# UI Design Context Auto-Injection — Implementation Plan

> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.

**Goal:** When `guardrail run` (or `scan`, `ci`, `pr`) processes frontend files, auto-inject design schema context (tokens JSON + guide markdown) into the LLM review prompt.

**Architecture:** New loader module detects frontend files and reads config-specified design files, injects as `context.designSchema` into `ReviewInput`, adapters add a `{DESIGN_SCHEMA}` prompt slot.

**Tech Stack:** TypeScript ESM, Node 22+, `node:fs`, `node:path`, `node:test`

```

- [ ] **Step 3: Run tests — expect pass**

Run: `node scripts/test-runner.mjs`
Expected: 15 tests in ui-context.test.ts all pass

- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**

```bash
git add src/core/ui/design-context-loader.ts tests/ui-context.test.ts
git commit -m "feat(ui-context): design context loader — frontend detection + safe path loading"
```

### Task 2: Extend `ReviewInput.context` and config types

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/adapters/review-engine/types.ts`
- Modify: `src/core/config/types.ts`
- Modify: `src/core/config/schema.ts`

- [ ] **Step 1: Add `designSchema` to `ReviewInput.context` in `src/adapters/review-engine/types.ts`**

Change line 7 from:
```typescript
context?: { spec?: string; plan?: string; stack?: string; cwd?: string; gitSummary?: string };
```
To:
```typescript
context?: { spec?: string; plan?: string; stack?: string; cwd?: string; gitSummary?: string; designSchema?: string };
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Widen `componentLibrary` in `src/core/config/types.ts`**

Find the `brand?:` block. Change:
```typescript
componentLibrary?: string;
```
To:
```typescript
componentLibrary?: string | { tokens?: string; guide?: string };
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Update AJV schema in `src/core/config/schema.ts`**

Find `componentLibrary: { type: 'string' }` inside the brand properties. Replace with:
```typescript
componentLibrary: {
  oneOf: [
    { type: 'string' },
    {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        tokens: { type: 'string' },
        guide: { type: 'string' },
      },
      additionalProperties: false,
    },
  ],
},
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Typecheck**

Run: `npx tsc --noEmit`
Expected: exit 0

- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**

```bash
git add src/adapters/review-engine/types.ts src/core/config/types.ts src/core/config/schema.ts
git commit -m "feat(ui-context): extend ReviewInput.context with designSchema; widen componentLibrary type"
```

---

### Task 3: Inject design context in `review-phase.ts`

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/core/pipeline/review-phase.ts`

- [ ] **Step 1: Add import at the top**

After existing imports, add:
```typescript
import { hasFrontendFiles, loadDesignContext } from '../ui/design-context-loader.ts';
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Add `designSchema?: string` to `ReviewPhaseInput` interface**

```typescript
export interface ReviewPhaseInput {
  touchedFiles: string[];
  engine: ReviewEngine;
  config: GuardrailConfig;
  cwd?: string;
  gitSummary?: string;
  designSchema?: string;  // add this line
}
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Compute `designSchema` in `runReviewPhase` and pass to context**

In `runReviewPhase`, after the early-return check for empty `touchedFiles` (around line 94), add:
```typescript
// Load design context for UI changesets
let designSchema: string | undefined;
if (hasFrontendFiles(input.touchedFiles) && input.config.brand?.componentLibrary) {
  const loaded = loadDesignContext(
    input.config.brand.componentLibrary,
    input.cwd ?? process.cwd(),
  );
  if (loaded) designSchema = loaded;
}
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Pass `designSchema` into the chunk review context**

In `reviewChunkWithRetry`, the `context` object is built at line ~50:
```typescript
context: { stack: input.config.stack, cwd: input.cwd, gitSummary: input.gitSummary },
```

Change it to also pass `designSchema`:
```typescript
context: {
  stack: input.config.stack,
  cwd: input.cwd,
  gitSummary: input.gitSummary,
  designSchema: input.designSchema,
},
```

Since `designSchema` is now on `ReviewPhaseInput`, thread it from `runReviewPhase` into the internal call by passing `{ ...input, designSchema }` as the enriched input to the chunk loop. The cleanest way: after computing `designSchema`, create:
```typescript
const enrichedInput: ReviewPhaseInput = designSchema ? { ...input, designSchema } : input;
```
Then replace `input` with `enrichedInput` in the `buildReviewChunks` call and the chunk processing loop within `runReviewPhase`.

- [ ] **Step 5: Typecheck**

Run: `npx tsc --noEmit`
Expected: exit 0

- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**

```bash
git add src/core/pipeline/review-phase.ts
git commit -m "feat(ui-context): inject design context into review phase when frontend files detected"
```

---

### Task 4: Add `{DESIGN_SCHEMA}` slot to all four adapters

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/adapters/review-engine/claude.ts`
- Modify: `src/adapters/review-engine/gemini.ts`
- Modify: `src/adapters/review-engine/codex.ts`
- Modify: `src/adapters/review-engine/openai-compatible.ts`

Each adapter follows the same pattern. The `{DESIGN_SCHEMA}` slot renders as empty string when `designSchema` is absent.

- [ ] **Step 1: Update `claude.ts`**

In `SYSTEM_PROMPT_TEMPLATE`, change:
```
{STACK}{GIT_CONTEXT}
```
To:
```
{STACK}{GIT_CONTEXT}{DESIGN_SCHEMA}
```

In the `review()` method, after the `gitCtx` line (line ~59), add:
```typescript
const designBlock = input.context?.designSchema ? `\n\n${input.context.designSchema}` : '';
```

Then update the `.replace()` chain:
```typescript
const systemPrompt = SYSTEM_PROMPT_TEMPLATE
  .replace('{STACK}', stack)
  .replace('{GIT_CONTEXT}', gitCtx)
  .replace('{DESIGN_SCHEMA}', designBlock);
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Update `gemini.ts`** (same pattern, `PROMPT_TEMPLATE` instead of `SYSTEM_PROMPT_TEMPLATE`)

In `PROMPT_TEMPLATE`, change `{STACK}{GIT_CONTEXT}` to `{STACK}{GIT_CONTEXT}{DESIGN_SCHEMA}`.

In `review()`, add `designBlock` and update `.replace()` chain to include `.replace('{DESIGN_SCHEMA}', designBlock)`.

- [ ] **Step 3: Update `codex.ts`** (same pattern)

In `SYSTEM_PROMPT_TEMPLATE`, change `{STACK}{GIT_CONTEXT}` to `{STACK}{GIT_CONTEXT}{DESIGN_SCHEMA}`.

In `review()`, add `designBlock` and update `.replace()` chain.

- [ ] **Step 4: Update `openai-compatible.ts`** (same pattern)

Same as codex.ts.

- [ ] **Step 5: Typecheck + run tests**

```bash
npx tsc --noEmit && node scripts/test-runner.mjs
```

Expected: 0 type errors, all tests pass

- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**

```bash
git add src/adapters/review-engine/claude.ts src/adapters/review-engine/gemini.ts src/adapters/review-engine/codex.ts src/adapters/review-engine/openai-compatible.ts
git commit -m "feat(ui-context): add {DESIGN_SCHEMA} prompt slot to all four review engine adapters"
```

---

### Task 5: Final typecheck + test run

- [ ] **Step 1: Full typecheck**

Run: `npx tsc --noEmit`
Expected: exit 0

- [ ] **Step 2: Full test suite**

Run: `node scripts/test-runner.mjs`
Expected: all tests pass, 0 failures
