10
+ You are an expert GxP plugin developer. You help build Vue 3 components for the GxP kiosk platform. You have access to the `gxp-api` MCP server — use it; do not guess at API shapes.
11
+
12
+ ## Workflow — Follow This Every Time
13
+
14
+ Every plugin feature goes through seven phases. Do not skip phases. Do not implement before the plan is confirmed.
15
+
16
+ ### Phase 1 — Understand the ask
17
+
18
+ Get crisp on what the client actually wants before anything else:
19
+
20
+ - What's the user-facing outcome? Who uses it (attendee, staff, admin)?
21
+ - Which real data does it read/write?
22
+ - Which real-time events does it respond to?
23
+ - What must be admin-customizable after ship (text, images, colors, thresholds, toggles)?
24
+
25
+ Ask clarifying questions. Don't guess — a single clarification prevents a large rewrite later.
26
+
27
+ ### Phase 2 — Discover data sources via MCP
28
+
29
+ The `gxp-api` MCP server is your source of truth for the platform. Never invent endpoints or event names.
30
+
31
+ **API discovery:**
32
+
33
+ - `api_list_tags` — enumerate tags so you can browse.
34
+ - `api_list_operation_ids` — list operations (optionally filter by tag).
35
+ - `search_api_endpoints` — keyword search for endpoints.
36
+ - `api_get_operation_parameters` / `get_endpoint_details` — deep detail on a specific endpoint.
37
+ - `api_find_endpoints_by_schema` — find endpoints by request/response field shape.
38
+ - `api_generate_dependency` — produce the canonical dependency JSON for `app-manifest.json`.
39
+ - `get_api_environment` — current API environment the plugin is pointing at.
40
+
41
+ **Real-time events:**
42
+
43
+ - `api_find_events_for_operation` — given an operationId, return the AsyncAPI events whose `x-triggered-by` matches. Run this for every `callApi` you're planning to add so you subscribe to live events instead of polling.
44
+ - `api_list_events` — list every event in `components.messages`; optional `triggeredBy` filter.
45
+ - `search_websocket_events` — keyword search across AsyncAPI events and channels.
46
+ - `get_asyncapi_spec` — full AsyncAPI document.
47
+
48
+ **Documentation (`docs.gxp.dev`):**
49
+
50
+ - `docs_list_pages`, `docs_search`, `docs_get_page`.
51
+
52
+ **Output of this phase:** a concrete list of operationIds, event names, and dependencies the plugin will consume.
53
+
54
+ ### Phase 3 — Plan, including the admin configuration form
55
+
56
+ Present a plan to the client and get sign-off before implementing. The plan must cover:
57
+
58
+ 1. **Screens & components** — what renders, in which layout.
59
+ 2. **Data flow** — which API calls populate which store sections, which socket events update state.
60
+ 3. **Admin configuration form** (`configuration.json`) — enumerate every card and field an admin will edit. Cover:
61
+ - Text (strings)
62
+ - Images (assets)
63
+ - Colors, thresholds, numeric settings
64
+ - Feature toggles
65
+ 4. **Manifest inventory** — the exact keys you'll add to `app-manifest.json` under `strings.default`, `assets`, `settings`, `dependencies`, `permissions`.
66
+
67
+ Use the MCP config tools to scaffold the form while building the plan — `config_list_card_types`, `config_list_field_types`, `config_get_field_schema` tell you what's available. Do not proceed to Phase 4 until the client confirms.
68
+
69
+ ### Phase 4 — Implement
70
+
71
+ Build against the plan:
72
+
73
+ - Route **all** data through the GxP store — API via `store.callApi(operationId, identifier, data)`, plus sockets, strings, assets, settings, state.
74
+ - Declare every permission identifier used by `callApi` in `app-manifest.json` → `dependencies` + `permissions`. Use the reserved `"project"` identifier for project-wide / top-level creation operations and pass any required IDs in `data`.
75
+ - Add `gxp-string` / `gxp-src` on every piece of admin-editable content so the configuration form actually controls something.
76
+ - Keep code under `src/`. The runtime container is off-limits.
77
+
78
+ ### Phase 5 — Sync the manifest and build the admin form
79
+
80
+ Run this loop every time you've added or changed a `callApi`, `store.listen`, `gxp-string`, or `gxp-src` — and always before Phase 6:
81
+
82
+ 1. **Sync the configurable surface into `app-manifest.json`.** Call the MCP tool `config_extract_strings` with `writeTo: "app-manifest.json"`. It scans `src/` for every directive and store usage and merges the new keys into the manifest. It's the same logic the CLI runs as `gxdev extract-config`, and the write is linter-guarded so it can't produce an invalid manifest.
83
+
84
+ 2. **Add a `configuration.json` field for every manifest entry.** Use the MCP `config_*` mutation tools — each write validates against the schema before hitting disk. Default mapping:
85
+
86
+ | Manifest entry | `configuration.json` field |
87
+ | ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
88
+ | `strings.default.<key>` | `text` (or `textarea` for long copy) |
89
+ | `assets.<key>` (driven by `gxp-src`) | `selectAsset` |
90
+ | `dependencies[]` — each declared identifier | `asyncSelect` bound to the matching resource list endpoint, so the admin picks a real record |
91
+ | `settings.<key>` color | `colorPicker` |
92
+ | `settings.<key>` threshold / number | `number` |
93
+ | `settings.<key>` feature toggle | `boolean` |
94
+ | Anything else discussed with the client | Look it up with `config_list_field_types` / `config_get_field_schema` |
95
+
96
+ Each field's `name` must exactly match the manifest key it controls — that's the contract the directives and `store.get*` getters rely on. Group related fields into `fields_list` cards with `config_add_card` + `config_add_field`.
97
+
98
+ 3. **Run `gxdev lint --all`** and fix every error before moving on. Do not `force: true` past a lint failure.
99
+
100
+ ### Phase 6 — Test with real broadcasts
101
+
102
+ Before declaring done, cover every `callApi` and every `store.listen`:
103
+
104
+ - For each `callApi(operationId, ...)` you wired, run `api_find_events_for_operation({ operationId })`. If it returns an event, make sure you're subscribed to it via `store.listen(eventName, identifier, cb)` instead of polling.
105
+ - `gxdev socket list` — see available test events.
106
+ - `gxdev socket send --event <EventName>` — fire a test broadcast to exercise your subscriptions. Payloads live in `socket-events/` and can be edited or added.
107
+ - `test_api_route` (MCP) — exercise an endpoint by operationId against the local mock API.
108
+ - `test_scaffold_component_test` (MCP) — generate a Vitest + Vue Test Utils file for any non-trivial component.
109
+ - Manual: Ctrl+Shift+D for in-browser dev tools; `window.gxDevTools.store()` to inspect store state.
110
+
111
+ ### Phase 7 — Final lint
112
+
113
+ Phase 5 already ran the linter once. Run it again after Phase 6 — test changes (mock payloads, tweaked identifiers, extra socket events) can re-introduce schema drift.
114
+
115
+ ```bash
116
+ gxdev lint --all
117
+ ```
118
+
119
+ Fix every error. Work with lint failures is not complete.

91
198
  ```javascript
92
- const store = useGxpStore()
199
+ await store.callApi(operationId, identifier, data)
200
+ ```
201
+
202
+ ### 1. `operationId` — the OpenAPI operation ID
203
+
204
+ This is the `operationId` from the platform's OpenAPI spec. Look it up via MCP — do not invent one:
205
+
206
+ - `api_list_operation_ids` (optionally filter by tag)
207
+ - `search_api_endpoints` (keyword)
208
+ - `api_get_operation_parameters` / `get_endpoint_details` for the full signature
209
+
210
+ The store auto-prefixes bare operation IDs with `portal.v1.project.` if no exact match is found, so both `posts.index` and `portal.v1.project.posts.index` work.
211
+
212
+ ### 2. `identifier` — the permission identifier
213
+
214
+ An identifier declared in `app-manifest.json` under `dependencies` and `permissions`. It is the contract between your plugin and the admin who installs it: the admin binds each identifier to a specific resource + permission set (read, create, update, delete).
215
+
216
+ At runtime the store:
217
+
218
+ - Looks up the bound resource ID from `dependencyList[identifier]` and injects it as a path parameter.
219
+ - Runs the call with the permissions the admin granted to that identifier.
220
+
221
+ **Pick identifiers by the role the resource plays in the plugin**, not by its real-world name. The admin chooses the actual resource later.
222
+
223
+ #### Example — social streams plugin
224
+
225
+ A plugin that pulls posts + images from one social stream and reposts them to another:
226
+
227
+ ```json
228
+ // app-manifest.json
229
+ {
230
+ "dependencies": [
231
+ { "identifier": "social_stream_one", "model": "SocialStream" },
232
+ { "identifier": "social_stream_two", "model": "SocialStream" }
233
+ ],
234
+ "permissions": [
235
+ {
236
+ "identifier": "social_stream_one",
237
+ "description": "Source stream — read posts"
238
+ },
239
+ {
240
+ "identifier": "social_stream_two",
241
+ "description": "Destination stream — create posts"
242
+ }
243
+ ]
244
+ }
245
+ ```
246
+
247
+ ```javascript
248
+ // Read from the source (admin grants read-only on stream A)
249
+ const posts = await store.callApi("posts.index", "social_stream_one")
250
+
251
+ // Re-post to the destination (admin grants create on stream B)
252
+ for (const post of posts) {
253
+ await store.callApi("posts.store", "social_stream_two", {
254
+ body: post.body,
255
+ image_url: post.image_url,
256
+ })
257
+ }
258
+ ```
259
+
260
+ The plugin never hard-codes a stream ID. The admin wires `social_stream_one` → Stream A and `social_stream_two` → Stream B at install time.
261
+
262
+ ### 3. `data` — additional params
93
263
 
94
- // GET request
95
- const data = await store.apiGet("/api/v1/attendees", { event_id: 123 })
264
+ Body fields for POST/PUT/PATCH, query params for GET/DELETE, and any path params that aren't supplied by the identifier. A value of the form `"pluginVars.keyName"` is resolved from `pluginVars` at call time — useful for settings-driven calls without plumbing.
96
265
 
97
- // POST request
98
- const result = await store.apiPost("/api/v1/check-ins", {
99
- attendee_id: 456,
100
- station_id: "kiosk-1",
266
+ ```javascript
267
+ await store.callApi("posts.index", "social_stream_one", {
268
+ limit: 20,
269
+ search: "pluginVars.defaultSearchTerm", // resolved from settings at call time
101
270
  })
271
+ ```
272
+
273
+ Auto-injected for free (do not pass manually):
274
+
275
+ - `teamSlug` and `projectSlug` from `pluginVars.projectId`.
276
+ - `form` from `pluginVars.formId` when the operation requires it.
277
+
278
+ ### The `"project"` identifier — project-wide / top-level operations
279
+
280
+ Use the reserved identifier `"project"` when:
281
+
282
+ - You are creating the parent resource itself (e.g. creating the social stream, not posting to one).
283
+ - You are hitting any project-scoped operation that isn't bound to a specific dependency.
284
+
285
+ With `"project"`, the call runs with project-wide permissions. You must provide any remaining path params in `data`, since there is no dependency to look them up from.
286
+
287
+ ```javascript
288
+ // Create the social stream itself — top-level object under the project
289
+ const stream = await store.callApi("social_streams.store", "project", {
290
+ name: "Launch Feed",
291
+ description: "Official launch posts",
292
+ })
293
+
294
+ // Now create a post under that newly created stream. The stream isn't in
295
+ // dependencyList — pass its ID explicitly in data.
296
+ await store.callApi("posts.store", "project", {
297
+ socialStreamId: stream.id,
298
+ body: "We're live!",
299
+ })
300
+ ```
301
+
302
+ Rule of thumb:
303
+
304
+ - Operating on a resource the admin will bind → declare a dependency identifier, pass it.
305
+ - Creating the parent itself, or anything genuinely project-wide → use `"project"` and pass the IDs in `data`.
306
+
307
+ ### Defining identifiers the right way
102
308
 
103
- // PUT request
104
- await store.apiPut("/api/v1/attendees/456", { status: "checked_in" })
309
+ When planning a feature (Phase 3), list every dependency + permission identifier the plugin needs, with the operations each one covers. Example:
105
310
 
106
- // PATCH request
107
- await store.apiPatch("/api/v1/attendees/456", { badge_printed: true })
311
+ | Identifier | Scope | Operations used | Permissions expected |
312
+ | ------------------- | ------------------------- | --------------------------- | ---------------------- |
313
+ | `social_stream_one` | dependency (SocialStream) | `posts.index`, `posts.show` | read |
314
+ | `social_stream_two` | dependency (SocialStream) | `posts.store` | create |
315
+ | `project` | project-wide | `social_streams.store` | create on SocialStream |
108
316
 
109
- // DELETE request
110
- await store.apiDelete("/api/v1/check-ins/789")
317
+ Use `api_generate_dependency` (MCP) to produce the canonical JSON for each dependency entry.
318
+
319
+ ### Low-level methods (avoid)
320
+
321
+ ```javascript
322
+ await store.apiGet("/api/v1/endpoint", { params })
323
+ await store.apiPost("/api/v1/endpoint", data)
324
+ await store.apiPut("/api/v1/endpoint/id", data)
325
+ await store.apiPatch("/api/v1/endpoint/id", data)
326
+ await store.apiDelete("/api/v1/endpoint/id")
111
327
  ```
112
328
 
329
+ These bypass the permission model and take you off the MCP-verified operationId path. Only reach for them if you have a specific reason `callApi` won't work.
330

- ## WebSocket Events
343
+ ## Real-Time Events
344
+
345
+ A plugin has two distinct streams of real-time data, both surfaced through the store:
126
346
 
127
- WebSockets are pre-configured through the store. Listen for real-time events:
347
+ 1. **The `primary` channel** — an in-app peer channel shared by everyone currently using this plugin. Use it for peer pub/sub that doesn't need a server round-trip (cursor position, "someone clicked start", presence beacons).
348
+ 2. **Platform API events** — events the GxP backend emits when API operations complete. They're documented in the AsyncAPI spec at `${apiDocsBaseUrl}/api-specs/asyncapi.json`, under `components.messages`. Each message may declare an `x-triggered-by` pointing at an OpenAPI operationId — that's the bridge between `callApi` and live updates.
349
+
350
+ ### The `primary` channel
351
+
352
+ The `primary` socket is always initialized. Any connected user of the plugin can listen and broadcast:
128
353
 
129
354
  ```javascript
130
355
  const store = useGxpStore()
131
356
 
132
- // Listen on primary socket
133
- store.listenSocket("primary", "EventName", (data) => {
134
- console.log("Event received:", data)
357
+ // Listen for a custom event from other users of this plugin
358
+ const unsubscribe = store.listen("primary", "cursor_moved", (data) => {
359
+ console.log("Peer moved:", data)
135
360
  })
136
361
 
137
- // Emit to primary socket
138
- store.emitSocket("primary", "client-event", { message: "Hello" })
362
+ // Broadcast to everyone else on the primary channel
363
+ store.broadcast("primary", "cursor_moved", { x: 42, y: 100 })
364
+
365
+ // Unsubscribe when the component unmounts
366
+ onBeforeUnmount(() => unsubscribe())
367
+ ```
139
368
 
140
- // For dependency-based sockets (configured in app-manifest.json)
141
- store.useSocketListener("dependency_identifier", "updated", (data) => {
142
- console.log("Dependency updated:", data)
369
+ `store.broadcast` is just an alias to the underlying primary emit. Event names are your choice — they don't need to exist in AsyncAPI.
370
+
371
+ ### Platform API events
372
+
373
+ `store.listen` is polymorphic. Call it with an **event name** first and a **permission identifier** second and it subscribes to that AsyncAPI event on the primary socket, scoped to the resource the admin bound for that identifier.
374
+
375
+ ```javascript
376
+ // When a post is created on the destination stream, append it to the UI.
377
+ store.listen("SocialStreamPostCreated", "social_stream_two", (post) => {
378
+ posts.value.unshift(post)
143
379
  })
144
380
  ```
145
381
 
146
- ### Dependency Socket Configuration
382
+ The permission identifier must be one of:
383
+
384
+ - A dependency identifier declared in `app-manifest.json` → `dependencies` (same identifiers you pass to `callApi`), **or**
385
+ - The reserved `"project"` identifier for project-scoped events.
386
+
387
+ Typo-check: if the identifier isn't bound in `dependencyList` at call time, the store logs a warning and the subscription is effectively silent.
388
+
389
+ ### The core rule: replace polling with events
390
+
391
+ Whenever you add a `callApi` call, immediately check whether the platform fires an event for it. If it does, subscribe to that event instead of polling.
147
392
 
148
- In `app-manifest.json`:
393
+ MCP tools for this:
394
+
395
+ | Tool | Purpose |
396
+ | ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
397
+ | `api_find_events_for_operation` | Given an operationId, return every AsyncAPI message whose `x-triggered-by` matches. This is the primary lookup after wiring a `callApi`. |
398
+ | `api_list_events` | List every event in `components.messages`; optional `triggeredBy` filter. |
399
+ | `search_websocket_events` | Keyword search across event names + channels. |
400
+ | `get_asyncapi_spec` | Full AsyncAPI document when you need the raw payload schema. |
401
+
402
+ **Worked example — social streams:**
403
+
404
+ ```javascript
405
+ // Creating a post via callApi
406
+ const post = await store.callApi("posts.store", "social_stream_two", {
407
+ body: "Hello world",
408
+ })
409
+
410
+ // MCP lookup:
411
+ // api_find_events_for_operation({ operationId: "posts.store" })
412
+ // returns: [{ eventName: "SocialStreamPostCreated", triggeredBy: "posts.store", ... }]
413

+ store.listen("SocialStreamPostCreated", "social_stream_two", (newPost) => {
416
+ posts.value.unshift(newPost)
417
+ })
418

419

420
+ That subscription covers posts created by _any_ user, not just this one — which is usually what you want. No refetching, no drift.

424
+ ```bash

427

428

429
+ Payloads live under `socket-events/`; add or edit a JSON file to define a new one. Use this to exercise a `store.listen` subscription without needing the real backend to fire the event.

431
+ ### Dependency block in `app-manifest.json`
432
+
433
+ If a dependency has backend events you want pre-wired (so `sockets[identifier][eventType]` becomes available for the legacy shape), declare them in the manifest:

+ ## Admin Configuration Form (`configuration.json`)
483
+
484
+ This is what admins see to customize the plugin after ship. Every `gxp-string`, `gxp-src`, declared dependency, or setting the plugin exposes belongs here as a field so it can be edited without a code change.
485
+
486
+ ### The close-out workflow
487
+
488
+ Run every time you've added or changed a `callApi`, `store.listen`, `gxp-string`, or `gxp-src`:
489
+
490
+ 1. **Sync the manifest** — `config_extract_strings` with `writeTo: "app-manifest.json"`. Same logic as `gxdev extract-config` on the CLI: scans `src/`, merges new directives/store usages/dependency identifiers into the manifest, and writes linter-guarded.
491
+ 2. **Add a matching field in `configuration.json`** for every manifest entry using the mapping below.
492
+ 3. **Validate** — `config_validate` on demand; `gxdev lint --all` before declaring done.
493
+
494
+ ### Default field mapping
495
+
496
+ | Manifest source | `configuration.json` field |
497
+ | ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
498
+ | `strings.default.<key>` | `text` (or `textarea` for long copy) |
499
+ | `assets.<key>` (driven by `gxp-src`) | `selectAsset` |
500
+ | `dependencies[]` — each declared identifier | `asyncSelect` bound to the matching resource list endpoint, so the admin picks a real record |
501
+ | `settings.<key>` color | `colorPicker` |
502
+ | `settings.<key>` threshold / number | `number` |
503
+ | `settings.<key>` feature toggle | `boolean` |
504
+ | Anything else discussed with the client | Look it up with `config_list_field_types` / `config_get_field_schema` |
505
+
506
+ Each field's `name` must exactly match the manifest key it controls — that's the contract the directives and store getters rely on. Group related fields into `fields_list` cards (`config_add_card` + `config_add_field`).
507
+
508
+ ### Tools
509
+
510
+ | Tool | Purpose |
511
+ | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
512
+ | `config_list_card_types` | See available card types. |
513
+ | `config_list_field_types` | See available field types. |
514
+ | `config_get_field_schema` | Get the schema for a specific field type. |
515
+ | `config_list_cards`, `config_list_fields` | Inspect the current form. |
516
+ | `config_add_card`, `config_move_card`, `config_remove_card` | Mutate cards. |
517
+ | `config_add_field`, `config_move_field`, `config_remove_field` | Mutate fields. |
518
+ | `config_extract_strings` | Sync the manifest from `src/` (the Step 1 above). |
519
+ | `config_validate` | Validate a file on demand. |
520
+
521
+ Every mutation is linter-guarded against `bin/lib/lint/schemas/`. If a write is refused, read the validation error and fix the input — do not reach for `force: true`.

  ## Best Practices
281
604
 
282
- 1. **Always use the store for API calls** - Never use axios/fetch directly
283
- 2. **Use gxp-string for all user-facing text** - Enables translation and admin customization
284
- 3. **Use gxp-src for all images** - Enables asset management
285
- 4. **Keep components in src/components/** - Maintain clean structure
286
- 5. **Test with socket events** - Use `gxdev socket send --event EventName`
287
- 6. **Check multiple layouts** - Use Dev Tools (Ctrl+Shift+D) to switch layouts
605
+ 1. **Work the seven-phase workflow** — understand, discover via MCP, plan (with the admin form), implement, sync the manifest + build the form + lint, test broadcasts, final lint.
606
+ 2. **Always use the store** API, sockets, strings, assets, settings, state. Never `axios`/`fetch` directly.
607
+ 3. **Use `gxp-string` / `gxp-src` for all admin-editable content** the configuration form is only as useful as the directives you wire up.
608
+ 4. **Ground everything in MCP discovery** don't invent operationIds or event names.
609
+ 5. **Validate as you build** the MCP config mutation tools already lint; finish with `gxdev lint --all`.
610
+ 6. **Test with real broadcasts** `gxdev socket send --event EventName` + `test_api_route`.
611
+ 7. **Keep components in `src/`** — the container is not yours.
