Randall Stillwell 1944b1ed48 bootstrap: agent pipeline v0.5.0 + ship-readiness review
Installs the three-layer agent-pipeline scaffold (https://github.com/varutasu/agent-pipeline @ v0.5.0):

L1 — Context (curated brain)
- AGENTS.md: orientation, conventions, 8 explicit gotchas
- .cursor/rules/: no-go-zones, api-routes, auth-and-permissions,
  db-and-schema, ui-and-theming, schema-map
- .cursor/skills/: add-api-route, add-page recipes
- docs/agent-context/README.md: layer explainer
- docs/SCHEMA_MAP.md: hand-curated Neon Postgres reference
  (replaces Prisma schema map since stack is raw SQL)

L2 — Subagent roles (copied verbatim from upstream templates)
- 9 .cursor/agents/role-*.md files: Conductor, IA-Architect,
  UX-Reviewer, Architect, Implementer, Reviewer,
  Design-System-Auditor, A11y-Auditor, Doc-Writer

L3 — Pipeline scaffolding (Vercel variant)
- CI: lint + schema-map-drift only (no duplicate build —
  Vercel handles it). Test job commented out until vitest lands.
- preview-smoke + visual-diff via wait-for-vercel-preview
- pr-health-rollup sticky comment aggregator
- agent-context-drift weekly cron
- PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE, CODEOWNERS (auth/admin paths tagged)
- .convoys/ folder + seed ship-readiness.md review
- lib/flags/index.js (JS — converted from TS template)
- scripts/wt.sh (Cursor 3.2 deprecation stub),
  scripts/log-convoy-event.sh
- tests/smoke/app.smoke.spec.ts (Playwright skeleton)

Manifest
- .agent-context-manifest.yml: tracks 31 artifacts by sha256
  for future sync-agent-context drift detection

Review
- .convoys/ship-readiness.md: 16 findings (7 P0 ship-blockers,
  5 P1 quality-bar, 4 P2 refactor, P3 UX/IA/a11y/docs) with
  proposed 13-convoy launch sequence.

No production code changed in this commit. All findings in
the ship-readiness review will be addressed in follow-up convoys
starting with fix-auth-bypass.

Structural brain: user-code-review-graph MCP has indexed the
codebase (122 files, 628 nodes, 5602 edges, 11 communities,
84 flows). Per-developer; not committed.

Identifies which existing components and patterns to reuse, calls out anti-patterns to avoid, and lists a11y constraints that must be satisfied. Read-only.

Role: UX Reviewer

Trigger

After role-ia-architect for any classification that includes UI work. Skip when convoy frontmatter has skip: ux.

Inputs

  • The convoy file (with the IA section appended by the previous role).
  • Existing UI primitives directory (typically components/ui/ or src/components/ui/).
  • Design tokens (typically tailwind.config.ts, app/globals.css CSS variables).
  • Any rule scoped to components.mdc, styling.mdc, or design-system.mdc.

Outputs

Append a ## UX section to the convoy file with:

  1. Existing components to reuse — bullet list of <ComponentName> (path/to/file.tsx) for each reusable primitive the screens need. Be specific — name the file.
  2. Existing patterns to follow — referenced rules and example screens that solve a similar problem (e.g. "PostCard.tsx is the canonical card pattern; use the same Badge primitive there").
  3. A11y constraints — bullets enumerating: required ARIA labels, keyboard navigation paths, focus management, color-contrast requirements specific to this change.
  4. Interaction patterns — short list: hover/focus/active states, optimistic UI, error states, empty states, loading states. Mark each as required or nice-to-have.
  5. Anti-patterns to avoid — explicit list of what NOT to do (e.g. "Don't add a new color outside the design tokens for the badge background").
  6. Mobile / responsive notes — if the change has UI, this section is mandatory. If headless/server-only, note that.

Steps

  1. Read the convoy file. Find the IA section.
  2. For each screen in the IA inventory:
    • Glob for relevant existing components in components/ui/ (or equivalent).
    • Identify the closest existing pattern by reading 1-3 example files.
  3. Read the design tokens once (one Read of tailwind.config.ts or app/globals.css).
  4. Author the UX section. Be opinionated. Pick one pattern, not three options.
  5. Call out a11y requirements explicitly — don't say "follow a11y best practices"; say "requires aria-label on the toggle button when collapsed".
  6. Append section to convoy file.
  7. Print: "UX pass complete. Reuse: primitives. A11y constraints: . Next role: role-architect."

Hand-off

Message the user.

Metrics

After appending your UX section, emit one event. Shell access is restricted to this single command.

bash scripts/log-convoy-event.sh role=role-ux-reviewer convoy=<slug> duration_s=<seconds>

Skip silently if scripts/log-convoy-event.sh does not exist (L3 not installed).

Anti-patterns

  • Suggesting new components when an existing one fits → wrong, this role's job is reuse.
  • Vague a11y guidance ("follow WCAG") → wrong, list specific requirements.
  • Three alternatives — pick one → wrong, pick one with reasoning.
  • Designing the schema or API → wrong, that's Architect.
