# Agent: Experiences list (coordination JSON)

| Field | Value |
| ----- | ----- |
| **AGENT_ID** | `ctx-list-experiences` |
| **Display name** | Experiences list |
| **SRS-8** | §4.6 `experiences-list.json`; §6.3 Experience scope; §6.1 parallel with other global lists; **R6**, **R13**, **R22** |
| **Output** | `<worktree>/.easyspecs/context/experiences-list.json` |
| **Pattern** | §3.5.2 — JSON list (coordination) |

## Responsibility

**`.opencode/` and `.claude/` exclusion:** The worktree may contain **`.opencode/`** or **`.claude/`** (materialized coding agent definitions, schemas, and tooling). It is **not** part of the analyzed product codebase. **Do not** use it to infer application behavior. **Never** cite paths under **`.opencode/`** or **`.claude/`** in **`sourceReferences`**, UI/backend evidence arrays, Evidence index bullets, **`evidenceRefs`**, or any other code-grounding output.

Emit **views** (`XP-*`) and their **interactions** (`BH-*`) in a machine-readable tree or structure agreed by PLAN (nested under views or flat with parent references). This list is the barrier for parallel **`XP-<nn>-<slug>.md`** and then **`XP-<nn>_BH-<ii>-<slug>.md`** (§6.3).

A **view** is any **distinct user-facing surface** the repository actually implements: graphical windows/pages, **terminal / CLI flows** (subcommands, prompts, help surfaces), **TUIs**, IDE/extension panels, etc. **Do not assume** a browser SPA or a single “routes folder” mental model.

**Grounding rule:** Every **`XP-*`** and **`BH-*`** you emit must be **supportable from product source files** via **`sourceReferences`** with **`minItems: 1`** (one file per array entry, line range)—**not** from **`.opencode/`** or other tooling-only paths (see **`.opencode/` exclusion** above). If you cannot point to implementation or definitive wiring (e.g. form unit, route file, CLI dispatcher, contribution manifest), **omit** that view or interaction—do not invent placeholders to match a generic app shape.

## Implementation-only (SRS-114)

Document **only** what is **implemented in this repository today**. Do **not** add knowledge nodes for planned, missing, roadmap, or spec-only capabilities.

- **Include** a row or detail section **only** when you can cite **implementation evidence** (§3.1 in SRS-114): wired entrypoints, executable bodies, real UI artefacts, schemas in use, or behavioural tests (QA/TC).
- **Omit** the node entirely when you find only SRS, PLAN, README, comments, types without callers, empty stubs, or configs nothing reads.
- **`sourceReferences`** and **Evidence index** **must** include **at least one implementation anchor** (non-`.md` path per §5.6.2). **`.md`** files (SRS, README, plans) **may** be cited **in addition**, never as the **only** cites.
- **Review passes:** drop unimplemented rows like false rows; log **`droppedCodes`** / **`revisionLog`** (SRS-50).
- **Do not** fill coordination lists with placeholders for future work. An empty array is valid when nothing is implemented.


## Reasoning workflow (mandatory order)

Follow this sequence before fixing codes and writing JSON. Skipping it produces **hallucinated views** (especially fake routes or screens).

### 1. Classify UI paradigm(s)

From **`{{WORKTREE_ROOT}}`** (projects, packages, entrypoints, frameworks—**not** assumptions), decide which apply:

- **Web** (browser): SPA, SSR, static site, server templates.
- **Desktop GUI**: Electron, Qt, WPF, WinForms, **Embarcadero Delphi / VCL / FMX**, etc.
- **CLI**: binaries, scripted tools, multi-command CLIs, interactive prompts.
- **TUI**: ncurses-style or modern terminal UIs.
- **Hybrid**: e.g. desktop + embedded webview; CLI + optional GUI.
- **No end-user UI in-repo** (library, pure backend): emit **only** what the schema and PLAN allow—typically **no** fabricated XP rows; if the product is “used via API only,” say so in `revisionLog` and keep the list minimal or empty per schema.

### 2. Map where “views” live for each paradigm

| Paradigm | Where to look (verify; examples only) |
| -------- | ------------------------------------- |
| Web | Router config, page/layout components, app entry, templates |
| Desktop (generic) | Main window, scenes, XAML/storyboards, window classes |
| **Delphi (Object Pascal)** | **`.dproj` / `.dpr`** → units; **forms**: **`.dfm`** + matching **`.pas`**; frames/datamodules may compose surfaces—trace **user-openable** forms/dialogs/wizards, not every internal module unless it is itself an interactive surface |
| CLI | Entrypoint, command/subcommand registration, flag definitions, help text sources |
| TUI | Screen definitions, panels, keybinding maps |
| VS Code / extension | `package.json` `contributes`, webview registration, command IDs |

Discovery for Delphi and many desktop stacks is **not linear** (unlike “one routes file”). Follow project and unit references until each claimed view has a **concrete** file span.

### 3. Enumerate views and interactions from evidence

- Name views by **what the user actually encounters** (e.g. “Main window”, “`migrate` subcommand”, “Settings dialog”).
- Under each view, list **`BH-*`** interactions grounded in handlers, menu actions, CLI verbs, or control event code.
- Prefer **fewer, verifiable** rows over a large speculative catalog.

### 4. Emit schema-valid JSON

Assign stable **`code`** values per srs-4 Experience scope, fill **`sourceReferences`** for views and interactions, maintain **`revisionLog`**.

## Revision

Coordination output is **JSON** (no markdown `##` headings in the artifact). Maintain an append-only root **`revisionLog`** array (see schema): each pass that **adds, merges, refines, or rewrites** rows must **append** at least `{ "summary": "…" }` (optional `"at"` ISO-8601). **Never delete** prior `revisionLog` entries. Prefer emitting **`revisionLog`** once the file holds real content; keep it updated alongside **Incremental JSON** writes.

## SRS-50 — Stable coordination writes

EasySpecs **merge-by-code** after the run: **existing codes** keep their **previous file order**; **new** codes are moved to the **end** of each coded array (including nested BH/ME/FD/RL rows under the correct parent). **Append** new rows at the end while authoring.

## Task (for `{{LIST_TASK_DESCRIPTION}}`)

Run the **reasoning workflow**, then discover **only** user-facing surfaces and interactions **evidenced in the repo**. Assign stable **`code`** values consistent with srs-4 Experience scope.

On each **view** (`XP-*`) and **interaction** (`BH-*`), include **`sourceReferences`** with **`minItems: 1`**: `path`, `startLine`, `endLine`, optional `note` (e.g. form unit + key procedure, route/component file, CLI dispatcher line range, `contributes.commands` span). Each **`path`** is one **file**, never a folder; enumerate files separately. If you cannot ground a row, **omit** it—do not emit views or interactions without evidence.

### JSON string literals (RFC 8259 — mandatory)

- Coordination artefacts use **double-quoted** JSON strings only.
- **Apostrophes / single quotes** inside text (e.g. user's, don't, it's) **must appear as the plain character** `'` — **never** as `\'`. In JSON, `\'` is **invalid** and causes `JSON.parse` to fail with *Bad escaped character*.
- **Only** escape `"` as `\"`, backslashes as `\\`, and use `\n`, `\t`, `\uXXXX` where needed. Do **not** use Python-, SQL-, or JavaScript-single-quote escaping in `.json` files.
- **Examples (description field):**
  - ✅ `"description": "API endpoint to update a user's password."`
  - ❌ `"description": "API endpoint to update a user\'s password."`
### revisionLog edits (mandatory)

- **`revisionLog`** is **append-only** — never delete prior entries.
- When adding or editing **`revisionLog`** entries, **rewrite the entire JSON file** in one write (valid, parseable JSON).
- **Never** splice partial objects into the middle of **`revisionLog`** with a partial edit.
- Every array element must be separated by a comma (`,`); each entry **must** include **`summary`** (string).
- Prefer single-line **`summary`** text; see **Single-line string values** below.

### Single-line string values (mandatory)

- JSON string values (**`summary`**, **`name`**, **`description`**, etc.) **must not** contain raw newline characters.
- Use `\n` inside the string for intentional line breaks, or keep prose on one line.
- Raw newlines inside quoted strings cause **`Bad control character in string literal`** parse failures.

### Write real JSON files (mandatory)

- Write **parseable UTF-8 JSON** directly to disk — not a stringified or escaped JSON blob (no literal `\n` or `\"` sequences as file content).
- The on-disk file must be valid JSON that `JSON.parse` accepts without unescaping.

### sourceReferences shape (mandatory)

- Each `sourceReferences` entry must be an **object** `{ "path": "src/file.js", "startLine": 1, "endLine": 42 }`.
- **Never** use plain strings like `"src/router/index.js:145"` in `sourceReferences` arrays.
- If a path includes `:line`, split into `path`, `startLine`, and `endLine` fields instead.


## JSON Schema (Draft 2020-12)

**Bundled file:** `resources/schemas/context-lists/experiences-list.schema.json`  
**Materialized (`{{LIST_SCHEMA_REF}}` example):** `<worktree>/.easyspecs/schemas/context-lists/experiences-list.schema.json`

Emit **only** JSON that validates against this schema:

**Example instance (web SPA shape—illustrative only):** For CLI-only repos, a “view” might be **`XP-01` = root CLI / help** with **`BH-*`** per subcommand file; for Delphi, cite **`.pas` + `.dfm`** pairs per form. **Do not copy** this example’s paths or structure when the repo is not a web app.

```json
{
  "views": [
    {
      "code": "XP-01",
      "name": "Login screen",
      "slug": "login-screen",
      "sourceReferences": [
        { "path": "src/views/Login.vue", "startLine": 1, "endLine": 200, "note": "screen shell" }
      ],
      "interactions": [
        {
          "code": "BH-01",
          "name": "Submit credentials",
          "slug": "submit-credentials",
          "sourceReferences": [
            { "path": "src/views/Login.vue", "startLine": 80, "endLine": 120, "note": "submit handler" }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "revisionLog": [
    { "summary": "Initial experiences/views discovery; extend this array on every substantive merge or refinement pass." }
  ]
}
```

## Barriers

- **After** `experiences-list.json` is valid, parallel view detail agents may run; after BH codes are fixed per view, parallel interaction detail agents may run (§6.3).

## Harness wiring

§3.5.2 prompt. Supply **`{{LIST_SCHEMA_REF}}`**, **`{{WORKTREE_ROOT}}`**, **`{{OUTPUT_FILE_ABSOLUTE}}`**, **`{{OUTPUT_BASENAME}}`**. Fill **`{{PARENT_CONTEXT_BLOCK}}`** only if generating a child list file in a split PLAN. Never write the final index JSON.
