Notes Sync Strategy

Notes Sync Strategy Workflow

This Workflow provides Claude Code with step-by-step guidance for implementing Notes workspace sync.

When to use this workflow

• When implementing Notes workspace file system sync
• When creating offline-first note editing
• When implementing note-specific conflict resolution (text merge, versioning)
• When integrating AI synthesis with notes (per-note, batch)
• When creating sync status indicators for Notes workspace

Workflow Steps

Step 1: Notes File System Strategy (2-3 hours)

Agent: file-sync-specialist Input: Notes workspace requirements Output: File system strategy document

Acceptance Criteria:

• Desktop: FSA API with per-note file storage
• Mobile: IndexedDB with sync-to-FSA on desktop
• Note file format defined (Markdown, metadata, attachments)
• Folder structure defined (notebooks, tags, search index)
• Permission handling (read/write per notebook)

Step 2: Sync Concurrency Handling (3-4 hours)

Agent: file-sync-specialist Input: File system strategy Output: Concurrent sync implementation

Acceptance Criteria:

• File locking per note (granular locking)
• Conflict resolution for text notes (git-style merge)
• Version history (undo/redo support)
• Conflict UI (side-by-side diff, user choice)
• Automatic save (debounce to avoid conflicts)

Step 3: AI Synthesis Integration (4-6 hours)

Agent: workspace-architect Input: Sync implementation Output: AI integration with notes

Acceptance Criteria:

• Per-note AI synthesis (summarize, expand, rewrite)
• Batch AI synthesis (process entire notebook)
• AI-powered search (semantic search across notes)
• AI tool permissions (read, write with user consent)
• Progress indicators for AI operations

Step 4: Sync Status UX/UI (2-3 hours)

Agent: component-splitter Input: AI integration Output: Sync status UI components

Acceptance Criteria:

• Sync status indicator (syncing, synced, conflict, offline)
• Conflict resolution UI (side-by-side diff, accept button)
• AI operation progress (progress bar, cancel button)
• Offline mode indicator (editing while offline)
• Error states (sync failed, retry button)

Step 5: Validation & Testing (2-3 hours)

Agent: test-writer Input: Complete Notes sync implementation Output: Test suite + validation report

Acceptance Criteria:

• Unit tests for sync logic (CRUD, conflict resolution)
• Integration tests (sync + AI integration)
• E2E tests (critical user journeys)
• Test coverage ≥80%
• Zero data loss scenarios validated

Example Usage

"Implement Notes sync strategy using the notes-sync-strategy workflow"

Validation Commands

# TypeScript check
pnpm tsc --noEmit --incremental

# Test suite
pnpm test

# Notes-specific tests
pnpm test notes-*

# Sync validation
pnpm test sync-notes-*

Success Criteria

• ✅ Notes file system sync working (read, write, sync)
• ✅ Conflict resolution implemented (text merge, user choice)
• ✅ AI integration working (per-note, batch, search)
• ✅ Sync status indicators visible
• ✅ Offline-first support (IndexedDB queue)
• ✅ Zero data loss scenarios
• ✅ Test coverage ≥80%
• ✅ E2E tests passing
