⚠️ PRE-GENERATION CHECKLIST (MANDATORY)

Before creating ANY UI component, complete this checklist:

PRE_GENERATION_CHECKLIST:
  1. READ_DESIGN_SYSTEM:
     - [ ] Read /DESIGN-SYSTEM.md for forbidden patterns
     - [ ] Check /src/app/globals.css @theme block for tokens
     - [ ] Note: accent-500 = #ff6b35 (orange)

  2. CHECK_EXISTING_COMPONENTS:
     - [ ] Look in /src/components/ui/ first (48 components)
     - [ ] Check components.json for shadcn configuration
     - [ ] Review existing patterns in landing page

  3. REFERENCE_UI_LIBRARIES:
     - [ ] See /docs/UI-LIBRARY-INDEX.md for premium components
     - [ ] Priority: Project → StyleUI/KokonutUI/Cult UI → shadcn base
     - [ ] NEVER use shadcn defaults without customization

  4. VERIFY_NO_FORBIDDEN_PATTERNS:
     - [ ] No bg-white, text-gray-600, or generic hover states
     - [ ] No uniform grid-cols-3 gap-4 layouts
     - [ ] No unstyled <Card className="p-6">
     - [ ] No icons without brand colors

FORBIDDEN CODE PATTERNS:

// ❌ NEVER GENERATE THESE
className="bg-white rounded-lg shadow p-4"     // Generic card
className="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4"              // Uniform grid
className="text-gray-600"                        // Default muted
className="hover:bg-gray-100"                    // Generic hover
<Card className="p-6">                           // Unstyled shadcn

REQUIRED PATTERNS:

// ✅ ALWAYS USE DESIGN TOKENS
className="bg-bg-card border border-border-base hover:border-accent-500"
className="text-text-primary"
className="text-text-secondary"
className="bg-accent-500 hover:bg-accent-400"

Overview

The Frontend Agent is responsible for all UI/UX work in the Unite-Hub Next.js application:

1. React 19 / Next.js 16 development with App Router
2. shadcn/ui component implementation and customization
3. Tailwind CSS styling and responsive design
4. Route creation and breadcrumb setup
5. Client-side state management (React Context, hooks)
6. Accessibility and performance optimization

How to Use This Agent

Trigger

User says: "Fix dashboard layout", "Add new contact page", "Update navigation", "Create modal component"

What the Agent Does

1. Understand the Request

Questions to Ask:

• Which page/component needs work?
• What's the desired behavior?
• Are there design references (screenshots, wireframes)?
• What's the priority (P0/P1/P2)?

2. Analyze Current Implementation

Step A: Locate Files

# Find the component or page
find src/app -name "*.tsx" | grep -i "contacts"
find src/components -name "*.tsx" | grep -i "hotleads"

Step B: Read Current Code

// Use text_editor tool
text_editor.view("src/app/dashboard/contacts/page.tsx")

Step C: Identify Dependencies

• What shadcn/ui components are used?
• What contexts are consumed (AuthContext, etc.)?
• What API routes are called?
• What database queries are made?

3. Implement Changes

Step A: Component Updates

For existing components:

// src/components/HotLeadsPanel.tsx
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button";
import { Card } from "@/components/ui/card";
import { useAuth } from "@/contexts/AuthContext";

export function HotLeadsPanel({ workspaceId }: { workspaceId: string }) {
  const { currentOrganization } = useAuth();

  // Fetch hot leads
  const [leads, setLeads] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    async function fetchLeads() {
      const res = await fetch("/api/agents/contact-intelligence", {
        method: "POST",
        body: JSON.stringify({ action: "get_hot_leads", workspaceId }),
      });
      const data = await res.json();
      setLeads(data.leads || []);
    }
    if (workspaceId) fetchLeads();
  }, [workspaceId]);

  return (
    <Card>
      {/* UI implementation */}
    </Card>
  );
}

Step B: Route Creation

For new pages:

// src/app/dashboard/new-page/page.tsx
import { Metadata } from "next";

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: "New Page | Unite Hub",
  description: "Description of new page"
};

export default async function NewPage() {
  return (
    <div className="container mx-auto py-8">
      <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold">New Page</h1>
      {/* Content */}
    </div>
  );
}

Step C: shadcn/ui Components

Install new components if needed:

npx shadcn@latest add dialog
npx shadcn@latest add dropdown-menu
npx shadcn@latest add toast

Use components following shadcn patterns:

import {
  Dialog,
  DialogContent,
  DialogDescription,
  DialogHeader,
  DialogTitle,
  DialogTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/dialog";

<Dialog>
  <DialogTrigger asChild>
    <Button>Open Dialog</Button>
  </DialogTrigger>
  <DialogContent>
    <DialogHeader>
      <DialogTitle>Title</DialogTitle>
      <DialogDescription>Description</DialogDescription>
    </DialogHeader>
    {/* Content */}
  </DialogContent>
</Dialog>

4. Add Workspace Filtering (CRITICAL for V1)

All database queries MUST filter by workspace:

// ❌ BAD - Shows data from all workspaces
const { data: contacts } = await supabase
  .from("contacts")
  .select("*");

// ✅ GOOD - Only shows data from user's workspace
const { data: contacts } = await supabase
  .from("contacts")
  .select("*")
  .eq("workspace_id", workspaceId);

Required for these tables:

• contacts - .eq("workspace_id", workspaceId)
• campaigns - .eq("workspace_id", workspaceId)
• drip_campaigns - .eq("workspace_id", workspaceId)
• emails - .eq("workspace_id", workspaceId)
• generatedContent - .eq("workspace_id", workspaceId)

5. Handle Loading and Error States

Loading State:

const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(true);
const [error, setError] = useState<string | null>(null);

useEffect(() => {
  async function fetchData() {
    try {
      setIsLoading(true);
      const data = await fetch("...");
      setData(data);
    } catch (err) {
      setError(err.message);
    } finally {
      setIsLoading(false);
    }
  }
  fetchData();
}, []);

if (isLoading) return <Spinner />;
if (error) return <ErrorBanner message={error} />;
return <DataDisplay data={data} />;

6. Responsive Design

Tailwind Breakpoints:

<div className="
  grid grid-cols-1        // Mobile: 1 column
  md:grid-cols-2          // Tablet: 2 columns
  lg:grid-cols-3          // Desktop: 3 columns
  gap-4
">
  {/* Cards */}
</div>

Mobile-First Approach:

• Start with mobile layout (default classes)
• Add md: classes for tablet
• Add lg: and xl: for desktop

7. Test Changes

Step A: Visual Testing

# Start dev server
npm run dev

# Navigate to page in browser
# Test on mobile viewport (DevTools)
# Test dark theme

Step B: Accessibility

// Check for:
// - Proper ARIA labels
// - Keyboard navigation
// - Focus states
// - Screen reader support

<button aria-label="Close dialog">×</button>
<input aria-describedby="email-help" />
<div role="alert" aria-live="polite">{error}</div>

Step C: Performance

// Use React.memo for expensive components
import { memo } from "react";

export const ExpensiveComponent = memo(function ExpensiveComponent({ data }) {
  return <div>{/* Render */}</div>;
});

// Use dynamic imports for heavy components
import dynamic from "next/dynamic";

const HeavyChart = dynamic(() => import("@/components/HeavyChart"), {
  loading: () => <Spinner />,
  ssr: false
});

Common Tasks

Task 1: Fix Missing Workspace Filter

Example: Dashboard Overview page showing all contacts

Steps:

1. Read src/app/dashboard/overview/page.tsx
2. Find all Supabase queries
3. Add .eq("workspace_id", workspaceId) to each
4. Add null check for workspaceId before querying
5. Test with multiple workspaces

Code:

// Before
const { data: contacts } = await supabase.from("contacts").select("*");

// After
if (!workspaceId) {
  return <div>No workspace selected</div>;
}

const { data: contacts, error } = await supabase
  .from("contacts")
  .select("*")
  .eq("workspace_id", workspaceId);

if (error) {
  console.error("Error fetching contacts:", error);
  return <ErrorBanner />;
}

Task 2: Create New Dashboard Page

Example: Add "Analytics" page to dashboard

Steps:

1. Create src/app/dashboard/analytics/page.tsx
2. Add to navigation in src/app/dashboard/layout.tsx
3. Implement page content with shadcn/ui components
4. Add breadcrumbs
5. Test navigation

Code:

// src/app/dashboard/analytics/page.tsx
import { Metadata } from "next";
import { Card } from "@/components/ui/card";

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: "Analytics | Unite Hub",
};

export default async function AnalyticsPage() {
  return (
    <div className="container mx-auto py-8 space-y-6">
      <div>
        <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold">Analytics</h1>
        <p className="text-muted-foreground">Track your campaign performance</p>
      </div>

      <div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-3 gap-6">
        <Card>
          {/* Stat card 1 */}
        </Card>
        <Card>
          {/* Stat card 2 */}
        </Card>
        <Card>
          {/* Stat card 3 */}
        </Card>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

// src/app/dashboard/layout.tsx - Add to navigation
const navigation = [
  { name: "Dashboard", href: "/dashboard/overview", icon: HomeIcon },
  { name: "Contacts", href: "/dashboard/contacts", icon: UsersIcon },
  { name: "Campaigns", href: "/dashboard/campaigns", icon: MailIcon },
  { name: "Analytics", href: "/dashboard/analytics", icon: ChartIcon }, // NEW
];

Task 3: Implement Button Functionality

Example: Hot Leads panel "Send Email" button

Steps:

1. Read src/components/HotLeadsPanel.tsx
2. Find button location
3. Implement onClick handler
4. Call appropriate API endpoint
5. Show success/error toast

Code:

import { useToast } from "@/components/ui/use-toast";

function HotLeadsPanel() {
  const { toast } = useToast();

  async function handleSendEmail(contactId: string) {
    try {
      const res = await fetch("/api/emails/send", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
        body: JSON.stringify({ contactId, templateType: "followup" }),
      });

      if (!res.ok) throw new Error("Failed to send email");

      toast({
        title: "Email sent",
        description: "Your email has been queued for sending.",
      });
    } catch (error) {
      toast({
        variant: "destructive",
        title: "Error",
        description: error.message,
      });
    }
  }

  return (
    <Button onClick={() => handleSendEmail(contact.id)}>
      Send Email
    </Button>
  );
}

Styling Guidelines

Tailwind CSS Best Practices

Use Utility Classes:

// ✅ Good
<div className="flex items-center justify-between p-4 bg-background border rounded-lg">

// ❌ Bad (custom CSS)
<div style={{ display: "flex", padding: "16px" }}>

Use CSS Variables from Theme:

// Defined in globals.css
@layer base {
  :root {
    --background: 0 0% 100%;
    --foreground: 222.2 84% 4.9%;
    --card: 0 0% 100%;
    --primary: 222.2 47.4% 11.2%;
  }
}

// Use in components
<div className="bg-background text-foreground">
<div className="bg-card text-card-foreground">
<div className="bg-primary text-primary-foreground">

Responsive Design:

<div className="
  text-sm md:text-base lg:text-lg
  p-2 md:p-4 lg:p-6
  grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3
">

Error Handling Patterns

API Errors

try {
  const res = await fetch("/api/...");
  const data = await res.json();

  if (!res.ok) {
    throw new Error(data.error || "Something went wrong");
  }

  return data;
} catch (error) {
  console.error("API Error:", error);
  toast({
    variant: "destructive",
    title: "Error",
    description: error.message,
  });
  return null;
}

Supabase Errors

const { data, error } = await supabase.from("contacts").select("*");

if (error) {
  console.error("Supabase error:", error);
  return <ErrorBanner message="Failed to load contacts" />;
}

if (!data || data.length === 0) {
  return <EmptyState message="No contacts found" />;
}

return <ContactsList contacts={data} />;

Version 1 Constraints

What We Fix for V1:

• ✅ Workspace filtering on ALL pages
• ✅ Hot Leads button functionality
