## Launch prompt
|
||
|
||
"Use flotilla to create a new app. It's not a webapp — it's a Visual Studio
|
||
plugin so no GCP infra required. Similar to the Claude plugin. I've already
|
||
created this repo and the *-content repo and both are cloned locally."
|
||
|
||
Mid-session pivot: "Let's capture approach A as an epic in Gitea and create a
|
||
single Feature, which I'd like you to recommend as the first tiny thing we can
|
||
build that gets the scaffolding in place and on track. It isn't a shippable
|
||
thing — just proof of concept that gives us a starting point."
|
||
|
||
## Pre-state
|
||
|
||
- Two brand-new, empty repos cloned locally (`.git` only, no commits):
|
||
`vscode-cowriting-plugin` and `vscode-cowriting-plugin-content`, under
|
||
`benstull/` on `git.benstull.org`.
|
||
- No `app.json`, so the repo was not yet a registered Wiggleverse app.
|
||
- Local clone remotes used stale aliases (`vs-code-cowriting-plugin`,
|
||
`vs-cowriting-plugin-content`) that Gitea 301-redirects to the canonical
|
||
`vscode-cowriting-plugin(-content)`.
|
||
|
||
## The arc
|
||
|
||
1. **Session gate / classification.** Opened as planning-and-executing; used the
|
||
`superpowers:brainstorming` skill to explore intent because the request was
|
||
greenfield and underspecified.
|
||
|
||
2. **Discovery — what the app actually is.** "Flotilla" turned out not to map:
|
||
the `launch-app` suite is for GCP-deployed standard-stack webapps, none of
|
||
which applies to a no-infra VS Code extension. "Similar to the Claude plugin"
|
||
+ "the RFC app experience" + "built on Clide" resolved, after clarification,
|
||
to: the **inner-loop coauthoring experience** from `ben.stull/rfc-app#48`,
|
||
delivered as a VS Code extension on local files. "Clide" was a typo for
|
||
**Cline** (github.com/cline/cline) — the open-source coding-agent extension.
|
||
|
||
3. **Architecture decision (Approach A).** Researched Cline: it ships
|
||
`@cline/sdk` (programmatic agent API + plugin/tool registration + MCP,
|
||
Apache-2.0). That makes a **standalone extension on `@cline/sdk`** the clean
|
||
answer to rfc-app#48's open Q2 (standalone vs. fork vs. companion) — no fork,
|
||
own coauthoring UI. Operator chose **scaffold + register only** as the scope.
|
||
|
||
4. **Pivot to capture.** Operator updated the plugin (0.24.0 → 0.27.0) for the
|
||
new `wgl-capture` skill and asked to capture Approach A as a Gitea **Epic** +
|
||
one first **Feature** (a recommended tiny POC), rather than scaffold directly.
|
||
Switched into a `capture` session.
|
||
|
||
5. **App registration + naming reconciliation.** Authored `app.json` (no CLI
|
||
emits it). Discovered via a Gitea 301 that the canonical repo names are
|
||
`vscode-cowriting-plugin(-content)`, not the alias remotes. Operator confirmed
|
||
the canonical **One Name `vscode-cowriting-plugin`**. Reconciled: `app.json`
|
||
(app + both repos), both local remotes, and the local transcript dir; pushed
|
||
`app.json` to `main` (rebased over the claim's `sessions/0001` placeholder).
|
||
|
||
6. **Token blocker.** Filing needed a `git.benstull.org` token with the `issue`
|
||
scope; none existed (the wiggleverse issue token 401s cross-host; the existing
|
||
per-host benstull token 403s on issues/labels). Operator created a dedicated
|
||
token stored in Keychain as `wgl-gitea-issues-readwrite-token-git.benstull.org`.
|
||
|
||
7. **Filed the issues.** Ensured the capture taxonomy labels, then filed:
|
||
- **#1** `type/epic` `priority/P1` — "VS Code coauthoring plugin built on
|
||
Cline (`@cline/sdk`)".
|
||
- **#2** `type/feature` `priority/P1` — "POC: runnable extension skeleton that
|
||
drives `@cline/sdk`" (parent #1; #1's decomposition links back to #2).
|
||
|
||
The recommended first Feature (#2): the smallest non-shippable POC — repo
|
||
builds, F5 launches the Extension Development Host with the extension active,
|
||
one command drives `@cline/sdk` and shows a result — validating Approach A and
|
||
becoming the skeleton F2–F5 (threads, attribution, git-native persistence)
|
||
land in.
|
||
|
||
## Cut state
|
||
|
||
- `app.json` committed + pushed to `benstull/vscode-cowriting-plugin@main`
|
||
(canonical One Name). Working tree clean.
|
||
- Gitea issues **#1** (Epic) and **#2** (Feature) filed and cross-linked on
|
||
`benstull/vscode-cowriting-plugin`.
|
||
- Capture taxonomy labels created on the tracker.
|
||
- Draft issue files left **uncommitted** in
|
||
`vscode-cowriting-plugin-content/issues/` (`coauthoring-plugin-on-cline.md`,
|
||
`poc-extension-cline-sdk.md`) — the Author's to commit/publish or discard
|
||
(capture INV-8).
|
||
- No code scaffolded yet (deferred by scope).
|
||
|
||
## Operator plate
|
||
|
||
- Both repos are **public** on Gitea — confirm if unintended (handbook treats
|
||
public as a deliberate exception).
|
||
- The two draft files remain uncommitted in the content repo — publish or discard.
|
||
- Memory note was intentionally skipped at the operator's request.
|
||
|
||
## Next-session prompt
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
/goal Build Feature #2 (the POC): scaffold a standalone VS Code extension on @cline/sdk in benstull/vscode-cowriting-plugin — repo builds, F5 launches the Extension Development Host with the extension active, and one command drives @cline/sdk and shows a result. Per issues #2 (parent epic #1) and rfc-app#48. Non-shippable proof-of-concept skeleton only.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Deferred decisions
|
||
|
||
_No low-confidence autonomous calls this session — the operator confirmed the
|
||
One Name, the scope (scaffold + register only), Approach A, and the filing._
