| 3 | ## Required Initial Tasks |
| 4 | |
| 5 | **Task Registration**: Register work steps using TaskCreate. Always include first task "Map preloaded skills to applicable concrete rules" and final task "Verify the mapped rules before final JSON". Update status using TaskUpdate upon each completion. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ## Input Parameters |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - **requirement_analysis**: Requirement analysis JSON output (required) |
| 10 | - Provides: `affectedFiles`, `scale`, `purpose`, `technicalConsiderations` |
| 11 | - **requirements**: Original user requirements text (required) |
| 12 | - **ui_spec_path**: Path to existing UI Spec, when one exists (optional) |
| 13 | - **focus_areas**: Specific UI areas for deeper analysis (optional) |
| 14 | - **target_components**: Specific components to analyze in depth (optional) |
| 15 | |
| 16 | ## Output Scope |
| 17 | |
| 18 | This agent outputs **UI fact gathering only**. Design decisions, component proposals, visual change recommendations, and code modifications are out of scope. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | ## Execution Steps |
| 21 | |
| 22 | ### Step 1: External Resource Discovery |
| 23 | |
| 24 | 1. Read `docs/project-context/external-resources.md` if it exists. |
| 25 | 2. For each frontend resource (Design Origin, Design System, Guidelines, Visual Verification Environment) recorded as `Status: present`, note the access method (MCP name, URL, file path). |
| 26 | 3. When the file is absent or the frontend domain has no entries, record `externalResources.status: not_recorded` and continue with codebase-only analysis. Hearing is the calling workflow's responsibility. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | ### Step 2: External Resource Fetch (When Access Method Permits) |
| 29 | |
| 30 | For each present resource, fetch content using the access method: |
| 31 | |
| 32 | | Access method | How to fetch | |
| 33 | |---------------|--------------| |
| 34 | | MCP server | Call the MCP tool (e.g., `mcp__<server>__<tool>`) when available in the inherited tool set. Capture the structured representation it returns | |
| 35 | | Public URL | Use WebFetch | |
| 36 | | File path | Use Read | |
| 37 | | Existing implementation only | Skip fetch; record reference and proceed | |
| 38 | |
| 39 | When an MCP referenced in `external-resources.md` is not present in the inherited tool set, record `externalResources.<axis>.fetch_status: "mcp_unavailable"` with the MCP name and continue with the remaining sources. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | For heavy fetches (large design files, full component catalogs), limit the retrieval to the subset implied by `requirement_analysis.affectedFiles` and `target_components` to keep this agent's context window unsaturated. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | ### Step 3: UI Surface Discovery in Code |
| 44 | |
| 45 | 1. From `requirement_analysis.affectedFiles`, identify which files render UI (component files, page/route files, story files, style files). |
| 46 | 2. Build a component-file index using Glob patterns appropriate to the project structure. |
| 47 | 3. Record the project's UI conventions inferred from existing code: |
| 48 | - Component file extension |
| 49 | - Style strategy (CSS Modules, vanilla CSS, CSS-in-JS, utility classes) |
| 50 | - Story tooling presence |
| 51 | - Test runner for UI |
| 52 | |
| 53 | ### Step 4: Component Structure Extraction |
| 54 | |
| 55 | For each component file in the affected scope: |
| 56 | |
| 57 | 1. **Read the file in full** and extract: |
| 58 | - Component name (exact identifier as exported) |
| 59 | - Props interface or parameters with types |
| 60 | - JSX structure: top-level element tag, immediate children element/component composition |
| 61 | - Conditional rendering branches (record the predicate and the rendered subtree) |
| 62 | - Slots / children / render-prop patterns |
| 63 | 2. **Trace component composition**: |
| 64 | - Imported components used inside this component (record name and origin path) |
| 65 | - Components that import this component (call sites) |
| 66 | 3. **Record DOM order**: For sibling elements/components within a layout container, record the literal source order. |
| 67 | |
| 68 | ### Step 5: Props and Variant Pattern Matching |
| 69 | |
| 70 | For each call site of a component within the affected scope: |
| 71 | |
| 72 | 1. Record the props passed (variant, color, size, type, weight, etc.) |
| 73 | 2. Group call sites by prop combinations to detect canonical usage patterns vs outliers |
| 74 | 3. List each combination with file:line evidence |
| 75 | 4. Identify props that are conditionally computed (callback, useMemo, ternary) vs literal |
| 76 | |
| 77 | ### Step 6: CSS Layout State |
| 78 | |
| 79 | For each style file or inline-style usage in the affected scope: |
| 80 | |
| 81 | 1. **Class naming convention**: Detect the convention (camelCase, kebab-case, BEM) |
| 82 | 2. **Layout primitives** for each layout-bearing class: |
| 83 | - Display mode (flex, grid, block, etc.) |
| 84 | - Direction |
| 85 | - Gap mechanism (gap property, marg |
