feat(v2.4.0): HTML SDD foundation — templates, theming, plugin integration (PR 1/5)#10
Conversation
…D migration Lay the semantic foundation for the spec-driven development workflow's migration from Markdown to canonical HTML. Each template establishes the data-attribute-based mutation strategy that lets Claude's Edit tool act as the HTML mutator without introducing any external parser dependency. Templates added (core/templates/html/): - tasks.html.template — canonical Option D exemplar. Establishes the data-task-id + data-status contract that /own:done mutates and /own:status counts via pure text operations. - roadmap.html.template — phase-detection contract using data-phase-number + data-phase-name + data-status, consumed by /own:feature for next-incomplete-phase auto-detection. - mission.html.template — project vision template with distinct data-dod-id namespace to prevent /own:done cross-file mutations. - stack.html.template — technology table with data-stack-layer rows and source attribution via data-source-type. - spec.html.template — user stories, acceptance criteria, edge cases, and out-of-scope sections with referenceable data-* IDs. - design.html.template — technical software architecture (NOT UI mockups). Trade-off articles with chosen/rejected/reasoning blocks. - theme-prompt.md.template — default Apple Documentation aesthetic prompt consumed by frontend-design to generate theme.css. - theme-fallback.css — hand-authored production CSS mirroring the default aesthetic. Used when frontend-design plugin is unavailable. Covers every semantic class and data-* selector across all 6 templates with light/dark mode via prefers-color-scheme. Inline HTML comments document mutation contracts in every template for self-discoverability across future Claude sessions. Refs #9 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…integration Add the v2.4.0 /own:theme slash command that lets developers manage the visual styling of their generated HTML SDD files independently of the workflow itself. The theme is a single CSS file referenced by all six HTML templates, so changing themes is instant and lossless — no HTML files need regenerating. The command exposes four actions through AskUserQuestion: - Change theme prompt — free-text custom prompt for frontend-design - Pick a preset — bundled aesthetic presets (apple-light/dark, etc.) - Regenerate current — re-roll CSS using the existing prompt - View full prompt — read-only inspection of theme-prompt.md Every write is backup-first: the prior prompt and CSS are copied to ownyourcode/.theme/.history/[ISO-timestamp]/ before overwrite, enabling non-destructive iteration. The accompanying /own:theme --revert flow restores from any timestamped backup. frontend-design is treated as a soft dependency: when the plugin is unavailable, the command falls back to the bundled theme-fallback.css and writes theme.fallback_mode = true to the manifest. Users without the plugin still get an acceptable themed output instead of an error. Hard constraint enforced in the command's instructions: theme prompts that attempt to alter SDD workflow semantics (e.g., "hide the checkboxes") must be rejected with a warning. The theme is visual styling only — never workflow. Refs #9 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ependency Insert a new Phase 0.5 between the existing MCP check (Phase 0) and the project detection step (Phase 1) so that every fresh OwnYourCode project starts with a working visual theme for its eventual HTML SDD files. The phase is idempotent — it detects an existing .theme/ directory and skips entirely, so re-running /own:init never overwrites a user's customized theme. The new flow: 1. Skip if ownyourcode/.theme/ already exists. 2. Detect the frontend-design plugin via the marketplace cache. 3. If missing, surface a single AskUserQuestion with an explicit permission request to install it — Daniel does not want users discovering plugin dependencies via cryptic failures later. 4. Honor the user's choice: install on yes, set fallback_mode on skip. 5. Create ownyourcode/.theme/ with history directory pre-seeded. 6. Copy the default theme prompt from ownyourcode/templates/html/. 7. Generate theme.css via frontend-design (or copy fallback CSS). 8. Record theme metadata in .claude/ownyourcode-manifest.json. This phase ships in PR 1 ahead of the HTML output activation (planned for PR 2 in /own:feature). Until then, theme.css sits ready and is harmlessly inactive — no existing functionality breaks. When PR 2 flips /own:init's Phase 6 to write HTML, the theme is already in place. Refs #9 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Extend both the POSIX (bash) and Windows (PowerShell) install scripts with a STEP 7.5 that propagates the v2.4.0 HTML template bundle from the OwnYourCode source repo into each user's installed project. The new step runs between the existing guides copy (STEP 7) and the product-templates heredoc generation (STEP 8), preserving the established ordering convention. Templates land at ownyourcode/templates/html/ inside the user's project so commands like /own:init Phase 0.5, /own:feature, and /own:theme can resolve them via relative project-root paths instead of needing a separately-discovered install location. Both glob copies are made safe on older source repos: missing files or directories are silently skipped (POSIX uses 2>/dev/null || true; PowerShell uses Test-Path guards). Existing installations that upgrade by re-running the installer get the new templates added without overwriting anything they already have.

Document the v2.4.0 PR 1 scope explicitly so future readers of the changelog understand the foundation-only nature of this PR and the four subsequent PRs that will activate HTML output, mutation contracts, and the migration command. CHANGELOG additions land in [Unreleased] under a dedicated v2.4.0 sub-heading rather than under Repository Infrastructure, because this is a product-surface change (templates, command, init phase) rather than internal tooling. README's slash-command table now lists /own:theme between /own:profile and /own:test, tagged with the v2.4.0+ availability marker so users who land on the README without context can see at a glance that this command requires a later release.

…lash command PR #10 review caught a real correctness bug in Phase 0.5 Step 3: the "Yes, install it" branch invoked `claude plugin install ...` as a shell command, but Claude Code's plugin marketplace install is a slash command (`/plugin install`). The shell form silently fails and downgrades every opt-in user to the bundled fallback CSS, defeating the purpose of the install prompt. Slash commands cannot directly invoke other slash commands from within their flow, so the corrected behavior is to instruct the user to run `/plugin install frontend-design@claude-plugins-official` themselves, then re-run `/own:init`. The re-run hits Step 2's plugin detection, finds the now-installed plugin, and skips the install prompt entirely — clean idempotent handoff. Surfacing the slash-command invocation also gives the user explicit visibility into what's being installed, which fits OwnYourCode's evidence-based-engineering principle better than a hidden shell exec. Addresses MAJOR finding (P3/S4) on PR #10. Refs #10 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…m preview Two minor review findings addressed in a single touch on theme.md: 1. The Phase 1 pre-flight error message that fires when ownyourcode/.theme/ is missing previously told the user to "run /own:migrate first" — but /own:migrate ships in PR 5 and does not exist when PR 1 lands alone. The message now explains both paths honestly: new v2.4.0+ projects should run /own:init; existing Markdown projects acknowledge that /own:migrate is forthcoming and offer a manual workaround in the meantime. Users reading the message during the PR-1-only window get accurate guidance instead of a dead-end command name. 2. The Phase 7 preview action previously hardcoded macOS's `open` with a comment promising cross-platform support but no actual branching. Linux and Windows users hit a silent no-op. The corrected flow detects the platform via `uname -s` and dispatches to `open` on macOS, `xdg-open` on Linux, and `start` on Cygwin/MSYS/MinGW. A PowerShell-equivalent `Start-Process` snippet is documented for PowerShell sessions where `uname` is absent. If no opener is available, the file path is surfaced so the user can open it manually rather than nothing happening. Addresses MINOR findings S4 and T1 on PR #10. Refs #10 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…l parity The PowerShell variant of STEP 7.5 was already using -Recurse to copy the HTML template bundle, so it would automatically pick up any subdirectory that lands later (e.g., a planned presets/ folder for bundled theme presets). The bash variant only globbed *.template and *.css at the top level, which would silently skip future subdirectories — a real parity gap waiting to bite the moment presets/ ships. The fixed bash version uses `cp -R "$SRC/." "$DEST/"` to recursively copy the entire html/ directory contents, mirroring the PowerShell semantics exactly. The trailing `/.` ensures contents are copied (not the directory itself), keeping the destination flat the way the PowerShell version produces it. A guard checks for the source directory's existence first so older OwnYourCode source repos (where the templates don't yet exist) still install cleanly. Addresses MINOR finding T1 on PR #10. Refs #10 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ompt The default theme prompt previously embedded a TODO(daniel) note as a Markdown comment immediately after the H1 heading. The note was intended as an editor-time reminder for the project author but was inside the file content itself, so it would ship into every user's ownyourcode/.theme/theme-prompt.md on install — visible whenever they opened the file to edit their theme, even though the personal addressing applies only to the upstream repo. Removing the lines entirely. The HTML comment block at the top of the file (explaining how the prompt is consumed) is unchanged — that guidance is genuinely useful for users editing their own theme.

Praise notes saved to my career memory — particularly the Option D contract and fallback CSS callouts. 🙏 Ready for re-review. The CI gate should kick off automatically on this push. |
…g Phase 0.5 The previous fix correctly switched the plugin install invocation from a shell command to the /plugin install slash command, but it forced every opt-in user to STOP /own:init and re-run from Phase -1, throwing away their already-completed profile selection, MCP check, and any other in-flight progress. Real correctness, real UX regression. The corrected design uses two AskUserQuestion calls to hold the slash command's flow in place while the user runs /plugin install in a separate message. The first AskUserQuestion asks whether to install at all; the second is the actual pause — it stays open while the user types the install command elsewhere in the conversation, and resumes Phase 0.5 from exactly the point it paused when they pick "Done." After the user reports "Done," Phase 0.5 re-runs the plugin detection silently. On success, it continues to Step 4 (.theme/ creation) with plugin_available = true. On failure (install didn't register, command mistyped, plugin cache not refreshed), it loops up to two retries before forcing the skip path so no user ever ends up stuck. The "Cancel — use fallback" branch at every prompt level preserves the soft-dependency contract: every user keeps all their progress and ends up with a working theme regardless of whether the plugin lands. Why this works: AskUserQuestion in Claude Code holds the conversation turn open until the user answers. Other slash commands invoked in between (like /plugin install) don't destroy the parent command's context — when the user picks an option, the original /own:init flow resumes where it paused.

| Severity | Rule | Finding |
|---|---|---|
| MINOR | P3 | The Rationale at init.md:833 makes a confident claim about Claude Code's runtime behavior (AskUserQuestion holds the parent flow while another slash command runs in between) that isn't cited or empirically verified. Same category of issue as the prior MAJOR (claude plugin install was assumed to exist) — but saved from blocking merge by the graceful-degradation property: if the assumption is wrong, the worst case is the user picks "Install failed" and lands on fallback CSS. See inline. |
| PRAISE | — | The bounded retry loop at init.md:827 (3 attempts total, then forced graceful exit to fallback) is exactly the discipline this kind of flow needs — explicit cap, lossless exit, user controls every iteration. See inline. |
| PRAISE | — | Recovering from the prior fix's UX regression with zero work lost across every branch is genuine engineering taste. The soft-dependency contract you set at the top of this PR holds at the third level of nested branching (Skip → Try again × 3 → Force-skip) — that's not accidental, it's deliberate graceful-degradation architecture, and it shows in every state transition. |
Philosophy re-check
- P1 (Socratic):
AskUserQuestionflows multiplied, never collapsed to a hardcoded path. ✅ - P2 (Ownership / Gate 1): Strengthened, actually — the user explicitly invokes
/plugin installthemselves (consent + visibility) instead of having it happen autonomously. The pause-and-resume preserves the visible chain of decisions. ✅ - P3 (Evidence-Based): One small slip — the Rationale's claim about
AskUserQuestionruntime behavior is unverified. See inline finding.⚠️ (non-blocking) - P4 (Universal Audience): Materially improved — Junior-profile users no longer pay a "lose all your work" tax for opting into the plugin. ✅
Standards re-check
- S1/S2 (frontmatter, tool minimalism): No change. Still clean.
- S4 (cross-references): No new cross-references introduced. Existing
/own:migratesoftened reference (from prior pass) still resolves to honest fallback guidance. - T1 (.sh/.ps1 parity): No change to install scripts in this commit. Prior parity fix (
08cc6be) still holds. - T2 (template migration): No template changes.
theme-prompt.md.templatestill clean post-ab01c75. - D2 (CHANGELOG): The
[Unreleased]block already documents Phase 0.5 in full — this commit is a fix-up to that same Unreleased feature, no new entry needed. ✅ - D3 (commit pitch):
fix(own:init): pause-and-resume plugin install flow without restarting Phase 0.5— passes the recruiter-skim test. Body explains the why (UX regression, lost progress) and the how (twoAskUserQuestioncalls). Strong commit discipline. ✅
Verdict
Daniel caught and fixed a real regression I should have flagged in the prior pass — that's the kind of self-review that makes external review work. The new flow is materially better than what merged in my "APPROVE" review: it preserves user progress, degrades gracefully under every failure mode I can construct, and reads cleanly. The one P3 nit on the unverified runtime assumption is real but bounded by the graceful-degradation design, so it's a follow-up not a blocker.
Ship it.

|
Manual /own:init runtime testing in /tmp/owntest-pr1 surfaced a real correctness bug that no static review caught. When the user uninstalled the frontend-design plugin to exercise the install prompt, Phase 0.5 silently bypassed Step 3 entirely and went straight to creating the .theme/ directory with fallback CSS — while telling the user "plugin is available so I'll use it for premium styling." The user- facing claim and the manifest's fallback_mode: true value disagreed about the same runtime fact, and the install prompt the user actually wanted to test never appeared. Root cause was instruction ambiguity in our own prompt: "Run silently:" above the plugin detection bash command was interpreted as "skip running the command" rather than "do not narrate the command." Without the actual bash output, the implementing agent fell back to assuming the plugin existed (which happened to be the most common case), then correctly used fallback CSS in Step 5 once it discovered there was no real signal — but never reconciled the contradictory message it had already shown the user. Fixed by adding an EXECUTION CONTRACT block at the top of Phase 0.5 that establishes two non-negotiable rules: (1) every bash command in the phase MUST be executed via the Bash tool, with branching decisions driven by the literal stdout, and (2) any user-facing message about plugin availability MUST match the manifest's fallback_mode value — the two cannot disagree. Step 1 and Step 2 are rewritten with imperative "Execute this bash command via the Bash tool" headers and explicit "do NOT assume" guidance. Step 2's bash command now produces an unambiguous "plugin:found" / "plugin:missing" marker via `&& echo / || echo` so the decision input is text-deterministic rather than empty-string-versus-something. This is the same category of bug as the prior MAJOR finding on the shell-vs-slash plugin install — a P3 (Evidence-Based Engineering) slip where the spec made a confident claim that wasn't backed by an executed verification. Found by Daniel's own runtime test rather than the static reviewer, which is exactly what runtime tests exist for. Refs #10 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…s seed fallback
Two consecutive rounds of runtime testing in /tmp/owntest-pr1 demonstrated
that the original Phase 0.5 design — programmatically detect the
frontend-design plugin, optionally pause-and-resume for an install
handoff, then invoke the plugin as a Skill mid-flow to generate
theme.css — is not reliably deliverable inside a Claude Code slash
command. Three failure modes converged:
1. Stale cache directories from prior /plugin uninstall left the
check command returning "directory exists" even when the plugin
was effectively gone. Tightening the bash check to use && echo
"plugin:found" markers didn't help because the cache dir genuinely
existed.
2. The implementing agent repeatedly skipped the plugin-detection
bash command despite explicit EXECUTION CONTRACT instructions to
run it, defaulting to "plugin probably available" assumptions.
Even the second round of hardening (Step 2 explicitly imperative,
"do NOT assume" warnings, deterministic markers) did not produce
the desired execution behavior.
3. The agent's own narration in the test runs reported the plugin
could not be invoked as a Skill mid-flow at all, which makes
Step 5's "Invoke the frontend-design skill" instruction
architecturally undeliverable from inside this slash command —
regardless of whether the plugin is installed.
Rather than continue layering reliability fixes on a fundamentally
fragile mid-flow integration, this commit removes the entire plugin
detection / install / skill-invocation path and replaces it with a
deterministic "always seed the bundled fallback CSS" design. The
fallback CSS was already independently praised by the PR reviewer as
"real engineering taste — token-driven, full light/dark parity, covers
every semantic class," so making it the universal default rather than
a degradation path is honest about what we can actually ship.
Phase 0.5 went from 7 steps and ~190 lines to 4 steps and ~80 lines.
The user-facing summary now ends with a prominent, opt-in upgrade hint
that explains how to install the plugin manually and how /own:theme
regenerates theme.css. This shifts the plugin from "automatic mid-flow
dependency we try to install for you" to "optional polish the user
opts into when they want it" — and stops the slash-command flow from
making confident claims it cannot back up.

| MINOR | D2 | The CHANGELOG [Unreleased] block still describes the pre-refactor Phase 0.5 ("detects the frontend-design plugin, offers auto-install with explicit user permission, ... generates the project's initial theme.css"). None of that ships after 8da392d. See inline on CHANGELOG.md:15. The PR description's "/own:init hook" table row drifted the same way and is worth refreshing alongside. |
| PRAISE | P3 | The whole simplification arc is the cleanest P3 demonstration in this PR. The previous design's load-bearing assumptions (plugin detection reliability, AskUserQuestion pause-and-resume across user-invoked slash commands, mid-flow Skill invocation) were all unverified — and runtime testing in /tmp/owntest-pr1 proved each one wrong. The new design has zero such load-bearing claims. See inline on init.md:737-750. |
| PRAISE | — | The fact that theme-fallback.css was already engineered to production-quality is what made this retreat honest.

That's compounding engineering investment paying off exactly where it should. |

Philosophy re-check
- P1 (Socratic): Questions removed from Phase 0.5 only because they rested on broken runtime behavior. The teaching flows that worked (Phase -1 profile selection, MCP check) are intact. No regression. ✅
- P2 (Ownership / Gate 1): Strengthened. The user owns their
theme.css(it's the bundled fallback they can edit) and the upgrade path is explicit and consent-gated. ✅ - P3 (Evidence-Based): Materially improved. All unverified runtime claims removed; remaining bash commands are deterministic and observable. ✅
- P4 (Universal Audience): Materially improved. All five profiles get production-grade default; power users opt into the plugin via the documented upgrade hint. No profile loses. ✅
Standards re-check
- S1/S2 (frontmatter, tool minimalism): unchanged, still clean. Phase 0.5 now uses fewer tools, which is a win.
- S3 (plan-mode warning): unchanged at top of

- T2 (template migration awareness): no template changes; clean.
- T3 (manifest schema):
theme.fallback_modedefault flipped totrue, which is honest about the post-refactor reality. Additive — no schema break. - X1/X2 (security): no new shell-execution surface; deterministic bash with proper quoting.
- D1 (README sync):
/own:themerow at line 118 still correct. - D2 (CHANGELOG): stale — see MINOR finding above.
- D3 (commit pitch): both new commits pass the recruiter-skim test with strong bodies.
- D4 (learning registry): no learning entries touched.
Verdict
The architectural decision in 8da392d is the right call, and the way Daniel got there — runtime testing surfacing a P3 violation, tightening the contract, watching that fail too, then stepping back to simplify rather than escalating complexity — is exactly the senior judgment this project is supposed to teach. The previous reviews (mine included) approved a design that the runtime didn't actually honor; runtime testing caught what static review missed. That's the entire point of P3.
The CHANGELOG drift is real but a 30-second fix and doesn't block merge — it's a doc sync issue caused by an architectural change, not a correctness problem in the code. Touch up the [Unreleased] block (and ideally the PR body's table row) before merging, and this lands cleanly.
Ship it.

Replace that paragraph with an accurate description of the deterministic fallback-first design: Phase 0.5 seeds ownyourcode/.theme/ with the bundled theme prompt and theme-fallback.css unconditionally, then surfaces an opt-in upgrade hint pointing users to /plugin install frontend-design@claude-plugins-official followed by /own:theme.
