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
-
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/nullIf 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 -
Enumerate all files in each matched directory (recursively):
find <matched-directory> \( -name "*.component.ts" -o -name "*.component.html" -o -name "*.component.spec.ts" -o -name "*.directive.ts" -o -name "*.directive.html" -o -name "*.directive.spec.ts" \) -
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 - ... -
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
-
Fetch target state from the
fundamental-stylesMCP server:get_component_html— reference HTML markup (correct element structure, nesting)get_accessibility_guide— ARIA attributes, roles, keyboard interaction patternsget_css_classes— full BEM class hierarchy (block, elements, modifiers, states)
-
Read the current Angular implementation:
- Read each
.component.htmltemplate - Read each
.component.tsfile (host bindings, imports, class building logic) - Extract current ARIA attributes, CSS classes, and HTML structure
- Read each
-
Identify gaps by diffing current vs. target:
Category What to look for Missing ARIA attributes role,aria-label,aria-labelledby,aria-expanded,aria-readonly,aria-multiselectable,aria-roledescription,aria-description, etc.Missing/renamed CSS classes New BEM element/modifier classes, new is-*state classes (e.g.,is-readonly)Structural HTML changes Element type changes (e.g., <button>→<span>), wrapper additions/removals, nesting changesRemoved attributes Redundant roles/ARIA on inner elements that the parent now handles Import changes TypeScript imports to add or remove after template changes (e.g., removing ButtonComponentafter button → span) -
Flag i18n requirements:
If any new ARIA attribute requires translated text (e.g.,
aria-label,aria-description,aria-roledescriptionwith 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
- The proposed i18n key name (following the
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:
-
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 -
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")
- Tests that assert exact class counts (
-
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:
- Apply the template (
.component.html) modifications — ARIA attributes, CSS classes, structural HTML - Apply the TypeScript (
.component.ts) modifications — host bindings, import additions/removals - 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, checkfixture.debugElement.attributesornativeElement.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-multiselectablebased onselectionMode), 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:
- Add translation keys following the i18n rule (
.claude/rules/i18n.md) and patterns indocs/agents/i18n-patterns.md - Add keys to
libs/i18n/src/lib/models/fd-language-key-identifier.ts(union type) - Add keys to
libs/i18n/src/lib/models/fd-language.ts(interface) - Add English defaults to all
.propertiesand.tstranslation files underlibs/i18n/src/lib/translations/ - Use
FdTranslatePipein templates orresolveTranslationSignalFn()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]
