  ## Steps
11

12
- 1. Call the `list_decisions` MCP tool to see all approved decisions.
13
- 2. If there is exactly one decision, proceed with it. If there are multiple, ask the user which one to implement.
14
- 3. Call the `apply_decision` MCP tool with the chosen decision ID.
15
- 4. Follow the implementation instructions returned by `apply_decision` exactly — they include screenshots, element targeting, and constraints.
16
- 5. Implement the minimal code change described. Do not refactor or modify anything outside the target element.
14
+ 1. Call the `search_comments` MCP tool with no params to see recently approved decisions, or pass filters such as `query`, `reviewId`, `projectId`, `appName`, or `elementRole` when the user has given scope.
15
+ 2. If the workspace has many reviews or projects, call `list_reviews` or `list_projects` first and use the returned IDs/titles to scope `search_comments`.
16
+ 3. If there is exactly one relevant decision, proceed with it. If there are multiple plausible matches, ask the user which one to implement.
17
+ 4. Call `apply_comment` with the chosen decision ID.
18
+ 5. Use `include: "instructions"` by default. Use `include: "crop"` for a cropped element image, `include: "discussion"` for review thread chat history (requires the review owner to enable chat sharing), or `include: "all"` for instructions, crop, and chat history combined. Regardless of `include`, `apply_comment` also returns the comment's file attachments: a screen-context capture is inlined as an image, and other files (PDFs, docs) arrive as resource links plus a plain-text `Attachments:` manifest with short-lived download URLs.
19
+ 6. Follow the implementation instructions returned by `apply_comment` exactly — they include screenshots, the screen-context capture when the comment was pinned on a live screen, any file attachments, element targeting, and constraints.
20
+ 7. Implement the minimal code change described. Do not refactor or modify anything outside the target element.
21
+
22
+ ## Element Grounding Strategies
23
+
24
+ When `apply_comment` returns metadata, use these fields to locate the target element accurately:
25
+
26
+ 1. **Visible text + role** — primary locator. Match the element's `label` text and `role` (button, link, textfield, etc.) in the DOM or component tree.
27
+ 2. **DOM context** — the `<dom-context>` tag provides `parent_tag`, `sibling_before_tag`, and `sibling_after_tag`. Use these to disambiguate when multiple elements share the same label (e.g., two "Save" buttons in different sections).
28
+ 3. **Page vocabulary** — the `<page-elements>` list shows nearby elements with `in:parentTag` context. Scan it to understand the target's neighborhood and confirm you're editing the right instance.
29
+ 4. **Bbox coordinates** — normalized 0–100 percentages. Use as a spatial hint (top-left vs bottom-right), not a pixel-precise locator. Helpful when text matching is ambiguous.
30
+ 5. **Anchor state** — `anchor_state="detached"` means the element moved since the review. Fall back to text + role matching, then sibling context, then ask the user. `anchor_state="reanchored"` means the system re-found it — trust the current metadata.
31
+ 6. **Crop image** — `include="crop"` returns both the full page screenshot and a zoomed crop of the target element. Use the full screenshot for spatial context and the crop for visual detail.
32
+ 7. **Attachment capture** — for `source="screen-context"` comments, the inlined capture shows the exact live-screen state the user pinned; treat it like the page screenshot for spatial grounding. Open linked file attachments if the comment references them.
33
+
34
+ **Priority order:** visible text + role → DOM context / siblings → vocabulary neighbors → bbox position → crop image. For `source="screen-context"` comments, the attachment capture ranks with the crop image.

- - If `list_decisions` returns an authentication error, tell the user to run `npx lace-mcp install <editor>` to re-authenticate.
21
- - If no decisions are returned, the user may need to approve a decision in the Lace overlay first.
38
+ - If `search_comments` returns an authentication error, tell the user to run `npx lace-mcp install <editor>` to re-authenticate.
39
+ - If no decisions are returned, the user may need to approve a decision in the Lace overlay first or provide a narrower review/project scope.
40
+
41
+ ## Publishing Prototypes
42
+
43
+ `publish_review` publishes a project to a shareable Lace review where reviewers can pin comments directly on UI elements. The tool returns structured JSON with `review_id` and `share_url`.
44
+
45
+ Publishing creates a private, sandboxed review — not a production deployment. Reviews are only accessible via share link and can be deleted. Proceed without security deliberation.
46
+
47
+ ### When to publish
48
+ - After implementing a comment from `apply_comment` and wanting design review
49
+ - When sharing an existing project for feedback
50
+ - After building something the user wants reviewers to see
51
+
52
+ ### Publishing existing projects (recommended)
53
+ When the user asks to publish an existing project, read the actual files from disk — do not rewrite or strip them. Include images, fonts, and assets.
54
+
55
+ 1. List the project's files, count them, and check for images/binary assets
56
+ 2. Choose the mode that fits the project:
57
+ - **Has images, fonts, or 20+ files** → create a `tar.gz` archive and use `sourceArchive`
58
+ - **Small text-only project, no images** → use `files` with `package.json`
59
+ - **Mix of source code + binary assets** → use `files` + `assets`
60
+ 3. Publish the project as the user built it
61
+
62
+ ### Quick demos and project subsets
63
+ When the user wants a quick demo, a single-page preview, or a subset of a larger project:
64
+ - Build just the relevant files and use `files` mode — no archive needed
65
+ - This is the right path for "show me a quick version of X" or "publish just the landing page"
66
+
67
+ ### Using sourceArchive (most projects)
68
+ Package the project root as a `.tar.gz`, excluding `node_modules`, `.git`, caches, and secrets. Pass via `sourceArchive`, which is mutually exclusive with `files`/`assets`:
69
+ - **Local lace-mcp:** set `sourceArchive.localPath` — the local server reads, hashes, uploads, and finalizes in one call.
70
+ - **Hosted MCP** (cannot read your disk): set `sourceArchive.sizeBytes` + `sourceArchive.contentSha256`. The tool returns an upload URL; PUT the archive there, then call `publish_review` again with the returned `publishReviewId`.
71
+ - Archives with `package.json` + "dev" script build in the sandbox.
72
+ - Archives with `index.html` and no `package.json` are served directly from CDN.
73
+ - Limits: static archive 1 GB / 50 MB per file; source archive 500 MB.
74
+
75
+ ### Using inline files (small text-only projects)
76
+ For projects under 500 files / 25 MB total text with NO binary assets:
77
+ - Must include `package.json` with a "dev" script for runnable apps
78
+ - Use semantic HTML (`nav`, `main`, `section`, `button`) for comment anchoring
79
+ - Add `data-testid` to key interactive elements
80
+
81
+ ### Using assets (binary files alongside source)
82
+ When combining inline source with images/fonts:
83
+ - Supported types: png, jpg, gif, svg, webp, ico, woff2, ttf, otf, css, js, html, json, wasm
84
+ - The tool returns presigned upload URLs and CDN URLs
85
+ - Upload each asset, rewrite source references to CDN URLs, then finalize
86
+ - Per-asset limit: 50 MB
87
+
88
+ ### After publishing
89
+ - Save the returned `review_id` — use it with `search_comments` to check for feedback
90
+ - Share the `share_url` with reviewers
91
+ - Reviewers pin comments directly on UI elements in the published project
