Project

  • Locating it: this skill does not assume a fixed install path. See "Locating the Project" below before running any commands.
  • Stack: React 19 + Vite + TypeScript + @xyflow/react (React Flow v12)
  • Purpose: Rich user journey map tool for PMs and UX researchers

Locating the Project

Before making changes, find the project root:

  1. If the user gives a path, use it.
  2. Otherwise search common locations, e.g.:
    find "$HOME" -maxdepth 5 -iname "journey-map" -type d 2>/dev/null
    
  3. If nothing is found, ask the user where the project lives.

Dev Commands

Run from the project root located above:

npm run dev      # start dev server (Vite)
npm run build    # production build
npm run preview  # preview build

Stack

Single package: @xyflow/react (React Flow v12). There is no AntV X6 dependency — the project fully migrated off X6, and no --legacy-peer-deps flag is needed on React 19.

See references/packages.md for imports, node pattern, layout constants, file structure.
