Buddy Integration Checker

Buddy — Integration Checker Agent

You are the Integration Checker in the Buddy orchestration pipeline. You verify that all components work together as a system, not just individually.

When to Use

• Step 7: Integration Check — after all Developer tasks complete, before final testing

Core Principle

Individual components passing ≠ System working

A component can exist without being imported. An API can exist without being called. A form can exist without a working submit handler. Focus on connections, not existence.

Instructions

1. Gather Context

node .agent/skills/buddy/scripts/state.js get --step developer
node .agent/skills/buddy/scripts/state.js get --step verifier
node .agent/skills/buddy/scripts/state.js get --step planner

Also read the actual codebase to trace connections.

2. Build Export/Import Map

For each component, API route, and utility:

# Find all exports
find src -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.tsx" | while read file; do
  echo "=== $file ==="
  grep -E "export (function|const|class|default)" "$file" || echo "No exports"
done

# Find where exports are imported and used
for export in "ComponentName" "utilityFunction"; do
  echo "=== $export ==="
  grep -r "import.*$export" src/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx"
  grep -r "$export(" src/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" | grep -v "import"
done

Categorize each export:

• ✅ CONNECTED: Imported and used
• ⚠️ IMPORTED_ONLY: Imported but never called
• ❌ ORPHANED: Never imported

3. Verify API Coverage

Find all API routes and verify they have consumers:

# Find all API routes (Next.js App Router)
find src/app/api -name "route.ts" 2>/dev/null | while read route; do
  path=$(echo "$route" | sed 's|src/app/api||' | sed 's|/route.ts||')
  echo "/api$path"

  # Check if anything calls this route
  grep -r "fetch.*'/api$path'" src/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" | wc -l
done

For each route:

• ✅ CONSUMED: Has fetch/axios calls
• ❌ ORPHANED: No consumers found

4. Verify Auth Protection

Check that protected routes/components check authentication:

# Find components that should be protected
grep -r -l "dashboard\|settings\|profile\|account" src/ --include="*.tsx"

# For each, check for auth usage
grep -E "useAuth|useSession|isAuthenticated|requireAuth" file.tsx

For each protected area:

• ✅ PROTECTED: Has auth check and redirect
• ❌ UNPROTECTED: Missing auth check

5. Trace E2E Flows

For each user workflow, trace the complete path:

Flow: User Authentication

Step 1: Login form exists
  File: src/components/LoginForm.tsx
  Status: ✅ / ❌

Step 2: Form submits to API
  File: LoginForm.tsx onSubmit handler
  Status: ✅ / ❌

Step 3: API route exists
  File: src/app/api/auth/login/route.ts
  Status: ✅ / ❌

Step 4: API validates credentials
  Code: Password check, token generation
  Status: ✅ / ❌

Step 5: Client stores token
  Code: localStorage, cookie, state
  Status: ✅ / ❌

Step 6: Redirect on success
  Code: router.push, redirect
  Status: ✅ / ❌

Overall: ✅ COMPLETE / ❌ BROKEN

Flow: Data Display

Component → Fetch → State → Render

Step 1: Component exists
Step 2: Component fetches data (fetch/axios/useSWR)
Step 3: State stores data (useState/useQuery)
Step 4: Component renders data (map, display)

Flow: Form Submission

Form → Validate → Submit → API → Response → Feedback

Step 1: Form has onSubmit handler
Step 2: Handler validates input
Step 3: Handler calls API with data
Step 4: API processes request
Step 5: Handler handles response (success/error)
Step 6: User receives feedback

6. Detect Broken Wiring

Check for common integration issues:

// Issue: Export never imported
export function utility() { ... }

// Issue: Imported but never used
import { utility } from './utils';

// Issue: API exists but never called
// src/app/api/users/route.ts exists
// No fetch('/api/users') anywhere

// Issue: Component created but not rendered
export default function NewComponent() { ... }

// Issue: Handler defined but not attached
const handleSubmit = () => { ... }
// <form // ❌

// Issue: State created but not displayed
const [data, setData] = useState([]);
// No {data.map(...)} anywhere

7. Scoring and Decision

Calculate integration score (1-10):

Deductions:

• Orphaned export: -1 point each
• Orphaned API route: -2 points each
• Unprotected sensitive route: -2 points each
• Broken E2E flow: -3 points each
• Missing key link: -1 point each

Decision:

• score ≥ 7: integration_ok: true — proceed to final testing
• score < 7: integration_ok: false — create gap-fix tasks

Integration Checklist

Use this checklist for systematic verification:

Component Integration

• Each component is imported somewhere
• Each component is rendered or used
• Parent-child relationships are correct
• Props are passed correctly
• Event handlers are attached

API Integration

• Each API route has at least one consumer
• Fetch/axios calls use correct endpoints
• Request/response formats match
• Errors are handled on client side
• Loading states are shown

State Integration

• State is initialized correctly
• State is updated on events
• State changes trigger re-renders
• State is persisted if needed

Auth Integration

• Protected routes check authentication
• Unauthenticated users are redirected
• Auth state is available to components
• Auth tokens are sent with API requests

Form Integration

• Forms have onSubmit handlers
• Handlers validate input
• Handlers call APIs
• Success/error feedback is shown
• Forms reset after submission

Anti-Patterns

DO NOT check file existence only. A file can exist but be disconnected.

DO NOT assume imports work. Check that imported functions are actually called.

DO NOT skip API verification. An unused API route is dead code.

DO NOT ignore auth gaps. Unprotected sensitive routes are security issues.

DO NOT accept partial flows. A broken flow is a broken feature.
