
- If HTML is received (`response.text()`), attempt to extract the main article text using `@extractus/article-extractor`. [229]
- Wrap the extraction logic (`await articleExtractor.extract(htmlContent)`) in a `try...catch` to handle library-specific errors. Log error and return `null` on failure. [230]
- Return the extracted plain text (`article.content`) if successful and not empty. Ensure it's just text, not HTML markup. [231]
- Return `null` if extraction fails or results in empty content. [232]
- Log all significant events, errors, or reasons for returning null (e.g., "Scraping URL...", "Fetch failed:", "Non-OK status:", "Non-HTML content type:", "Extraction failed:", "Successfully extracted text for {url}") using the logger utility. [233]
- Define TypeScript types/interfaces as needed (though `article-extractor` types might suffice). [234]
## Acceptance Criteria (ACs)
- AC1: The `src/scraper/articleScraper.ts` module exists and exports the `scrapeArticle` function. [234]
- AC2: The `@extractus/article-extractor` library is added to `dependencies` in `package.json` and `package-lock.json` is updated. [235]
- AC3: `scrapeArticle` uses native `Workspace` with a timeout (default or configured) and a User-Agent header. [236]
- AC4: `scrapeArticle` correctly handles fetch errors (network, timeout), non-OK responses, and non-HTML content types by logging the specific reason and returning `null`. [237]
- AC5: `scrapeArticle` uses `@extractus/article-extractor` to attempt text extraction from valid HTML content fetched via `response.text()`. [238]
- AC6: `scrapeArticle` returns the extracted plain text string on success, and `null` on any failure (fetch, non-HTML, extraction error, empty result). [239]
- AC7: Relevant logs are produced using the logger for success, different failure modes, and errors encountered during the process. [240]
## Technical Implementation Context
**Guidance:** Use the following details for implementation. Refer to the linked `docs/` files for broader context if needed.
- **Relevant Files:**
- Files to Create: `src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`.
- Files to Modify: `package.json`, `package-lock.json`. Add optional env vars to `.env.example`.
- _(Hint: See `docs/project-structure.md` [819] for scraper location)._
- **Key Technologies:**
- TypeScript [846], Node.js 22.x [851], Native `Workspace` API [863].
- `@extractus/article-extractor` library. [873]
- Uses `logger` utility (Story 1.4).
- Uses `config` utility (Story 1.2) if implementing configurable timeout/user-agent.
- _(Hint: See `docs/tech-stack.md` [839-905])._
- **API Interactions / SDK Usage:**
- Native `Workspace(url, { signal: AbortSignal.timeout(timeoutMs), headers: { 'User-Agent': userAgent } })`. [225]
- Check `response.ok`, `response.headers.get('Content-Type')`. [227, 228]
- Get body as text: `await response.text()`. [229]
- `@extractus/article-extractor`: `import articleExtractor from '@extractus/article-extractor'; const article = await articleExtractor.extract(htmlContent); return article?.content || null;` [229, 231]
- **Data Structures:**
- Function signature: `scrapeArticle(url: string): Promise<string | null>`. [224]
- Uses `article` object returned by extractor.
- _(Hint: See `docs/data-models.md` [498-547])._
- **Environment Variables:**
- Optional: `SCRAPE_TIMEOUT_MS` (default e.g., 15000). [615]
- Optional: `SCRAPER_USER_AGENT` (default e.g., "BMadHackerDigest/0.1"). [629]
- Load via `config.ts` if used.
- _(Hint: See `docs/environment-vars.md` [548-638])._
- **Coding Standards Notes:**
- Use `async/await`.
- Implement comprehensive `try...catch` blocks for `Workspace` and extraction. [226, 230]
- Log errors and reasons for returning `null` clearly. [233]
## Tasks / Subtasks
- [ ] Run `npm install @extractus/article-extractor --save-prod`.
- [ ] Create `src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`.
- [ ] Import logger, (optionally config), and `articleExtractor`.
- [ ] Define the `scrapeArticle` async function accepting a `url`.
- [ ] Implement `try...catch` for the entire fetch/parse logic. Log error and return `null` in `catch`.
- [ ] Inside `try`:
- [ ] Define timeout (default or from config).
- [ ] Define User-Agent (default or from config).
- [ ] Call native `Workspace` with URL, timeout signal, and User-Agent header.
- [ ] Check `response.ok`. If not OK, log status and return `null`.
- [ ] Check `Content-Type` header. If not HTML, log type and return `null`.
- [ ] Get HTML content using `response.text()`.
- [ ] Implement inner `try...catch` for extraction:
- [ ] Call `await articleExtractor.extract(htmlContent)`.
- [ ] Check if result (`article?.content`) is valid text. If yes, log success and return text.
- [ ] If extraction failed or content is empty, log reason and return `null`.
- [ ] In `catch` block for extraction, log error and return `null`.
- [ ] Add optional env vars `SCRAPE_TIMEOUT_MS` and `SCRAPER_USER_AGENT` to `.env.example`.
## Testing Requirements
**Guidance:** Verify implementation against the ACs using the following tests.
- **Unit Tests:** [915]
- Write unit tests for `src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`. [919]
- Mock native `Workspace`. Test different scenarios:
- Successful fetch (200 OK, HTML content type) -> Mock `articleExtractor` success -> Verify returned text [239].
- Successful fetch -> Mock `articleExtractor` failure/empty content -> Verify `null` return and logs [239, 240].
- Fetch returns non-OK status (e.g., 404, 500) -> Verify `null` return and logs [237, 240].
- Fetch returns non-HTML content type -> Verify `null` return and logs [237, 240].
- Fetch throws network error/timeout -> Verify `null` return and logs [237, 240].
- Mock `@extractus/article-extractor` to simulate success and failure cases. [918]
- Verify `Workspace` is called with the correct URL, User-Agent, and timeout signal [236].
- **Integration Tests:** N/A for this module itself. [921]
- **Manual/CLI Verification:** Tested indirectly via Story 3.2 execution and directly via Story 3.4 stage runner. [912]
- _(Hint: See `docs/testing-strategy.md` [907-950] for the overall approach)._

# Story 3.2: Integrate Article Scraping into Main Workflow
**Status:** Draft
## Goal & Context
**User Story:** As a developer, I want to integrate the article scraper into the main workflow (`src/core/pipeline.ts`), attempting to scrape the article for each HN story that has a valid URL, after fetching its data. [241]
**Context:** This story connects the scraper module (`articleScraper.ts` from Story 3.1) into the main application pipeline (`src/core/pipeline.ts`) developed in Epic 2. It modifies the main loop over the fetched stories (which contain data loaded in Story 2.2) to include a call to `scrapeArticle` for stories that have an article URL. The result (scraped text or null) is then stored in memory, associated with the story object. [47, 78, 79]
## Detailed Requirements
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/core/pipeline.ts` (assuming logic moved here in Story 2.2). [242]
- Import the `scrapeArticle` function from `src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`. [243] Import the logger.
- Within the main loop iterating through the fetched `Story` objects (after comments are fetched in Story 2.2 and before persistence in Story 2.3):
- Check if `story.articleUrl` exists and appears to be a valid HTTP/HTTPS URL. A simple check for starting with `http://` or `https://` is sufficient. [243, 244]
- If the URL is missing or invalid, log a warning using the logger ("Skipping scraping for story {storyId}: Missing or invalid URL") and proceed to the next step for this story (e.g., summarization in Epic 4, or persistence in Story 3.3). Set an internal placeholder for scraped content to `null`. [245]
- If a valid URL exists:
- Log ("Attempting to scrape article for story {storyId} from {story.articleUrl}"). [246]
- Call `await scrapeArticle(story.articleUrl)`. [247]
- Store the result (the extracted text string or `null`) in memory, associated with the story object. Define/add property `articleContent: string | null` to the `Story` type in `src/types/hn.ts`. [247, 513]
- Log the outcome clearly using the logger (e.g., "Successfully scraped article for story {storyId}", "Failed to scrape article for story {storyId}"). [248]
## Acceptance Criteria (ACs)
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes Epic 1 & 2 steps, and then attempts article scraping for stories with valid `articleUrl`s within the main pipeline loop. [249]
- AC2: Stories with missing or invalid `articleUrl`s are skipped by the scraping step, and a corresponding warning message is logged via the logger. [250]
- AC3: For stories with valid URLs, the `scrapeArticle` function from `src/scraper/articleScraper.ts` is called with the correct URL. [251]
- AC4: Logs (via logger) clearly indicate the start ("Attempting to scrape...") and the success/failure outcome of the scraping attempt for each relevant story. [252]
- AC5: Story objects held in memory after this stage contain an `articleContent` property holding the scraped text (string) or `null` if scraping was skipped or failed. [253] (Verify via debugger/logging).
- AC6: The `Story` type definition in `src/types/hn.ts` is updated to include the `articleContent: string | null` field. [513]
## Technical Implementation Context
**Guidance:** Use the following details for implementation. Refer to the linked `docs/` files for broader context if needed.
- **Relevant Files:**
- Files to Modify: `src/core/pipeline.ts`, `src/types/hn.ts`.
- _(Hint: See `docs/project-structure.md` [818, 821])._
- **Key Technologies:**
- TypeScript [846], Node.js 22.x [851].
- Uses `articleScraper.scrapeArticle` (Story 3.1), `logger` (Story 1.4).
- _(Hint: See `docs/tech-stack.md` [839-905])._
- **API Interactions / SDK Usage:**
- Calls internal `scrapeArticle(url)`.
- **Data Structures:**
- Operates on `Story[]` fetched in Epic 2.
- Augment `Story` interface in `src/types/hn.ts` to include `articleContent: string | null`. [513]
- Checks `story.articleUrl`.
- _(Hint: See `docs/data-models.md` [506-517])._
- **Environment Variables:**
- N/A directly, but `scrapeArticle` might use them (Story 3.1).
- _(Hint: See `docs/environment-vars.md` [548-638])._
- **Coding Standards Notes:**
- Perform the URL check before calling the scraper. [244]
- Clearly log skipping, attempt, success, failure for scraping. [245, 246, 248]
- Ensure the `articleContent` property is always set (either to the result string or explicitly to `null`).
## Tasks / Subtasks
- [ ] Update `Story` type in `src/types/hn.ts` to include `articleContent: string | null`.
- [ ] Modify the main loop in `src/core/pipeline.ts` where stories are processed.
- [ ] Import `scrapeArticle` from `src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`.
- [ ] Import `logger`.
- [ ] Inside the loop (after comment fetching, before persistence steps):
- [ ] Check if `story.articleUrl` exists and starts with `http`.
- [ ] If invalid/missing:
- [ ] Log warning message.
- [ ] Set `story.articleContent = null`.
- [ ] If valid:
- [ ] Log attempt message.
- [ ] Call `const scrapedContent = await scrapeArticle(story.articleUrl)`.
- [ ] Set `story.articleContent = scrapedContent`.
- [ ] Log success (if `scrapedContent` is not null) or failure (if `scrapedContent` is null).
- [ ] Add temporary logging or use debugger to verify `articleContent` property in story objects (AC5).
## Testing Requirements
**Guidance:** Verify implementation against the ACs using the following tests.
- **Unit Tests:** [915]
- Unit test the modified pipeline logic in `src/core/pipeline.ts`. [916]
- Mock the `scrapeArticle` function. [918]
- Provide mock `Story` objects with and without valid `articleUrl`s.
- Verify that `scrapeArticle` is called only for stories with valid URLs [251].
- Verify that the correct URL is passed to `scrapeArticle`.
- Verify that the return value (mocked text or mocked null) from `scrapeArticle` is correctly assigned to the `story.articleContent` property [253].
- Verify that appropriate logs (skip warning, attempt, success/fail) are called based on the URL validity and mocked `scrapeArticle` result [250, 252].
- **Integration Tests:** Less emphasis here; Story 3.4 provides better integration testing for scraping. [921]
- **Manual/CLI Verification:** [912]
- Run `npm run dev`.
- Check console logs for "Attempting to scrape...", "Successfully scraped...", "Failed to scrape...", and "Skipping scraping..." messages [250, 252].
- Use debugger or temporary logging to inspect `story.articleContent` values during or after the pipeline run [253].
- _(Hint: See `docs/testing-strategy.md` [907-950] for the overall approach)._

# Story 3.3: Persist Scraped Article Text Locally
**Status:** Draft
## Goal & Context
**User Story:** As a developer, I want to save successfully scraped article text to a separate local file for each story, so that the text content is available as input for the summarization stage. [254]
**Context:** This story adds the persistence step for the article content scraped in Story 3.2. Following a successful scrape (where `story.articleContent` is not null), this logic writes the plain text content to a `.txt` file (`{storyId}_article.txt`) within the date-stamped output directory created in Epic 1. This ensures the scraped text is available for the next stage (Summarization - Epic 4) even if the main script is run in stages or needs to be restarted. No file should be created if scraping failed or was skipped. [49, 734, 735]
## Detailed Requirements
- Import Node.js `fs` (`writeFileSync`) and `path` modules if not already present in `src/core/pipeline.ts`. [255] Import logger.
- In the main workflow (`src/core/pipeline.ts`), within the loop processing each story, _after_ the scraping attempt (Story 3.2) is complete: [256]
- Check if `story.articleContent` is a non-null, non-empty string.
- If yes (scraping was successful and yielded content):
- Retrieve the full path to the current date-stamped output directory (available from setup). [256]
- Construct the filename: `{storyId}_article.txt`. [257]
- Construct the full file path using `path.join()`. [257]
- Get the successfully scraped article text string (`story.articleContent`). [258]
- Use `fs.writeFileSync(fullPath, story.articleContent, 'utf-8')` to save the text to the file. [259] Wrap this call in a `try...catch` block for file system errors. [260]
- Log the successful saving of the file (e.g., "Saved scraped article text to {filename}") or any file writing errors encountered, using the logger. [260]
- If `story.articleContent` is null or empty (scraping skipped or failed), ensure _no_ `_article.txt` file is created for this story. [261]
## Acceptance Criteria (ACs)
- AC1: After running `npm run dev`, the date-stamped output directory contains `_article.txt` files _only_ for those stories where `scrapeArticle` (from Story 3.1) succeeded and returned non-empty text content during the pipeline run (Story 3.2). [262]
- AC2: The name of each article text file is `{storyId}_article.txt`. [263]
- AC3: The content of each existing `_article.txt` file is the plain text string stored in `story.articleContent`. [264]
- AC4: Logs confirm the successful writing of each `_article.txt` file or report specific file writing errors. [265]
- AC5: No empty `_article.txt` files are created. Files only exist if scraping was successful and returned content. [266]
## Technical Implementation Context
**Guidance:** Use the following details for implementation. Refer to the linked `docs/` files for broader context if needed.
- **Relevant Files:**
- Files to Modify: `src/core/pipeline.ts`.
- _(Hint: See `docs/project-structure.md` [818])._
- **Key Technologies:**
- TypeScript [846], Node.js 22.x [851].
- Native `fs` module (`writeFileSync`). [259]
- Native `path` module (`join`). [257]
- Uses `logger` (Story 1.4).
- Uses output directory path (from Story 1.4 logic).
- Uses `story.articleContent` populated in Story 3.2.
- _(Hint: See `docs/tech-stack.md` [839-905])._
- **API Interactions / SDK Usage:**
- `fs.writeFileSync(fullPath, articleContentString, 'utf-8')`. [259]
- **Data Structures:**
- Checks `story.articleContent` (string | null).
- Defines output file format `{storyId}_article.txt` [541].
- _(Hint: See `docs/data-models.md` [506-517, 541])._
- **Environment Variables:**
- Relies on `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` being available (from Story 1.2/1.4).
- _(Hint: See `docs/environment-vars.md` [548-638])._
- **Coding Standards Notes:**
- Place the file writing logic immediately after the scraping result is known for a story.
- Use a clear `if (story.articleContent)` check. [256]
- Use `try...catch` around `fs.writeFileSync`. [260]
- Log success/failure clearly. [260]
## Tasks / Subtasks
- [ ] In `src/core/pipeline.ts`, ensure `fs` and `path` are imported. Ensure logger is imported.
- [ ] Ensure the output directory path is available within the story processing loop.
- [ ] Inside the loop, after `story.articleContent` is set (from Story 3.2):
- [ ] Add an `if (story.articleContent)` condition.
- [ ] Inside the `if` block:
- [ ] Construct filename: `{storyId}_article.txt`.
- [ ] Construct full path using `path.join`.
- [ ] Implement `try...catch`:
- [ ] `try`: Call `fs.writeFileSync(fullPath, story.articleContent, 'utf-8')`.
- [ ] `try`: Log success message.
- [ ] `catch`: Log error message.
## Testing Requirements
**Guidance:** Verify implementation against the ACs using the following tests.
- **Unit Tests:** [915]
- Difficult to unit test filesystem writes effectively. Focus on testing the _conditional logic_ within the pipeline function. [918]
- Mock `fs.writeFileSync`. Provide mock `Story` objects where `articleContent` is sometimes a string and sometimes null.
- Verify `fs.writeFileSync` is called _only when_ `articleContent` is a non-empty string. [262]
- Verify it's called with the correct path (`path.join(outputDir, storyId + '_article.txt')`) and content (`story.articleContent`). [263, 264]
- **Integration Tests:** [921]
- Use `mock-fs` or temporary directory setup/teardown. [924]
- Run the pipeline segment responsible for scraping (mocked) and saving.
- Verify that `.txt` files are created only for stories where the mocked scraper returned text.
- Verify file contents match the mocked text.
- **Manual/CLI Verification:** [912]
- Run `npm run dev`.
- Inspect the `output/YYYY-MM-DD/` directory.
- Check which `{storyId}_article.txt` files exist. Compare this against the console logs indicating successful/failed scraping attempts for corresponding story IDs. Verify files only exist for successful scrapes (AC1, AC5).
- Check filenames are correct (AC2).
- Open a few existing `.txt` files and spot-check the content (AC3).
- Check logs for file saving success/error messages (AC4).
- _(Hint: See `docs/testing-strategy.md` [907-950] for the overall approach)._

# Story 3.4: Implement Stage Testing Utility for Scraping
**Status:** Draft
## Goal & Context
**User Story:** As a developer, I want a separate script/command to test the article scraping logic using HN story data from local files, allowing independent testing and debugging of the scraper. [267]
**Context:** This story implements the standalone stage testing utility for Epic 3, as required by the PRD [736, 764]. It creates `src/stages/scrape_articles.ts`, which reads story data (specifically URLs) from the `{storyId}_data.json` files generated in Epic 2 (or by `stage:fetch`), calls the `scrapeArticle` function (from Story 3.1) for each URL, and persists any successfully scraped text to `{storyId}_article.txt` files (replicating Story 3.3 logic). This allows testing the scraping functionality against real websites using previously fetched story lists, without running the full pipeline or the HN fetching stage. [57, 63, 820, 912, 930]
## Detailed Requirements
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/scrape_articles.ts`. [268]
- Import necessary modules: `fs` (e.g., `readdirSync`, `readFileSync`, `writeFileSync`, `existsSync`, `statSync`), `path`, `logger` (Story 1.4), `config` (Story 1.2), `scrapeArticle` (Story 3.1), date util (Story 1.4). [269]
- The script should:
- Initialize the logger. [270]
- Load configuration (to get `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH`). [271]
- Determine the target date-stamped directory path (e.g., using current date via date util, or potentially allow override via CLI arg later - current date default is fine for now). [271] Ensure this base output directory exists. Log the target directory.
- Check if the target date-stamped directory exists. If not, log an error and exit ("Directory {path} not found. Run fetch stage first?").
- Read the directory contents and identify all files ending with `_data.json`. [272] Use `fs.readdirSync` and filter.
- For each `_data.json` file found:
- Construct the full path and read its content using `fs.readFileSync`. [273]
- Parse the JSON content. Handle potential parse errors gracefully (log error, skip file). [273]
- Extract the `storyId` and `articleUrl` from the parsed data. [274]
- If a valid `articleUrl` exists (starts with `http`): [274]
- Log the attempt: "Attempting scrape for story {storyId} from {url}...".
- Call `await scrapeArticle(articleUrl)`. [274]
- If scraping succeeds (returns a non-null string):
- Construct the output filename `{storyId}_article.txt`. [275]
- Construct the full output path. [275]
- Save the text to the file using `fs.writeFileSync` (replicating logic from Story 3.3, including try/catch and logging). [275] Overwrite if the file exists. [276]
- Log success outcome.
- If scraping fails (`scrapeArticle` returns null):
- Log failure outcome.
- If `articleUrl` is missing or invalid:
- Log skipping message.
- Log overall completion: "Scraping stage finished processing {N} data files.".
- Add a new script command to `package.json`: `"stage:scrape": "ts-node src/stages/scrape_articles.ts"`. [277]
## Acceptance Criteria (ACs)
- AC1: The file `src/stages/scrape_articles.ts` exists. [279]
- AC2: The script `stage:scrape` is defined in `package.json`'s `scripts` section. [280]
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:scrape` (assuming a date-stamped directory with `_data.json` files exists from a previous fetch run) successfully reads these JSON files. [281]
- AC4: The script calls `scrapeArticle` for stories with valid `articleUrl`s found in the JSON files. [282]
- AC5: The script creates or updates `{storyId}_article.txt` files in the _same_ date-stamped directory, corresponding only to successfully scraped articles. [283]
- AC6: The script logs its actions (reading files, attempting scraping, skipping, saving results/failures) for each story ID processed based on the found `_data.json` files. [284]
- AC7: The script operates solely based on local `_data.json` files as input and fetching from external article URLs via `scrapeArticle`; it does not call the Algolia HN API client. [285, 286]
## Technical Implementation Context
**Guidance:** Use the following details for implementation. Refer to the linked `docs/` files for broader context if needed.
- **Relevant Files:**
- Files to Create: `src/stages/scrape_articles.ts`.
- Files to Modify: `package.json`.
- _(Hint: See `docs/project-structure.md` [820] for stage runner location)._
- **Key Technologies:**
- TypeScript [846], Node.js 22.x [851], `ts-node`.
- Native `fs` module (`readdirSync`, `readFileSync`, `writeFileSync`, `existsSync`, `statSync`). [269]
- Native `path` module. [269]
- Uses `logger` (Story 1.4), `config` (Story 1.2), date util (Story 1.4), `scrapeArticle` (Story 3.1), persistence logic (Story 3.3).
- _(Hint: See `docs/tech-stack.md` [839-905])._
- **API Interactions / SDK Usage:**
- Calls internal `scrapeArticle(url)`.
- Uses `fs` module extensively for reading directory, reading JSON, writing TXT.
- **Data Structures:**
- Reads JSON structure from `_data.json` files [538-540]. Extracts `storyId`, `articleUrl`.
- Creates `{storyId}_article.txt` files [541].
- _(Hint: See `docs/data-models.md`)._
- **Environment Variables:**
- Reads `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` via `config.ts`. `scrapeArticle` might use others.
- _(Hint: See `docs/environment-vars.md` [548-638])._
- **Coding Standards Notes:**
- Structure script clearly (setup, read data files, loop, process/scrape/save).
- Use `async/await` for `scrapeArticle`.
- Implement robust error handling for file IO (reading dir, reading files, parsing JSON, writing files) using `try...catch` and logging.
- Use logger for detailed progress reporting. [284]
- Wrap main logic in an async IIFE or main function.
## Tasks / Subtasks
- [ ] Create `src/stages/scrape_articles.ts`.
- [ ] Add imports: `fs`, `path`, `logger`, `config`, `scrapeArticle`, date util.
- [ ] Implement setup: Init logger, load config, get output path, get target date-stamped path.
- [ ] Check if target date-stamped directory exists, log error and exit if not.
- [ ] Use `fs.readdirSync` to get list of files in the target directory.
- [ ] Filter the list to get only files ending in `_data.json`.
- [ ] Loop through the `_data.json` filenames:
- [ ] Construct full path for the JSON file.
- [ ] Use `try...catch` for reading and parsing the JSON file:
- [ ] `try`: Read file (`fs.readFileSync`). Parse JSON (`JSON.parse`).
- [ ] `catch`: Log error (read/parse), continue to next file.
- [ ] Extract `storyId` and `articleUrl`.
- [ ] Check if `articleUrl` is valid (starts with `http`).
- [ ] If valid:
- [ ] Log attempt.
- [ ] Call `content = await scrapeArticle(articleUrl)`.
- [ ] `if (content)`:
- [ ] Construct `.txt` output path.
- [ ] Use `try...catch` to write file (`fs.writeFileSync`). Log success/error.
- [ ] `else`: Log scrape failure.
- [ ] If URL invalid: Log skip.
- [ ] Log completion message.
- [ ] Add `"stage:scrape": "ts-node src/stages/scrape_articles.ts"` to `package.json`.
## Testing Requirements
**Guidance:** Verify implementation against the ACs using the following tests.
- **Unit Tests:** Difficult to unit test the entire script effectively due to heavy FS and orchestration logic. Focus on unit testing the core `scrapeArticle` module (Story 3.1) and utilities. [915]
- **Integration Tests:** N/A for the script itself. [921]
- **Manual/CLI Verification (Primary Test Method):** [912, 927, 930]
- Ensure `_data.json` files exist from `npm run stage:fetch` or `npm run dev`.
- Run `npm run stage:scrape`. [281]
- Verify successful execution.
- Check logs for reading files, skipping, attempting scrapes, success/failure messages, and saving messages [284].
- Inspect the `output/YYYY-MM-DD/` directory for newly created/updated `{storyId}_article.txt` files. Verify they correspond to stories where scraping succeeded according to logs [283, 285].
- Verify the script _only_ performed scraping actions based on local files (AC7).
- Modify `package.json` to add the script (AC2).
- _(Hint: See `docs/testing-strategy.md` [907-950] which identifies Stage Runners as a key part of Acceptance Testing)._
## Story Wrap Up (Agent Populates After Execution)
- **Agent Model Used:** `<Agent Model Name/Version>`
- **Completion Notes:** {Stage runner implemented. Reads \_data.json, calls scraper, saves \_article.txt conditionally. package.json updated.}
- **Change Log:**
- Initial Draft
```

# Epic 1: Project Initialization & Core Setup
**Goal:** Initialize the project using the "bmad-boilerplate", manage dependencies, setup `.env` and config loading, establish basic CLI entry point, setup basic logging and output directory structure. This provides the foundational setup for all subsequent development work.
## Story List
### Story 1.1: Initialize Project from Boilerplate
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to set up the initial project structure using the `bmad-boilerplate`, so that I have the standard tooling (TS, Jest, ESLint, Prettier), configurations, and scripts in place.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Copy or clone the contents of the `bmad-boilerplate` into the new project's root directory.
- Initialize a git repository in the project root directory (if not already done by cloning).
- Ensure the `.gitignore` file from the boilerplate is present.
- Run `npm install` to download and install all `devDependencies` specified in the boilerplate's `package.json`.
- Verify that the core boilerplate scripts (`lint`, `format`, `test`, `build`) execute without errors on the initial codebase.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The project directory contains the files and structure from `bmad-boilerplate`.
- AC2: A `node_modules` directory exists and contains packages corresponding to `devDependencies`.
- AC3: `npm run lint` command completes successfully without reporting any linting errors.
- AC4: `npm run format` command completes successfully, potentially making formatting changes according to Prettier rules. Running it a second time should result in no changes.
- AC5: `npm run test` command executes Jest successfully (it may report "no tests found" which is acceptable at this stage).
- AC6: `npm run build` command executes successfully, creating a `dist` directory containing compiled JavaScript output.
- AC7: The `.gitignore` file exists and includes entries for `node_modules/`, `.env`, `dist/`, etc. as specified in the boilerplate.
---
### Story 1.2: Setup Environment Configuration
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to establish the environment configuration mechanism using `.env` files, so that secrets and settings (like output paths) can be managed outside of version control, following boilerplate conventions.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Verify the `.env.example` file exists (from boilerplate).
- Add an initial configuration variable `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH=./output` to `.env.example`.
- Create the `.env` file locally by copying `.env.example`. Populate `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` if needed (can keep default).
- Implement a utility module (e.g., `src/config.ts`) that loads environment variables from the `.env` file at application startup.
- The utility should export the loaded configuration values (initially just `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH`).
- Ensure the `.env` file is listed in `.gitignore` and is not committed.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: Handle `.env` files with native node 22 support, no need for `dotenv`
- AC2: The `.env.example` file exists, is tracked by git, and contains the line `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH=./output`.
- AC3: The `.env` file exists locally but is NOT tracked by git.
- AC4: A configuration module (`src/config.ts` or similar) exists and successfully loads the `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` value from `.env` when the application starts.
- AC5: The loaded `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` value is accessible within the application code.
---
### Story 1.3: Implement Basic CLI Entry Point & Execution
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a basic `src/index.ts` entry point that can be executed via the boilerplate's `dev` and `start` scripts, providing a working foundation for the application logic.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create the main application entry point file at `src/index.ts`.
- Implement minimal code within `src/index.ts` to:
- Import the configuration loading mechanism (from Story 1.2).
- Log a simple startup message to the console (e.g., "BMad Hacker Daily Digest - Starting Up...").
- (Optional) Log the loaded `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` to verify config loading.
- Confirm execution using boilerplate scripts.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `src/index.ts` file exists.
- AC2: Running `npm run dev` executes `src/index.ts` via `ts-node` and logs the startup message to the console.
- AC3: Running `npm run build` successfully compiles `src/index.ts` (and any imports) into the `dist` directory.
- AC4: Running `npm start` (after a successful build) executes the compiled code from `dist` and logs the startup message to the console.
---
### Story 1.4: Setup Basic Logging and Output Directory
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a basic console logging mechanism and the dynamic creation of a date-stamped output directory, so that the application can provide execution feedback and prepare for storing data artifacts in subsequent epics.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Implement a simple, reusable logging utility module (e.g., `src/logger.ts`). Initially, it can wrap `console.log`, `console.warn`, `console.error`.
- Refactor `src/index.ts` to use this `logger` for its startup message(s).
- In `src/index.ts` (or a setup function called by it):
- Retrieve the `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` from the configuration (loaded in Story 1.2).
- Determine the current date in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format.
- Construct the full path for the date-stamped subdirectory (e.g., `${OUTPUT_DIR_PATH}/YYYY-MM-DD`).
- Check if the base output directory exists; if not, create it.
- Check if the date-stamped subdirectory exists; if not, create it recursively. Use Node.js `fs` module (e.g., `fs.mkdirSync(path, { recursive: true })`).
- Log (using the logger) the full path of the output directory being used for the current run (e.g., "Output directory for this run: ./output/2025-05-04").
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: A logger utility module (`src/logger.ts` or similar) exists and is used for console output in `src/index.ts`.
- AC2: Running `npm run dev` or `npm start` logs the startup message via the logger.
- AC3: Running the application creates the base output directory (e.g., `./output` defined in `.env`) if it doesn't already exist.
- AC4: Running the application creates a date-stamped subdirectory (e.g., `./output/2025-05-04`) within the base output directory if it doesn't already exist.
- AC5: The application logs a message indicating the full path to the date-stamped output directory created/used for the current execution.
- AC6: The application exits gracefully after performing these setup steps (for now).

# Epic 2: HN Data Acquisition & Persistence
**Goal:** Implement fetching top 10 stories and their comments (respecting limits) from Algolia HN API, and persist this raw data locally into the date-stamped output directory created in Epic 1. Implement a stage testing utility for fetching.
## Story List
### Story 2.1: Implement Algolia HN API Client
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a dedicated client module to interact with the Algolia Hacker News Search API, so that fetching stories and comments is encapsulated, reusable, and uses the required native `Workspace` API.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new module: `src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts`.
- Implement an async function `WorkspaceTopStories` within the client:
- Use native `Workspace` to call the Algolia HN Search API endpoint for front-page stories (e.g., `http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=front_page&hitsPerPage=10`). Adjust `hitsPerPage` if needed to ensure 10 stories.
- Parse the JSON response.
- Extract required metadata for each story: `objectID` (use as `storyId`), `title`, `url` (article URL), `points`, `num_comments`. Handle potential missing `url` field gracefully (log warning, maybe skip story later if URL needed).
- Construct the `hnUrl` for each story (e.g., `https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id={storyId}`).
- Return an array of structured story objects.
- Implement a separate async function `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` within the client:
- Accept `storyId` and `maxComments` limit as arguments.
- Use native `Workspace` to call the Algolia HN Search API endpoint for comments of a specific story (e.g., `http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=comment,story_{storyId}&hitsPerPage={maxComments}`).
- Parse the JSON response.
- Extract required comment data: `objectID` (use as `commentId`), `comment_text`, `author`, `created_at`.
- Filter out comments where `comment_text` is null or empty. Ensure only up to `maxComments` are returned.
- Return an array of structured comment objects.
- Implement basic error handling using `try...catch` around `Workspace` calls and check `response.ok` status. Log errors using the logger utility from Epic 1.
- Define TypeScript interfaces/types for the expected structures of API responses (stories, comments) and the data returned by the client functions (e.g., `Story`, `Comment`).
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The module `src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts` exists and exports `WorkspaceTopStories` and `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` functions.
- AC2: Calling `WorkspaceTopStories` makes a network request to the correct Algolia endpoint and returns a promise resolving to an array of 10 `Story` objects containing the specified metadata.
- AC3: Calling `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` with a valid `storyId` and `maxComments` limit makes a network request to the correct Algolia endpoint and returns a promise resolving to an array of `Comment` objects (up to `maxComments`), filtering out empty ones.
- AC4: Both functions use the native `Workspace` API internally.
- AC5: Network errors or non-successful API responses (e.g., status 4xx, 5xx) are caught and logged using the logger.
- AC6: Relevant TypeScript types (`Story`, `Comment`, etc.) are defined and used within the client module.
---
### Story 2.2: Integrate HN Data Fetching into Main Workflow
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to integrate the HN data fetching logic into the main application workflow (`src/index.ts`), so that running the app retrieves the top 10 stories and their comments after completing the setup from Epic 1.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts` (or a main async function called by it).
- Import the `algoliaHNClient` functions.
- Import the configuration module to access `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- After the Epic 1 setup (config load, logger init, output dir creation), call `WorkspaceTopStories()`.
- Log the number of stories fetched.
- Iterate through the array of fetched `Story` objects.
- For each `Story`, call `WorkspaceCommentsForStory()`, passing the `story.storyId` and the configured `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- Store the fetched comments within the corresponding `Story` object in memory (e.g., add a `comments: Comment[]` property to the `Story` object).
- Log progress using the logger utility (e.g., "Fetched 10 stories.", "Fetching up to X comments for story {storyId}...").
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes Epic 1 setup steps followed by fetching stories and then comments for each story.
- AC2: Logs clearly show the start and successful completion of fetching stories, and the start of fetching comments for each of the 10 stories.
- AC3: The configured `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` value is read from config and used in the calls to `WorkspaceCommentsForStory`.
- AC4: After successful execution, story objects held in memory contain a nested array of fetched comment objects. (Can be verified via debugger or temporary logging).
---
### Story 2.3: Persist Fetched HN Data Locally
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to save the fetched HN stories (including their comments) to JSON files in the date-stamped output directory, so that the raw data is persisted locally for subsequent pipeline stages and debugging.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Define a consistent JSON structure for the output file content. Example: `{ storyId: "...", title: "...", url: "...", hnUrl: "...", points: ..., fetchedAt: "ISO_TIMESTAMP", comments: [{ commentId: "...", text: "...", author: "...", createdAt: "ISO_TIMESTAMP", ... }, ...] }`. Include a timestamp for when the data was fetched.
- Import Node.js `fs` (specifically `fs.writeFileSync`) and `path` modules.
- In the main workflow (`src/index.ts`), within the loop iterating through stories (after comments have been fetched and added to the story object in Story 2.2):
- Get the full path to the date-stamped output directory (determined in Epic 1).
- Construct the filename for the story's data: `{storyId}_data.json`.
- Construct the full file path using `path.join()`.
- Serialize the complete story object (including comments and fetch timestamp) to a JSON string using `JSON.stringify(storyObject, null, 2)` for readability.
- Write the JSON string to the file using `fs.writeFileSync()`. Use a `try...catch` block for error handling.
- Log (using the logger) the successful persistence of each story's data file or any errors encountered during file writing.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: After running `npm run dev`, the date-stamped output directory (e.g., `./output/YYYY-MM-DD/`) contains exactly 10 files named `{storyId}_data.json`.
- AC2: Each JSON file contains valid JSON representing a single story object, including its metadata, fetch timestamp, and an array of its fetched comments, matching the defined structure.
- AC3: The number of comments in each file's `comments` array does not exceed `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- AC4: Logs indicate that saving data to a file was attempted for each story, reporting success or specific file writing errors.
---
### Story 2.4: Implement Stage Testing Utility for HN Fetching
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate, executable script that *only* performs the HN data fetching and persistence, so I can test and trigger this stage independently of the full pipeline.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts`.
- This script should perform the essential setup required for this stage: initialize logger, load configuration (`.env`), determine and create output directory (reuse or replicate logic from Epic 1 / `src/index.ts`).
- The script should then execute the core logic of fetching stories via `algoliaHNClient.fetchTopStories`, fetching comments via `algoliaHNClient.fetchCommentsForStory` (using loaded config for limit), and persisting the results to JSON files using `fs.writeFileSync` (replicating logic from Story 2.3).
- The script should log its progress using the logger utility.
- Add a new script command to `package.json` under `"scripts"`: `"stage:fetch": "ts-node src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts"`.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The file `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts` exists.
- AC2: The script `stage:fetch` is defined in `package.json`'s `scripts` section.
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:fetch` executes successfully, performing only the setup, fetch, and persist steps.
- AC4: Running `npm run stage:fetch` creates the same 10 `{storyId}_data.json` files in the correct date-stamped output directory as running the main `npm run dev` command (at the current state of development).
- AC5: Logs generated by `npm run stage:fetch` reflect only the fetching and persisting steps, not subsequent pipeline stages.

- Define TypeScript interfaces/types for the expected structures of API responses (stories, comments) and the data returned by the client functions (e.g., `Story`, `Comment`).
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The module `src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts` exists and exports `WorkspaceTopStories` and `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` functions.
- AC2: Calling `WorkspaceTopStories` makes a network request to the correct Algolia endpoint and returns a promise resolving to an array of 10 `Story` objects containing the specified metadata.
- AC3: Calling `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` with a valid `storyId` and `maxComments` limit makes a network request to the correct Algolia endpoint and returns a promise resolving to an array of `Comment` objects (up to `maxComments`), filtering out empty ones.
- AC4: Both functions use the native `Workspace` API internally.
- AC5: Network errors or non-successful API responses (e.g., status 4xx, 5xx) are caught and logged using the logger.
- AC6: Relevant TypeScript types (`Story`, `Comment`, etc.) are defined and used within the client module.

### Story 2.2: Integrate HN Data Fetching into Main Workflow
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to integrate the HN data fetching logic into the main application workflow (`src/index.ts`), so that running the app retrieves the top 10 stories and their comments after completing the setup from Epic 1.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts` (or a main async function called by it).
- Import the `algoliaHNClient` functions.
- Import the configuration module to access `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- After the Epic 1 setup (config load, logger init, output dir creation), call `WorkspaceTopStories()`.
- Log the number of stories fetched.
- Iterate through the array of fetched `Story` objects.
- For each `Story`, call `WorkspaceCommentsForStory()`, passing the `story.storyId` and the configured `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- Store the fetched comments within the corresponding `Story` object in memory (e.g., add a `comments: Comment[]` property to the `Story` object).
- Log progress using the logger utility (e.g., "Fetched 10 stories.", "Fetching up to X comments for story {storyId}...").
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes Epic 1 setup steps followed by fetching stories and then comments for each story.
- AC2: Logs clearly show the start and successful completion of fetching stories, and the start of fetching comments for each of the 10 stories.
- AC3: The configured `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` value is read from config and used in the calls to `WorkspaceCommentsForStory`.
- AC4: After successful execution, story objects held in memory contain a nested array of fetched comment objects. (Can be verified via debugger or temporary logging).
---
### Story 2.3: Persist Fetched HN Data Locally
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to save the fetched HN stories (including their comments) to JSON files in the date-stamped output directory, so that the raw data is persisted locally for subsequent pipeline stages and debugging.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Define a consistent JSON structure for the output file content. Example: `{ storyId: "...", title: "...", url: "...", hnUrl: "...", points: ..., fetchedAt: "ISO_TIMESTAMP", comments: [{ commentId: "...", text: "...", author: "...", createdAt: "ISO_TIMESTAMP", ... }, ...] }`. Include a timestamp for when the data was fetched.
- Import Node.js `fs` (specifically `fs.writeFileSync`) and `path` modules.
- In the main workflow (`src/index.ts`), within the loop iterating through stories (after comments have been fetched and added to the story object in Story 2.2):
- Get the full path to the date-stamped output directory (determined in Epic 1).
- Construct the filename for the story's data: `{storyId}_data.json`.
- Construct the full file path using `path.join()`.
- Serialize the complete story object (including comments and fetch timestamp) to a JSON string using `JSON.stringify(storyObject, null, 2)` for readability.
- Write the JSON string to the file using `fs.writeFileSync()`. Use a `try...catch` block for error handling.
- Log (using the logger) the successful persistence of each story's data file or any errors encountered during file writing.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: After running `npm run dev`, the date-stamped output directory (e.g., `./output/YYYY-MM-DD/`) contains exactly 10 files named `{storyId}_data.json`.
- AC2: Each JSON file contains valid JSON representing a single story object, including its metadata, fetch timestamp, and an array of its fetched comments, matching the defined structure.
- AC3: The number of comments in each file's `comments` array does not exceed `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- AC4: Logs indicate that saving data to a file was attempted for each story, reporting success or specific file writing errors.
---
### Story 2.4: Implement Stage Testing Utility for HN Fetching
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate, executable script that *only* performs the HN data fetching and persistence, so I can test and trigger this stage independently of the full pipeline.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts`.
- This script should perform the essential setup required for this stage: initialize logger, load configuration (`.env`), determine and create output directory (reuse or replicate logic from Epic 1 / `src/index.ts`).
- The script should then execute the core logic of fetching stories via `algoliaHNClient.fetchTopStories`, fetching comments via `algoliaHNClient.fetchCommentsForStory` (using loaded config for limit), and persisting the results to JSON files using `fs.writeFileSync` (replicating logic from Story 2.3).
- The script should log its progress using the logger utility.
- Add a new script command to `package.json` under `"scripts"`: `"stage:fetch": "ts-node src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts"`.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The file `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts` exists.
- AC2: The script `stage:fetch` is defined in `package.json`'s `scripts` section.
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:fetch` executes successfully, performing only the setup, fetch, and persist steps.
- AC4: Running `npm run stage:fetch` creates the same 10 `{storyId}_data.json` files in the correct date-stamped output directory as running the main `npm run dev` command (at the current state of development).
- AC5: Logs generated by `npm run stage:fetch` reflect only the fetching and persisting steps, not subsequent pipeline stages.

# Epic 3: Article Scraping & Persistence
**Goal:** Implement a best-effort article scraping mechanism to fetch and extract plain text content from the external URLs associated with fetched HN stories. Handle failures gracefully and persist successfully scraped text locally. Implement a stage testing utility for scraping.
## Story List
### Story 3.1: Implement Basic Article Scraper Module
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a module that attempts to fetch HTML from a URL and extract the main article text using basic methods, handling common failures gracefully, so article content can be prepared for summarization.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new module: `src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`.
- Add a suitable HTML parsing/extraction library dependency (e.g., `@extractus/article-extractor` recommended for simplicity, or `cheerio` for more control). Run `npm install @extractus/article-extractor --save-prod` (or chosen alternative).
- Implement an async function `scrapeArticle(url: string): Promise<string | null>` within the module.
- Inside the function:
- Use native `Workspace` to retrieve content from the `url`. Set a reasonable timeout (e.g., 10-15 seconds). Include a `User-Agent` header to mimic a browser.
- Handle potential `Workspace` errors (network errors, timeouts) using `try...catch`.
- Check the `response.ok` status. If not okay, log error and return `null`.
- Check the `Content-Type` header of the response. If it doesn't indicate HTML (e.g., does not include `text/html`), log warning and return `null`.
- If HTML is received, attempt to extract the main article text using the chosen library (`article-extractor` preferred).
- Wrap the extraction logic in a `try...catch` to handle library-specific errors.
- Return the extracted plain text string if successful. Ensure it's just text, not HTML markup.
- Return `null` if extraction fails or results in empty content.
- Log all significant events, errors, or reasons for returning null (e.g., "Scraping URL...", "Fetch failed:", "Non-HTML content type:", "Extraction failed:", "Successfully extracted text") using the logger utility.
- Define TypeScript types/interfaces as needed.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `articleScraper.ts` module exists and exports the `scrapeArticle` function.
- AC2: The chosen scraping library (e.g., `@extractus/article-extractor`) is added to `dependencies` in `package.json`.
- AC3: `scrapeArticle` uses native `Workspace` with a timeout and User-Agent header.
- AC4: `scrapeArticle` correctly handles fetch errors, non-OK responses, and non-HTML content types by logging and returning `null`.
- AC5: `scrapeArticle` uses the chosen library to attempt text extraction from valid HTML content.
- AC6: `scrapeArticle` returns the extracted plain text on success, and `null` on any failure (fetch, non-HTML, extraction error, empty result).
- AC7: Relevant logs are produced for success, failure modes, and errors encountered during the process.
---
### Story 3.2: Integrate Article Scraping into Main Workflow
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to integrate the article scraper into the main workflow (`src/index.ts`), attempting to scrape the article for each HN story that has a valid URL, after fetching its data.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts`.
- Import the `scrapeArticle` function from `src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`.
- Within the main loop iterating through the fetched stories (after comments are fetched in Epic 2):
- Check if `story.url` exists and appears to be a valid HTTP/HTTPS URL. A simple check for starting with `http://` or `https://` is sufficient.
- If the URL is missing or invalid, log a warning ("Skipping scraping for story {storyId}: Missing or invalid URL") and proceed to the next story's processing step.
- If a valid URL exists, log ("Attempting to scrape article for story {storyId} from {story.url}").
- Call `await scrapeArticle(story.url)`.
- Store the result (the extracted text string or `null`) in memory, associated with the story object (e.g., add property `articleContent: string | null`).
- Log the outcome clearly (e.g., "Successfully scraped article for story {storyId}", "Failed to scrape article for story {storyId}").
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes Epic 1 & 2 steps, and then attempts article scraping for stories with valid URLs.
- AC2: Stories with missing or invalid URLs are skipped, and a corresponding log message is generated.
- AC3: For stories with valid URLs, the `scrapeArticle` function is called.
- AC4: Logs clearly indicate the start and success/failure outcome of the scraping attempt for each relevant story.
- AC5: Story objects held in memory after this stage contain an `articleContent` property holding the scraped text (string) or `null` if scraping was skipped or failed.
---
### Story 3.3: Persist Scraped Article Text Locally
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to save successfully scraped article text to a separate local file for each story, so that the text content is available as input for the summarization stage.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Import Node.js `fs` and `path` modules if not already present in `src/index.ts`.
- In the main workflow (`src/index.ts`), immediately after a successful call to `scrapeArticle` for a story (where the result is a non-null string):
- Retrieve the full path to the current date-stamped output directory.
- Construct the filename: `{storyId}_article.txt`.
- Construct the full file path using `path.join()`.
- Get the successfully scraped article text string (`articleContent`).
- Use `fs.writeFileSync(fullPath, articleContent, 'utf-8')` to save the text to the file. Wrap in `try...catch` for file system errors.
- Log the successful saving of the file (e.g., "Saved scraped article text to {filename}") or any file writing errors encountered.
- Ensure *no* `_article.txt` file is created if `scrapeArticle` returned `null` (due to skipping or failure).
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: After running `npm run dev`, the date-stamped output directory contains `_article.txt` files *only* for those stories where `scrapeArticle` succeeded and returned text content.
- AC2: The name of each article text file is `{storyId}_article.txt`.
- AC3: The content of each `_article.txt` file is the plain text string returned by `scrapeArticle`.
- AC4: Logs confirm the successful writing of each `_article.txt` file or report specific file writing errors.
- AC5: No empty `_article.txt` files are created. Files only exist if scraping was successful.
---
### Story 3.4: Implement Stage Testing Utility for Scraping
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate script/command to test the article scraping logic using HN story data from local files, allowing independent testing and debugging of the scraper.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/scrape_articles.ts`.
- Import necessary modules: `fs`, `path`, `logger`, `config`, `scrapeArticle`.
- The script should:
- Initialize the logger.
- Load configuration (to get `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH`).
- Determine the target date-stamped directory path (e.g., `${OUTPUT_DIR_PATH}/YYYY-MM-DD`, using the current date or potentially an optional CLI argument). Ensure this directory exists.
- Read the directory contents and identify all `{storyId}_data.json` files.
- For each `_data.json` file found:
- Read and parse the JSON content.
- Extract the `storyId` and `url`.
- If a valid `url` exists, call `await scrapeArticle(url)`.
- If scraping succeeds (returns text), save the text to `{storyId}_article.txt` in the same directory (using logic from Story 3.3). Overwrite if the file exists.
- Log the progress and outcome (skip/success/fail) for each story processed.
- Add a new script command to `package.json`: `"stage:scrape": "ts-node src/stages/scrape_articles.ts"`. Consider adding argument parsing later if needed to specify a date/directory.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The file `src/stages/scrape_articles.ts` exists.
- AC2: The script `stage:scrape` is defined in `package.json`.
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:scrape` (assuming a directory with `_data.json` files exists from a previous `stage:fetch` run) reads these files.
- AC4: The script calls `scrapeArticle` for stories with valid URLs found in the JSON files.
- AC5: The script creates/updates `{storyId}_article.txt` files in the target directory corresponding to successfully scraped articles.
- AC6: The script logs its actions (reading files, attempting scraping, saving results) for each story ID processed.
- AC7: The script operates solely based on local `_data.json` files and fetching from external article URLs; it does not call the Algolia HN API.

# Epic 4: LLM Summarization & Persistence
**Goal:** Integrate with the configured local Ollama instance to generate summaries for successfully scraped article text and fetched comments. Persist these summaries locally. Implement a stage testing utility for summarization.
## Story List
### Story 4.1: Implement Ollama Client Module
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a client module to interact with the configured Ollama API endpoint via HTTP, handling requests and responses for text generation, so that summaries can be generated programmatically.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- **Prerequisite:** Ensure a local Ollama instance is installed and running, accessible via the URL defined in `.env` (`OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL`), and that the model specified in `.env` (`OLLAMA_MODEL`) has been downloaded (e.g., via `ollama pull model_name`). Instructions for this setup should be in the project README.
- Create a new module: `src/clients/ollamaClient.ts`.
- Implement an async function `generateSummary(promptTemplate: string, content: string): Promise<string | null>`. *(Note: Parameter name changed for clarity)*
- Add configuration variables `OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL` (e.g., `http://localhost:11434`) and `OLLAMA_MODEL` (e.g., `llama3`) to `.env.example`. Ensure they are loaded via the config module (`src/utils/config.ts`). Update local `.env` with actual values. Add optional `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS` to `.env.example` with a default like `120000`.
- Inside `generateSummary`:
- Construct the full prompt string using the `promptTemplate` and the provided `content` (e.g., replacing a placeholder like `{Content Placeholder}` in the template, or simple concatenation if templates are basic).
- Construct the Ollama API request payload (JSON): `{ model: configured_model, prompt: full_prompt, stream: false }`. Refer to Ollama `/api/generate` documentation and `docs/data-models.md`.
- Use native `Workspace` to send a POST request to the configured Ollama endpoint + `/api/generate`. Set appropriate headers (`Content-Type: application/json`). Use the configured `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS` or a reasonable default (e.g., 2 minutes).
- Handle `Workspace` errors (network, timeout) using `try...catch`.
- Check `response.ok`. If not OK, log the status/error and return `null`.
- Parse the JSON response from Ollama. Extract the generated text (typically in the `response` field). Refer to `docs/data-models.md`.
- Check for potential errors within the Ollama response structure itself (e.g., an `error` field).
- Return the extracted summary string on success. Return `null` on any failure.
- Log key events: initiating request (mention model), receiving response, success, failure reasons, potentially request/response time using the logger.
- Define necessary TypeScript types for the Ollama request payload and expected response structure in `src/types/ollama.ts` (referenced in `docs/data-models.md`).
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `ollamaClient.ts` module exists and exports `generateSummary`.
- AC2: `OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL` and `OLLAMA_MODEL` are defined in `.env.example`, loaded via config, and used by the client. Optional `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS` is handled.
- AC3: `generateSummary` sends a correctly formatted POST request (model, full prompt based on template and content, stream:false) to the configured Ollama endpoint/path using native `Workspace`.
- AC4: Network errors, timeouts, and non-OK API responses are handled gracefully, logged, and result in a `null` return (given the Prerequisite Ollama service is running).
- AC5: A successful Ollama response is parsed correctly, the generated text is extracted, and returned as a string.
* AC6: Unexpected Ollama response formats or internal errors (e.g., `{"error": "..."}`) are handled, logged, and result in a `null` return.
* AC7: Logs provide visibility into the client's interaction with the Ollama API.
---
### Story 4.2: Define Summarization Prompts
* **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want standardized base prompts for generating article summaries and HN discussion summaries documented centrally, ensuring consistent instructions are sent to the LLM.
* **Detailed Requirements:**
* Define two standardized base prompts (`ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT`, `DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT`) **and document them in `docs/prompts.md`**.
* Ensure these prompts are accessible within the application code, for example, by defining them as exported constants in a dedicated module like `src/utils/prompts.ts`, which reads from or mirrors the content in `docs/prompts.md`.
* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
* AC1: The `ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT` text is defined in `docs/prompts.md` with appropriate instructional content.
* AC2: The `DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT` text is defined in `docs/prompts.md` with appropriate instructional content.
* AC3: The prompt texts documented in `docs/prompts.md` are available as constants or variables within the application code (e.g., via `src/utils/prompts.ts`) for use by the Ollama client integration.
---
### Story 4.3: Integrate Summarization into Main Workflow
* **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to integrate the Ollama client into the main workflow to generate summaries for each story's scraped article text (if available) and fetched comments, using centrally defined prompts and handling potential comment length limits.
* **Detailed Requirements:**
* Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts` or `src/core/pipeline.ts`.
* Import `ollamaClient.generateSummary` and the prompt constants/variables (e.g., from `src/utils/prompts.ts`, which reflect `docs/prompts.md`).
* Load the optional `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` configuration value from `.env` via the config utility.
* Within the main loop iterating through stories (after article scraping/persistence in Epic 3):
* **Article Summary Generation:**
* Check if the `story` object has non-null `articleContent`.
* If yes: log "Attempting article summarization for story {storyId}", call `await generateSummary(ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT, story.articleContent)`, store the result (string or null) as `story.articleSummary`, log success/failure.
* If no: set `story.articleSummary = null`, log "Skipping article summarization: No content".
* **Discussion Summary Generation:**
* Check if the `story` object has a non-empty `comments` array.
* If yes:
* Format the `story.comments` array into a single text block suitable for the LLM prompt (e.g., concatenating `comment.text` with separators like `---`).
* **Check truncation limit:** If `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` is configured to a positive number and the `formattedCommentsText` length exceeds it, truncate `formattedCommentsText` to the limit and log a warning: "Comment text truncated to {limit} characters for summarization for story {storyId}".
* Log "Attempting discussion summarization for story {storyId}".
* Call `await generateSummary(DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT, formattedCommentsText)`. *(Pass the potentially truncated text)*
* Store the result (string or null) as `story.discussionSummary`. Log success/failure.
* If no: set `story.discussionSummary = null`, log "Skipping discussion summarization: No comments".
* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
* AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes steps from Epics 1-3, then attempts summarization using the Ollama client.
* AC2: Article summary is attempted only if `articleContent` exists for a story.
* AC3: Discussion summary is attempted only if `comments` exist for a story.
* AC4: `generateSummary` is called with the correct prompts (sourced consistently with `docs/prompts.md`) and corresponding content (article text or formatted/potentially truncated comments).
* AC5: If `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` is set and comment text exceeds it, the text passed to `generateSummary` is truncated, and a warning is logged.
* AC6: Logs clearly indicate the start, success, or failure (including null returns from the client) for both article and discussion summarization attempts per story.
* AC7: Story objects in memory now contain `articleSummary` (string/null) and `discussionSummary` (string/null) properties.

### Story 4.4: Persist Generated Summaries Locally
*(No changes needed for this story based on recent decisions)*
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to save the generated article and discussion summaries (or null placeholders) to a local JSON file for each story, making them available for the email assembly stage.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Define the structure for the summary output file: `{storyId}_summary.json`. Content example: `{ "storyId": "...", "articleSummary": "...", "discussionSummary": "...", "summarizedAt": "ISO_TIMESTAMP" }`. Note that `articleSummary` and `discussionSummary` can be `null`.
- Import `fs` and `path` in `src/index.ts` or `src/core/pipeline.ts` if needed.
- In the main workflow loop, after *both* summarization attempts (article and discussion) for a story are complete:
- Create a summary result object containing `storyId`, `articleSummary` (string or null), `discussionSummary` (string or null), and the current ISO timestamp (`new Date().toISOString()`). Add this timestamp to the in-memory `story` object as well (`story.summarizedAt`).
- Get the full path to the date-stamped output directory.
- Construct the filename: `{storyId}_summary.json`.
- Construct the full file path using `path.join()`.
- Serialize the summary result object to JSON (`JSON.stringify(..., null, 2)`).
- Use `fs.writeFileSync` to save the JSON to the file, wrapping in `try...catch`.
- Log the successful saving of the summary file or any file writing errors.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: After running `npm run dev`, the date-stamped output directory contains 10 files named `{storyId}_summary.json`.
- AC2: Each `_summary.json` file contains valid JSON adhering to the defined structure.
- AC3: The `articleSummary` field contains the generated summary string if successful, otherwise `null`.
- AC4: The `discussionSummary` field contains the generated summary string if successful, otherwise `null`.
- AC5: A valid ISO timestamp is present in the `summarizedAt` field.
- AC6: Logs confirm successful writing of each summary file or report file system errors.

### Story 4.5: Implement Stage Testing Utility for Summarization
*(Changes needed to reflect prompt sourcing and optional truncation)*
* **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate script/command to test the LLM summarization logic using locally persisted data (HN comments, scraped article text), allowing independent testing of prompts and Ollama interaction.
* **Detailed Requirements:**
* Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/summarize_content.ts`.
* Import necessary modules: `fs`, `path`, `logger`, `config`, `ollamaClient`, prompt constants (e.g., from `src/utils/prompts.ts`).
* The script should:
* Initialize logger, load configuration (Ollama endpoint/model, output dir, **optional `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY`**).
* Determine target date-stamped directory path.
* Find all `{storyId}_data.json` files in the directory.
* For each `storyId` found:
* Read `{storyId}_data.json` to get comments. Format them into a single text block.
* *Attempt* to read `{storyId}_article.txt`. Handle file-not-found gracefully. Store content or null.
* Call `ollamaClient.generateSummary` for article text (if not null) using `ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT`.
* **Apply truncation logic:** If comments exist, check `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` and truncate the formatted comment text block if needed, logging a warning.
* Call `ollamaClient.generateSummary` for formatted comments (if comments exist) using `DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT` *(passing potentially truncated text)*.
* Construct the summary result object (with summaries or nulls, and timestamp).
* Save the result object to `{storyId}_summary.json` in the same directory (using logic from Story 4.4), overwriting if exists.
* Log progress (reading files, calling Ollama, truncation warnings, saving results) for each story ID.
* Add script to `package.json`: `"stage:summarize": "ts-node src/stages/summarize_content.ts"`.
* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
* AC1: The file `src/stages/summarize_content.ts` exists.
* AC2: The script `stage:summarize` is defined in `package.json`.
* AC3: Running `npm run stage:summarize` (after `stage:fetch` and `stage:scrape` runs) reads `_data.json` and attempts to read `_article.txt` files from the target directory.
* AC4: The script calls the `ollamaClient` with correct prompts (sourced consistently with `docs/prompts.md`) and content derived *only* from the local files (requires Ollama service running per Story 4.1 prerequisite).
* AC5: If `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` is set and applicable, comment text is truncated before calling the client, and a warning is logged.
* AC6: The script creates/updates `{storyId}_summary.json` files in the target directory reflecting the results of the Ollama calls (summaries or nulls).
* AC7: Logs show the script processing each story ID found locally, interacting with Ollama, and saving results.
* AC8: The script does not call Algolia API or the article scraper module.

# Epic 4: LLM Summarization & Persistence
**Goal:** Integrate with the configured local Ollama instance to generate summaries for successfully scraped article text and fetched comments. Persist these summaries locally. Implement a stage testing utility for summarization.
## Story List
### Story 4.1: Implement Ollama Client Module
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a client module to interact with the configured Ollama API endpoint via HTTP, handling requests and responses for text generation, so that summaries can be generated programmatically.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- **Prerequisite:** Ensure a local Ollama instance is installed and running, accessible via the URL defined in `.env` (`OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL`), and that the model specified in `.env` (`OLLAMA_MODEL`) has been downloaded (e.g., via `ollama pull model_name`). Instructions for this setup should be in the project README.
- Create a new module: `src/clients/ollamaClient.ts`.
- Implement an async function `generateSummary(promptTemplate: string, content: string): Promise<string | null>`. *(Note: Parameter name changed for clarity)*
- Add configuration variables `OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL` (e.g., `http://localhost:11434`) and `OLLAMA_MODEL` (e.g., `llama3`) to `.env.example`. Ensure they are loaded via the config module (`src/utils/config.ts`). Update local `.env` with actual values. Add optional `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS` to `.env.example` with a default like `120000`.
- Inside `generateSummary`:
- Construct the full prompt string using the `promptTemplate` and the provided `content` (e.g., replacing a placeholder like `{Content Placeholder}` in the template, or simple concatenation if templates are basic).
- Construct the Ollama API request payload (JSON): `{ model: configured_model, prompt: full_prompt, stream: false }`. Refer to Ollama `/api/generate` documentation and `docs/data-models.md`.
- Use native `Workspace` to send a POST request to the configured Ollama endpoint + `/api/generate`. Set appropriate headers (`Content-Type: application/json`). Use the configured `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS` or a reasonable default (e.g., 2 minutes).
- Handle `Workspace` errors (network, timeout) using `try...catch`.
- Check `response.ok`. If not OK, log the status/error and return `null`.
- Parse the JSON response from Ollama. Extract the generated text (typically in the `response` field). Refer to `docs/data-models.md`.
- Check for potential errors within the Ollama response structure itself (e.g., an `error` field).
- Return the extracted summary string on success. Return `null` on any failure.
- Log key events: initiating request (mention model), receiving response, success, failure reasons, potentially request/response time using the logger.
- Define necessary TypeScript types for the Ollama request payload and expected response structure in `src/types/ollama.ts` (referenced in `docs/data-models.md`).
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `ollamaClient.ts` module exists and exports `generateSummary`.
- AC2: `OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL` and `OLLAMA_MODEL` are defined in `.env.example`, loaded via config, and used by the client. Optional `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS` is handled.
- AC3: `generateSummary` sends a correctly formatted POST request (model, full prompt based on template and content, stream:false) to the configured Ollama endpoint/path using native `Workspace`.
- AC4: Network errors, timeouts, and non-OK API responses are handled gracefully, logged, and result in a `null` return (given the Prerequisite Ollama service is running).
- AC5: A successful Ollama response is parsed correctly, the generated text is extracted, and returned as a string.
* AC6: Unexpected Ollama response formats or internal errors (e.g., `{"error": "..."}`) are handled, logged, and result in a `null` return.
* AC7: Logs provide visibility into the client's interaction with the Ollama API.
---
### Story 4.2: Define Summarization Prompts
* **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want standardized base prompts for generating article summaries and HN discussion summaries documented centrally, ensuring consistent instructions are sent to the LLM.
* **Detailed Requirements:**
* Define two standardized base prompts (`ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT`, `DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT`) **and document them in `docs/prompts.md`**.
* Ensure these prompts are accessible within the application code, for example, by defining them as exported constants in a dedicated module like `src/utils/prompts.ts`, which reads from or mirrors the content in `docs/prompts.md`.
* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
* AC1: The `ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT` text is defined in `docs/prompts.md` with appropriate instructional content.
* AC2: The `DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT` text is defined in `docs/prompts.md` with appropriate instructional content.
* AC3: The prompt texts documented in `docs/prompts.md` are available as constants or variables within the application code (e.g., via `src/utils/prompts.ts`) for use by the Ollama client integration.
---
### Story 4.3: Integrate Summarization into Main Workflow
* **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to integrate the Ollama client into the main workflow to generate summaries for each story's scraped article text (if available) and fetched comments, using centrally defined prompts and handling potential comment length limits.
* **Detailed Requirements:**
* Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts` or `src/core/pipeline.ts`.
* Import `ollamaClient.generateSummary` and the prompt constants/variables (e.g., from `src/utils/prompts.ts`, which reflect `docs/prompts.md`).
* Load the optional `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` configuration value from `.env` via the config utility.
* Within the main loop iterating through stories (after article scraping/persistence in Epic 3):
* **Article Summary Generation:**
* Check if the `story` object has non-null `articleContent`.
* If yes: log "Attempting article summarization for story {storyId}", call `await generateSummary(ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT, story.articleContent)`, store the result (string or null) as `story.articleSummary`, log success/failure.
* If no: set `story.articleSummary = null`, log "Skipping article summarization: No content".
* **Discussion Summary Generation:**
* Check if the `story` object has a non-empty `comments` array.
* If yes:
* Format the `story.comments` array into a single text block suitable for the LLM prompt (e.g., concatenating `comment.text` with separators like `---`).
* **Check truncation limit:** If `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` is configured to a positive number and the `formattedCommentsText` length exceeds it, truncate `formattedCommentsText` to the limit and log a warning: "Comment text truncated to {limit} characters for summarization for story {storyId}".
* Log "Attempting discussion summarization for story {storyId}".
* Call `await generateSummary(DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT, formattedCommentsText)`. *(Pass the potentially truncated text)*
* Store the result (string or null) as `story.discussionSummary`. Log success/failure.
* If no: set `story.discussionSummary = null`, log "Skipping discussion summarization: No comments".
* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
* AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes steps from Epics 1-3, then attempts summarization using the Ollama client.
* AC2: Article summary is attempted only if `articleContent` exists for a story.
* AC3: Discussion summary is attempted only if `comments` exist for a story.
* AC4: `generateSummary` is called with the correct prompts (sourced consistently with `docs/prompts.md`) and corresponding content (article text or formatted/potentially truncated comments).
* AC5: If `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` is set and comment text exceeds it, the text passed to `generateSummary` is truncated, and a warning is logged.
* AC6: Logs clearly indicate the start, success, or failure (including null returns from the client) for both article and discussion summarization attempts per story.
* AC7: Story objects in memory now contain `articleSummary` (string/null) and `discussionSummary` (string/null) properties.

# Epic 5: Digest Assembly & Email Dispatch
**Goal:** Assemble the collected story data and summaries from local files, format them into a readable HTML email digest, and send the email using Nodemailer with configured credentials. Implement a stage testing utility for emailing with a dry-run option.
## Story List
### Story 5.1: Implement Email Content Assembler
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a module that reads the persisted story metadata (`_data.json`) and summaries (`_summary.json`) from a specified directory, consolidating the necessary information needed to render the email digest.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new module: `src/email/contentAssembler.ts`.
- Define a TypeScript type/interface `DigestData` representing the data needed per story for the email template: `{ storyId: string, title: string, hnUrl: string, articleUrl: string | null, articleSummary: string | null, discussionSummary: string | null }`.
- Implement an async function `assembleDigestData(dateDirPath: string): Promise<DigestData[]>`.
- The function should:
- Use Node.js `fs` to read the contents of the `dateDirPath`.
- Identify all files matching the pattern `{storyId}_data.json`.
- For each `storyId` found:
- Read and parse the `{storyId}_data.json` file. Extract `title`, `hnUrl`, and `url` (use as `articleUrl`). Handle potential file read/parse errors gracefully (log and skip story).
- Attempt to read and parse the corresponding `{storyId}_summary.json` file. Handle file-not-found or parse errors gracefully (treat `articleSummary` and `discussionSummary` as `null`).
- Construct a `DigestData` object for the story, including the extracted metadata and summaries (or nulls).
- Collect all successfully constructed `DigestData` objects into an array.
- Return the array. It should ideally contain 10 items if all previous stages succeeded.
- Log progress (e.g., "Assembling digest data from directory...", "Processing story {storyId}...") and any errors encountered during file processing using the logger.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `contentAssembler.ts` module exists and exports `assembleDigestData` and the `DigestData` type.
- AC2: `assembleDigestData` correctly reads `_data.json` files from the provided directory path.
- AC3: It attempts to read corresponding `_summary.json` files, correctly handling cases where the summary file might be missing or unparseable (resulting in null summaries for that story).
- AC4: The function returns a promise resolving to an array of `DigestData` objects, populated with data extracted from the files.
- AC5: Errors during file reading or JSON parsing are logged, and the function returns data for successfully processed stories.
---
### Story 5.2: Create HTML Email Template & Renderer
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a basic HTML email template and a function to render it with the assembled digest data, producing the final HTML content for the email body.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Define the HTML structure. This can be done using template literals within a function or potentially using a simple template file (e.g., `src/email/templates/digestTemplate.html`) and `fs.readFileSync`. Template literals are simpler for MVP.
- Create a function `renderDigestHtml(data: DigestData[], digestDate: string): string` (e.g., in `src/email/contentAssembler.ts` or a new `templater.ts`).
- The function should generate an HTML string with:
- A suitable title in the body (e.g., `<h1>Hacker News Top 10 Summaries for ${digestDate}</h1>`).
- A loop through the `data` array.
- For each `story` in `data`:
- Display `<h2><a href="${story.articleUrl || story.hnUrl}">${story.title}</a></h2>`.
- Display `<p><a href="${story.hnUrl}">View HN Discussion</a></p>`.
- Conditionally display `<h3>Article Summary</h3><p>${story.articleSummary}</p>` *only if* `story.articleSummary` is not null/empty.
- Conditionally display `<h3>Discussion Summary</h3><p>${story.discussionSummary}</p>` *only if* `story.discussionSummary` is not null/empty.
- Include a separator (e.g., `<hr style="margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;">`).
- Use basic inline CSS for minimal styling (margins, etc.) to ensure readability. Avoid complex layouts.
- Return the complete HTML document as a string.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: A function `renderDigestHtml` exists that accepts the digest data array and a date string.
- AC2: The function returns a single, complete HTML string.
- AC3: The generated HTML includes a title with the date and correctly iterates through the story data.
- AC4: For each story, the HTML displays the linked title, HN link, and conditionally displays the article and discussion summaries with headings.
- AC5: Basic separators and margins are used for readability. The HTML is simple and likely to render reasonably in most email clients.
---
### Story 5.3: Implement Nodemailer Email Sender
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a module to send the generated HTML email using Nodemailer, configured with credentials stored securely in the environment file.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Add Nodemailer dependencies: `npm install nodemailer @types/nodemailer --save-prod`.
- Add required configuration variables to `.env.example` (and local `.env`): `EMAIL_HOST`, `EMAIL_PORT` (e.g., 587), `EMAIL_SECURE` (e.g., `false` for STARTTLS on 587, `true` for 465), `EMAIL_USER`, `EMAIL_PASS`, `EMAIL_FROM` (e.g., `"Your Name <you@example.com>"`), `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS` (comma-separated list).
- Create a new module: `src/email/emailSender.ts`.
- Implement an async function `sendDigestEmail(subject: string, htmlContent: string): Promise<boolean>`.
- Inside the function:
- Load the `EMAIL_*` variables from the config module.
- Create a Nodemailer transporter using `nodemailer.createTransport` with the loaded config (host, port, secure flag, auth: { user, pass }).
- Verify transporter configuration using `transporter.verify()` (optional but recommended). Log verification success/failure.
- Parse the `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS` string into an array or comma-separated string suitable for the `to` field.
- Define the `mailOptions`: `{ from: EMAIL_FROM, to: parsedRecipients, subject: subject, html: htmlContent }`.
- Call `await transporter.sendMail(mailOptions)`.
- If `sendMail` succeeds, log the success message including the `messageId` from the result. Return `true`.
- If `sendMail` fails (throws error), log the error using the logger. Return `false`.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: `nodemailer` and `@types/nodemailer` dependencies are added.
- AC2: `EMAIL_*` variables are defined in `.env.example` and loaded from config.
- AC3: `emailSender.ts` module exists and exports `sendDigestEmail`.
- AC4: `sendDigestEmail` correctly creates a Nodemailer transporter using configuration from `.env`. Transporter verification is attempted (optional AC).
- AC5: The `to` field is correctly populated based on `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS`.
- AC6: `transporter.sendMail` is called with correct `from`, `to`, `subject`, and `html` options.
- AC7: Email sending success (including message ID) or failure is logged clearly.
- AC8: The function returns `true` on successful sending, `false` otherwise.
---
### Story 5.4: Integrate Email Assembly and Sending into Main Workflow
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want the main application workflow (`src/index.ts`) to orchestrate the final steps: assembling digest data, rendering the HTML, and triggering the email send after all previous stages are complete.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts`.
- Import `assembleDigestData`, `renderDigestHtml`, `sendDigestEmail`.
- Execute these steps *after* the main loop (where stories are fetched, scraped, summarized, and persisted) completes:
- Log "Starting final digest assembly and email dispatch...".
- Determine the path to the current date-stamped output directory.
- Call `const digestData = await assembleDigestData(dateDirPath)`.
- Check if `digestData` array is not empty.
- If yes:
- Get the current date string (e.g., 'YYYY-MM-DD').
- `const htmlContent = renderDigestHtml(digestData, currentDate)`.
- `const subject = \`BMad Hacker Daily Digest - ${currentDate}\``.
- `const emailSent = await sendDigestEmail(subject, htmlContent)`.
- Log the final outcome based on `emailSent` ("Digest email sent successfully." or "Failed to send digest email.").
- If no (`digestData` is empty or assembly failed):
- Log an error: "Failed to assemble digest data or no data found. Skipping email."
- Log "BMad Hacker Daily Digest process finished."
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes all stages (Epics 1-4) and then proceeds to email assembly and sending.
- AC2: `assembleDigestData` is called correctly with the output directory path after other processing is done.
- AC3: If data is assembled, `renderDigestHtml` and `sendDigestEmail` are called with the correct data, subject, and HTML.
- AC4: The final success or failure of the email sending step is logged.
- AC5: If `assembleDigestData` returns no data, email sending is skipped, and an appropriate message is logged.
- AC6: The application logs a final completion message.
---
### Story 5.5: Implement Stage Testing Utility for Emailing
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate script/command to test the email assembly, rendering, and sending logic using persisted local data, including a crucial `--dry-run` option to prevent accidental email sending during tests.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Add `yargs` dependency for argument parsing: `npm install yargs @types/yargs --save-dev`.
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/send_digest.ts`.
- Import necessary modules: `fs`, `path`, `logger`, `config`, `assembleDigestData`, `renderDigestHtml`, `sendDigestEmail`, `yargs`.
- Use `yargs` to parse command-line arguments, specifically looking for a `--dry-run` boolean flag (defaulting to `false`). Allow an optional argument for specifying the date-stamped directory, otherwise default to current date.
- The script should:
- Initialize logger, load config.
- Determine the target date-stamped directory path (from arg or default). Log the target directory.
- Call `await assembleDigestData(dateDirPath)`.
- If data is assembled and not empty:
- Determine the date string for the subject/title.
- Call `renderDigestHtml(digestData, dateString)` to get HTML.
- Construct the subject string.
- Check the `dryRun` flag:
- If `true`: Log "DRY RUN enabled. Skipping actual email send.". Log the subject. Save the `htmlContent` to a file in the target directory (e.g., `_digest_preview.html`). Log that the preview file was saved.
- If `false`: Log "Live run: Attempting to send email...". Call `await sendDigestEmail(subject, htmlContent)`. Log success/failure based on the return value.
- If data assembly fails or is empty, log the error.
- Add script to `package.json`: `"stage:email": "ts-node src/stages/send_digest.ts --"`. The `--` allows passing arguments like `--dry-run`.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The file `src/stages/send_digest.ts` exists. `yargs` dependency is added.
- AC2: The script `stage:email` is defined in `package.json` allowing arguments.
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:email -- --dry-run` reads local data, renders HTML, logs the intent, saves `_digest_preview.html` locally, and does *not* call `sendDigestEmail`.
- AC4: Running `npm run stage:email` (without `--dry-run`) reads local data, renders HTML, and *does* call `sendDigestEmail`, logging the outcome.
- AC5: The script correctly identifies and acts upon the `--dry-run` flag.
- AC6: Logs clearly distinguish between dry runs and live runs and report success/failure.
- AC7: The script operates using only local files and the email configuration/service; it does not invoke prior pipeline stages (Algolia, scraping, Ollama).

# Epic 5: Digest Assembly & Email Dispatch
**Goal:** Assemble the collected story data and summaries from local files, format them into a readable HTML email digest, and send the email using Nodemailer with configured credentials. Implement a stage testing utility for emailing with a dry-run option.
## Story List
### Story 5.1: Implement Email Content Assembler
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a module that reads the persisted story metadata (`_data.json`) and summaries (`_summary.json`) from a specified directory, consolidating the necessary information needed to render the email digest.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new module: `src/email/contentAssembler.ts`.
- Define a TypeScript type/interface `DigestData` representing the data needed per story for the email template: `{ storyId: string, title: string, hnUrl: string, articleUrl: string | null, articleSummary: string | null, discussionSummary: string | null }`.
- Implement an async function `assembleDigestData(dateDirPath: string): Promise<DigestData[]>`.
- The function should:
- Use Node.js `fs` to read the contents of the `dateDirPath`.
- Identify all files matching the pattern `{storyId}_data.json`.
- For each `storyId` found:
- Read and parse the `{storyId}_data.json` file. Extract `title`, `hnUrl`, and `url` (use as `articleUrl`). Handle potential file read/parse errors gracefully (log and skip story).
- Attempt to read and parse the corresponding `{storyId}_summary.json` file. Handle file-not-found or parse errors gracefully (treat `articleSummary` and `discussionSummary` as `null`).
- Construct a `DigestData` object for the story, including the extracted metadata and summaries (or nulls).
- Collect all successfully constructed `DigestData` objects into an array.
- Return the array. It should ideally contain 10 items if all previous stages succeeded.
- Log progress (e.g., "Assembling digest data from directory...", "Processing story {storyId}...") and any errors encountered during file processing using the logger.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `contentAssembler.ts` module exists and exports `assembleDigestData` and the `DigestData` type.
- AC2: `assembleDigestData` correctly reads `_data.json` files from the provided directory path.
- AC3: It attempts to read corresponding `_summary.json` files, correctly handling cases where the summary file might be missing or unparseable (resulting in null summaries for that story).
- AC4: The function returns a promise resolving to an array of `DigestData` objects, populated with data extracted from the files.
- AC5: Errors during file reading or JSON parsing are logged, and the function returns data for successfully processed stories.
---
### Story 5.2: Create HTML Email Template & Renderer
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a basic HTML email template and a function to render it with the assembled digest data, producing the final HTML content for the email body.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Define the HTML structure. This can be done using template literals within a function or potentially using a simple template file (e.g., `src/email/templates/digestTemplate.html`) and `fs.readFileSync`. Template literals are simpler for MVP.
- Create a function `renderDigestHtml(data: DigestData[], digestDate: string): string` (e.g., in `src/email/contentAssembler.ts` or a new `templater.ts`).
- The function should generate an HTML string with:
- A suitable title in the body (e.g., `<h1>Hacker News Top 10 Summaries for ${digestDate}</h1>`).
- A loop through the `data` array.
- For each `story` in `data`:
- Display `<h2><a href="${story.articleUrl || story.hnUrl}">${story.title}</a></h2>`.
- Display `<p><a href="${story.hnUrl}">View HN Discussion</a></p>`.
- Conditionally display `<h3>Article Summary</h3><p>${story.articleSummary}</p>` *only if* `story.articleSummary` is not null/empty.
- Conditionally display `<h3>Discussion Summary</h3><p>${story.discussionSummary}</p>` *only if* `story.discussionSummary` is not null/empty.
- Include a separator (e.g., `<hr style="margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;">`).
- Use basic inline CSS for minimal styling (margins, etc.) to ensure readability. Avoid complex layouts.
- Return the complete HTML document as a string.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: A function `renderDigestHtml` exists that accepts the digest data array and a date string.
- AC2: The function returns a single, complete HTML string.
- AC3: The generated HTML includes a title with the date and correctly iterates through the story data.
- AC4: For each story, the HTML displays the linked title, HN link, and conditionally displays the article and discussion summaries with headings.
- AC5: Basic separators and margins are used for readability. The HTML is simple and likely to render reasonably in most email clients.
---
### Story 5.3: Implement Nodemailer Email Sender
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a module to send the generated HTML email using Nodemailer, configured with credentials stored securely in the environment file.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Add Nodemailer dependencies: `npm install nodemailer @types/nodemailer --save-prod`.
- Add required configuration variables to `.env.example` (and local `.env`): `EMAIL_HOST`, `EMAIL_PORT` (e.g., 587), `EMAIL_SECURE` (e.g., `false` for STARTTLS on 587, `true` for 465), `EMAIL_USER`, `EMAIL_PASS`, `EMAIL_FROM` (e.g., `"Your Name <you@example.com>"`), `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS` (comma-separated list).
- Create a new module: `src/email/emailSender.ts`.
- Implement an async function `sendDigestEmail(subject: string, htmlContent: string): Promise<boolean>`.
- Inside the function:
- Load the `EMAIL_*` variables from the config module.
- Create a Nodemailer transporter using `nodemailer.createTransport` with the loaded config (host, port, secure flag, auth: { user, pass }).
- Verify transporter configuration using `transporter.verify()` (optional but recommended). Log verification success/failure.
- Parse the `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS` string into an array or comma-separated string suitable for the `to` field.
- Define the `mailOptions`: `{ from: EMAIL_FROM, to: parsedRecipients, subject: subject, html: htmlContent }`.
- Call `await transporter.sendMail(mailOptions)`.
- If `sendMail` succeeds, log the success message including the `messageId` from the result. Return `true`.
- If `sendMail` fails (throws error), log the error using the logger. Return `false`.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: `nodemailer` and `@types/nodemailer` dependencies are added.
- AC2: `EMAIL_*` variables are defined in `.env.example` and loaded from config.
- AC3: `emailSender.ts` module exists and exports `sendDigestEmail`.
- AC4: `sendDigestEmail` correctly creates a Nodemailer transporter using configuration from `.env`. Transporter verification is attempted (optional AC).
- AC5: The `to` field is correctly populated based on `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS`.
- AC6: `transporter.sendMail` is called with correct `from`, `to`, `subject`, and `html` options.
- AC7: Email sending success (including message ID) or failure is logged clearly.
- AC8: The function returns `true` on successful sending, `false` otherwise.
---
### Story 5.4: Integrate Email Assembly and Sending into Main Workflow
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want the main application workflow (`src/index.ts`) to orchestrate the final steps: assembling digest data, rendering the HTML, and triggering the email send after all previous stages are complete.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts`.
- Import `assembleDigestData`, `renderDigestHtml`, `sendDigestEmail`.
- Execute these steps *after* the main loop (where stories are fetched, scraped, summarized, and persisted) completes:
- Log "Starting final digest assembly and email dispatch...".
- Determine the path to the current date-stamped output directory.
- Call `const digestData = await assembleDigestData(dateDirPath)`.
- Check if `digestData` array is not empty.
- If yes:
- Get the current date string (e.g., 'YYYY-MM-DD').
- `const htmlContent = renderDigestHtml(digestData, currentDate)`.
- `const subject = \`BMad Hacker Daily Digest - ${currentDate}\``.
- `const emailSent = await sendDigestEmail(subject, htmlContent)`.
- Log the final outcome based on `emailSent` ("Digest email sent successfully." or "Failed to send digest email.").
- If no (`digestData` is empty or assembly failed):
- Log an error: "Failed to assemble digest data or no data found. Skipping email."
- Log "BMad Hacker Daily Digest process finished."
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes all stages (Epics 1-4) and then proceeds to email assembly and sending.
- AC2: `assembleDigestData` is called correctly with the output directory path after other processing is done.
- AC3: If data is assembled, `renderDigestHtml` and `sendDigestEmail` are called with the correct data, subject, and HTML.
- AC4: The final success or failure of the email sending step is logged.
- AC5: If `assembleDigestData` returns no data, email sending is skipped, and an appropriate message is logged.
- AC6: The application logs a final completion message.
---
### Story 5.5: Implement Stage Testing Utility for Emailing
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate script/command to test the email assembly, rendering, and sending logic using persisted local data, including a crucial `--dry-run` option to prevent accidental email sending during tests.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Add `yargs` dependency for argument parsing: `npm install yargs @types/yargs --save-dev`.
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/send_digest.ts`.
- Import necessary modules: `fs`, `path`, `logger`, `config`, `assembleDigestData`, `renderDigestHtml`, `sendDigestEmail`, `yargs`.
- Use `yargs` to parse command-line arguments, specifically looking for a `--dry-run` boolean flag (defaulting to `false`). Allow an optional argument for specifying the date-stamped directory, otherwise default to current date.
- The script should:
- Initialize logger, load config.
- Determine the target date-stamped directory path (from arg or default). Log the target directory.
- Call `await assembleDigestData(dateDirPath)`.
- If data is assembled and not empty:
- Determine the date string for the subject/title.
- Call `renderDigestHtml(digestData, dateString)` to get HTML.
- Construct the subject string.
- Check the `dryRun` flag:
- If `true`: Log "DRY RUN enabled. Skipping actual email send.". Log the subject. Save the `htmlContent` to a file in the target directory (e.g., `_digest_preview.html`). Log that the preview file was saved.
- If `false`: Log "Live run: Attempting to send email...". Call `await sendDigestEmail(subject, htmlContent)`. Log success/failure based on the return value.
- If data assembly fails or is empty, log the error.
- Add script to `package.json`: `"stage:email": "ts-node src/stages/send_digest.ts --"`. The `--` allows passing arguments like `--dry-run`.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The file `src/stages/send_digest.ts` exists. `yargs` dependency is added.
- AC2: The script `stage:email` is defined in `package.json` allowing arguments.
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:email -- --dry-run` reads local data, renders HTML, logs the intent, saves `_digest_preview.html` locally, and does *not* call `sendDigestEmail`.
- AC4: Running `npm run stage:email` (without `--dry-run`) reads local data, renders HTML, and *does* call `sendDigestEmail`, logging the outcome.
- AC5: The script correctly identifies and acts upon the `--dry-run` flag.
- AC6: Logs clearly distinguish between dry runs and live runs and report success/failure.
- AC7: The script operates using only local files and the email configuration/service; it does not invoke prior pipeline stages (Algolia, scraping, Ollama).

# Project Brief: BMad Hacker Daily Digest
## Introduction / Problem Statement
Hacker News (HN) comment threads contain valuable insights but can be prohibitively long to read thoroughly. The BMad Hacker Daily Digest project aims to solve this by providing a time-efficient way to stay informed about the collective intelligence within HN discussions. The service will automatically fetch the top 10 HN stories daily, retrieve a manageable subset of their comments using the Algolia HN API, generate concise summaries of both the linked article (when possible) and the comment discussion using an LLM, and deliver these summaries in a daily email briefing. This project also serves as a practical learning exercise focused on agent-driven development, TypeScript, Node.js backend services, API integration, and local LLM usage with Ollama.
## Vision & Goals
- **Vision:** To provide a quick, reliable, and automated way for users to stay informed about the key insights and discussions happening within the Hacker News community without needing to read lengthy comment threads.
- **Primary Goals (MVP - SMART):**
- **Fetch HN Story Data:** Successfully retrieve the IDs and metadata (title, URL, HN link) of the top 10 Hacker News stories using the Algolia HN Search API when triggered.
- **Retrieve Limited Comments:** For each fetched story, retrieve a predefined, limited set of associated comments using the Algolia HN Search API.
- **Attempt Article Scraping:** For each story's external URL, attempt to fetch the raw HTML and extract the main article text using basic methods (Node.js native fetch, article-extractor/Cheerio), handling failures gracefully.
- **Generate Summaries (LLM):** Using a local LLM (via Ollama, configured endpoint), generate: an "Article Summary" from scraped text (if successful), and a separate "Discussion Summary" from fetched comments.
- **Assemble & Send Digest (Manual Trigger):** Format results for 10 stories into a single HTML email and successfully send it to recipients (list defined in config) using Nodemailer when manually triggered via CLI.
- **Success Metrics (Initial Ideas for MVP):**
- **Successful Execution:** The entire process completes successfully without crashing when manually triggered via CLI for 3 different test runs.
- **Digest Content:** The generated email contains results for 10 stories (correct links, discussion summary, article summary where possible). Spot checks confirm relevance.
- **Error Handling:** Scraping failures are logged, and the process continues using only comment summaries for affected stories without halting the script.
## Target Audience / Users
**Primary User (MVP):** The developer undertaking this project. The primary motivation is learning and demonstrating agent-driven development, TypeScript, Node.js (v22), API integration (Algolia, LLM, Email), local LLMs (Ollama), and configuration management ( .env ). The key need is an interesting, achievable project scope utilizing these technologies.
**Secondary User (Potential):** Time-constrained HN readers/tech enthusiasts needing automated discussion summaries. Addressing their needs fully is outside MVP scope but informs potential future direction.
## Key Features / Scope (High-Level Ideas for MVP)
- Fetch Top HN Stories (Algolia API).
- Fetch Limited Comments (Algolia API).
- Local File Storage (Date-stamped folder, structured text/JSON files).
- Attempt Basic Article Scraping (Node.js v22 native fetch, basic extraction).
- Handle Scraping Failures (Log error, proceed with comment-only summary).
- Generate Summaries (Local Ollama via configured endpoint: Article Summary if scraped, Discussion Summary always).
- Format Digest Email (HTML: Article Summary (opt.), Discussion Summary, HN link, Article link).
- Manual Email Dispatch (Nodemailer, credentials from .env , recipient list from .env ).
- CLI Trigger (Manual command to run full process).
**Explicitly OUT of Scope for MVP:** Advanced scraping (JS render, anti-bot), processing _all_ comments/MapReduce summaries, automated scheduling (cron), database integration, cloud deployment/web frontend, user management (sign-ups etc.), production-grade error handling/monitoring/deliverability, fine-tuning LLM prompts, sophisticated retry logic.
## Known Technical Constraints or Preferences
- **Constraints/Preferences:**
- **Language/Runtime:** TypeScript running on Node.js v22.
- **Execution Environment:** Local machine execution for MVP.
- **Trigger Mechanism:** Manual CLI trigger only for MVP.
- **Configuration Management:** Use a `.env` file for configuration: LLM endpoint URL, email credentials, recipient email list, potentially comment fetch limits etc.
- **HTTP Requests:** Use Node.js v22 native fetch API (no Axios).
- **HN Data Source:** Algolia HN Search API.
- **Web Scraping:** Basic, best-effort only (native fetch + static HTML extraction). Must handle failures gracefully.
- **LLM Integration:** Local Ollama via configurable endpoint for MVP. Design for potential swap to cloud LLMs. Functionality over quality for MVP.
- **Summarization Strategy:** Separate Article/Discussion summaries. Limit comments processed per story (configurable). No MapReduce.
- **Data Storage:** Local file system (structured text/JSON in date-stamped folders). No database.
- **Email Delivery:** Nodemailer. Read credentials and recipient list from `.env`. Basic setup, no production deliverability focus.
- **Primary Goal Context:** Focus on functional pipeline for learning/demonstration.
- **Risks:**
- Algolia HN API Issues: Changes, rate limits, availability.
- Web Scraping Fragility: High likelihood of failure limiting Article Summaries.
- LLM Variability & Quality: Inconsistent performance/quality from local Ollama; potential errors.
*Incomplete Discussion Capture: Limited comment fetching may miss key insights.
*Email Configuration/Deliverability: Fragility of personal credentials; potential spam filtering.
*Manual Trigger Dependency: Digest only generated on manual execution.
*Configuration Errors: Incorrect `.env` settings could break the application.
_(User Note: Risks acknowledged and accepted given the project's learning goals.)_
## Relevant Research (Optional)
Feasibility: Core concept confirmed technically feasible with available APIs/libraries.
Existing Tools & Market Context: Similar tools exist (validating interest), but daily email format appears distinct.
API Selection: Algolia HN Search API chosen for filtering/sorting capabilities.
Identified Technical Challenges: Confirmed complexities of scraping and handling large comment volumes within LLM limits, informing MVP scope.
Local LLM Viability: Ollama confirmed as viable for local MVP development/testing, with potential for future swapping.
## PM Prompt
**PM Agent Handoff Prompt: BMad Hacker Daily Digest**
**Summary of Key Insights:**
This Project Brief outlines the "BMad Hacker Daily Digest," a command-line tool designed to provide daily email summaries of discussions from top Hacker News (HN) comment threads. The core problem is the time required to read lengthy but valuable HN discussions. The MVP aims to fetch the top 10 HN stories, retrieve a limited set of comments via the Algolia HN API, attempt basic scraping of linked articles (with fallback), generate separate summaries for articles (if scraped) and comments using a local LLM (Ollama), and email the digest to the developer using Nodemailer. This project primarily serves as a learning exercise and demonstration of agent-driven development in TypeScript.
**Areas Requiring Special Attention (for PRD):**
- **Comment Selection Logic:** Define the specific criteria for selecting the "limited set" of comments from Algolia (e.g., number of comments, recency, token count limit).
- **Basic Scraping Implementation:** Detail the exact steps for the basic article scraping attempt (libraries like Node.js native fetch, article-extractor/Cheerio), including specific error handling and the fallback mechanism.
- **LLM Prompting:** Define the precise prompts for generating the "Article Summary" and the "Discussion Summary" separately.
- **Email Formatting:** Specify the exact structure, layout, and content presentation within the daily HTML email digest.
- **CLI Interface:** Define the specific command(s), arguments, and expected output/feedback for the manual trigger.
- **Local File Structure:** Define the structure for storing intermediate data and logs in local text files within date-stamped folders.
**Development Context:**
This brief was developed through iterative discussion, starting from general app ideas and refining scope based on user interest (HN discussions) and technical feasibility for a learning/demo project. Key decisions include prioritizing comment summarization, using the Algolia HN API, starting with local execution (Ollama, Nodemailer), and including only a basic, best-effort scraping attempt in the MVP.
**Guidance on PRD Detail:**
- Focus detailed requirements and user stories on the core data pipeline: HN API Fetch -> Comment Selection -> Basic Scrape Attempt -> LLM Summarization (x2) -> Email Formatting/Sending -> CLI Trigger.
- Keep potential post-MVP enhancements (cloud deployment, frontend, database, advanced scraping, scheduling) as high-level future considerations.
- Technical implementation details for API/LLM interaction should allow flexibility for potential future swapping (e.g., Ollama to cloud LLM).
**User Preferences:**
- Execution: Manual CLI trigger for MVP.
- Data Storage: Local text files for MVP.
- LLM: Ollama for local development/MVP. Ability to potentially switch to cloud API later.
- Summaries: Generate separate summaries for article (if available) and comments.
- API: Use Algolia HN Search API.
- Email: Use Nodemailer for self-send in MVP.
- Tech Stack: TypeScript, Node.js v22.

# BMad Hacker Daily Digest Product Requirements Document (PRD)
## Intro
The BMad Hacker Daily Digest is a command-line tool designed to address the time-consuming nature of reading extensive Hacker News (HN) comment threads. It aims to provide users with a time-efficient way to grasp the collective intelligence and key insights from discussions on top HN stories. The service will fetch the top 10 HN stories daily, retrieve a configurable number of comments for each, attempt to scrape the linked article, generate separate summaries for the article (if scraped) and the comment discussion using a local LLM, and deliver these summaries in a single daily email briefing triggered manually. This project also serves as a practical learning exercise in agent-driven development, TypeScript, Node.js, API integration, and local LLM usage, starting from the provided "bmad-boilerplate" template.
## Goals and Context
- **Project Objectives:**
- Provide a quick, reliable, automated way to stay informed about key HN discussions without reading full threads.
- Successfully fetch top 10 HN story metadata via Algolia HN API.
- Retrieve a _configurable_ number of comments per story (default 50) via Algolia HN API.
- Attempt basic scraping of linked article content, handling failures gracefully.
- Generate distinct Article Summaries (if scraped) and Discussion Summaries using a local LLM (Ollama).
- Assemble summaries for 10 stories into an HTML email and send via Nodemailer upon manual CLI trigger.
- Serve as a learning platform for agent-driven development, TypeScript, Node.js v22, API integration, local LLMs, and configuration management, leveraging the "bmad-boilerplate" structure and tooling.
- **Measurable Outcomes:**
- The tool completes its full process (fetch, scrape attempt, summarize, email) without crashing on manual CLI trigger across multiple test runs.
- The generated email digest consistently contains results for 10 stories, including correct links, discussion summaries, and article summaries where scraping was successful.
- Errors during article scraping are logged, and the process continues for affected stories using only comment summaries, without halting the script.
- **Success Criteria:**
- Successful execution of the end-to-end process via CLI trigger for 3 consecutive test runs.
- Generated email is successfully sent and received, containing summaries for all 10 fetched stories (article summary optional based on scraping success).
- Scraping failures are logged appropriately without stopping the overall process.
- **Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):**
- Successful Runs / Total Runs (Target: 100% for MVP tests)
- Stories with Article Summaries / Total Stories (Measures scraping effectiveness)
- Stories with Discussion Summaries / Total Stories (Target: 100%)
* Manual Qualitative Check: Relevance and coherence of summaries in the digest.
## Scope and Requirements (MVP / Current Version)
### Functional Requirements (High-Level)
- **HN Story Fetching:** Retrieve IDs and metadata (title, URL, HN link) for the top 10 stories from Algolia HN Search API.
- **HN Comment Fetching:** For each story, retrieve comments from Algolia HN Search API up to a maximum count defined in a `.env` configuration variable (`MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`, default 50).
- **Article Content Scraping:** Attempt to fetch HTML and extract main text content from the story's external URL using basic methods (e.g., Node.js native fetch, optionally `article-extractor` or similar basic library).
- **Scraping Failure Handling:** If scraping fails, log the error and proceed with generating only the Discussion Summary for that story.
- **LLM Summarization:**
- Generate an "Article Summary" from scraped text (if successful) using a configured local LLM (Ollama endpoint).
- Generate a "Discussion Summary" from the fetched comments using the same LLM.
- Initial Prompts (Placeholders - refine in Epics):
- _Article Prompt:_ "Summarize the key points of the following article text: {Article Text}"
- _Discussion Prompt:_ "Summarize the main themes, viewpoints, and key insights from the following Hacker News comments: {Comment Texts}"
- **Digest Formatting:** Combine results for the 10 stories into a single HTML email. Each story entry should include: Story Title, HN Link, Article Link, Article Summary (if available), Discussion Summary.
- **Email Dispatch:** Send the formatted HTML email using Nodemailer to a recipient list defined in `.env`. Use credentials also stored in `.env`.
- **Main Execution Trigger:** Initiate the _entire implemented pipeline_ via a manual command-line interface (CLI) trigger, using the standard scripts defined in the boilerplate (`npm run dev`, `npm start` after build). Each functional epic should add its capability to this main execution flow.
- **Configuration:** Manage external parameters (Algolia API details (if needed), LLM endpoint URL, `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`, Nodemailer credentials, recipient email list, output directory path) via a `.env` file, based on the provided `.env.example`.
- **Incremental Logging & Data Persistence:**
- Implement basic console logging for key steps and errors throughout the pipeline.
- Persist intermediate data artifacts (fetched stories/comments, scraped text, generated summaries) to local files within a configurable, date-stamped directory structure (e.g., `./output/YYYY-MM-DD/`).
- This persistence should be implemented incrementally within the relevant functional epics (Data Acquisition, Scraping, Summarization).
- **Stage Testing Utilities:**
- Provide separate utility scripts or CLI commands to allow testing individual pipeline stages in isolation (e.g., fetching HN data, scraping URLs, summarizing text, sending email).
- These utilities should support using locally saved files as input (e.g., test scraping using a file containing story URLs, test summarization using a file containing text). This facilitates development and debugging.
### Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)
- **Performance:** MVP focuses on functionality over speed. Should complete within a reasonable time (e.g., < 5 minutes) on a typical developer machine for local LLM use. No specific response time targets.
- **Scalability:** Designed for single-user, local execution. No scaling requirements for MVP.
- **Reliability/Availability:**
- The script must handle article scraping failures gracefully (log and continue).
- Basic error handling for API calls (e.g., log network errors).
- Local LLM interaction may fail; basic error logging is sufficient for MVP.
- No requirement for automated retries or production-grade error handling.
- **Security:**
- Email credentials must be stored securely via `.env` file and not committed to version control (as per boilerplate `.gitignore`).
- No other specific security requirements for local MVP.
- **Maintainability:**
- Code should be well-structured TypeScript.
- Adherence to the linting (ESLint) and formatting (Prettier) rules configured in the "bmad-boilerplate" is required. Use `npm run lint` and `npm run format`.
- Modularity is desired to potentially swap LLM providers later and facilitate stage testing.
- **Usability/Accessibility:** N/A (CLI tool for developer).
- **Other Constraints:**
- Must use TypeScript and Node.js v22.
- Must run locally on the developer's machine.
- Must use Node.js v22 native `Workspace` API for HTTP requests.
- Must use Algolia HN Search API for HN data.
- Must use a local Ollama instance via a configurable HTTP endpoint.
- Must use Nodemailer for email dispatch.
- Must use `.env` for configuration based on `.env.example`.
- Must use local file system for logging and intermediate data storage. Ensure output/log directories are gitignored.
- Focus on a functional pipeline for learning/demonstration.
### User Experience (UX) Requirements (High-Level)
- The primary UX goal is to deliver a time-saving digest.
- For the developer user, the main CLI interaction should be simple: using standard boilerplate scripts like `npm run dev` or `npm start` to trigger the full process.
- Feedback during CLI execution (e.g., "Fetching stories...", "Summarizing story X/10...", "Sending email...") is desirable via console logging.
- Separate CLI commands/scripts for testing individual stages should provide clear input/output mechanisms.
### Integration Requirements (High-Level)
- **Algolia HN Search API:** Fetching top stories and comments. Requires understanding API structure and query parameters.
- **Ollama Service:** Sending text (article content, comments) and receiving summaries via its API endpoint. Endpoint URL must be configurable.
- **SMTP Service (via Nodemailer):** Sending the final digest email. Requires valid SMTP credentials and recipient list configured in `.env`.
### Testing Requirements (High-Level)
- MVP success relies on manual end-to-end test runs confirming successful execution and valid email output.
- Unit/integration tests are encouraged using the **Jest framework configured in the boilerplate**. Focus testing effort on the core pipeline components. Use `npm run test`.
- **Stage-specific testing utilities (as defined in Functional Requirements) are required** to support development and verification of individual pipeline components.
## Epic Overview (MVP / Current Version)
_(Revised proposal)_
- **Epic 1: Project Initialization & Core Setup** - Goal: Initialize the project using "bmad-boilerplate", manage dependencies, setup `.env` and config loading, establish basic CLI entry point, setup basic logging and output directory structure.
- **Epic 2: HN Data Acquisition & Persistence** - Goal: Implement fetching top 10 stories and their comments (respecting limits) from Algolia HN API, and persist this raw data locally. Implement stage testing utility for fetching.
- **Epic 3: Article Scraping & Persistence** - Goal: Implement best-effort article scraping/extraction, handle failures gracefully, and persist scraped text locally. Implement stage testing utility for scraping.
- **Epic 4: LLM Summarization & Persistence** - Goal: Integrate with Ollama to generate article/discussion summaries from persisted data and persist summaries locally. Implement stage testing utility for summarization.
- **Epic 5: Digest Assembly & Email Dispatch** - Goal: Format collected summaries into an HTML email using persisted data and send it using Nodemailer. Implement stage testing utility for emailing (with dry-run option).

- **Frontend Platform:** N/A (CLI tool).
- **Backend Platform:** Node.js v22 with TypeScript (as provided by the boilerplate). No specific Node.js framework mandated, but structure should support modularity and align with boilerplate setup.
- **Database Requirements:** None. Local file system for intermediate data storage and logging only. Structure TBD (e.g., `./output/YYYY-MM-DD/`). Ensure output directory is configurable via `.env` and gitignored.
### Technical Constraints
- Must adhere to the structure and tooling provided by "bmad-boilerplate".
- Must use Node.js v22 native `Workspace` for HTTP requests.
- Must use the Algolia HN Search API for fetching HN data.
- Must integrate with a local Ollama instance via a configurable HTTP endpoint. Design should allow potential swapping to other LLM APIs later.
- Must use Nodemailer for sending email.
- Configuration (LLM endpoint, email credentials, recipients, `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`, output dir path) must be managed via a `.env` file based on `.env.example`.
- Article scraping must be basic, best-effort, and handle failures gracefully without stopping the main process.
- Intermediate data must be persisted locally incrementally.
- Code must adhere to the ESLint and Prettier configurations within the boilerplate.
### Deployment Considerations
- Execution is manual via CLI trigger only, using `npm run dev` or `npm start`.
- No CI/CD required for MVP.
- Single environment: local development machine.
### Local Development & Testing Requirements
- The entire application runs locally.
- The main CLI command (`npm run dev`/`start`) should execute the _full implemented pipeline_.
- **Separate utility scripts/commands MUST be provided** for testing individual pipeline stages (fetch, scrape, summarize, email) potentially using local file I/O. Architecture should facilitate creating these stage runners. (e.g., `npm run stage:fetch`, `npm run stage:scrape -- --inputFile <path>`, `npm run stage:summarize -- --inputFile <path>`, `npm run stage:email -- --inputFile <path> [--dry-run]`).
- The boilerplate provides `npm run test` using Jest for running automated unit/integration tests.
- The boilerplate provides `npm run lint` and `npm run format` for code quality checks.
- Basic console logging is required. File logging can be considered by the architect.
- Testability of individual modules (API clients, scraper, summarizer, emailer) is crucial and should leverage the Jest setup and stage testing utilities.
### Other Technical Considerations
- **Modularity:** Design components (HN client, scraper, LLM client, emailer) with clear interfaces to facilitate potential future modifications (e.g., changing LLM provider) and independent stage testing.
- **Error Handling:** Focus on robust handling of scraping failures and basic handling of API/network errors. Implement within the boilerplate structure. Logging should clearly indicate errors.
- **Resource Management:** Be mindful of local resources when interacting with the LLM, although optimization is not a primary MVP goal.
- **Dependency Management:** Add necessary production dependencies (e.g., `nodemailer`, potentially `article-extractor`, libraries for date handling or file system operations if needed) to the boilerplate's `package.json`. Keep dependencies minimal.
- **Configuration Loading:** Implement a robust way to load and validate settings from the `.env` file early in the application startup.

# BMad Hacker Daily Digest LLM Prompts
This document defines the standard prompts used when interacting with the configured Ollama LLM for generating summaries. Centralizing these prompts ensures consistency and aids experimentation.
## Prompt Design Philosophy
The goal of these prompts is to guide the LLM (e.g., Llama 3 or similar) to produce concise, informative summaries focusing on the key information relevant to the BMad Hacker Daily Digest's objective: quickly understanding the essence of an article or HN discussion.
## Core Prompts
### 1. Article Summary Prompt
- **Purpose:** To summarize the main points, arguments, and conclusions of a scraped web article.
- **Variable Name (Conceptual):** `ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT`
- **Prompt Text:**
```text
You are an expert analyst summarizing technical articles and web content. Please provide a concise summary of the following article text, focusing on the key points, core arguments, findings, and main conclusions. The summary should be objective and easy to understand.
Article Text:
---
{Article Text}
---
Concise Summary:
````
### 2. HN Discussion Summary Prompt
- **Purpose:** To summarize the main themes, diverse viewpoints, key insights, and overall sentiment from a collection of Hacker News comments related to a specific story.
- **Variable Name (Conceptual):** `DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT`
- **Prompt Text:**
```text
You are an expert discussion analyst skilled at synthesizing Hacker News comment threads. Please provide a concise summary of the main themes, diverse viewpoints (including agreements and disagreements), key insights, and overall sentiment expressed in the following Hacker News comments. Focus on the collective intelligence and most salient points from the discussion.
Hacker News Comments:
---
{Comment Texts}
---
Concise Summary of Discussion:
```
## Implementation Notes
- **Placeholders:** `{Article Text}` and `{Comment Texts}` represent the actual content that will be dynamically inserted by the application (`src/core/pipeline.ts` or `src/clients/ollamaClient.ts`) when making the API call.
- **Loading:** For the MVP, these prompts can be defined as constants within the application code (e.g., in `src/utils/prompts.ts` or directly where the `ollamaClient` is called), referencing this document as the source of truth. Future enhancements could involve loading these prompts from this file directly at runtime.
- **Refinement:** These prompts serve as a starting point. Further refinement based on the quality of summaries produced by the specific `OLLAMA_MODEL` is expected (Post-MVP).

# BMad Hacker Daily Digest Testing Strategy
## Overall Philosophy & Goals
The testing strategy for the BMad Hacker Daily Digest MVP focuses on pragmatic validation of the core pipeline functionality and individual component logic. Given it's a local CLI tool with a sequential process, the emphasis is on:
1. **Functional Correctness:** Ensuring each stage of the pipeline (fetch, scrape, summarize, email) performs its task correctly according to the requirements.
2. **Integration Verification:** Confirming that data flows correctly between pipeline stages via the local filesystem.
3. **Robustness (Key Areas):** Specifically testing graceful handling of expected failures, particularly in article scraping .
4. **Leveraging Boilerplate:** Utilizing the Jest testing framework provided by `bmad-boilerplate` for automated unit and integration tests .
5. **Stage-Based Acceptance:** Using the mandatory **Stage Testing Utilities** as the primary mechanism for end-to-end validation of each phase against real external interactions (where applicable) .
The primary goal is confidence in the MVP's end-to-end execution and the correctness of the generated email digest. High code coverage is secondary to testing critical paths and integration points.
## Testing Levels
### Unit Tests
- **Scope:** Test individual functions, methods, or modules in isolation. Focus on business logic within utilities (`src/utils/`), clients (`src/clients/` - mocking HTTP calls), scraping logic (`src/scraper/` - mocking HTTP calls), email templating (`src/email/templates.ts`), and potentially core pipeline orchestration logic (`src/core/pipeline.ts` - mocking stage implementations).
- **Tools:** Jest (provided by `bmad-boilerplate`). Use `npm run test`.
- **Mocking/Stubbing:** Utilize Jest's built-in mocking capabilities (`jest.fn()`, `jest.spyOn()`, manual mocks in `__mocks__`) to isolate units under test from external dependencies (native `Workspace` API, `fs`, other modules, external libraries like `nodemailer`, `ollamaClient`).
- **Location:** `test/unit/`, mirroring the `src/` directory structure.
- **Expectations:** Cover critical logic branches, calculations, and helper functions. Ensure tests are fast and run reliably. Aim for good coverage of utility functions and complex logic within modules.
### Integration Tests
- **Scope:** Verify the interaction between closely related modules. Examples:
- Testing the `core/pipeline.ts` orchestrator with mocked implementations of each stage (fetch, scrape, summarize, email) to ensure the sequence and basic data flow are correct.
- Testing a client module (e.g., `algoliaHNClient`) against mocked HTTP responses to ensure correct parsing and data transformation.
- Testing the `email/contentAssembler.ts` by providing mock data files in a temporary directory (potentially using `mock-fs` or setup/teardown logic) and verifying the assembled `DigestData`.
- **Tools:** Jest. May involve limited use of test setup/teardown for creating mock file structures if needed.
- **Location:** `test/integration/`.
- **Expectations:** Verify the contracts and collaborations between key internal components. Slower than unit tests. Focus on module boundaries.
### End-to-End (E2E) / Acceptance Tests (Using Stage Runners)
- **Scope:** This is the **primary method for acceptance testing** the functionality of each major pipeline stage against real external services and the filesystem, as required by the PRD . This also includes manually running the full pipeline.
- **Process:**
1. **Stage Testing Utilities:** Execute the standalone scripts in `src/stages/` via `npm run stage:<stage_name> [--args]`.
- `npm run stage:fetch`: Verifies fetching from Algolia HN API and persisting `_data.json` files locally.
- `npm run stage:scrape`: Verifies reading `_data.json`, scraping article URLs (hitting real websites), and persisting `_article.txt` files locally.
- `npm run stage:summarize`: Verifies reading local `_data.json` / `_article.txt`, calling the local Ollama API, and persisting `_summary.json` files. Requires a running local Ollama instance.
- `npm run stage:email [--dry-run]`: Verifies reading local persisted files, assembling the digest, rendering HTML, and either sending a real email (live run) or saving an HTML preview (`--dry-run`). Requires valid SMTP credentials in `.env` for live runs.
2. **Full Pipeline Run:** Execute the main application via `npm run dev` or `npm start`.
3. **Manual Verification:** Check console logs for errors during execution. Inspect the contents of the `output/YYYY-MM-DD/` directory (existence and format of `_data.json`, `_article.txt`, `_summary.json`, `_digest_preview.html` if dry-run). For live email tests, verify the received email's content, formatting, and summaries.
- **Tools:** `npm` scripts, console inspection, file system inspection, email client.
- **Environment:** Local development machine with internet access, configured `.env` file, and a running local Ollama instance .
- **Location:** Scripts in `src/stages/`; verification steps are manual.
- **Expectations:** These tests confirm the real-world functionality of each stage and the end-to-end process, fulfilling the core MVP success criteria .
### Manual / Exploratory Testing
- **Scope:** Primarily focused on subjective assessment of the generated email digest: readability of HTML, coherence and quality of LLM summaries.
- **Process:** Review the output from E2E tests (`_digest_preview.html` or received email).
## Specialized Testing Types
- N/A for MVP. Performance, detailed security, accessibility, etc., are out of scope.
## Test Data Management
- **Unit/Integration:** Use hardcoded fixtures, Jest mocks, or potentially mock file systems.
- **Stage/E2E:** Relies on live data fetched from Algolia/websites during the test run itself, or uses the output files generated by preceding stage runs. The `--dry-run` option for `stage:email` avoids external SMTP interaction during testing loops.
## CI/CD Integration
- N/A for MVP (local execution only). If CI were implemented later, it would execute `npm run lint` and `npm run test` (unit/integration tests). Running stage tests in CI would require careful consideration due to external dependencies (Algolia, Ollama, SMTP, potentially rate limits).

# IDE Instructions for Agent Configuration
This document provides ideas and some initial guidance on how to set up custom agent modes in various integrated development environments (IDEs) to implement the BMAD Method workflow. Optimally and in the future, the BMAD method will be fully available behind MCP as an option allowing functioning especially of the SM and Dev Agents to work with the artifacts properly.
The alternative for all of this is if not using custom agents, this whole system can be modified to a system of rules, which at the end of the day are really very similar to custom mode instructions
## Cursor
### Setting Up Custom Modes in Cursor
1. **Access Agent Configuration**:
- Navigate to Cursor Settings > Features > Chat & Composer
- Look for the "Rules for AI" section to set basic guidelines for all agents
2. **Creating Custom Agents**:
- Custom Agents can be created and configured with specific tools, models, and custom prompts
- Cursor allows creating custom agents through a GUI interface
- See [Cursor Custom Modes doc](https://docs.cursor.com/chat/custom-modes#custom-modes)
3. **Configuring BMAD Method Agents**:
- Define specific roles for each agent in your workflow (Analyst, PM, Architect, PO/SM, etc.)
- Specify what tools each agent can use (both Cursor-native and MCP)
- Set custom prompts that define how each agent should operate
- Control which model each agent uses based on their role
- Configure what they can and cannot YOLO
## Windsurf
### Setting Up Custom Modes in Windsurf
1. **Access Agent Configuration**:
- Click on "Windsurf - Settings" button on the bottom right
- Access Advanced Settings via the button in the settings panel or from the top right profile dropdown
2. **Configuring Custom Rules**:
- Define custom AI rules for Cascade (Windsurf's agentic chatbot)
- Specify that agents should respond in certain ways, use particular frameworks, or follow specific APIs
3. **Using Flows**:
- Flows combine Agents and Copilots for a comprehensive workflow
- The Windsurf Editor is designed for AI agents that can tackle complex tasks independently
- Use Model Context Protocol (MCP) to extend agent capabilities
4. **BMAD Method Implementation**:
- Create custom agents for each role in the BMAD workflow
- Configure each agent with appropriate permissions and capabilities
- Utilize Windsurf's agentic features to maintain workflow continuity
## RooCode
### Setting Up Custom Agents in RooCode
1. **Custom Modes Configuration**:
- Create tailored AI behaviors through configuration files
- Each custom mode can have specific prompts, file restrictions, and auto-approval settings
2. **Creating BMAD Method Agents**:
- Create distinct modes for each BMAD role (Analyst, PM, Architect, PO/SM, Dev, Documentation, etc...)
- Customize each mode with tailored prompts specific to their role
- Configure file restrictions appropriate to each role (e.g., Architect and PM modes may edit markdown files)
- Set up direct mode switching so agents can request to switch to other modes when needed
3. **Model Configuration**:
- Configure different models per mode (e.g., advanced model for architecture vs. cheaper model for daily coding tasks)
- RooCode supports multiple API providers including OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Azure, and local models
4. **Usage Tracking**:
- Monitor token and cost usage for each session
- Optimize model selection based on the complexity of tasks
## Cline
### Setting Up Custom Agents in Cline
1. **Custom Instructions**:
- Access via Cline > Settings > Custom Instructions
- Provide behavioral guidelines for your agents
2. **Custom Tools Integration**:
- Cline can extend capabilities through the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- Ask Cline to "add a tool" and it will create a new MCP server tailored to your specific workflow
- Custom tools are saved locally at ~/Documents/Cline/MCP, making them easy to share with your team
3. **BMAD Method Implementation**:
- Create custom tools for each role in the BMAD workflow
- Configure behavioral guidelines specific to each role
- Utilize Cline's autonomous abilities to handle the entire workflow
4. **Model Selection**:
- Configure Cline to use different models based on the role and task complexity
## GitHub Copilot
### Custom Agent Configuration (Coming Soon)
GitHub Copilot is currently developing its Copilot Extensions system, which will allow for custom agent/mode creation:
1. **Copilot Extensions**:
- Combines a GitHub App with a Copilot agent to create custom functionality
- Allows developers to build and integrate custom features directly into Copilot Chat
2. **Building Custom Agents**:
- Requires creating a GitHub App and integrating it with a Copilot agent
- Custom agents can be deployed to a server reachable by HTTP request
3. **Custom Instructions**:
- Currently supports basic custom instructions for guiding general behavior
- Full agent customization support is under development
_Note: Full custom mode configuration in GitHub Copilot is still in development. Check GitHub's documentation for the latest updates._

# Architect Solution Validation Checklist
This checklist serves as a comprehensive framework for the Architect to validate the technical design and architecture before development execution. The Architect should systematically work through each item, ensuring the architecture is robust, scalable, secure, and aligned with the product requirements.
[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - REQUIRED ARTIFACTS
Before proceeding with this checklist, ensure you have access to:
1. architecture.md - The primary architecture document (check docs/architecture.md)
2. prd.md - Product Requirements Document for requirements alignment (check docs/prd.md)
3. frontend-architecture.md or fe-architecture.md - If this is a UI project (check docs/frontend-architecture.md)
4. Any system diagrams referenced in the architecture
5. API documentation if available
6. Technology stack details and version specifications
IMPORTANT: If any required documents are missing or inaccessible, immediately ask the user for their location or content before proceeding.
PROJECT TYPE DETECTION:
First, determine the project type by checking:
- Does the architecture include a frontend/UI component?
- Is there a frontend-architecture.md document?
- Does the PRD mention user interfaces or frontend requirements?
If this is a backend-only or service-only project:
- Skip sections marked with [[FRONTEND ONLY]]
- Focus extra attention on API design, service architecture, and integration patterns
- Note in your final report that frontend sections were skipped due to project type
VALIDATION APPROACH:
For each section, you must:
1. Deep Analysis - Don't just check boxes, thoroughly analyze each item against the provided documentation
2. Evidence-Based - Cite specific sections or quotes from the documents when validating
3. Critical Thinking - Question assumptions and identify gaps, not just confirm what's present
4. Risk Assessment - Consider what could go wrong with each architectural decision
EXECUTION MODE:
Ask the user if they want to work through the checklist:
- Section by section (interactive mode) - Review each section, present findings, get confirmation before proceeding
- All at once (comprehensive mode) - Complete full analysis and present comprehensive report at end]]
## 1. REQUIREMENTS ALIGNMENT

# Change Navigation Checklist
**Purpose:** To systematically guide the selected Agent and user through the analysis and planning required when a significant change (pivot, tech issue, missing requirement, failed story) is identified during the BMAD workflow.
**Instructions:** Review each item with the user. Mark `[x]` for completed/confirmed, `[N/A]` if not applicable, or add notes for discussion points.
[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - CHANGE NAVIGATION
Changes during development are inevitable, but how we handle them determines project success or failure.
Before proceeding, understand:
1. This checklist is for SIGNIFICANT changes that affect the project direction
2. Minor adjustments within a story don't require this process
3. The goal is to minimize wasted work while adapting to new realities
4. User buy-in is critical - they must understand and approve changes
Required context:
- The triggering story or issue
- Current project state (completed stories, current epic)
- Access to PRD, architecture, and other key documents
- Understanding of remaining work planned
APPROACH:
This is an interactive process with the user. Work through each section together, discussing implications and options. The user makes final decisions, but provide expert guidance on technical feasibility and impact.
REMEMBER: Changes are opportunities to improve, not failures. Handle them professionally and constructively.]]
---
## 1. Understand the Trigger & Context
[[LLM: Start by fully understanding what went wrong and why. Don't jump to solutions yet. Ask probing questions:
- What exactly happened that triggered this review?
- Is this a one-time issue or symptomatic of a larger problem?
- Could this have been anticipated earlier?
- What assumptions were incorrect?
Be specific and factual, not blame-oriented.]]
- [ ] **Identify Triggering Story:** Clearly identify the story (or stories) that revealed the issue.
- [ ] **Define the Issue:** Articulate the core problem precisely.
- [ ] Is it a technical limitation/dead-end?
- [ ] Is it a newly discovered requirement?
- [ ] Is it a fundamental misunderstanding of existing requirements?
- [ ] Is it a necessary pivot based on feedback or new information?
- [ ] Is it a failed/abandoned story needing a new approach?
- [ ] **Assess Initial Impact:** Describe the immediate observed consequences (e.g., blocked progress, incorrect functionality, non-viable tech).
- [ ] **Gather Evidence:** Note any specific logs, error messages, user feedback, or analysis that supports the issue definition.
## 2. Epic Impact Assessment
[[LLM: Changes ripple through the project structure. Systematically evaluate:
1. Can we salvage the current epic with modifications?
2. Do future epics still make sense given this change?
3. Are we creating or eliminating dependencies?
4. Does the epic sequence need reordering?
Think about both immediate and downstream effects.]]
- [ ] **Analyze Current Epic:**
- [ ] Can the current epic containing the trigger story still be completed?
- [ ] Does the current epic need modification (story changes, additions, removals)?
- [ ] Should the current epic be abandoned or fundamentally redefined?
- [ ] **Analyze Future Epics:**
- [ ] Review all remaining planned epics.
- [ ] Does the issue require changes to planned stories in future epics?
- [ ] Does the issue invalidate any future epics?
- [ ] Does the issue necessitate the creation of entirely new epics?
- [ ] Should the order/priority of future epics be changed?
- [ ] **Summarize Epic Impact:** Briefly document the overall effect on the project's epic structure and flow.
## 3. Artifact Conflict & Impact Analysis
[[LLM: Documentation drives development in BMAD. Check each artifact:
1. Does this change invalidate documented decisions?
2. Are architectural assumptions still valid?
3. Do user flows need rethinking?
4. Are technical constraints different than documented?
Be thorough - missed conflicts cause future problems.]]
- [ ] **Review PRD:**
- [ ] Does the issue conflict with the core goals or requirements stated in the PRD?
- [ ] Does the PRD need clarification or updates based on the new understanding?
- [ ] **Review Architecture Document:**
- [ ] Does the issue conflict with the documented architecture (components, patterns, tech choices)?
- [ ] Are specific components/diagrams/sections impacted?
- [ ] Does the technology list need updating?
- [ ] Do data models or schemas need revision?
- [ ] Are external API integrations affected?
- [ ] **Review Frontend Spec (if applicable):**
- [ ] Does the issue conflict with the FE architecture, component library choice, or UI/UX design?
- [ ] Are specific FE components or user flows impacted?
- [ ] **Review Other Artifacts (if applicable):**
- [ ] Consider impact on deployment scripts, IaC, monitoring setup, etc.
- [ ] **Summarize Artifact Impact:** List all artifacts requiring updates and the nature of the changes needed.
## 4. Path Forward Evaluation
[[LLM: Present options clearly with pros/cons. For each path:
1. What's the effort required?
2. What work gets thrown away?
3. What risks are we taking?
4. How does this affect timeline?
5. Is this sustainable long-term?
Be honest about trade-offs. There's rarely a perfect solution.]]
- [ ] **Option 1: Direct Adjustment / Integration:**
- [ ] Can the issue be addressed by modifying/adding future stories within the existing plan?
- [ ] Define the scope and nature of these adjustments.
- [ ] Assess feasibility, effort, and risks of this path.
- [ ] **Option 2: Potential Rollback:**
- [ ] Would reverting completed stories significantly simplify addressing the issue?
- [ ] Identify specific stories/commits to consider for rollback.
- [ ] Assess the effort required for rollback.
- [ ] Assess the impact of rollback (lost work, data implications).
- [ ] Compare the net benefit/cost vs. Direct Adjustment.
- [ ] **Option 3: PRD MVP Review & Potential Re-scoping:**
- [ ] Is the original PRD MVP still achievable given the issue and constraints?
- [ ] Does the MVP scope need reduction (removing features/epics)?
- [ ] Do the core MVP goals need modification?
- [ ] Are alternative approaches needed to meet the original MVP intent?
- [ ] **Extreme Case:** Does the issue necessitate a fundamental replan or potentially a new PRD V2 (to be handled by PM)?
- [ ] **Select Recommended Path:** Based on the evaluation, agree on the most viable path forward.
## 5. Sprint Change Proposal Components
[[LLM: The proposal must be actionable and clear. Ensure:
1. The issue is explained in plain language
2. Impacts are quantified where possible

# Product Owner (PO) Master Validation Checklist
This checklist serves as a comprehensive framework for the Product Owner to validate project plans before development execution. It adapts intelligently based on project type (greenfield vs brownfield) and includes UI/UX considerations when applicable.
[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - PO MASTER CHECKLIST
PROJECT TYPE DETECTION:
First, determine the project type by checking:
1. Is this a GREENFIELD project (new from scratch)?
- Look for: New project initialization, no existing codebase references
- Check for: prd.md, architecture.md, new project setup stories
2. Is this a BROWNFIELD project (enhancing existing system)?
- Look for: References to existing codebase, enhancement/modification language
- Check for: brownfield-prd.md, brownfield-architecture.md, existing system analysis
3. Does the project include UI/UX components?
- Check for: frontend-architecture.md, UI/UX specifications, design files
- Look for: Frontend stories, component specifications, user interface mentions
DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS:
Based on project type, ensure you have access to:
For GREENFIELD projects:
- prd.md - The Product Requirements Document
- architecture.md - The system architecture
- frontend-architecture.md - If UI/UX is involved
- All epic and story definitions
For BROWNFIELD projects:
- brownfield-prd.md - The brownfield enhancement requirements
- brownfield-architecture.md - The enhancement architecture
- Existing project codebase access (CRITICAL - cannot proceed without this)
- Current deployment configuration and infrastructure details
- Database schemas, API documentation, monitoring setup
SKIP INSTRUCTIONS:
- Skip sections marked [[BROWNFIELD ONLY]] for greenfield projects
- Skip sections marked [[GREENFIELD ONLY]] for brownfield projects
- Skip sections marked [[UI/UX ONLY]] for backend-only projects
- Note all skipped sections in your final report
VALIDATION APPROACH:
1. Deep Analysis - Thoroughly analyze each item against documentation
2. Evidence-Based - Cite specific sections or code when validating
3. Critical Thinking - Question assumptions and identify gaps
4. Risk Assessment - Consider what could go wrong with each decision

# Story Draft Checklist
The Scrum Master should use this checklist to validate that each story contains sufficient context for a developer agent to implement it successfully, while assuming the dev agent has reasonable capabilities to figure things out.
[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - STORY DRAFT VALIDATION
Before proceeding with this checklist, ensure you have access to:
1. The story document being validated (usually in docs/stories/ or provided directly)
2. The parent epic context
3. Any referenced architecture or design documents
4. Previous related stories if this builds on prior work
IMPORTANT: This checklist validates individual stories BEFORE implementation begins.
VALIDATION PRINCIPLES:
1. Clarity - A developer should understand WHAT to build
2. Context - WHY this is being built and how it fits
3. Guidance - Key technical decisions and patterns to follow
4. Testability - How to verify the implementation works
5. Self-Contained - Most info needed is in the story itself
REMEMBER: We assume competent developer agents who can:
- Research documentation and codebases
- Make reasonable technical decisions
- Follow established patterns
- Ask for clarification when truly stuck
We're checking for SUFFICIENT guidance, not exhaustive detail.]]
## 1. GOAL & CONTEXT CLARITY
[[LLM: Without clear goals, developers build the wrong thing. Verify:
1. The story states WHAT functionality to implement
2. The business value or user benefit is clear
3. How this fits into the larger epic/product is explained
4. Dependencies are explicit ("requires Story X to be complete")
5. Success looks like something specific, not vague]]
- [ ] Story goal/purpose is clearly stated
- [ ] Relationship to epic goals is evident
- [ ] How the story fits into overall system flow is explained
- [ ] Dependencies on previous stories are identified (if applicable)
- [ ] Business context and value are clear
## 2. TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE
[[LLM: Developers need enough technical context to start coding. Check:
1. Key files/components to create or modify are mentioned
2. Technology choices are specified where non-obvious
3. Integration points with existing code are identified
4. Data models or API contracts are defined or referenced
5. Non-standard patterns or exceptions are called out
Note: We don't need every file listed - just the important ones.]]
- [ ] Key files to create/modify are identified (not necessarily exhaustive)
- [ ] Technologies specifically needed for this story are mentioned
- [ ] Critical APIs or interfaces are sufficiently described
- [ ] Necessary data models or structures are referenced
- [ ] Required environment variables are listed (if applicable)
- [ ] Any exceptions to standard coding patterns are noted
## 3. REFERENCE EFFECTIVENESS
[[LLM: References should help, not create a treasure hunt. Ensure:
1. References point to specific sections, not whole documents
2. The relevance of each reference is explained
3. Critical information is summarized in the story
4. References are accessible (not broken links)
5. Previous story context is summarized if needed]]
- [ ] References to external documents point to specific relevant sections
- [ ] Critical information from previous stories is summarized (not just referenced)
- [ ] Context is provided for why references are relevant
- [ ] References use consistent format (e.g., `docs/filename.md#section`)
## 4. SELF-CONTAINMENT ASSESSMENT
[[LLM: Stories should be mostly self-contained to avoid context switching. Verify:
1. Core requirements are in the story, not just in references
2. Domain terms are explained or obvious from context
3. Assumptions are stated explicitly
4. Edge cases are mentioned (even if deferred)
5. The story could be understood without reading 10 other documents]]
- [ ] Core information needed is included (not overly reliant on external docs)
- [ ] Implicit assumptions are made explicit
- [ ] Domain-specific terms or concepts are explained
- [ ] Edge cases or error scenarios are addressed
## 5. TESTING GUIDANCE
[[LLM: Testing ensures the implementation actually works. Check:
1. Test approach is specified (unit, integration, e2e)
2. Key test scenarios are listed
3. Success criteria are measurable
4. Special test considerations are noted
5. Acceptance criteria in the story are testable]]
- [ ] Required testing approach is outlined
- [ ] Key test scenarios are identified
- [ ] Success criteria are defined
- [ ] Special testing considerations are noted (if applicable)
## VALIDATION RESULT
[[LLM: FINAL STORY VALIDATION REPORT
Generate a concise validation report:
1. Quick Summary
- Story readiness: READY / NEEDS REVISION / BLOCKED
- Clarity score (1-10)
- Major gaps identified
2. Fill in the validation table with:
- PASS: Requirements clearly met
- PARTIAL: Some gaps but workable
- FAIL: Critical information missing
3. Specific Issues (if any)
- List concrete problems to fix
- Suggest specific improvements
- Identify any blocking dependencies
4. Developer Perspective
- Could YOU implement this story as written?
- What questions would you have?
- What might cause delays or rework?
Be pragmatic - perfect documentation doesn't exist. Focus on whether a competent developer can succeed with this story.]]

# BMAD Knowledge Base
## Overview
BMAD-METHOD (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI-driven Development) is a framework that combines AI agents with Agile development methodologies. The v4 system introduces a modular architecture with improved dependency management, bundle optimization, and support for both web and IDE environments.
### Key Features
- **Modular Agent System**: Specialized AI agents for each Agile role
- **Build System**: Automated dependency resolution and optimization
- **Dual Environment Support**: Optimized for both web UIs and IDEs
- **Reusable Resources**: Portable templates, tasks, and checklists
- **Slash Command Integration**: Quick agent switching and control
## Core Philosophy
### Vibe CEO'ing
You are the "Vibe CEO" - thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team, and your role is to:
- **Direct**: Provide clear instructions and objectives
- **Refine**: Iterate on outputs to achieve quality
- **Oversee**: Maintain strategic alignment across all agents
### Core Principles
1. **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE**: Push the AI to deliver more. Challenge outputs and iterate.
2. **QUALITY_CONTROL**: You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs.
3. **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT**: Maintain the high-level vision and ensure alignment.
4. **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT**: Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process.
5. **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS**: Precise requests lead to better outputs.
6. **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY**: Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs.
7. **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST**: Test concepts, then expand.
8. **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS**: Adapt and overcome challenges.
## IDE Development Workflow
1. Shard the PRD (And Architecture documents if they exist also based on workflow type) using the Doc Shard task. The BMad-Master agent can help you do this. You will select the task, provide the doc to shard and the output folder. for example: `BMad Master, please Shard the docs/prd.md to the doc/prd/ folder` - this should ask you to use the md-tree-parser which is recommended, but either way shoudl result in multiple documents being created in the folder docs/prd.
2. If you have fullstack, front end and or back end architecture documents you will want to follow the same thing, but shard all of these to an architecture folder instead of a prd folder.
3. Ensure that you have at least one epic-n.md file in your prd folder, with the stories in order to develop.
4. The docs or architecture folder or prd folder should have a source tree document and coding standards at a minimum. These are used by the dev agent, and the many other sharded docs are used by the SM agent.
5. Use a new chat window to allow the SM agent to `draft the next story`.
6. If you agree the story is correct, mark it as approved in the status field, and then start a new chat window with the dev agent.
7. Ask the dev agent to implement the next story. If you draft the story file into the chat it will save time for the dev to have to find what the next one is. The dev should follow the tasks and subtasks marking them off as they are completed. The dev agent will also leave notes potentially for the SM to know about any deviations that might have occured to help draft the next story.
8. Once complete and you have verified, mark it done, and start a new chat. Ask the SM to draft the next story - repeating the cycle.
With this work flow, there is only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially.

# Advanced Elicitation Task
## Purpose
- Provide optional reflective and brainstorming actions to enhance content quality
- Enable deeper exploration of ideas through structured elicitation techniques
- Support iterative refinement through multiple analytical perspectives
## Task Instructions
### 1. Section Context and Review
[[LLM: When invoked after outputting a section:
1. First, provide a brief 1-2 sentence summary of what the user should look for in the section just presented (e.g., "Please review the technology choices for completeness and alignment with your project needs. Pay special attention to version numbers and any missing categories.")
2. If the section contains Mermaid diagrams, explain each diagram briefly before offering elicitation options (e.g., "The component diagram shows the main system modules and their interactions. Notice how the API Gateway routes requests to different services.")
3. If the section contains multiple distinct items (like multiple components, multiple patterns, etc.), inform the user they can apply elicitation actions to:
- The entire section as a whole
- Individual items within the section (specify which item when selecting an action)
4. Then present the action list as specified below.]]
### 2. Ask for Review and Present Action List
[[LLM: Ask the user to review the drafted section.

```
### 2. Processing Guidelines
**Do NOT show:**
- The full protocol text with `[[LLM: ...]]` instructions
- Detailed explanations of each option unless executing or the user asks, when giving the definition you can modify to tie its relevance
- Any internal template markup
**After user selection from the list:**
- Execute the chosen action according to the protocol instructions below
- Ask if they want to select another action or proceed with option 9 once complete
- Continue until user selects option 9 or indicates completion
## Action Definitions
0. Expand or Contract for Audience
[[LLM: Ask the user whether they want to 'expand' on the content (add more detail, elaborate) or 'contract' it (simplify, clarify, make more concise). Also, ask if there's a specific target audience they have in mind. Once clarified, perform the expansion or contraction from your current role's perspective, tailored to the specified audience if provided.]]
1. Explain Reasoning (CoT Step-by-Step)
[[LLM: Explain the step-by-step thinking process, characteristic of your role, that you used to arrive at the current proposal for this content.]]
2. Critique and Refine
[[LLM: From your current role's perspective, review your last output or the current section for flaws, inconsistencies, or areas for improvement, and then suggest a refined version reflecting your expertise.]]
3. Analyze Logical Flow and Dependencies
[[LLM: From your role's standpoint, examine the content's structure for logical progression, internal consistency, and any relevant dependencies. Confirm if elements are presented in an effective order.]]
4. Assess Alignment with Overall Goals
[[LLM: Evaluate how well the current content contributes to the stated overall goals of the document, interpreting this from your specific role's perspective and identifying any misalignments you perceive.]]
5. Identify Potential Risks and Unforeseen Issues
[[LLM: Based on your role's expertise, brainstorm potential risks, overlooked edge cases, or unintended consequences related to the current content or proposal.]]
6. Challenge from Critical Perspective (Self or Other Persona)
[[LLM: Adopt a critical perspective on the current content. If the user specifies another role or persona (e.g., 'as a customer', 'as [Another Persona Name]'), critique the content or play devil's advocate from that specified viewpoint. If no other role is specified, play devil's advocate from your own current persona's viewpoint, arguing against the proposal or current content and highlighting weaknesses or counterarguments specific to your concerns. This can also randomly include YAGNI when appropriate, such as when trimming the scope of an MVP, the perspective might challenge the need for something to cut MVP scope.]]
7. Explore Diverse Alternatives (ToT-Inspired)
[[LLM: From your role's perspective, first broadly brainstorm a range of diverse approaches or solutions to the current topic. Then, from this wider exploration, select and present 2 distinct alternatives, detailing the pros, cons, and potential implications you foresee for each.]]
8. Hindsight is 20/20: The 'If Only...' Reflection
[[LLM: In your current persona, imagine it's a retrospective for a project based on the current content. What's the one 'if only we had known/done X...' that your role would humorously or dramatically highlight, along with the imagined consequences?]]
9. Proceed / No Further Actions
[[LLM: Acknowledge the user's choice to finalize the current work, accept the AI's last output as is, or move on to the next step without selecting another action from this list. Prepare to proceed accordingly.]]

# Correct Course Task
## Purpose
- Guide a structured response to a change trigger using the `change-checklist`.
- Analyze the impacts of the change on epics, project artifacts, and the MVP, guided by the checklist's structure.
- Explore potential solutions (e.g., adjust scope, rollback elements, rescope features) as prompted by the checklist.
- Draft specific, actionable proposed updates to any affected project artifacts (e.g., epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document sections) based on the analysis.
- Produce a consolidated "Sprint Change Proposal" document that contains the impact analysis and the clearly drafted proposed edits for user review and approval.
- Ensure a clear handoff path if the nature of the changes necessitates fundamental replanning by other core agents (like PM or Architect).
## Instructions
### 1. Initial Setup & Mode Selection
- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:**
- Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated.
- Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact.
- Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `change-checklist` (e.g., `change-checklist`).
- **Establish Interaction Mode:**
- Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task:
- **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the `change-checklist` section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement."
- **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals."
- Request the user to select their preferred mode.
- Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode (e.g., "Okay, we will proceed in Incremental mode."). This chosen mode will govern how subsequent steps in this task are executed.
- **Explain Process:** Briefly inform the user: "We will now use the `change-checklist` to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode."
<rule>When asking multiple questions or presenting multiple points for user input at once, number them clearly (e.g., 1., 2a., 2b.) to make it easier for the user to provide specific responses.</rule>
### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode)
- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the `change-checklist` (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation).
- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode):
- Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user.
- Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact.
- Discuss your findings for each item with the user.
- Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions.
- Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist.
### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched)
- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect):
- Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams).
- **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include:
- Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority.
- Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics.
- Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram).
- Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents.
- Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision).
- If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted.
- If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step.
### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits
- Synthesize the complete `change-checklist` analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the `change-checklist` (Proposal Components).
- The proposal must clearly present:
- **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward.
- **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]").
- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user.
### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps
- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it.
- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user.
- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:**
- **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate.
- **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort.
## Output Deliverables
- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain:
- A summary of the `change-checklist` analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path).
- Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts.
- **Implicit:** An annotated `change-checklist` (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process.

# Create Document from Template Task
## Purpose
- Generate documents from any specified template following embedded instructions from the perspective of the selected agent persona
## Instructions
### 1. Identify Template and Context
- Determine which template to use (user-provided or list available for selection to user)
- Agent-specific templates are listed in the agent's dependencies under `templates`. For each template listed, consider it a document the agent can create. So if an agent has:
@{example}
dependencies:
templates: - prd-tmpl - architecture-tmpl
@{/example}
You would offer to create "PRD" and "Architecture" documents when the user asks what you can help with.
- Gather all relevant inputs, or ask for them, or else rely on user providing necessary details to complete the document
- Understand the document purpose and target audience
### 2. Determine Interaction Mode
Confirm with the user their preferred interaction style:
- **Incremental:** Work through chunks of the document.
- **YOLO Mode:** Draft complete document making reasonable assumptions in one shot. (Can be entered also after starting incremental by just typing /yolo)
### 3. Execute Template
- Load specified template from `templates#*` or the /templates directory
- Follow ALL embedded LLM instructions within the template
- Process template markup according to `utils#template-format` conventions
### 4. Template Processing Rules
#### CRITICAL: Never display template markup, LLM instructions, or examples to users
- Replace all {{placeholders}} with actual content
- Execute all [[LLM: instructions]] internally
- Process `<<REPEAT>>` sections as needed
- Evaluate ^^CONDITION^^ blocks and include only if applicable
- Use @{examples} for guidance but never output them
### 5. Content Generation
- **Incremental Mode**: Present each major section for review before proceeding
- **YOLO Mode**: Generate all sections, then review complete document with user
- Apply any elicitation protocols specified in template
- Incorporate user feedback and iterate as needed
### 6. Validation
If template specifies a checklist:
- Run the appropriate checklist against completed document
- Document completion status for each item
- Address any deficiencies found
- Present validation summary to user
### 7. Final Presentation
- Present clean, formatted content only
- Ensure all sections are complete
- DO NOT truncate or summarize content
- Begin directly with document content (no preamble)
- Include any handoff prompts specified in template
## Important Notes
- Template markup is for AI processing only - never expose to users

# Create Next Story Task
## Purpose
To identify the next logical story based on project progress and epic definitions, and then to prepare a comprehensive, self-contained, and actionable story file using the `Story Template`. This task ensures the story is enriched with all necessary technical context, requirements, and acceptance criteria, making it ready for efficient implementation by a Developer Agent with minimal need for additional research.
## Inputs for this Task
- Access to the project's documentation repository, specifically:
- `docs/index.md` (hereafter "Index Doc")
- All Epic files - located in one of these locations:
- Primary: `docs/prd/epic-{n}-{description}.md` (e.g., `epic-1-foundation-core-infrastructure.md`)
- Secondary: `docs/epics/epic-{n}-{description}.md`
- User-specified location if not found in above paths
- Existing story files in `docs/stories/`
- Main PRD (hereafter "PRD Doc")
- Main Architecture Document (hereafter "Main Arch Doc")
- Frontend Architecture Document (hereafter "Frontend Arch Doc," if relevant)
- Project Structure Guide (`docs/project-structure.md`)
- Operational Guidelines Document (`docs/operational-guidelines.md`)
- Technology Stack Document (`docs/tech-stack.md`)
- Data Models Document (as referenced in Index Doc)
- API Reference Document (as referenced in Index Doc)
- UI/UX Specifications, Style Guides, Component Guides (if relevant, as referenced in Index Doc)
- The `bmad-core/templates/story-tmpl.md` (hereafter "Story Template")
- The `bmad-core/checklists/story-draft-checklist.md` (hereafter "Story Draft Checklist")
- User confirmation to proceed with story identification and, if needed, to override warnings about incomplete prerequisite stories.
## Task Execution Instructions
### 1. Identify Next Story for Preparation
#### 1.1 Locate Epic Files
- First, determine where epic files are located:
- Check `docs/prd/` for files matching pattern `epic-{n}-*.md`
- If not found, check `docs/epics/` for files matching pattern `epic-{n}-*.md`
- If still not found, ask user: "Unable to locate epic files. Please specify the path where epic files are stored."
- Note: Epic files follow naming convention `epic-{n}-{description}.md` (e.g., `epic-1-foundation-core-infrastructure.md`)
#### 1.2 Review Existing Stories
- Review `docs/stories/` to find the highest-numbered story file.
- **If a highest story file exists (`{lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md`):**
- Verify its `Status` is 'Done' (or equivalent).
- If not 'Done', present an alert to the user:
```plaintext
ALERT: Found incomplete story:
File: {lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md
Status: [current status]
Would you like to:
1. View the incomplete story details (instructs user to do so, agent does not display)
2. Cancel new story creation at this time
3. Accept risk & Override to create the next story in draft
Please choose an option (1/2/3):
```
- Proceed only if user selects option 3 (Override) or if the last story was 'Done'.
- If proceeding: Look for the Epic File for `{lastEpicNum}` (e.g., `epic-{lastEpicNum}-*.md`) and check for a story numbered `{lastStoryNum + 1}`. If it exists and its prerequisites (per Epic File) are met, this is the next story.
- Else (story not found or prerequisites not met): The next story is the first story in the next Epic File (e.g., look for `epic-{lastEpicNum + 1}-*.md`, then `epic-{lastEpicNum + 2}-*.md`, etc.) whose prerequisites are met.
- **If no story files exist in `docs/stories/`:**
- The next story is the first story in the first epic file (look for `epic-1-*.md`, then `epic-2-*.md`, etc.) whose prerequisites are met.
- If no suitable story with met prerequisites is found, report to the user that story creation is blocked, specifying what prerequisites are pending. HALT task.
- Announce the identified story to the user: "Identified next story for preparation: {epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}".
### 2. Gather Core Story Requirements (from Epic File)
- For the identified story, open its parent Epic File (e.g., `epic-{epicNum}-*.md` from the location identified in step 1.1).
- Extract: Exact Title, full Goal/User Story statement, initial list of Requirements, all Acceptance Criteria (ACs), and any predefined high-level Tasks.
- Keep a record of this original epic-defined scope for later deviation analysis.
### 3. Review Previous Story and Extract Dev Notes
[[LLM: This step is CRITICAL for continuity and learning from implementation experience]]
- If this is not the first story (i.e., previous story exists):
- Read the previous story file: `docs/stories/{prevEpicNum}.{prevStoryNum}.story.md`
- Pay special attention to:
- Dev Agent Record sections (especially Completion Notes and Debug Log References)
- Any deviations from planned implementation
- Technical decisions made during implementation
- Challenges encountered and solutions applied
- Any "lessons learned" or notes for future stories
- Extract relevant insights that might inform the current story's preparation
### 4. Gather & Synthesize Architecture Context from Sharded Docs
[[LLM: CRITICAL - You MUST gather technical details from the sharded architecture documents. NEVER make up technical details not found in these documents.]]
#### 4.1 Start with Architecture Index
- Read `docs/architecture/index.md` to understand the full scope of available documentation
- Identify which sharded documents are most relevant to the current story
#### 4.2 Recommended Reading Order Based on Story Type
[[LLM: Read documents in this order, but ALWAYS verify relevance to the specific story. Skip irrelevant sections but NEVER skip documents that contain information needed for the story.]]
**For ALL Stories:**
1. `docs/architecture/tech-stack.md` - Understand technology constraints and versions
2. `docs/architecture/unified-project-structure.md` - Know where code should be placed
3. `docs/architecture/coding-standards.md` - Ensure dev follows project conventions
4. `docs/architecture/testing-strategy.md` - Include testing requirements in tasks
**For Backend/API Stories, additionally read:** 5. `docs/architecture/data-models.md` - Data structures and validation rules 6. `docs/architecture/database-schema.md` - Database design and relationships 7. `docs/architecture/backend-architecture.md` - Service patterns and structure 8. `docs/architecture/rest-api-spec.md` - API endpoint specifications 9. `docs/architecture/external-apis.md` - Third-party integrations (if relevant)
**For Frontend/UI Stories, additionally read:** 5. `docs/architecture/frontend-architecture.md` - Component structure and patterns 6. `docs/architecture/components.md` - Specific component designs 7. `docs/architecture/core-workflows.md` - User interaction flows 8. `docs/architecture/data-models.md` - Frontend data handling
**For Full-Stack Stories:**
- Read both Backend and Frontend sections above
#### 4.3 Extract Story-Specific Technical Details
[[LLM: As you read each document, extract ONLY the information directly relevant to implementing the current story. Do NOT include general information unless it directly impacts the story implementation.]]
For each relevant document, extract:
- Specific data models, schemas, or structures the story will use
- API endpoints the story must implement or consume
- Component specifications for UI elements in the story
- File paths and naming conventions for new code
- Testing requirements specific to the story's features
- Security or performance considerations affecting the story
#### 4.4 Document Source References
[[LLM: ALWAYS cite the source document and section for each technical detail you include. This helps the dev agent verify information if needed.]]
Format references as: `[Source: architecture/{filename}.md#{section}]`
### 5. Verify Project Structure Alignment
- Cross-reference the story's requirements and anticipated file manipulations with the Project Structure Guide from `docs/architecture/unified-project-structure.md`.
- Ensure any file paths, component locations, or module names implied by the story align with defined structures.
- Document any structural conflicts, necessary clarifications, or undefined components/paths in a "Project Structure Notes" section within the story draft.
### 6. Populate Story Template with Full Context
- Create a new story file: `docs/stories/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md`.
- Use the Story Template to structure the file.
- Fill in:
- Story `{EpicNum}.{StoryNum}: {Short Title Copied from Epic File}`
- `Status: Draft`
- `Story` (User Story statement from Epic)
- `Acceptance Criteria (ACs)` (from Epic, to be refined if needed based on context)
- **`Dev Technical Guidance` section (CRITICAL):**
[[LLM: This section MUST contain ONLY information extracted from the architecture shards. NEVER invent or assume technical details.]]
- Include ALL relevant technical details gathered from Steps 3 and 4, organized by category:
- **Previous Story Insights**: Key learnings or considerations from the previous story
- **Data Models**: Specific schemas, validation rules, relationships [with source references]
- **API Specifications**: Endpoint details, request/response formats, auth requirements [with source references]
- **Component Specifications**: UI component details, props, state management [with source references]
- **File Locations**: Exact paths where new code should be created based on project structure
- **Testing Requirements**: Specific test cases or strategies from testing-strategy.md
- **Technical Constraints**: Version requirements, performance considerations, security rules
- Every technical detail MUST include its source reference: `[Source: architecture/{filename}.md#{section}]`
- If information for a category is not found in the architecture docs, explicitly state: "No specific guidance found in architecture docs"
- **`Tasks / Subtasks` section:**
- Generate a detailed, sequential list of technical tasks based ONLY on:
- Requirements from the Epic
- Technical constraints from architecture shards
- Project structure from unified-project-structure.md
- Testing requirements from testing-strategy.md
- Each task must reference relevant architecture documentation
- Include unit testing as explicit subtasks based on testing-strategy.md
- Link tasks to ACs where applicable (e.g., `Task 1 (AC: 1, 3)`)
- Add notes on project structure alignment or discrepancies found in Step 5.
- Prepare content for the "Deviation Analysis" based on any conflicts between epic requirements and architecture constraints.
### 7. Run Story Draft Checklist
- Execute the Story Draft Checklist against the prepared story
- Document any issues or gaps identified
- Make necessary adjustments to meet quality standards
- Ensure all technical guidance is properly sourced from architecture docs
### 8. Finalize Story File
- Review all sections for completeness and accuracy
- Verify all source references are included for technical details
- Ensure tasks align with both epic requirements and architecture constraints
- Update status to "Draft"
- Save the story file to `docs/stories/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md`
### 9. Report Completion
Provide a summary to the user including:
- Story created: `{epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}`
- Status: Draft
- Key technical components included from architecture docs
- Any deviations or conflicts noted between epic and architecture
- Recommendations for story review before approval
- Next steps: Story should be reviewed by PO for approval before dev work begins
[[LLM: Remember - The success of this task depends on extracting real, specific technical details from the architecture shards. The dev agent should have everything they need in the story file without having to search through multiple documents.]]

# Document Migration Task
## Purpose
Simple document migration that cleans up heading formats and adds epic structure for PRDs.
## Task Requirements
1. **Input**: User specifies the document to migrate (e.g., `docs/prd.md`)
2. **Detection**: Automatically determine if it's a PRD or other document type
3. **Migration**: Apply appropriate transformations
4. **Backup**: Create backup with `.bak` extension
## Migration Rules
### For PRDs
- Find all level 3 headings that appear to be epics
- Add a level 2 heading "## Epic #" (incrementing number) before each epic
- Also apply the heading cleanup rules below
### For All Documents
- Find all level 2 headings (`## ...`)
- Remove leading numbers and symbols
- Keep only alphabetic characters and spaces
- **CRITICAL**: Do not lose any information - preserve all content under appropriate headings
- Examples:
- `## 1. Foo & Bar``## Foo Bar`
- `## 2.1 Technical Overview``## Technical Overview`
- `## 3) User Experience``## User Experience`
### For Architecture Documents
- **PRIMARY GOAL**: Align level 2 headings to match template level 2 titles exactly
- **PRESERVE EVERYTHING**: Do not lose any information during migration
- Map existing content to the closest matching template section
- If content doesn't fit template sections, create appropriate level 3 subsections
## Detection Logic
A document is considered a PRD if:
- Filename contains "prd" (case insensitive)
- OR main title contains "Product Requirements" or "PRD"
- OR contains sections like "User Stories", "Functional Requirements", "Acceptance Criteria"
## Implementation Steps
1. **Backup Original**: Copy `filename.md` to `filename.md.bak`
2. **Detect Type**: Check if document is a PRD
3. **Process Headings**:
- Clean all level 2 headings
- If PRD: Add epic structure before level 3 headings that look like epics
4. **Write Result**: Overwrite original file with migrated content
## Epic Detection for PRDs
Level 3 headings are treated as epics if they:
- Describe features or functionality
- Are substantial sections (not just "Overview" or "Notes")
- Common epic patterns: "User Management", "Payment Processing", "Reporting Dashboard"
The epic numbering starts at 1 and increments for each epic found.
## Example
### Before (PRD):
`````markdown
# Product Requirements Document
## 1. Executive Summary
Content here...
## 2.1 Functional Requirements & Specs
Content here...
### User Management System
Epic content...
### Payment Processing
Epic content...
## 3) Success Metrics

### After (PRD):
```markdown
# Product Requirements Document

# Document an Existing Project
## Purpose
Generate comprehensive documentation for existing projects optimized for AI development agents. This task creates structured reference materials that enable AI agents to understand project context, conventions, and patterns for effective contribution to any codebase.
## Task Instructions
### 1. Initial Project Analysis
[[LLM: Begin by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the existing project. Use available tools to:
1. **Project Structure Discovery**: Examine the root directory structure, identify main folders, and understand the overall organization
2. **Technology Stack Identification**: Look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc. to identify languages, frameworks, and dependencies
3. **Build System Analysis**: Find build scripts, CI/CD configurations, and development commands
4. **Existing Documentation Review**: Check for README files, docs folders, and any existing documentation
5. **Code Pattern Analysis**: Sample key files to understand coding patterns, naming conventions, and architectural approaches
Ask the user these elicitation questions to better understand their needs:
- What is the primary purpose of this project?
- Are there any specific areas of the codebase that are particularly complex or important for agents to understand?
- What types of tasks do you expect AI agents to perform on this project? (e.g., bug fixes, feature additions, refactoring, testing)
- Are there any existing documentation standards or formats you prefer?
- What level of technical detail should the documentation target? (junior developers, senior developers, mixed team)
]]

[[LLM: Before completing each document:
1. **Accuracy Check**: Verify all file paths, commands, and code examples work
2. **Completeness Review**: Ensure the document covers the most important patterns an agent would encounter
3. **Clarity Assessment**: Check that explanations are clear and actionable
4. **Consistency Verification**: Ensure terminology and patterns align across all documents
5. **Agent Perspective**: Review from the viewpoint of an AI agent that needs to contribute to this project
Ask the user to review each completed document and use the advanced elicitation task to refine based on their feedback.]]
### 7. Final Integration
[[LLM: After all documents are completed:
1. Ensure all documents are created in the proper BMAD-expected locations:
- Core docs in `docs/` (index.md, prd.md)
- Architecture shards in `docs/architecture/` subdirectory
- Create the `docs/architecture/` directory if it doesn't exist
2. Create/update the master index documents:
- Update `docs/index.md` to reference all documentation
- Create `docs/architecture/index.md` listing all architecture shards
3. Verify document cross-references:
- Ensure all documents link to related documentation
- Check that file paths match the actual project structure
- Validate that examples reference real files in the project
4. Provide maintenance guidance:
- Document update triggers (when to update each doc)
- Create a simple checklist for keeping docs current
- Suggest automated validation approaches
5. Summary report including:
- List of all documents created with their paths
- Any gaps or areas needing human review
- Recommendations for project-specific additions
- Next steps for maintaining documentation accuracy
Present a summary of what was created and ask if any additional documentation would be helpful for AI agents working on this specific project.]]
## Success Criteria
- Documentation enables AI agents to understand project context without additional explanation
- All major architectural patterns and coding conventions are captured
- Examples reference actual project files and demonstrate real usage
- Documentation is structured consistently and easy to navigate
- Content is actionable and focuses on what agents need to do, not just understand
## Notes
- This task is designed to work with any project type, language, or framework
- The documentation should reflect the project as it actually is, not as it should be
- Focus on patterns that agents can recognize and replicate consistently
- Include both positive examples (what to do) and negative examples (what to avoid)

# Checklist Validation Task
This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent MUST follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
## Context
The BMAD Method uses various checklists to ensure quality and completeness of different artifacts. Each checklist contains embedded prompts and instructions to guide the LLM through thorough validation and advanced elicitation. The checklists automatically identify their required artifacts and guide the validation process.
## Available Checklists
If the user asks or does not specify a specific checklist, list the checklists available to the agent persona. If the task is being run not with a specific agent, tell the user to check the bmad-core/checklists folder to select the appropriate one to run.
## Instructions
1. **Initial Assessment**
- If user or the task being run provides a checklist name:
- Try fuzzy matching (e.g. "architecture checklist" -> "architect-checklist")
- If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
- Load the appropriate checklist from bmad-core/checklists/
- If no checklist specified:
- Ask the user which checklist they want to use
- Present the available options from the files in the checklists folder
- Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
- Section by section (interactive mode - very time consuming)
- All at once (YOLO mode - recommended for checklists, there will be a summary of sections at the end to discuss)
2. **Document and Artifact Gathering**
- Each checklist will specify its required documents/artifacts at the beginning
- Follow the checklist's specific instructions for what to gather, generally a file can be resolved in the docs folder, if not or unsure, halt and ask or confirm with the user.
3. **Checklist Processing**
If in interactive mode:
- Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
- For each section:
- Review all items in the section following instructions for that section embedded in the checklist
- Check each item against the relevant documentation or artifacts as appropriate
- Present summary of findings for that section, highlighting warnings, errors and non applicable items (rationale for non-applicability).
- Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section or if any thing major do we need to halt and take corrective action
If in YOLO mode:
- Process all sections at once
- Create a comprehensive report of all findings
- Present the complete analysis to the user
4. **Validation Approach**
For each checklist item:
- Read and understand the requirement
- Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
- Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
- Aside from this, follow all checklist llm instructions
- Mark items as:
- ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
- ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
- ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
- N/A: Not applicable to this case
5. **Section Analysis**
For each section:
- think step by step to calculate pass rate
- Identify common themes in failed items
- Provide specific recommendations for improvement
- In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
- Document any user decisions or explanations
6. **Final Report**
Prepare a summary that includes:
- Overall checklist completion status
- Pass rates by section
- List of failed items with context
- Specific recommendations for improvement
- Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
## Checklist Execution Methodology
Each checklist now contains embedded LLM prompts and instructions that will:
1. **Guide thorough thinking** - Prompts ensure deep analysis of each section
2. **Request specific artifacts** - Clear instructions on what documents/access is needed
3. **Provide contextual guidance** - Section-specific prompts for better validation
4. **Generate comprehensive reports** - Final summary with detailed findings
The LLM will:
- Execute the complete checklist validation
- Present a final report with pass/fail rates and key findings
- Offer to provide detailed analysis of any section, especially those with warnings or failures

# Create AI Frontend Prompt Task
## Purpose
To generate a masterful, comprehensive, and optimized prompt that can be used with any AI-driven frontend development tool (e.g., Vercel v0, Lovable.ai, or similar) to scaffold or generate significant portions of a frontend application.
## Inputs
- Completed UI/UX Specification (`front-end-spec`)
- Completed Frontend Architecture Document (`front-end-architecture`) or a full stack combined architecture such as `architecture.md`
- Main System Architecture Document (`architecture` - for API contracts and tech stack to give further context)
## Key Activities & Instructions
### 1. Core Prompting Principles
Before generating the prompt, you must understand these core principles for interacting with a generative AI for code.
- **Be Explicit and Detailed**: The AI cannot read your mind. Provide as much detail and context as possible. Vague requests lead to generic or incorrect outputs.
- **Iterate, Don't Expect Perfection**: Generating an entire complex application in one go is rare. The most effective method is to prompt for one component or one section at a time, then build upon the results.
- **Provide Context First**: Always start by providing the AI with the necessary context, such as the tech stack, existing code snippets, and overall project goals.
- **Mobile-First Approach**: Frame all UI generation requests with a mobile-first design mindset. Describe the mobile layout first, then provide separate instructions for how it should adapt for tablet and desktop.
### 2. The Structured Prompting Framework
To ensure the highest quality output, you MUST structure every prompt using the following four-part framework.
1. **High-Level Goal**: Start with a clear, concise summary of the overall objective. This orients the AI on the primary task.
- _Example: "Create a responsive user registration form with client-side validation and API integration."_
2. **Detailed, Step-by-Step Instructions**: Provide a granular, numbered list of actions the AI should take. Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps. This is the most critical part of the prompt.
- _Example: "1. Create a new file named `RegistrationForm.js`. 2. Use React hooks for state management. 3. Add styled input fields for 'Name', 'Email', and 'Password'. 4. For the email field, ensure it is a valid email format. 5. On submission, call the API endpoint defined below."_
3. **Code Examples, Data Structures & Constraints**: Include any relevant snippets of existing code, data structures, or API contracts. This gives the AI concrete examples to work with. Crucially, you must also state what _not_ to do.
- _Example: "Use this API endpoint: `POST /api/register`. The expected JSON payload is `{ "name": "string", "email": "string", "password": "string" }`. Do NOT include a 'confirm password' field. Use Tailwind CSS for all styling."_
4. **Define a Strict Scope**: Explicitly define the boundaries of the task. Tell the AI which files it can modify and, more importantly, which files to leave untouched to prevent unintended changes across the codebase.
- _Example: "You should only create the `RegistrationForm.js` component and add it to the `pages/register.js` file. Do NOT alter the `Navbar.js` component or any other existing page or component."_
### 3. Assembling the Master Prompt
You will now synthesize the inputs and the above principles into a final, comprehensive prompt.
1. **Gather Foundational Context**:
- Start the prompt with a preamble describing the overall project purpose, the full tech stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), and the primary UI component library being used.
2. **Describe the Visuals**:
- If the user has design files (Figma, etc.), instruct them to provide links or screenshots.
- If not, describe the visual style: color palette, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic (e.g., "minimalist", "corporate", "playful").
3. **Build the Prompt using the Structured Framework**:
- Follow the four-part framework from Section 2 to build out the core request, whether it's for a single component or a full page.
4. **Present and Refine**:
- Output the complete, generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block).
- Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included, referencing the principles above.
- <important_note>Conclude by reminding the user that all AI-generated code will require careful human review, testing, and refinement to be considered production-ready.</important_note>

# Index Documentation Task
## Purpose
This task maintains the integrity and completeness of the `docs/index.md` file by scanning all documentation files and ensuring they are properly indexed with descriptions. It handles both root-level documents and documents within subfolders, organizing them hierarchically.
## Task Instructions
You are now operating as a Documentation Indexer. Your goal is to ensure all documentation files are properly cataloged in the central index with proper organization for subfolders.
### Required Steps
1. First, locate and scan:
- The `docs/` directory and all subdirectories
- The existing `docs/index.md` file (create if absent)
- All markdown (`.md`) and text (`.txt`) files in the documentation structure
- Note the folder structure for hierarchical organization
2. For the existing `docs/index.md`:
- Parse current entries
- Note existing file references and descriptions
- Identify any broken links or missing files
- Keep track of already-indexed content
- Preserve existing folder sections
3. For each documentation file found:
- Extract the title (from first heading or filename)
- Generate a brief description by analyzing the content
- Create a relative markdown link to the file
- Check if it's already in the index
- Note which folder it belongs to (if in a subfolder)
- If missing or outdated, prepare an update
4. For any missing or non-existent files found in index:
- Present a list of all entries that reference non-existent files
- For each entry:
- Show the full entry details (title, path, description)
- Ask for explicit confirmation before removal
- Provide option to update the path if file was moved
- Log the decision (remove/update/keep) for final report
5. Update `docs/index.md`:
- Maintain existing structure and organization
- Create level 2 sections (`##`) for each subfolder
- List root-level documents first
- Add missing entries with descriptions
- Update outdated entries
- Remove only entries that were confirmed for removal
- Ensure consistent formatting throughout
### Index Structure Format
The index should be organized as follows:
`````markdown
# Documentation Index
## Root Documents
### [Document Title](./document.md)
Brief description of the document's purpose and contents.
### [Another Document](./another.md)
Description here.
## Folder Name
Documents within the `folder-name/` directory:
### [Document in Folder](./folder-name/document.md)
Description of this document.
### [Another in Folder](./folder-name/another.md)
Description here.
## Another Folder
Documents within the `another-folder/` directory:
### [Nested Document](./another-folder/document.md)
Description of nested document.
````text
### Index Entry Format
Each entry should follow this format:
```markdown
### [Document Title](relative/path/to/file.md)
Brief description of the document's purpose and contents.
````
`````
````
### Rules of Operation
1. NEVER modify the content of indexed files
2. Preserve existing descriptions in index.md when they are adequate
3. Maintain any existing categorization or grouping in the index
4. Use relative paths for all links (starting with `./`)
5. Ensure descriptions are concise but informative
6. NEVER remove entries without explicit confirmation
7. Report any broken links or inconsistencies found
8. Allow path updates for moved files before considering removal
9. Create folder sections using level 2 headings (`##`)
10. Sort folders alphabetically, with root documents listed first
11. Within each section, sort documents alphabetically by title
### Process Output
The task will provide:
1. A summary of changes made to index.md
2. List of newly indexed files (organized by folder)
3. List of updated entries
4. List of entries presented for removal and their status:
- Confirmed removals
- Updated paths
- Kept despite missing file
5. Any new folders discovered
6. Any other issues or inconsistencies found
### Handling Missing Files
For each file referenced in the index but not found in the filesystem:
1. Present the entry:
```markdown
Missing file detected:
Title: [Document Title]
Path: relative/path/to/file.md
Description: Existing description
Section: [Root Documents | Folder Name]
Options:
1. Remove this entry
2. Update the file path
3. Keep entry (mark as temporarily unavailable)
Please choose an option (1/2/3):
```
2. Wait for user confirmation before taking any action
3. Log the decision for the final report
### Special Cases
1. **Sharded Documents**: If a folder contains an `index.md` file, treat it as a sharded document:
- Use the folder's `index.md` title as the section title
- List the folder's documents as subsections
- Note in the description that this is a multi-part document
2. **README files**: Convert `README.md` to more descriptive titles based on content
3. **Nested Subfolders**: For deeply nested folders, maintain the hierarchy but limit to 2 levels in the main index. Deeper structures should have their own index files.
## Required Input
Please provide:
1. Location of the `docs/` directory (default: `./docs`)
2. Confirmation of write access to `docs/index.md`
3. Any specific categorization preferences
4. Any files or directories to exclude from indexing (e.g., `.git`, `node_modules`)
5. Whether to include hidden files/folders (starting with `.`)
Would you like to proceed with documentation indexing? Please provide the required input above.

# Document Sharding Task
## Purpose
- Split a large document into multiple smaller documents based on level 2 sections
- Create a folder structure to organize the sharded documents
- Maintain all content integrity including code blocks, diagrams, and markdown formatting
## Recommended Method: @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser
[[LLM: First, suggest the user install and use the @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser tool if the md-tree command is unavailable so we can have the best performance and reliable document sharding. Let the user know this will save cost of having the LLM to the expensive sharding operation. Give instructions for MPV NPX and PNPM global installs.]]
### Installation and Usage
1. **Install globally**:
```bash
npm install -g @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser
```
2. **Use the explode command**:
```bash
# For PRD
md-tree explode docs/prd.md docs/prd
# For Architecture
md-tree explode docs/architecture.md docs/architecture
# For any document
md-tree explode [source-document] [destination-folder]
```
3. **What it does**:
- Automatically splits the document by level 2 sections
- Creates properly named files
- Adjusts heading levels appropriately
- Handles all edge cases with code blocks and special markdown
If the user has @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser installed, use it and skip the manual process below.
---
## Manual Method (if @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser is not available)
[[LLM: Only proceed with the manual instructions below if the user cannot or does not want to use @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser.]]
### Task Instructions
### 1. Identify Document and Target Location
- Determine which document to shard (user-provided path)
- Create a new folder under `docs/` with the same name as the document (without extension)
- Example: `docs/prd.md` → create folder `docs/prd/`
### 2. Parse and Extract Sections
[[LLM: When sharding the document:
1. Read the entire document content
2. Identify all level 2 sections (## headings)
3. For each level 2 section:
- Extract the section heading and ALL content until the next level 2 section
- Include all subsections, code blocks, diagrams, lists, tables, etc.
- Be extremely careful with:
- Fenced code blocks (```) - ensure you capture the full block including closing backticks
- Mermaid diagrams - preserve the complete diagram syntax
- Nested markdown elements
- Multi-line content that might contain ## inside code blocks
CRITICAL: Use proper parsing that understands markdown context. A ## inside a code block is NOT a section header.]]
### 3. Create Individual Files
For each extracted section:
1. **Generate filename**: Convert the section heading to lowercase-dash-case
- Remove special characters
- Replace spaces with dashes
- Example: "## Tech Stack" → `tech-stack.md`
2. **Adjust heading levels**:
- The level 2 heading becomes level 1 (# instead of ##)
- All subsection levels decrease by 1:
```txt
- ### → ##
- #### → ###
- ##### → ####
- etc.
```
3. **Write content**: Save the adjusted content to the new file
### 4. Create Index File
Create an `index.md` file in the sharded folder that:
1. Contains the original level 1 heading and any content before the first level 2 section
2. Lists all the sharded files with links:
```markdown
# Original Document Title
[Original introduction content if any]
## Sections
- [Section Name 1](./section-name-1.md)
- [Section Name 2](./section-name-2.md)
- [Section Name 3](./section-name-3.md)
...
```text
### 5. Preserve Special Content
[[LLM: Pay special attention to preserving:
1. **Code blocks**: Must capture complete blocks including:
```language
content
```
2. **Mermaid diagrams**: Preserve complete syntax:
```mermaid
graph TD
...
```
3. **Tables**: Maintain proper markdown table formatting
4. **Lists**: Preserve indentation and nesting
5. **Inline code**: Preserve backticks
6. **Links and references**: Keep all markdown links intact
7. **Template markup**: If documents contain {{placeholders}} or [[LLM instructions]], preserve exactly]]
### 6. Validation
After sharding:
1. Verify all sections were extracted
2. Check that no content was lost
3. Ensure heading levels were properly adjusted
4. Confirm all files were created successfully
### 7. Report Results
Provide a summary:
```text
Document sharded successfully:
- Source: [original document path]
- Destination: docs/[folder-name]/
- Files created: [count]
- Sections:
- section-name-1.md: "Section Title 1"
- section-name-2.md: "Section Title 2"
...
```
## Important Notes
- Never modify the actual content, only adjust heading levels
- Preserve ALL formatting, including whitespace where significant
- Handle edge cases like sections with code blocks containing ## symbols
- Ensure the sharding is reversible (could reconstruct the original from shards)

# {{Project Name}} Architecture Document
[[LLM: If available, review any provided relevant documents to gather all relevant context before beginning. If at a minimum you cannot local `docs/prd.md` ask the user what docs will provide the basis for the architecture.]]
## Introduction
[[LLM: This section establishes the document's purpose and scope. Keep the content below but ensure project name is properly substituted.
After presenting this section, apply `tasks#advanced-elicitation` protocol]]
This document outlines the overall project architecture for {{Project Name}}, including backend systems, shared services, and non-UI specific concerns. Its primary goal is to serve as the guiding architectural blueprint for AI-driven development, ensuring consistency and adherence to chosen patterns and technologies.
**Relationship to Frontend Architecture:**
If the project includes a significant user interface, a separate Frontend Architecture Document will detail the frontend-specific design and MUST be used in conjunction with this document. Core technology stack choices documented herein (see "Tech Stack") are definitive for the entire project, including any frontend components.
### Starter Template or Existing Project
[[LLM: Before proceeding further with architecture design, check if the project is based on a starter template or existing codebase:
1. Review the PRD and brainstorming brief for any mentions of:
- Starter templates (e.g., Create React App, Next.js, Vue CLI, Angular CLI, etc.)
- Existing projects or codebases being used as a foundation
- Boilerplate projects or scaffolding tools
- Previous projects to be cloned or adapted
2. If a starter template or existing project is mentioned:
- Ask the user to provide access via one of these methods:
- Link to the starter template documentation
- Upload/attach the project files (for small projects)
- Share a link to the project repository (GitHub, GitLab, etc.)
- Analyze the starter/existing project to understand:
- Pre-configured technology stack and versions
- Project structure and organization patterns
- Built-in scripts and tooling
- Existing architectural patterns and conventions
- Any limitations or constraints imposed by the starter
- Use this analysis to inform and align your architecture decisions
3. If no starter template is mentioned but this is a greenfield project:
- Suggest appropriate starter templates based on the tech stack preferences
- Explain the benefits (faster setup, best practices, community support)
- Let the user decide whether to use one
4. If the user confirms no starter template will be used:
- Proceed with architecture design from scratch
- Note that manual setup will be required for all tooling and configuration
Document the decision here before proceeding with the architecture design. In none, just say N/A
After presenting this starter template section, apply `tasks#advanced-elicitation` protocol]]
### Change Log
[[LLM: Track document versions and changes]]
| Date | Version | Description | Author |
| :--- | :------ | :---------- | :----- |
## High Level Architecture
[[LLM: This section contains multiple subsections that establish the foundation of the architecture. Present all subsections together (Introduction, Technical Summary, High Level Overview, Project Diagram, and Architectural Patterns), then apply `tasks#advanced-elicitation` protocol to the complete High Level Architecture section. The user can choose to refine the entire section or specific subsections.]]
### Technical Summary
[[LLM: Provide a brief paragraph (3-5 sentences) overview of:
- The system's overall architecture style
- Key components and their relationships
- Primary technology choices
- Core architectural patterns being used
- Reference back to the PRD goals and how this architecture supports them]]
### High Level Overview
[[LLM: Based on the PRD's Technical Assumptions section, describe:
1. The main architectural style (e.g., Monolith, Microservices, Serverless, Event-Driven)
2. Repository structure decision from PRD (Monorepo/Polyrepo)
3. Service architecture decision from PRD
4. Primary user interaction flow or data flow at a conceptual level
5. Key architectural decisions and their rationale
After presenting this section, apply `tasks#advanced-elicitation` protocol]]
### High Level Project Diagram
[[LLM: Create a Mermaid diagram that visualizes the high-level architecture. Consider:
- System boundaries
- Major components/services
- Data flow directions
- External integrations
- User entry points
Use appropriate Mermaid diagram type (graph TD, C4, sequence) based on what best represents the architecture
After presenting the diagram, apply `tasks#advanced-elicitation` protocol]]
### Architectural and Design Patterns
[[LLM: List the key high-level patterns that will guide the architecture. For each pattern:
1. Present 2-3 viable options if multiple exist
2. Provide your recommendation with clear rationale
3. Get user confirmation before finalizing
4. These patterns should align with the PRD's technical assumptions and project goals
Common patterns to consider:
- Architectural style patterns (Serverless, Event-Driven, Microservices, CQRS, Hexagonal)
- Code organization patterns (Dependency Injection, Repository, Module, Factory)
- Data patterns (Event Sourcing, Saga, Database per Service)
- Communication patterns (REST, GraphQL, Message Queue, Pub/Sub)]]
<<REPEAT: pattern>>
- **{{pattern_name}}:** {{pattern_description}} - _Rationale:_ {{rationale}}
<</REPEAT>>
@{example: patterns}
- **Serverless Architecture:** Using AWS Lambda for compute - _Rationale:_ Aligns with PRD requirement for cost optimization and automatic scaling
- **Repository Pattern:** Abstract data access logic - _Rationale:_ Enables testing and future database migration flexibility
- **Event-Driven Communication:** Using SNS/SQS for service decoupling - _Rationale:_ Supports async processing and system resilience
@{/example}
[[LLM: After presenting the patterns, apply `tasks#advanced-elicitation` protocol]]
## Tech Stack
[[LLM: This is the DEFINITIVE technology selection section. Work with the user to make specific choices:
1. Review PRD technical assumptions and any preferences from `data#technical-preferences` or an attached `technical-preferences`
2. For each category, present 2-3 viable options with pros/cons
3. Make a clear recommendation based on project needs
4. Get explicit user approval for each selection
5. Document exact versions (avoid "latest" - pin specific versions)
6. This table is the single source of truth - all other docs must reference these choices
Key decisions to finalize - before displaying the table, ensure you are aware of or ask the user about - let the user know if they are not sure on any that you can also provide suggestions with rationale:
- Starter templates (if any)
- Languages and runtimes with exact versions
- Frameworks and libraries / packages
- Cloud provider and key services choices
- Database and storage solutions - if unclear suggest sql or nosql or other types depending on the project and depending on cloud provider offer a suggestion
- Development tools
Upon render of the table, ensure the user is aware of the importance of this sections choices, should also look for gaps or disagreements with anything, ask for any clarifications if something is unclear why its in the list, and also right away apply `tasks#advanced-elicitation` display - this statement and the options should be rendered and then prompt right all before allowing user input.]]

# {{Project Name}} Brownfield Enhancement PRD
[[LLM: IMPORTANT - SCOPE ASSESSMENT REQUIRED:
This PRD is for SIGNIFICANT enhancements to existing projects that require comprehensive planning and multiple stories. Before proceeding:
1. **Assess Enhancement Complexity**: If this is a simple feature addition or bug fix that could be completed in 1-2 focused development sessions, STOP and recommend: "For simpler changes, consider using the brownfield-create-epic or brownfield-create-story task with the Product Owner instead. This full PRD process is designed for substantial enhancements that require architectural planning and multiple coordinated stories."
2. **Project Context**: Determine if we're working in an IDE with the project already loaded or if the user needs to provide project information. If project files are available, analyze existing documentation in the docs folder. If insufficient documentation exists, recommend running the document-project task first.
3. **Deep Assessment Requirement**: You MUST thoroughly analyze the existing project structure, patterns, and constraints before making ANY suggestions. Every recommendation must be grounded in actual project analysis, not assumptions.]]
## Intro Project Analysis and Context
[[LLM: Gather comprehensive information about the existing project. This section must be completed before proceeding with requirements.
CRITICAL: Throughout this analysis, explicitly confirm your understanding with the user. For every assumption you make about the existing project, ask: "Based on my analysis, I understand that [assumption]. Is this correct?"
Do not proceed with any recommendations until the user has validated your understanding of the existing system.]]

# {{Project Name}} Frontend Architecture Document
[[LLM: Review provided documents including PRD, UX-UI Specification, and main Architecture Document. Focus on extracting technical implementation details needed for AI frontend tools and developer agents. Ask the user for any of these documents if you are unable to locate and were not provided.]]
## Template and Framework Selection
[[LLM: Before proceeding with frontend architecture design, check if the project is using a frontend starter template or existing codebase:
1. Review the PRD, main architecture document, and brainstorming brief for mentions of:
- Frontend starter templates (e.g., Create React App, Next.js, Vite, Vue CLI, Angular CLI, etc.)
- UI kit or component library starters
- Existing frontend projects being used as a foundation
- Admin dashboard templates or other specialized starters
- Design system implementations
2. If a frontend starter template or existing project is mentioned:
- Ask the user to provide access via one of these methods:
- Link to the starter template documentation
- Upload/attach the project files (for small projects)
- Share a link to the project repository
- Analyze the starter/existing project to understand:
- Pre-installed dependencies and versions
- Folder structure and file organization
- Built-in components and utilities
- Styling approach (CSS modules, styled-components, Tailwind, etc.)
- State management setup (if any)
- Routing configuration
- Testing setup and patterns
- Build and development scripts
- Use this analysis to ensure your frontend architecture aligns with the starter's patterns
3. If no frontend starter is mentioned but this is a new UI, ensure we know what the ui language and framework is:
- Based on the framework choice, suggest appropriate starters:
- React: Create React App, Next.js, Vite + React
- Vue: Vue CLI, Nuxt.js, Vite + Vue
- Angular: Angular CLI
- Or suggest popular UI templates if applicable
- Explain benefits specific to frontend development
4. If the user confirms no starter template will be used:
- Note that all tooling, bundling, and configuration will need manual setup
- Proceed with frontend architecture from scratch
Document the starter template decision and any constraints it imposes before proceeding.]]
