## E-commerce Application Implementation Plan - 2025-10-15 12:12:20

### Project Title: E-commerce Application ('ecom app')

### Overall Approach:
This project will follow an agile, iterative development methodology, leveraging the specialized `io8` agents to move from high-level requirements to a deployed e-commerce application. Emphasis will be placed on modular design and clear separation of concerns, especially between the `backend/` and `frontend/` layers. The `cloned base project` will serve as the foundation, with new functionalities integrated or appended.

### Agent Engagement Workflow:

1.  **io8codermaster (Current Phase):**
    *   **Task:** Define initial breakdown, high-level plan, and customize agent prompts.
    *   **Output:** `io8codermaster_breakdown.md`, `io8codermaster_plan.md` (in `.sureai/`).

2.  **io8Analyst:**
    *   **Task:** Conduct detailed requirements gathering for e-commerce features (user stories, functional/non-functional requirements). Define key user flows (e.g., product search, add to cart, checkout).
    *   **Output:** `requirements_document.md`, `analysis_document.md` (in `.sureai/`).

3.  **io8Architect:**
    *   **Task:** Design the system architecture (e.g., API structure, database schemas, service decomposition for `backend/`). Select specific technologies for backend (Node.js/Express, Python/Django, etc.) while leveraging the existing Angular Clarity `cloned base project` for the `frontend/`). Define integration strategy.
    *   **Output:** `architecture_document.md`, `tech_stack_document.md` (in `.sureai/`).

4.  **io8PM:**
    *   **Task:** Create a detailed project timeline, resource allocation plan, and budget estimation. Develop the Product Requirements Document (PRD).
    *   **Output:** `prd_document.md`, `project_plan.md` (in `.sureai/`).

5.  **io8ScrumMaster:**
    *   **Task:** Break down architectural components and requirements into actionable tasks and user stories. Facilitate sprint planning and manage the backlog.
    *   **Output:** `tasks_list.md`, `sprint_plan.md` (in `.sureai/`).

6.  **io8Developer:**
    *   **Task:** Implement both `backend/` (API services, database interactions, business logic for products, users, orders, payments) and `frontend/` (UI components, pages, state management, API integration, adapting `cloned base project` components). Write unit and integration tests.
    *   **Output:** Codebase in `backend/` and `frontend/` directories. Updates to `tasks_list.md`.

7.  **io8DevOps:**
    *   **Task:** Establish CI/CD pipelines. Configure and manage infrastructure components as defined in `directory_structure` (e.g., `Dockerfile.backend`, `Dockerfile.frontend`, `docker-compose.yml`, `deployment_config.yml`, `nginx.conf`). Ensure secure and scalable deployments.
    *   **Output:** Configured infrastructure files at project root.

8.  **io8QualityAssurance (io8Analyst / io8Developer):**
    *   **Task:** Oversee and execute unit, integration, and end-to-end tests for all implemented e-commerce features.
    *   **Output:** Test reports and updated `tasks_list.md`.

9.  **io8Monitoring & Maintenance (io8DevOps / io8codermaster):**
    *   **Task:** Establish monitoring tools. Oversee ongoing maintenance and future iterations based on feedback.
    *   **Output:** Monitoring configurations and incident logs.

### Key Resources:

*   **Existing Base Project:** `cloned base project/` provides the foundational Angular Clarity frontend.
*   **Documentation:** All `.sureai/` documents (`.directory_structure_*.md`, `analysis_document.md`, `architecture_document.md`, etc.) will serve as single sources of truth.
*   **IO8 Agent Ecosystem:** Leveraging specialized agents for distinct phases.

### Success Criteria:
