Mockup Extraction

Purpose: Bridge the gap between visual mockups and production code by:

1. Identifying repeated UI patterns across mockup screens
2. Mapping mockup CSS classes to Tailwind utilities
3. Documenting component variants and states
4. Creating extraction tasks for systematic implementation

When to invoke: At the start of /implement phase when mockups exist and are approved (UI-first features).

# Prototype Patterns: {FEATURE_NAME}

## Component Inventory

gap: var(--space-*) → gap-*

For each extracted component, document:

### Component: {NAME}

**Source Screens**: {list of mockup files}
**Occurrences**: {count}
**Priority**: {Must extract | Consider | Low}

**HTML Structure**:
```html
<button class="btn btn-primary">
  <span class="btn-icon">{icon}</span>
  <span class="btn-label">{label}</span>
</button>

CSS Classes:

• .btn - Base button styles
• .btn-primary - Primary variant
• .btn-icon - Icon container
• .btn-label - Label text

Tailwind Equivalent:

<button className="inline-flex items-center gap-2 px-4 py-2 bg-primary text-white rounded-md hover:bg-primary-hover focus:ring-2 focus:ring-primary/30 disabled:opacity-50">
  {icon && <span>{icon}</span>}
  <span>{label}</span>
</button>

States to Implement:

• Default
• Hover (bg-primary-hover)
• Focus (ring-2 ring-primary/30)
• Active (scale-95)
• Disabled (opacity-50, cursor-not-allowed)

  loading?: boolean;
  disabled?: boolean;
  children: React.ReactNode;
}

## tailwind-variants (tv) Output Format

When `tailwind-variants` is detected in the project (or recommended for new projects), generate tv() component definitions:

### Single-Part Component (Button)

```typescript
// components/ui/button.ts
import { tv, type VariantProps } from 'tailwind-variants';

export const button = tv({
  base: 'inline-flex items-center justify-center gap-2 rounded-md font-medium transition-all duration-100 focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-offset-2',
  variants: {
    variant: {
      primary: 'bg-primary text-white hover:bg-primary-hover focus:ring-primary/30',
      secondary: 'bg-secondary text-white hover:bg-secondary-hover focus:ring-secondary/30',
      outline: 'border border-primary text-primary bg-transparent hover:bg-primary/10',
      ghost: 'text-primary bg-transparent hover:bg-primary/10',
      danger: 'bg-error text-white hover:bg-error-hover focus:ring-error/30'
    },
    size: {
      sm: 'px-3 py-1.5 text-sm',
      md: 'px-4 py-2 text-base',
      lg: 'px-6 py-3 text-lg'
    },
    disabled: {
      true: 'opacity-50 cursor-not-allowed pointer-events-none'
    },
    loading: {
      true: 'pointer-events-none'
    }
  },
  compoundVariants: [
    {
      loading: true,
      class: 'relative text-transparent'
    }
  ],
  defaultVariants: {
    variant: 'primary',
    size: 'md'
  }
});

export type ButtonVariants = VariantProps<typeof button>;

Multi-Part Component with Slots (Card)

// components/ui/card.ts
import { tv, type VariantProps } from 'tailwind-variants';

export const card = tv({
  slots: {
    base: 'rounded-lg bg-surface overflow-hidden',
    header: 'px-4 py-3 border-b border-neutral-200',
    body: 'px-4 py-4',
    footer: 'px-4 py-3 border-t border-neutral-200 bg-neutral-50',
    title: 'text-lg font-semibold text-neutral-900',
    description: 'text-sm text-neutral-500'
  },
  variants: {
    variant: {
      default: { base: 'border border-neutral-200' },
      elevated: { base: 'shadow-md' },
      bordered: { base: 'border-2 border-neutral-300' }
    },
    padding: {
      sm: { body: 'px-3 py-2' },
      md: { body: 'px-4 py-4' },
      lg: { body: 'px-6 py-6' }
    }
  },
  defaultVariants: {
    variant: 'default',
    padding: 'md'
  }
});

export type CardVariants = VariantProps<typeof card>;

Component Usage

// Usage in React component
import { button, type ButtonVariants } from '@/components/ui/button';
import { card } from '@/components/ui/card';

// Button
<button className={button({ variant: 'primary', size: 'lg' })}>
  Click me
</button>

// Card with slots
const { base, header, body, title } = card({ variant: 'elevated' });
<div className={base()}>
  <div className={header()}>
    <h3 className={title()}>Card Title</h3>
  </div>
  <div className={body()}>Content here</div>
</div>

Form Input with Compound Variants

// components/ui/input.ts
import { tv } from 'tailwind-variants';

export const input = tv({
  base: 'w-full rounded-md border bg-surface px-3 py-2 text-base transition-colors focus:outline-none focus:ring-2',
  variants: {
    variant: {
      default: 'border-neutral-300 focus:border-primary focus:ring-primary/30',
      error: 'border-error focus:border-error focus:ring-error/30',
      success: 'border-success focus:border-success focus:ring-success/30'
    },
    size: {
      sm: 'px-2 py-1 text-sm',
      md: 'px-3 py-2 text-base',
      lg: 'px-4 py-3 text-lg'
    },
    disabled: {
      true: 'bg-neutral-100 cursor-not-allowed opacity-60'
    }
  },
  compoundVariants: [
    {
      variant: 'error',
      disabled: false,
      class: 'text-error'
    }
  ],
  defaultVariants: {
    variant: 'default',
    size: 'md'
  }
});

When extracting components for existing codebases, perform gap analysis first.

Detection Phase

Check for existing component libraries:

# Detect from package.json
COMPONENT_LIB=$(jq -r '
  if .dependencies["@radix-ui/react-dialog"] then "radix"
  elif .dependencies["@chakra-ui/react"] then "chakra"
  elif .dependencies["@mui/material"] then "mui"
  elif .dependencies["tailwind-variants"] then "tv-ready"
  else "custom"
  end
' package.json 2>/dev/null || echo "none")

# Detect shadcn/ui (check for components/ui directory)
if [ -d "src/components/ui" ] || [ -d "components/ui" ]; then
  COMPONENT_LIB="shadcn"
fi

Gap Analysis Output

Generate gap analysis in prototype-patterns.md:

## Gap Analysis: Mockup vs Existing Components

### Brownfield Context
- **Component Library**: shadcn/ui
- **Design Tokens**: tailwind.config.js
- **Variant API**: tailwind-variants installed

### Component Comparison

| Mockup Component | Existing Match | Integration Mode | Gap Details |
|-----------------|----------------|------------------|-------------|
| Button (5 variants) | button.tsx (3 variants) | **Extend** | +ghost, +danger variants |
| Card (elevated) | card.tsx (flat only) | **Extend** | +elevated, +bordered variants |
| Avatar | ❌ None | **Create** | New component needed |
| Alert (4 types) | toast.tsx (2 types) | **Wrap** | Different API, wrap for compat |
| Modal | dialog.tsx | **Map** | Same function, different name |
| Badge | badge.tsx | **Use** | Exact match |

### Integration Modes

#### Extend (add variants to existing)
```typescript
// Existing: button.tsx has primary, secondary, outline
// Add: ghost, danger variants

// Option 1: Extend tv() definition
export const button = tv({
  extend: existingButton,  // Import existing
  variants: {
    variant: {
      ghost: 'text-primary bg-transparent hover:bg-primary/10',
      danger: 'bg-error text-white hover:bg-error-hover'
    }
  }
});

// Option 2: Merge variants
export const button = tv({
  ...existingButton.config,
  variants: {
    ...existingButton.config.variants,
    variant: {
      ...existingButton.config.variants.variant,
      ghost: '...',
      danger: '...'
    }
  }
});

Wrap (different API, create compatibility layer)

// Existing: toast.tsx uses different props
// Mockup: Alert with variant="info|success|warning|error"

import { toast } from '@/components/ui/toast';

export const alert = tv({
  base: 'p-4 rounded-lg border',
  variants: {
    variant: {
      info: 'bg-info/10 border-info text-info',
      success: 'bg-success/10 border-success text-success',
      warning: 'bg-warning/10 border-warning text-warning',
      error: 'bg-error/10 border-error text-error'
    }
  }
});

// Wrapper component uses alert tv() but can fall back to toast

Create (no existing component)

// No existing Avatar component - create new
export const avatar = tv({
  base: 'relative inline-flex shrink-0 overflow-hidden rounded-full',
  variants: {
    size: {
      sm: 'h-8 w-8',
      md: 'h-10 w-10',
      lg: 'h-12 w-12',
      xl: 'h-16 w-16'
    }
  },
  defaultVariants: { size: 'md' }
});

Map (same function, document alias)

// Existing: dialog.tsx
// Mockup: calls it "Modal"
// Action: Create alias export

export { dialog as modal } from './dialog';
export type { DialogProps as ModalProps } from './dialog';

### Extraction Task Priority (Brownfield)

| Priority | Integration Mode | Action |
|----------|-----------------|--------|
| P0 | Create | New components (no existing match) |
| P1 | Extend | Add missing variants to existing |
| P2 | Wrap | Create compatibility layer |
| P3 | Map | Document alias only |

### Skip List

Components to skip extraction (exact match exists):

```yaml
skip_extraction:
  - badge        # Exact match in components/ui/badge.tsx
  - separator    # Exact match in components/ui/separator.tsx
  - skeleton     # Exact match in components/ui/skeleton.tsx

After extraction, verify:
