Target Storyboard UX (Before VS Code Extension)

[noelsaw1]

Perfect! Now let me create a succinct user storyboard:

🎬 User Storyboard: Brand New User → Fully Operational

Act 1: Discovery & Clone (2 minutes)

User: "I heard about AI-DDTK for WordPress development..."

# User finds the repo on GitHub
# Clicks "Clone" → copies URL
git clone https://github.com/Hypercart-Dev-Tools/AI-DDTK.git ~/bin/ai-ddtk
cd ~/bin/ai-ddtk

What they see:

Cloning into '/Users/username/bin/ai-ddtk'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 500, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (500/500), done.
Receiving objects: 100% (500/500), 2.5 MiB | 5.0 MiB/s, done.

What they have now:

• ✅ AI-DDTK repository cloned to ~/bin/ai-ddtk
• ✅ /temp folder structure already exists (16 folders with .gitkeep)
• ✅ temp/README.md ready to guide them
• ✅ .gitignore protecting them from committing sensitive data

---

Act 2: Installation (1 minute)

User: "Let me install this..."

./install.sh

What happens:

1. Script checks for shell config (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc)
2. Adds export PATH="$HOME/bin/ai-ddtk/bin:$PATH" to shell config
3. Shows success message

Output:

✓ Added AI-DDTK to PATH in ~/.zshrc
✓ Installation complete!

Next steps:
  1. Run: source ~/.zshrc
  2. Run: ./install.sh setup-wpcc
  3. Verify: wpcc --help

What they have now:

• ✅ wpcc command available (after sourcing shell)
• ✅ local-wp wrapper available
• ⏳ WPCC not yet set up (needs subtree)

---

Act 3: WPCC Setup (30 seconds)

User: "Okay, let me set up WPCC..."

./install.sh setup-wpcc
source ~/.zshrc  # Activate PATH changes

What happens:

1. Git subtree adds WP-Code-Check to tools/wp-code-check/
2. Downloads ~100 files from WPCC repository
3. Installs Node.js dependencies for WPCC

Output:

Setting up WP Code Check via git subtree...
git subtree add --prefix=tools/wp-code-check \
  https://github.com/Hypercart-Dev-Tools/WP-Code-Check.git main --squash

Added dir 'tools/wp-code-check'
✓ WPCC setup complete!

What they have now:

• ✅ wpcc command fully functional
• ✅ WPCC embedded at tools/wp-code-check/
• ✅ Can scan WordPress code from any project

---

Act 4: Verification (10 seconds)

User: "Does it work?"

wpcc --help

Output:

WP Code Check - WordPress Security & Performance Scanner

Usage:
  wpcc --paths <path> [options]

Options:
  --paths <path>        Path(s) to scan (comma-separated)
  --format <format>     Output format: text, json (default: text)
  --exclude <patterns>  Exclude patterns (comma-separated)
  --features            Show all available features

Examples:
  wpcc --paths ./wp-content/plugins/my-plugin
  wpcc --paths . --format json
  wpcc --features

User: "✅ It works!"

---

Act 5: First Use - Scanning a Plugin (1 minute)

User: "Let me scan my WordPress plugin..."

cd ~/projects/my-wordpress-site
wpcc --paths ./wp-content/plugins/my-plugin --format json

What happens:

1. WPCC scans the plugin (30+ security/performance checks)
2. Generates JSON output
3. User wants to save it...

User thinks: "Where should I save this report?"

User reads: temp/README.md → "Aha! temp/reports/wpcc/"

wpcc --paths ./wp-content/plugins/my-plugin --format json > ~/bin/ai-ddtk/temp/reports/wpcc/my-plugin-scan-$(date +%Y%m%d).json

What they have now:

• ✅ Scan report saved to temp/reports/wpcc/my-plugin-scan-20260207.json
• ✅ Report will never be committed to git (.gitignore protects it)
• ✅ Can share manually if needed

---

Act 6: Working with AI Agent (5 minutes)

User: "Let me use Claude to analyze this scan..."

Opens VS Code with Augment/Claude:

User: "Analyze this WPCC scan and fix the issues"

AI Agent:

1. Reads ~/bin/ai-ddtk/AGENTS.md (WordPress guidelines)
2. Reads ~/bin/ai-ddtk/temp/README.md (knows where to put files)
3. Reads scan results from temp/reports/wpcc/my-plugin-scan-20260207.json
4. Identifies 5 security issues
5. Saves analysis notes to temp/analysis/notes/security-findings.md
6. Fixes the code
7. Runs WPCC again to verify

AI Agent: "I found 5 issues and fixed them. New scan shows 0 issues. Analysis saved to temp/analysis/notes/security-findings.md"

What they have now:

• ✅ Plugin code fixed
• ✅ Analysis notes in temp/analysis/notes/
• ✅ Before/after scan reports in temp/reports/wpcc/
• ✅ All temporary files protected from git

---

Act 7: Storing Credentials (2 minutes)

User: "I need to test API integration with credentials..."

User reads: temp/README.md → "Store credentials in temp/credentials/"

# User creates credentials file
cat > ~/bin/ai-ddtk/temp/credentials/api-keys.json << EOF
{
  "stripe_key": "sk_test_...",
  "mailchimp_key": "abc123..."
}
EOF

User to AI Agent: "Load the API keys from temp and test the integration"

AI Agent:

// ✅ CORRECT - Loads from temp/credentials/
const keys = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('temp/credentials/api-keys.json', 'utf8'));

// Tests the integration
// Saves test results to temp/logs/api-test.log

What they have now:

• ✅ Credentials stored securely in temp/credentials/
• ✅ Never committed to git (.gitignore protects it)
• ✅ AI agent knows to load from there (guided by temp/README.md)

---

Act 8: Daily Workflow (Ongoing)

User's typical day:

# Morning: Check for updates
cd ~/bin/ai-ddtk
./install.sh status

# Scan a new plugin
cd ~/projects/client-site
wpcc --paths ./wp-content/plugins/new-plugin --format json > ~/bin/ai-ddtk/temp/reports/wpcc/new-plugin-$(date +%Y%m%d).json

# AI agent analyzes and fixes issues
# (AI saves notes to temp/analysis/notes/)

# Export database for testing (contains PII)
wp db export ~/bin/ai-ddtk/temp/data/backups/client-db-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql

# Run Playwright tests with saved auth
npx playwright test --project=chromium
# (Auth state loaded from temp/playwright/.auth/admin.json)

# End of day: Clean up old reports
find ~/bin/ai-ddtk/temp/reports -type f -mtime +30 -delete

What they have:

• ✅ Organized workflow
• ✅ All sensitive data in /temp (never committed)
• ✅ AI agents know where to put files
• ✅ Easy to find reports, logs, credentials
• ✅ Security by default
