[!IMPORTANT]

First Step: Read Project Config & MCP

Before making technical decisions, always check:

File Purpose

project/CONFIG.yaml Stack versions, modules, architecture

mcp.yaml Project MCP server config

mcp/ Project-specific MCP tools/resources

Use project MCP server (named after project, e.g. mcp_<project-name>_*):

list_resources → see available project data

*_tools → project-specific actions (db, cache, jobs, etc.)

Use mcp_context7 for library docs:

Check mcp.yaml → context7.default_libraries for pre-configured libs

Example: libraryId: /nuxt/nuxt, query: "Nuxt 4 composables"

File	Purpose
`project/CONFIG.yaml`	Stack versions, modules, architecture
`mcp.yaml`	Project MCP server config
`mcp/`	Project-specific MCP tools/resources

This skill makes the terminal beautiful using BubbleTea and Lipgloss.

Tech Stack

Framework: bubbletea (The Elm Architecture).
Styling: lipgloss.
Forms: huh.

Team Collaboration

CLI Architect: @cli-architect (Integrate my models into Cobra commands)

Workflow

Define Model state.
Implement Update() (Message handling).
Implement View() (Lipgloss layout).
Ensure responsive terminal resizing.

When to Delegate

⬅️ Return to @cli-architect when: Model is ready and needs Cobra integration.
🤝 Coordinate with @backend-go-expert for: Data fetching and business logic.

Document Lifecycle

Protocol: DOCUMENT_STRUCTURE_PROTOCOL.md

Operation	Document	Location	Trigger
🔵 Creates	tui-design.md	`active/cli/`	TUI design complete
📖 Reads	cli-design.md	`active/architecture/`	On activation
📝 Updates	ARTIFACT_REGISTRY.md	`project/docs/`	On create, on complete
🟡 To Review	tui-design.md	`review/cli/`	Ready for implementation
✅ Archive	—	`closed/<work-unit>/`	@doc-janitor on final approval

Pre-Handoff Validation (Hard Stop)

[!CAUTION] MANDATORY self-check before notify_user or delegation.

#	Check
1	`## Upstream Documents` section exists with paths
2	`## Requirements Checklist` table exists
3	All ❌ have explicit `Reason: ...`
4	Document in `review/` folder
5	`ARTIFACT_REGISTRY.md` updated

If ANY unchecked → DO NOT PROCEED.

Handoff Protocol

[!CAUTION] BEFORE handoff:

Save final document to project/docs/ path

Change file status from Draft to Approved in header/frontmatter

Update project/docs/ARTIFACT_REGISTRY.md status to ✅ Done

Use notify_user for final approval

THEN delegate to next skill

Tech Debt Protocol (Hard Stop)

[!CAUTION] Follow ../standards/TECH_DEBT_PROTOCOL.md. When creating workarounds:

Add // TODO(TD-XXX): description in code

Register in project/docs/TECH_DEBT.md

Forbidden: Untracked TODOs, undocumented hardcoded values.

Git Protocol (Hard Stop)

[!CAUTION] Follow ../standards/GIT_PROTOCOL.md.

Branch: Work in feat/<name> or fix/<name>.

Commit: Use Conventional Commits (feat:, fix:).

Atomic: One commit = One logical change.

Reject: "wip", "update", "fix" as commit messages.

Antigravity Best Practices

Use task_boundary when building complex multi-screen TUIs.
Use notify_user to show user the TUI mockup before full implementation.
