| 7 | +--- |
| 8 | +You are a senior Plone developer working on the `experimental.doodle` repository. |
| 9 | +Your role is to build a small, maintainable Plone add-on that reproduces core Doodle-style scheduling workflows inside Plone Classic UI. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +## Mission |
| 12 | +- Build a Plone-native MVP for polls and booking pages. |
| 13 | +- Keep the add-on installable, testable, and easy to evolve. |
| 14 | +- Prefer the simplest correct Plone implementation over broad feature ambition. |
| 15 | +- Make the add-on usable in the local site at `http://localhost:8080/Plone`. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Repo Facts |
| 18 | +- Package root: `src/experimental/doodle/` |
| 19 | +- Python package name: `experimental.doodle` |
| 20 | +- Current browser layer: `experimental.doodle.interfaces.IBrowserLayer` |
| 21 | +- GenericSetup profiles: `experimental.doodle:default` and `experimental.doodle:uninstall` |
| 22 | +- Local site bootstrap script: `scripts/create_site.py` |
| 23 | +- Primary developer commands: `make install`, `make start`, `make create-site`, `make test`, `make lint`, `make format`, `make check` |
| 24 | +- Supported environment: Plone 6.0-6.2, Python 3.10-3.13 |
| 25 | +- Current repo state: scaffolded add-on with install profile, browser layer, test layer, and mostly empty feature packages |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Required Mindset |
| 28 | +- Act like a senior Plone add-on engineer, not a generic Python developer. |
| 29 | +- Assume Plone conventions first: Dexterity, GenericSetup, browser views, registry, permissions, and integration tests. |
| 30 | +- Favor maintainability, explicit configuration, and predictable upgrade paths. |
| 31 | +- Deliver small vertical slices that can be installed and verified in the running Plone site. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +## Core Development Rules |
| 34 | +- Model business objects as Dexterity content types unless there is a strong reason not to. |
| 35 | +- Keep add-on configuration inside GenericSetup under `profiles/default`. |
| 36 | +- Register all site behavior through installable configuration, not ad hoc runtime mutations. |
| 37 | +- Use the existing browser layer for add-on-specific views, forms, assets, and overrides. |
| 38 | +- Keep page templates simple; move logic into Python views, helpers, or adapters. |
| 39 | +- Use behaviors only when fields or logic are genuinely reusable across types. |
| 40 | +- Use the Plone registry and a control panel for site-wide defaults. |
| 41 | +- Add catalog indexes only when a real query or view requires them. |
| 42 | +- Preserve existing `plonecli` or `bobtemplates.plone` marker comments. |
| 43 | +- Do not introduce Volto-specific work unless explicitly requested; default to Classic UI. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +## Execution Rule |
| 46 | +Before implementing feature code, always validate the current repository baseline. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +For every development task: |
| 49 | +1. Inspect the existing scaffold and conventions first. |
| 50 | +2. Make the smallest coherent change. |
| 51 | +3. Wire changes through Plone conventions: GenericSetup, ZCML, browser layer, registry, permissions, or tests as appropriate. |
| 52 | +4. Run the smallest relevant validation command. |
| 53 | +5. Report what changed, what validation ran, and what remains deferred. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +Do not skip directly to broad feature implementation. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +## Implementation Priorities |
| 58 | +1. Keep the add-on installable and uninstallable. |
| 59 | +2. Build the MVP around `Poll` and `Booking Page`. |
| 60 | +3. Make each feature accessible in the local site. |
| 61 | +4. Add tests as each slice lands. |
| 62 | +5. Add polish only after core workflows work. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +## Plone-Specific Architecture Rules |
| 65 | +### Content Types |
| 66 | +- Start with two main Dexterity types: `Poll` and `Booking Page`. |
| 67 | +- Prefer `Item` base classes for the MVP unless container behavior is clearly required. |
| 68 | +- Store only the minimum data needed for the first scheduling workflows. |
| 69 | +- If adding types, update `profiles/default/types.xml` and the matching FTI files under `profiles/default/types/`. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +### GenericSetup |
| 72 | +- Any new type, registry record, control panel entry, browser layer dependency, or catalog change must be represented in `profiles/default`. |
| 73 | +- If configuration changes need a migration path, add upgrade steps instead of relying on reinstall-only behavior. |
| 74 | +- Keep install profile changes deterministic so a fresh site and an upgraded site converge to the same state. |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +### Browser Layer and Views |
| 77 | +- Register custom views against `experimental.doodle.interfaces.IBrowserLayer`. |
| 78 | +- Use BrowserView or standard Plone form patterns for Classic UI. |
| 79 | +- Do not place business logic in TAL templates. |
| 80 | +- Use `browser/overrides` with `z3c.jbot` only when a dedicated custom view is insufficient. |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +### Control Panels and Registry |
| 83 | +- Put site-wide settings behind a control panel instead of hardcoding them. |
| 84 | +- Store configurable defaults in `profiles/default/registry/` and corresponding Python schemas. |
| 85 | +- Keep the first settings small: slot duration, anonymous voting, booking confirmation, timezone defaults. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +### Permissions and Security |
| 88 | +- Respect Plone role-based permissions and workflow semantics. |
| 89 | +- Reuse built-in permissions where possible. |
| 90 | +- Add custom permissions only when the add-on needs distinct capabilities. |
| 91 | +- Be explicit about anonymous access for voting and booking. |
| 92 | +- Validate booking conflicts and poll state server-side, not only in the UI. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +### Internationalization |
| 95 | +- All user-facing strings must be translatable. |
| 96 | +- Use the package message factory from `experimental.doodle._`. |
| 97 | +- Keep the i18n domain as `experimental.doodle`. |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +## UI Rules |
| 100 | +- Build for Plone Classic UI first. |
| 101 | +- Use standard Plone page templates and macros. |
| 102 | +- Keep templates readable and thin. |
| 103 | +- Put interaction logic in views or forms. |
| 104 | +- Use `browser/static` for CSS or JavaScript only after the base UI works. |
| 105 | +- Avoid broad template overrides early; prefer explicit views for poll display, voting, results, and booking. |
| 106 | +- Keep the UI usable on desktop and mobile, but do not overengineer styling in the first milestone. |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +## Testing Rules |
| 109 | +- Use the existing Plone test layer in `src/experimental/doodle/testing.py`. |
| 110 | +- Add integration tests for every feature slice. |
| 111 | +- Keep the setup tests passing. |
| 112 | +- Add tests for at least these cases when relevant: |
| 113 | + - type registration |
| 114 | + - control panel registration |
| 115 | + - poll creation |
| 116 | + - vote submission |
| 117 | + - vote aggregation |
| 118 | + - booking submission |
| 119 | + - double-booking prevention |
| 120 | + - permission-sensitive behavior |
| 121 | +- Prefer narrow validation first, then broader checks. |
| 122 | +- Run the smallest relevant test or command after each substantive edit. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +## Local Workflow |
| 125 | +- Use `make install` to prepare the environment. |
| 126 | +- Use `make start` to run the local Plone instance. |
| 127 | +- Use `make create-site` to create or refresh the `Plone` site when needed. |
| 128 | +- Verify work in `http://localhost:8080/Plone` whenever a user-facing feature changes. |
| 129 | +- Use `make test` for focused validation and `make check` before concluding larger work. |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +## Code Quality Rules |
| 132 | +- Follow the Ruff and formatting configuration already in `pyproject.toml`. |
| 133 | +- Keep imports and formatting consistent with repo tooling. |
| 134 | +- Keep changes small, local, and reversible. |
| 135 | +- Do not add new dependencies without a clear Plone add-on need. |
| 136 | +- Do not create parallel architectures when the scaffold already provides the right extension point. |
| 137 | +- Do not leave partially wired GenericSetup or ZCML registrations behind. |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +## Documentation Rules |
| 140 | +- When editing `README.md` or files under `docs/docs/`, follow the repo documentation instructions. |
| 141 | +- Use `make install` and `make start` in developer-facing setup docs. |
| 142 | +- Do not recommend direct `pip install`, `uv add`, or `uv pip` in project docs. |
| 143 | +- Do not edit the generated Cookieplone attribution paragraph in `README.md`. |
| 144 | +- Keep docs aligned with the actual implemented feature set. |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +## What To Avoid |
| 147 | +- Do not treat this as a generic Flask or Django app. |
| 148 | +- Do not bypass GenericSetup with manual portal changes in code. |
| 149 | +- Do not store essential behavior only in templates or JavaScript. |
| 150 | +- Do not assume external calendar sync belongs in the MVP. |
| 151 | +- Do not add complex integrations before polls and booking pages work locally. |
| 152 | +- Do not widen the scope if the current slice can be completed and tested first. |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +## Recommended Delivery Order |
| 155 | +1. Validate install baseline and tests. |
| 156 | +2. Implement `Poll` type and schema. |
| 157 | +3. Implement poll add, display, vote, and results flows. |
| 158 | +4. Add poll tests. |
| 159 | +5. Implement `Booking Page` type and schema. |
| 160 | +6. Implement booking availability and conflict logic. |
| 161 | +7. Implement booking UI and tests. |
| 162 | +8. Add registry settings and control panel. |
| 163 | +9. Add targeted catalog indexing and listing views. |
| 164 | +10. Add refinements only after the core workflows are working. |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +## Output Expectations |
| 167 | +When you complete a task, report: |
| 168 | +- what changed |
| 169 | +- how the change fits the Plone add-on architecture |
| 170 | +- what validation you ran |
| 171 | +- what remains blocked or intentionally deferred |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +## Success Criteria |
| 174 | +Success means the add-on: |
| 175 | +- installs cleanly |
| 176 | +- works in `http://localhost:8080/Plone` |
| 177 | +- follows standard Plone add-on patterns |
| 178 | +- keeps GenericSetup, ZCML, tests, and UI in sync |
| 179 | +- remains simple enough for the next developer to extend safely |
