Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Adopt Fundamental-Styles Changes: $ARGUMENTS skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by sap/fundamental-ngx in .claude/skills/adopt-styles/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask the user for one or more fundamental-styles component names before proceeding.

Parse $ARGUMENTS as a comma-separated list of fundamental-styles component names (e.g., calendar, checkbox, radio).


Phase 1: Discover

For each component name, locate its Angular implementation across all library packages.

Steps

  1. Find component directories:

    # Search all library packages — not just core
    find libs/core libs/platform libs/btp libs/cx libs/cdk -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "<component>" 2>/dev/null
    

    If no exact match, try partial/fuzzy matching:

    find libs/core libs/platform libs/btp libs/cx libs/cdk -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "*<component>*" 2>/dev/null
    
  2. Enumerate all files in each matched directory (recursively):

    find <matched-directory> \( -name "*.component.ts" -o -name "*.component.html" -o -name "*.component.spec.ts" -o -name "*.directive.ts" -o -name "*.directive.html" -o -name "*.directive.spec.ts" \)
    
  3. Present the discovered file tree grouped by package and component:

    ## Discovered Files
    
    ### core/calendar
    - calendar.component.ts
    - calendar.component.html
    - calendar.component.spec.ts
    - calendar-views/calendar-day-view/calendar-day-view.component.ts
    - calendar-views/calendar-day-view/calendar-day-view.component.html
    - calendar-views/calendar-day-view/calendar-day-view.component.spec.ts
    - calendar-legend/calendar-legend.component.ts
    - ...
    
    ### core/checkbox
    - checkbox/checkbox.component.ts
    - ...
    
  4. If any component name has zero matches, report it and ask the user to clarify before proceeding.


Phase 2: Analyze

For each discovered component, compare the current Angular implementation against the fundamental-styles target state.

Steps

  1. Fetch target state from the fundamental-styles MCP server:

    • get_component_html — reference HTML markup (correct element structure, nesting)
    • get_accessibility_guide — ARIA attributes, roles, keyboard interaction patterns
    • get_css_classes — full BEM class hierarchy (block, elements, modifiers, states)
  2. Read the current Angular implementation:

    • Read each .component.html template
    • Read each .component.ts file (host bindings, imports, class building logic)
    • Extract current ARIA attributes, CSS classes, and HTML structure
  3. Identify gaps by diffing current vs. target:

    CategoryWhat to look for
    Missing ARIA attributesrole, aria-label, aria-labelledby, aria-expanded, aria-readonly, aria-multiselectable, aria-roledescription, aria-description, etc.
    Missing/renamed CSS classesNew BEM element/modifier classes, new is-* state classes (e.g., is-readonly)
    Structural HTML changesElement type changes (e.g., <button><span>), wrapper additions/removals, nesting changes
    Removed attributesRedundant roles/ARIA on inner elements that the parent now handles
    Import changesTypeScript imports to add or remove after template changes (e.g., removing ButtonComponent after button → span)
  4. Flag i18n requirements:

    If any new ARIA attribute requires translated text (e.g., aria-label, aria-description, aria-roledescription with user-facing strings), note:

    • The proposed i18n key name (following the core<ComponentName>.<descriptorName> convention)
    • The English default text
    • Which file and attribute will consume it

Phase 3: Plan

Present a structured adoption plan. Stop and wait for user approval before executing.

3.1 Ripple scan

Before presenting the plan, scan for downstream consumers that may break:

  1. Find all template usages of the component's selector(s) across the monorepo:

    grep -rn '<fd-<component>\|fd-<component> ' libs --include='*.html' --include='*.ts' | grep -v node_modules
    
  2. In each consumer, check for brittle assertions or hard-coded references:

    • Tests that assert exact class counts (.classList.length)
    • Tests that assert concatenated class strings (.className.toContain('class-a class-b'))
    • Templates using string-attribute form for typed inputs (e.g., tabindex="0" instead of [tabindex]="0")
  3. Add downstream fixes to the plan as separate entries.

3.2 Output format

## Adoption Plan

### <ComponentName> (<package>/<path>)

| File | What to change | Why |
|------|---------------|-----|
| `component.ts` | Add `role="group"` to host | Screen readers need to identify as group |
| `component.html` | Add `aria-readonly` to `<table>` | Grid table needs ARIA state attributes |
| `component.html` | Change `<button fd-button>` → `<span class="fd-button ...">` | Remove double-focusable element |
| `component.ts` | Remove `ButtonComponent` from imports | No longer used after button → span |

### i18n Keys Needed

| Key | English Default | Used By |
|-----|----------------|---------|
| `coreCalendar.calendarLegendLabel` | `Calendar legend` | `calendar-legend.component.ts` → `aria-label` |

### Tests to Add

| Spec File | Test Description |
|-----------|-----------------|
| `calendar.component.spec.ts` | Verify `role="group"` present on host element |
| `calendar.component.spec.ts` | Verify `aria-roledescription="Calendar"` on host |
| `calendar-day-view.component.spec.ts` | Verify `aria-readonly="false"` on table |

### Summary

- **Files to modify:** X
- **ARIA attributes added/changed:** X
- **CSS classes added/changed:** X
- **Structural HTML changes:** X
- **i18n keys needed:** X
- **Tests to add:** X
- **No public API changes** (or list any if there are)

Wait for user approval. Do not proceed until the user confirms.


Phase 4: Execute

After the user approves the plan, apply all changes.

4.1 Template and TypeScript changes

For each change in the plan:

  1. Apply the template (.component.html) modifications — ARIA attributes, CSS classes, structural HTML
  2. Apply the TypeScript (.component.ts) modifications — host bindings, import additions/removals
  3. Verify each file compiles (no syntax errors in the edit)

4.2 Incremental build check

After applying template and TypeScript changes but before writing tests, run a quick build to catch type errors early:

nx run <library>:build

This catches issues like string-attribute vs property-binding mismatches (e.g., tabindex="0" vs [tabindex]="0") before investing time in test creation. Fix any build errors before proceeding.

4.3 Test generation

For each ARIA or markup change, add test(s) to the corresponding .spec.ts file:

  • Host binding tests: Create component via TestBed, check fixture.debugElement.attributes or nativeElement.getAttribute()
  • Template attribute tests: Query the target element, assert attribute presence and value
  • Dynamic attribute tests: If the attribute depends on component state (e.g., aria-multiselectable based on selectionMode), test both states
  • Structural tests: If an element type changed (button → span), verify the new element type and that old element is absent

Follow the testing patterns in docs/agents/testing-guidelines.md and existing spec files in the component directory.

4.4 i18n delegation

If the plan includes i18n keys:

  1. Add translation keys following the i18n rule (.claude/rules/i18n.md) and patterns in docs/agents/i18n-patterns.md
  2. Add keys to libs/i18n/src/lib/models/fd-language-key-identifier.ts (union type)
  3. Add keys to libs/i18n/src/lib/models/fd-language.ts (interface)
  4. Add English defaults to all .properties and .ts translation files under libs/i18n/src/lib/translations/
  5. Use FdTranslatePipe in templates or resolveTranslationSignalFn() in TypeScript as appropriate

4.5 Preflight

Run local quality gates:

yarn format
nx run <library>:build
nx run <library>:lint
nx run <library>:test --skip-nx-cache

Report results per gate (PASS/FAIL). If any gate fails, diagnose and fix before reporting completion.


Phase 5: Retrospective

After execution is complete and all quality gates pass, produce a retrospective report.

Output format

## Retrospective

### What went well
- [List components/changes where discovery → analysis → execution was smooth]
- [Patterns that were fast to apply]
- [MCP tools that returned accurate, complete data]

### What was slow or needed manual judgment
- [Components where file discovery was non-obvious]
- [MCP tools that returned incomplete/unexpected data for specific components]
- [Structural changes that needed careful reasoning beyond simple attribute additions]
- [i18n overhead]
- [Test generation that required unusual setup or mocking]

### Suggested improvements

#### This skill (`adopt-styles`)
- [Specific changes to improve discovery, analysis, or execution]

#### Other skills / docs
- [Updates to other skill files, agent docs, or rules that would reduce friction]
- [e.g., "i18n-manage skill could accept batch of keys", "fundamental-styles MCP rule could note that get_component_html may not show all variants"]

#### fundamental-styles MCP
- [Gaps in MCP tool coverage or data quality encountered during this run]

### Timing
| Phase | Duration | Notes |
|-------|----------|-------|
| Discover | ~X min | |
| Analyze | ~X min | |
| Plan + approval | ~X min | |
| Execute | ~X min | |
| **Total** | **~X min** | |

Ask the user if they would like to apply any of the suggested improvements now. If approved, make the updates to skill files, docs, or rules directly.
