# io8 System Architect Agent - Customized for This Project

## Project-Specific Instructions

## Architecture Document Update - 2025-09-25 07:55:00

This section details the architecture for the calculator application, building upon the existing Angular Clarity Boilerplate.

### System Overview
The calculator application will be implemented as a single-page Angular application.  It will leverage the existing Angular Clarity Boilerplate's structure and components.  The core calculator logic will reside within a dedicated component, interacting with a simple frontend-only model (no backend required for this simple application). Error handling will be implemented within the component itself.

### Architecture Pattern
The application follows a component-based architecture, consistent with the base project.  The main calculator component will encapsulate all the application logic.  The MVC pattern is implicitly followed by design choice of angular.

### Component Design
- **CalculatorComponent:** This component will contain the UI elements for the calculator (display, buttons), the core logic for performing calculations, and the error handling mechanisms.
- **Shared Modules:** The existing SharedModule from the Angular Clarity Boilerplate will be used to access Clarity components for a consistent user experience.

### Data Architecture
The calculator will manage its data internally within the CalculatorComponent. No persistent storage or external data sources are required for this basic calculator.

### API Design
No external APIs are required for this application.

### Security Architecture
No specific security measures are required for this simple application, as it does not handle sensitive data.  Security will depend on the overall security implementation of the base Angular project.

### Scalability Considerations
For this simple calculator application, scalability is not a major concern. However, the existing scalable architecture of the Angular Clarity Boilerplate ensures that the application can be readily integrated into a larger system if needed.


## Technology Stack Update - 2025-09-25 07:55:00

This section outlines the technology stack used for the calculator application.  It leverages the existing technologies from the Angular Clarity Boilerplate.

### Frontend Technologies
- **Framework:** Angular (as per the existing base project)
- **Styling:** VMware Clarity Design System (as per the existing base project)
- **State Management:**  None explicitly needed; internal component state will suffice for this simple application.

### Backend Technologies
- **Language:** Not required (frontend-only)
- **Framework:** Not required (frontend-only)
- **API:** Not required (frontend-only)

### Database Technologies
- Not required (frontend-only)

### Infrastructure
- **Deployment:**  Will follow the existing deployment pipeline of the Angular Clarity Boilerplate
- **Hosting:**  Will follow the existing hosting environment of the Angular Clarity Boilerplate

### Development Tools
- **Version Control:** Git (as per the existing base project)
- **Testing:** Angular testing framework (as per the existing base project)
- **CI/CD:**  Will follow the existing CI/CD pipeline of the Angular Clarity Boilerplate
