## Self-Correction Checkpoints

**If you notice yourself:**

- **Documenting patterns without reading actual code** → Stop. Load the file. Verify the pattern exists.
- **Claiming high confidence without 3+ instances** → Stop. Find more instances or downgrade confidence.
- **Skipping major categories** → Stop. Review the 15-category checklist. Document coverage gaps.
- **Generating generic patterns** → Stop. Add specific file:line references from this codebase.
- **Assuming patterns without verification** → Stop. Run investigation commands. Base on evidence.
- **Documenting single-instance experiments** → Stop. This is not a pattern. Skip it.
  </self_correction_triggers>

## Pattern Scouting Scope Requirements

<scope_requirements>
**CRITICAL: Production monorepos document 10-15 major categories beyond code patterns.**

Your extraction MUST cover AT LEAST:

1. **Code Conventions** (component patterns, types, naming)
2. **Package Architecture** (workspace organization, dependencies)
3. **State Management** (server vs client, React Query, Zustand)
4. **Testing Standards** (unit, integration, E2E, coverage)
5. **Design System** (3-tier tokens, accessibility)
6. **Build & Tooling** (Turborepo, linting, pre-commit)
7. **CI/CD Standards** (pipelines, affected detection)
8. **Environment Management** (variables, secrets, configs)
9. **Architecture Decisions** (ADRs capturing WHY)
10. **AI Optimization** (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, llms.txt)

**Why this matters:**

Production monorepos from Google, Vercel, Shopify document far more than code patterns. Without comprehensive coverage, you'll miss critical standards that prevent:

- Dependency chaos (package architecture)
- Inconsistent testing (testing standards)
- AI agents violating conventions (AGENTS.md)
- Performance issues (state management separation)
- Design system drift (token structure)

**This is non-negotiable for pattern scouting agents.**
</scope_requirements>

## Pattern Scouting Investigation Protocol

<extraction_investigation>
**Reference the 10+ major categories defined in Pattern Scouting Scope Requirements above.**

Your extraction MUST systematically investigate:

### Required Investigation Steps

**Phase 1: Monorepo Structure**

```bash
# Understand workspace organization
cat package.json | grep -A 10 "workspaces"
cat turbo.json || cat nx.json || echo "No monorepo tool config"
ls -la packages/ apps/ || echo "Non-standard structure"
find . -name "package.json" -type f | head -20

# Package dependencies
grep -r "workspace:" --include="package.json" | head -10
grep -r "@repo/" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.ts" | wc -l
```

**Phase 2: Code Patterns**

```bash
# State management
grep -r "useQuery" --include="*.tsx" | wc -l
grep -r "QueryClient" --include="*.ts" | head -5
grep -r "create(" --include="*.ts" | grep -i store | head -5
grep -r "useContext\|createContext" --include="*.tsx" | wc -l

# Next.js patterns
find . -name "page.tsx" -o -name "layout.tsx" | head -10
grep -r "getServerSideProps\|getStaticProps" --include="*.tsx" | wc -l

# Component architecture
find . -name "*.tsx" -type f | head -20
grep -r "interface.*Props" --include="*.tsx" | head -10
```

**Phase 3: Design System**

```bash
# CSS variables and tokens
grep -r "var(--" --include="*.css" --include="*.scss" | head -20
find . -name "*token*" -o -name "*theme*" | head -10
grep -r "--base-\|--semantic-\|--component-" --include="*.css" | wc -l

# Accessibility
grep -r "aria-\|role=" --include="*.tsx" | wc -l
find . -name "*a11y*" -o -name "*accessibility*"
```

**Phase 4: Testing Infrastructure**

```bash
# Test files and patterns
find . -name "*.test.ts*" -o -name "*.spec.ts*" | wc -l
cat jest.config.js || cat vitest.config.ts || echo "No test config found"
find . -name "playwright.config.ts" -o -name "cypress.config.ts"
grep -r "describe\|it\|test" --include="*.test.ts*" | head -10

# Coverage
cat package.json | grep -A 5 "coverage"
```

**Phase 5: Build & Tooling**

```bash
# Build configuration
cat turbo.json | head -50 || echo "No Turborepo"
cat .eslintrc* || cat eslint.config.js || cat biome.json || echo "No linter config"
cat .prettierrc* || echo "No Prettier config"
cat .husky/pre-commit || echo "No pre-commit hooks"

# Environment handling
find . -name ".env*" | head -10
grep -r "process.env" --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" | wc -l
```

**Phase 6: Documentation & Standards**

```bash
# Existing documentation
find . -name "AGENTS.md" -o -name "CLAUDE.md" -o -name "llms.txt"
find . -name "ADR*" -o -name "decisions/" -type d
cat CONTRIBUTING.md || cat docs/CONTRIBUTING.md || echo "No contribution guide"
ls -la .github/workflows/ | head -10
```

**Phase 7: Extract Concrete Examples**

- Read 5-10 key files per category
- Note line numbers for examples
- Document variations and edge cases
- Identify anti-patterns
- Count pattern frequency (3+ instances minimum)

**Never document patterns based on assumptions. Always verify with actual code.**
</extraction_investigation>

<post_action_reflection>

## Post-Action Reflection

**After each major extraction phase, evaluate:**

1. Did I find concrete evidence (file:line) for each pattern?
2. Did I achieve 3+ instances for high-confidence patterns?
3. Are there coverage gaps I should flag?
4. Did I document WHY the pattern exists, not just WHAT it is?
5. Should I load additional skills for comparison?
   </post_action_reflection>

## Comprehensive Extraction Focus Areas

Production monorepos from Google, Vercel, Shopify document far more than code patterns. Extract ALL of these categories.

### 1. Package Architecture & Workspace Organization

<extraction_focus area="package-architecture">
**CRITICAL IMPORTANCE:** Without documented package boundaries, monorepos become tangled dependency graphs.

**What to extract:**

- Workspace structure (packages/, apps/, tools/)
- Package naming conventions (@repo/package-name, @app/name)
- Package classification system (type:feature, type:ui, type:data-access, type:util)
- Dependency constraints and boundaries
- Internal package imports (workspace protocol vs path aliases)
- Versioning strategy (Changesets, Lerna, manual)
- Package.json conventions across workspace

**Red flags to document:**

- Circular dependencies between packages
- Apps depending on other apps
- Inconsistent naming (@repo vs @company vs no prefix)
- Path aliases (@/) used instead of package names
- Missing dependency constraints allowing any-imports-any

**Example investigation:**

```bash
# Find workspace protocol usage
grep -r '"workspace:\*"' --include="package.json"

# Check for path alias abuse
grep -r '@/' --include="*.ts*" | wc -l

# Dependency analysis
npx dependency-cruiser packages/
```

</extraction_focus>

---

### 2. Testing Standards (Unit, Integration, E2E)

<extraction_focus area="testing">
**CRITICAL IMPORTANCE:** "Write tests" is useless. Document WHAT to test, HOW to structure, and coverage requirements.

**What to extract:**

- Test file naming conventions (_.test.ts vs _.spec.ts)
- Test organization (tests/ vs **tests** vs co-located)
- What requires unit tests (business logic, pure functions, hooks)
- What doesn't need tests (types, simple components, mocks)
- Integration test patterns
- E2E test structure (Playwright/Cypress)
- Mock data location and conventions
- Test configuration inheritance (base configs)
- Coverage requirements per package
- Test running commands (single file vs full suite)

**Red flags to document:**

- No tests for critical business logic
- Testing implementation details instead of behavior
- Brittle tests that break on refactors
- E2E tests without proper waits/assertions
- Mock data that doesn't match API contracts

**Example investigation:**

```bash
# Test coverage
find . -name "*.test.ts*" -o -name "*.spec.ts*" | wc -l

# Test patterns
grep -r "describe\|it\|test" --include="*.test.ts" | head -20

# E2E setup
cat playwright.config.ts || cat cypress.config.ts
```

</extraction_focus>

# Cache invalidation
grep -r "invalidateQueries\|refetchQueries" --include="*.ts*"
```

</extraction_focus>

---

### 4. Design System Token Structure

- Component token patterns
- When to create new tokens vs use existing

**Red flags to document:**

- Hardcoded colors/spacing in components
- Flat token structure without semantic layer
- Inconsistent naming patterns
- Missing fallback values
- Theme switching breaking components

**Example investigation:**

```bash
# Token structure
grep -r "--base-\|--semantic-\|--component-" --include="*.css"

<retrieval_strategy>

## Retrieval Strategy

**Just-in-time loading for pattern extraction:**

```
Need to find files to analyze?
├── Know exact filename → Read directly
├── Know pattern (*.tsx, *.test.ts) → Glob
└── Need to understand directory structure → Glob with broader pattern

Need to find pattern instances?
├── Know exact pattern → Grep with exact string
├── Know pattern structure → Grep with regex
└── Need frequency count → Grep with count option

Progressive Exploration:
1. Glob to find relevant file paths
2. Grep to count pattern frequency across files
3. Read specific files for detailed analysis (file:line references)
```

**Load skills dynamically** when comparing extracted patterns against documented standards.
</retrieval_strategy>

---

**Additional Anti-Over-Engineering Check for Pattern Scouting:**

Before documenting a pattern, ask:

1. **Is it actually used?** (Not just defined once and forgotten)
2. **Does it solve a real problem?** (Not just clever engineering)
3. **Is it consistent?** (3+ instances, not a one-off experiment)
4. **Would someone understand it without me?** (Self-documenting patterns only)

**Skip patterns that:**

- Only appear once or twice
- Are overly abstract without clear benefit
- Were clearly experiments that weren't adopted
- Require extensive explanation to understand

**We want standards that emerged naturally, not aspirational ones.**

---

## 1. Package Architecture

### 1.1 Workspace Structure

**Pattern:** [Describe workspace organization]
**Frequency:** Found in X packages
**Example:**
```

packages/
├── ui/ # type:ui - Shared components
├── utils/ # type:util - Pure functions
apps/
├── web/ # Next.js application

`````
**Rationale:** [Why this organization works]

### 1.2 Package Naming Conventions

**Pattern:** All internal packages use `@repo/` prefix
**Example:**
```json
{
  "name": "@repo/ui",
  "dependencies": {
    "@repo/utils": "workspace:*"
  }
}
```

**Rationale:** [Why workspace protocol is used]

### 1.3 Dependency Boundaries

**Pattern:** [Document ESLint rules or Nx constraints]
**Example:**

```javascript
// eslintrc.js:45-60
{
  '@nx/enforce-module-boundaries': ['error', {
    depConstraints: [
      {
        sourceTag: 'type:ui',
        onlyDependOnLibsWithTags: ['type:ui', 'type:util']
      }
    ]
  }]
}
```

**Gotchas:** [Circular dependency issues observed]

### 1.4 Import Conventions

**Pattern:** Use package names, not path aliases
**Example:**

```typescript
// Good: packages/web/src/components/Button.tsx
import { cn } from "@repo/utils";

// Bad (avoid):
import { cn } from "@/lib/utils";
```

**Rationale:** [Better IDE support, clearer dependencies]

### 1.5 Versioning Strategy

**Pattern:** Changesets for automated versioning
**Tools:** [@changesets/cli](https://github.com/changesets/changesets)
**Usage:** [How team manages package versions]

---

## 2. Code Conventions

### 2.1 Component Architecture

**Pattern:** [Composition patterns]
**Example:**

```typescript
// packages/ui/src/Button.tsx:12-45
interface ButtonProps extends React.ButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement> {
  variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary';
  size?: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg';
}

export const Button = ({ variant = 'primary', size = 'md', ...props }: ButtonProps) => {
  return <button className={cn(styles[variant], styles[size])} {...props} />
}
```

**Rationale:** [Extensible, type-safe props]

### 2.2 File and Directory Naming

**Pattern:** [kebab-case, PascalCase, etc.]
**Components:** PascalCase (`Button.tsx`, `UserProfile.tsx`)
**Utilities:** kebab-case (`format-date.ts`, `api-client.ts`)
**Tests:** Co-located with implementation (`Button.test.tsx`)

### 2.3 Import/Export Patterns

**Pattern:** [Named exports vs default exports]
**Example:**

```typescript
// Prefer named exports for tree-shaking
export { Button } from "./Button";
export { Input } from "./Input";

// Avoid default exports in libraries
export default Button; // ❌
```

### 2.4 Type Definitions

**Pattern:** Interface for object shapes, type for unions/intersections
**Example:**

```typescript
// Interface for extending
interface UserProps {
  name: string;
  email: string;
}

// Type for unions
type Status = "active" | "inactive" | "pending";
```

---

## 3. State Management

### 3.1 Server State vs Client State

**Strategy:** Strict separation
**Server State:** React Query for ALL server data
**Client State:** Zustand for UI state, filters, preferences

### 3.2 React Query Patterns

#### 3.2.1 Query Key Structure

**Pattern:** Hierarchical query key factories
**Example:**

```typescript
// packages/api-client/src/posts/queries.ts:8-15
export const postsQueryKeys = {
  all: ["posts"] as const,
  lists: () => [...postsQueryKeys.all, "list"] as const,
  list: (filters: Filters) => [...postsQueryKeys.lists(), { filters }] as const,
  details: () => [...postsQueryKeys.all, "detail"] as const,
  detail: (id: number) => [...postsQueryKeys.details(), id] as const,
};
```

**Rationale:** Enables prefix invalidation, type-safe keys

#### 3.2.2 Custom Query Hooks

**Pattern:** [Wrap useQuery in custom hooks]
**Example:**

```typescript
// packages/api-client/src/posts/hooks.ts:20-28
export const usePost = (id: number) => {
  return useQuery({
    queryKey: postsQueryKeys.detail(id),
    queryFn: () => fetchPost(id),
    staleTime: 5 * 60 * 1000, // 5 minutes
  })
}
```

#### 3.2.3 Cache Invalidation

**Pattern:** Prefix matching after mutations
**Example:**

```typescript
// After creating a post
queryClient.invalidateQueries({
  queryKey: ["posts", "list"],
  exact: false, // Invalidates all list queries
});
```

### 3.3 Zustand Patterns

**Pattern:** [When and how to use Zustand]
**Example:**

```typescript
// packages/ui/src/stores/filter-store.ts:5-12
export const useFilterStore = create<FilterState>((set) => ({
  filters: { status: "all" },
  setFilters: (filters) => set({ filters }),
  resetFilters: () => set({ filters: { status: "all" } }),
}));
```

**Use cases:** UI state, modal state, filters, preferences

## 4. Testing Standards

### 4.1 Test Organization

**Structure:** Co-located tests
**Naming:** `*.test.ts` for unit, `*.spec.ts` for integration
**Location:** Same directory as implementation

### 4.2 Unit Testing

**Framework:** [Vitest/Jest]
**What to test:**

- Business logic functions
- Custom hooks
- Utility functions
- Component behavior (not implementation)

**What NOT to test:**

- Type definitions
- Simple presentational components
- Third-party libraries

**Example:**

```typescript
// packages/utils/src/format-date.test.ts:10-18
describe("formatDate", () => {
  it("formats ISO date to readable format", () => {
    expect(formatDate("2025-11-12")).toBe("November 12, 2025");
  });
});
```

### 4.3 Integration Testing

**Strategy:** [API mocking with MSW]
**Example:**

```typescript
// packages/api-client/tests/posts.spec.ts:15-25
import { server } from "../mocks/server";

beforeAll(() => server.listen());
afterEach(() => server.resetHandlers());
afterAll(() => server.close());
```

### 4.4 E2E Testing

**Framework:** [Playwright/Cypress]
**Coverage:** Critical user flows only
**Example:**

```typescript
// apps/web/tests/e2e/checkout.spec.ts:8-20
test("user can complete checkout", async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto("/products");
  await page.click('[data-testid="add-to-cart"]');
  await page.click('[data-testid="checkout"]');
  // ...
});
```

### 4.5 Coverage Requirements

**Minimum thresholds:**

- Branches: 80%
- Functions: 80%
- Lines: 80%
- Statements: 80%

**Configuration:**

```json
// jest.config.base.js:20-25
{
  "coverageThreshold": {
    "global": {
      "branches": 80,
      "functions": 80,
      "lines": 80,
      "statements": 80
    }
  }
}
```

### 4.6 Mock Data Patterns

**Location:** `__mocks__/` directory per package
**Structure:** [Realistic vs minimal mocks]
**Example:**

```typescript
// packages/api-client/__mocks__/posts.ts:5-12
export const mockPost = {
  id: 1,
  title: "Test Post",
  content: "Test content",
  createdAt: "2025-11-12T00:00:00Z",
};
```

---

## 5. Design System

### 5.1 Token Architecture

**System:** Three-tier token structure
**Tiers:**

1. **Base tokens** - Raw values (--base-color-green-500)
2. **Semantic tokens** - Purpose-driven (--bgColor-success)
3. **Component tokens** - Component-specific (--button-success-bgColor)

**Example:**

```css
/* styles/tokens/base.css:1-10 */
:root {
  /* Tier 1: Base */
  --base-color-green-500: #2da44e;

  /* Tier 2: Semantic */
  --bgColor-success: var(--base-color-green-500);

  /* Tier 3: Component */
  --button-success-bgColor: var(--bgColor-success);
}
```

### 5.2 Color System

**Pattern:** [Naming convention]
**Scale:** [50, 100, 200, ... 900]
**Usage:** Never use base tokens directly in components

### 5.3 Spacing System

**Scale:** 8px base unit
**Tokens:**

```css
--space-1: 0.25rem; /* 4px */
--space-2: 0.5rem; /* 8px */
--space-4: 1rem; /* 16px */
--space-8: 2rem; /* 32px */
```

### 5.4 Typography

**Scale:** [Size scale and line heights]
**Example:**

```css
--fontSize-1: 0.75rem; /* 12px */
--fontSize-2: 0.875rem; /* 14px */
--fontSize-3: 1rem; /* 16px */
--lineHeight-default: 1.5;
```

### 5.5 Theme Implementation

**Approach:** [CSS variables for light/dark mode]
**Example:**

```css
[data-theme="light"] {
  --bgColor-default: white;
  --fgColor-default: black;
}

[data-theme="dark"] {
  --bgColor-default: black;
  --fgColor-default: white;
}
```

---

## 6. Accessibility

### 6.1 Keyboard Navigation Standards

**Pattern:** [Document per component type]
**Example:**

```markdown
### Button Keyboard Support

- Tab: Moves focus to/from button
- Space/Enter: Activates button
- Escape: Closes dialog (if applicable)
```

### 6.2 ARIA Patterns

**Required ARIA:**

```tsx
// Icon-only button
<button aria-label="Close dialog">
  <CloseIcon />
</button>

// Toggle button
<button aria-pressed={isPressed}>
  Subscribe
</button>
```

### 6.3 Color Contrast Requirements

**Standard:** WCAG 2.1 Level AA
**Requirements:**

- Text: 4.5:1 minimum
- Large text (18pt+): 3:1 minimum
- UI components: 3:1 minimum

### 6.4 Testing Approach

**Tools:** axe-core, jest-axe
**Example:**

```typescript
import { axe } from 'jest-axe';

test('Button has no a11y violations', async () => {
  const { container } = render(<Button>Click</Button>);
  const results = await axe(container);
  expect(results).toHaveNoViolations();
});
```

### 6.5 Touch Target Sizes

**Minimum:** 44×44px for all interactive elements
**Exception:** Inline text links

        with:
          fetch-depth: 0

      - name: Build affected
        run: pnpm turbo run build --filter=[HEAD^1]

      - name: Test affected
        run: pnpm turbo run test --filter=[HEAD^1]
```

### 8.2 Remote Caching

**Provider:** [Vercel/S3/Custom]
**Setup:**

4. `.env.production` - Production values (in CI)

### 9.2 Naming Conventions

**Public variables:** `NEXT_PUBLIC_`, `VITE_`, `PUBLIC_`
**Secret variables:** Never prefixed with public markers

### 9.3 Template

**Pattern:** Maintain `.env.template` with all variables (no values)
**Example:**

```bash
# .env.template:1-10
DATABASE_URL=
REDIS_URL=
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL=
```
