**io8coder Plan for "Angular Clarity Boilerplate":**

**Project Title:** Angular Clarity Boilerplate

**Project Goal:** To provide developers with a feature-rich, scalable, and easy-to-use boilerplate for building enterprise-grade Angular applications with the Clarity Design System.

**Key Deliverables:**

1.  A pre-configured Angular project.
2.  Integration with the Clarity Design System.
3.  A responsive layout with a header, sidebar, and content area.
4.  Example modules (core, shared) and components.
5.  A clear and well-documented project structure.

**Technology Stack:**

* **Frontend:** Angular, TypeScript, HTML, SCSS.
* **UI Framework:** Clarity Design System.
* **Package Manager:** npm.
* **Build Tool:** Angular CLI.

**Phased Approach:**

**Phase 1: Project Setup and Core Architecture (Estimated: 1 day)**

* **Task 1.1:** Initialize a new Angular project.
* **Task 1.2:** Integrate the Clarity Design System.
* **Task 1.3:** Set up the core and shared modules.
* **Task 1.4:** Create the main layout component with a header, sidebar, and content area.

**Phase 2: Navigation and Routing (Estimated: 1 day)**

* **Task 2.1:** Implement the main routing module (`app-routing.module.ts`).
* **Task 2.2:** Create a navigation service to manage sidebar menu items.
* **Task 2.3:** Add example routes and components (e.g., dashboard, about page).
* **Task 2.4:** Implement lazy loading for feature modules.

**Phase 3: Example Components and Theming (Estimated: 2 days)**

* **Task 3.1:** Create example components using various Clarity components (datagrid, forms, modals, etc.).
* **Task 3.2:** Implement a theme service for switching between light and dark themes.
* **Task 3.3:** Add custom styles and branding.

**Phase 4: Documentation and Finalization (Estimated: 1 day)**

* **Task 4.1:** Write a comprehensive `README.txt` file.
* **Task 4.2:** Add comments and documentation to the code.
* **Task 4.3:** Clean up the codebase and remove any unnecessary files.

**Testing Strategy:**

* **Unit Tests:** Use Jasmine and Karma to write unit tests for components and services.
* **End-to-End Tests:** Use Protractor or Cypress for end-to-end testing of user flows.
* **Manual Testing:** Perform manual testing to ensure the application is working as expected.

**Assumptions:**

* The developer has a basic understanding of Angular and the Clarity Design System.
* The developer has Node.js and the Angular CLI installed.

## CODER PLAN UPDATE - 2025-09-26 09:55:54

### Implementation Plan: Weather App (io8codermaster)

**Date:** 2025-09-26 09:44:40

This plan outlines the sequence of operations and agent engagement for developing the 'Weather App', building upon the existing Angular Clarity boilerplate. The plan emphasizes iterative development and adheres to the `io8coder` workflow principles.

**Phase 1: Requirements Analysis & High-Level Architecture (io8Analyst & io8Architect Lead)**
*   **Duration:** 1-2 weeks
*   **Objective:** Define detailed functional and non-functional requirements, select primary external weather API, and design the high-level system architecture.
*   **Tasks:**
    1.  **io8Analyst:**
        *   Conduct thorough requirement gathering for current weather, N-day forecast, location search (city name, geolocation), unit conversion (C/F).
        *   Document detailed user stories and acceptance criteria in `requirements_document.md` and `analysis_document.md`.
        *   Identify core data points to be displayed (temperature, humidity, wind, conditions).
    2.  **io8Architect:**
        *   Research and select the most suitable external weather API(s) based on features, reliability, cost, and rate limits. Document choice in `tech_stack_document.md`.
        *   Design the overall system architecture, including data flow between frontend, backend proxy, and external API.
        *   Outline backend API endpoints and data models. Create a preliminary `architecture_document.md`.
        *   Propose frontend component structure within the existing Angular Clarity framework.

**Phase 2: Backend Core Development & API Integration (io8Developer Lead)**
*   **Duration:** 2-3 weeks
*   **Objective:** Implement the backend service to securely fetch and serve weather data from the chosen external API.
*   **Tasks:**
    1.  **io8Developer:**
        *   Set up the `backend/` project structure as defined in `.directory_structure.md` (e.g., Python/Node.js project).
        *   Implement secure handling of external weather API keys (e.g., environment variables).
        *   Develop backend endpoints for `GET /api/current-weather?location={city}` and `GET /api/forecast?location={city}`.
        *   Integrate with the selected external weather API to fetch raw data.
        *   Implement data transformation and sanitization logic to provide a clean API for the frontend.
        *   Add unit tests for backend logic and API integration.
        *   Document backend API specifications (e.g., in a section of `architecture_document.md` or `developer_*.md`).

**Phase 3: Frontend Development & UI Integration (io8Developer Lead)**
*   **Duration:** 3-4 weeks
*   **Objective:** Build the user interface using Angular Clarity to display weather information and handle user interactions.
*   **Tasks:**
    1.  **io8Developer:**
        *   Create Angular components for `SearchBarComponent`, `WeatherCardComponent`, and `ForecastListComponent` within `src/app/shared/` or feature modules.
        *   Develop `HomePageComponent` to orchestrate these components and integrate with the backend service.
        *   Implement client-side logic for making HTTP requests to the `backend/` API.
        *   Design and apply styles consistent with Angular Clarity, possibly extending `styles.scss` or component-specific `.scss` files.
        *   Implement features for location search and display updates.
        *   Add loading states, error messages, and basic input validation to enhance UX.
        *   Implement unit tests for frontend components.
        *   Document component usage and structure (e.g., in `developer_*.md`).

**Phase 4: DevOps, Containerization & Deployment Preparation (io8DevOps Lead)**
*   **Duration:** 1-2 weeks
*   **Objective:** Prepare the application for deployment by containerizing services and defining deployment configurations.
*   **Tasks:**
    1.  **io8DevOps:**
        *   Create `Dockerfile.backend` to containerize the backend service.
        *   Create `Dockerfile.frontend` to containerize the Angular application (e.g., build and serve with Nginx).
        *   Develop `docker-compose.yml` to define and orchestrate both backend and frontend services for local development and testing.
        *   Configure `deployment_config.yml` with environment-specific variables and deployment parameters for a target cloud platform.
        *   Document local setup and deployment procedures (e.g., in `devops_*.md`).

**Cross-Cutting Activities (io8PM & io8ScrumMaster throughout all phases):**

*   **io8PM:** Oversee overall project health, manage risks (e.g., API rate limits, external API changes), ensure alignment with `prd_document.md` (populated by PM).
*   **io8ScrumMaster:** Facilitate agile ceremonies, manage `tasks_list.md` and `sprint_plan.md`, remove impediments, and ensure effective team collaboration.
*   **Documentation:** Ensure all agent-specific output files (`.analyst_*.md`, `.architect_*.md`, etc.) and visible documents (`analysis_document.md`, `architecture_document.md`, etc.) are updated and maintained.
*   **Testing:** Continuous testing throughout development; unit, integration, and potentially end-to-end tests.
