Component contract (`ir/components/.json`): +name, group, description, props (name/type/enum/default/required), **prop→attribute mapping** +(React camelCase prop → Lit attribute/property), slots, events, variant axes, `docsRef`, +`exemplarRef`. Write `ir/SCHEMA.md` + a JSON Schema for validation. Decide and document that +`ir/` is committed (diffable blueprint). + +## Define the adapter interface + +```task +id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T02 +status: todo +priority: high +``` + +Document the contract every stack adapter implements so Vue/Angular/plain-CSS adapters are +drop-in: inputs (`ir/`), outputs (generated artifacts into the stack's source tree, a +machine-readable **drift report**, a **parity result**), idempotency rules (regenerate tokens ++ stubs; never overwrite hand-authored behavior), and exit codes for CI. Write +`adapters/ADAPTER_CONTRACT.md`. + +## Governance & propagation doc + +```task +id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T03 +status: todo +priority: medium +``` + +Document directionality (React canonical, one-way to stacks, Lit changes round-trip through +Claude Design), the drift-resolution workflow (who fills behavior, how a drift report is +triaged/closed), and how this extends the existing atelier→repo pipeline. Update +`DesignSystemIntroduction.md` (§5 propagation) and add a rule under `.claude/rules/`. + +--- + +## Phase 1 — Canonical React designbook source + +## Establish the React designbook as canonical + +```task +id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T04 +status: todo +priority: high +``` + +The pivot needs a real React source in Claude Design (the current project holds the +hand-authored web-component experiment, not a React component bundle). Decide how the +canonical React designbook is established and maintained: author a React expression of the +`wn-*` component set in Claude Design (native, `/design-sync`-compatible), tokens-first then +grow components, or adopt an existing React kit. Define how it is pulled into `designbook/`. +**Risk/dependency**: this is the precondition for IR extraction; scope it deliberately — +a minimal token-plus-core-components React designbook is enough to prove the pipeline. + +--- + +## Phase 2 — IR extraction (the pivot) + +## Build the IR extractor + +```task +id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T05 +status: todo +priority: high +``` + +Build `scripts/ir-extract.mjs`: read the `designbook/` React mirror — `.d.ts` (props), +`.prompt.md` (docs), `_ds_manifest.json` (groups), `tokens/` (values), preview `.html` +(exemplar render) — and emit `ir/tokens.json` (W3C format), `ir/components/.json` +(per T01 schema), and `ir/exemplars/.*`. Validate output against the JSON Schema from +T01. Add `make ir`. `ir/` is committed so a re-extract surfaces blueprint changes as a git diff. + +--- + +## Phase 3 — Lit reference adapter + +## Token generation (full gen) + +```task +id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T06 +status: todo +priority: high +``` + +`adapters/lit/`: generate CSS custom properties from `ir/tokens.json` into +`src/styles/colors_and_type.css` (the existing token layer). Fully generated + deterministic; +re-running is a no-op when nothing changed. Add `make adapt-lit` (tokens portion first). + +## Component scaffold + drift report + +```task +id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T07 +status: todo +priority: high +``` + +Extend `adapters/lit/`: for an IR component with no `wn-*` counterpart, generate a Lit stub +(`` skeleton + reactive properties from the contract's prop→attribute map + a TODO for +behavior). For an existing component, **emit a drift report** (`adapters/lit/drift/.md`): +prop/attribute mismatches, missing/extra variants, removed props — **never overwrite the +hand-authored element**. Map React prop types → Lit property declarations. Wire into +`make adapt-lit`. + +--- + +## Phase 4 — Parity verification + +## Contract + visual parity + +```task +id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T08 +status: todo +priority: medium +``` + +`make parity-lit`: (a) **contract parity** — assert each `wn-*` element's observed +attributes/properties match its IR contract (fail on drift); (b) **visual parity** — render +the Lit component and diff against `ir/exemplars/` using the existing Playwright harness, +emit a parity diff. Produce a single parity result per the adapter contract (T02). This is the +gate that confirms Lit actually matches the designbook appearance. + +--- + +## Phase 5 — Keep-up-to-date instruction set + +## Refresh loop + runbook + +```task +id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T09 +status: todo +priority: high +``` + +Wire and document the end-to-end refresh sequence so keeping Lit current against the React +designbook is one routine: + +1. `make designbook-check` — detect the cloud designbook moved (existing llm-connect backend). +2. `/design-sync` — pull the latest React designbook into `designbook/`. +3. `make designbook-sync` — record the diff (`RecentChanges.md`). +4. `make ir` — re-extract the IR; review the `ir/` git diff (the blueprint change). +5. `make adapt-lit` — regenerate tokens, scaffold new components, emit drift reports. +6. Resolve drift — fill/adjust Lit behavior guided by `adapters/lit/drift/*.md`. +7. `make parity-lit` — confirm appearance + contract parity. + +Add a `make designbook-refresh` orchestrator for the automatable steps (1–5, 7) and a +human-in-loop runbook for step 6. Document in `.claude/rules/stack-and-commands.md` and +`designbook/README.md`. + +--- + +## Phase 6 — Generalization hook (prove extractability) + +## Second-adapter smoke (validate the boundary) + +```task +id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T10 +status: todo +priority: low +``` + +Sketch a minimal second adapter (plain-CSS utility classes or a Vue stub) that consumes the +same `ir/` and implements the T02 contract — just enough to prove the IR/adapter boundary +holds and the architecture can be lifted into a coulomb-level tool later. Do not finish the +second stack; the deliverable is confidence in the seam. + +--- + +## Open questions / risks + +- **React designbook bootstrap (T04)** is the critical-path dependency — without a real React + source, the IR has nothing to extract. Keep its initial scope minimal. +- **Prop→attribute fidelity**: React props (objects, render props, callbacks) don't all map to + Lit attributes; the contract must mark non-portable props and the adapter must surface them + as drift, not silently drop them. +- **Exemplar parity tolerance**: web-component vs React rendering will differ at the pixel + level; parity needs a sensible diff threshold (reuse `maxDiffPixelRatio` discipline). +- **One-way constraint**: ensure the tooling never tempts a Lit→React back-edit that bypasses + Claude Design; governance doc (T03) must make the round-trip explicit. + +## Registering this workplan + +After review, register the workstream from `~/state-hub`: + +```bash +make fix-consistency REPO=whynot-design +```
