Escourtly

WORKING SLICE
Capture permitted pages with a Manifest V3 extension, inspect each sanitized snapshot and add click hotspots. Publish a sandboxed replay bundle with no original scripts or live form submissions.

Build this scoped Escourtly-inspired workflow with a documented data model and visible failure states.

Architecture
- Next.js App Router and TypeScript for server-rendered pages and validated mutations.
- PostgreSQL with Drizzle migrations; Better Auth sessions for a small private workspace.

Prerequisites and limits
A supported Node release, PostgreSQL, HTTPS for a shared deployment, and a backup destination. Begin with one workspace and explicit owner/member permissions.
Outside this release: capture fidelity on canvas, cross-origin iframes, shadow DOM and lazily loaded assets; no-login share links and embeds that hold up under real traffic

Data model and correctness
walkthroughs, sanitized DOM snapshots, bundled assets, hotspot steps, redaction rules and publish versions
Invariant: DOM capture must strip credentials and sensitive fields before upload; cross-origin frames and canvas capture remain explicit unsupported states.
Commit related database changes in one transaction. Use version checks for competing edits and an outbox for external notifications; retry delivery independently of saving the record.

Security and privacy
Authorize every record read and mutation on the server using its workspace membership; validate payloads, protect mutations against CSRF, and escape user-authored HTML.

Recovery and export
Export versioned JSON plus attachments and a readable CSV summary. Restore into a separate database and compare record IDs and attachment checksums before switching.

Implementation order
1. Phase 1 — Scope and fixtures. Implement this bounded workflow: Capture permitted pages with a Manifest V3 extension, inspect each sanitized snapshot and add click hotspots. Publish a sandboxed replay bundle with no original scripts or live form submissions. Record prerequisites, select representative user-owned fixtures and document the unsupported features: capture fidelity on canvas, cross-origin iframes, shadow DOM and lazily loaded assets; no-login share links and embeds that hold up under real traffic
2. Phase 2 — Durable model. Model walkthroughs, sanitized DOM snapshots, bundled assets, hotspot steps, redaction rules and publish versions Add migrations or a versioned document format, explicit validation, stable IDs and a visible import-error report. Preserve this rule: DOM capture must strip credentials and sensitive fields before upload; cross-origin frames and canvas capture remain explicit unsupported states.
3. Phase 3 — Complete the first useful path. Implement the workflow's input, review and output interface, with clear controls and explicit empty/error states. Commit related database changes in one transaction. Use version checks for competing edits and an outbox for external notifications; retry delivery independently of saving the record.
4. Phase 4 — Permissions and integration failure. Authorize every record read and mutation on the server using its workspace membership; validate payloads, protect mutations against CSRF, and escape user-authored HTML. Request integration credentials and permissions only for the enabled feature; show a disconnected state instead of mock results.
5. Phase 5 — Portable handoff. Export versioned JSON plus attachments and a readable CSV summary. Restore into a separate database and compare record IDs and attachment checksums before switching. Include setup, operating limits, fixture walkthrough and shutdown/restart instructions in the README.
6. Phase 6 — Acceptance scenarios. A captured password field has no value in stored HTML; clicking a replay form cannot submit to the original site, and redacted text is absent from bundled assets. Repeat the workflow after restart and with a denied permission or unavailable dependency; show recoverable failure rather than a success placeholder.

Acceptance
A captured password field has no value in stored HTML; clicking a replay form cannot submit to the original site, and redacted text is absent from bundled assets.
Use real source data or clearly labeled fixtures. Explain unsupported input and provider failures; do not fabricate analytics, delivery receipts, accuracy claims or security guarantees.

# AGENTS.md — Build guide for Escourtly

## Project scope
Capture permitted pages with a Manifest V3 extension, inspect each sanitized snapshot and add click hotspots. Publish a sandboxed replay bundle with no original scripts or live form submissions.

Catalogue verdict: kinda. The core loop is a weekend build on top of rrweb: snapshot the DOM on each click, inline the assets, and replay the snapshots as a clickable walkthrough. What takes the project from a demo to something you would put in front of a prospect is capture fidelity · real apps are full of canvas, cross-origin iframes, shadow DOM and lazily loaded assets, and every one of them is a separate fix. Past that sit the parts that are infrastructure rather than features: no-login share links and embeds that stay up, custom domains with certificates, funnel analytics, and CRM sync. Build it for your own product and one sitting gets you a long way. Build it to replace the subscription and you have signed up for the edge cases.
Use the implementation prompt below to define the deliverable. Complete each phase's acceptance checks before extending the scope.

## Working agreement
- Inspect the repository and its existing instructions before choosing paths, dependencies or commands. Keep one coherent stack and explain changes to the proposed architecture.
- Plan a vertical slice that accepts a real input and produces the useful output described below. Persist only the state the prompt calls for; respect memory-only and upstream-managed workflows. Use fixtures only when they are clearly labelled.
- After scaffolding, document the actual install, development, check and build commands in README and keep them synchronized with the package or project manifest. Do not report commands as successful unless they ran.
- Work in small steps. At handoff, list implemented flows, checks actually performed, remaining blockers, and any credentials or provider setup the owner must supply.
- Do not publish, spend money, contact customers, delete source data or run irreversible migrations without the project owner's authorization.

## Prerequisites
- A supported Node release, PostgreSQL, HTTPS for a shared deployment, and a backup destination. Begin with one workspace and explicit owner/member permissions.
- Implementation components: Next.js App Router and TypeScript for server-rendered pages and validated mutations. PostgreSQL with Drizzle migrations; Better Auth sessions for a small private workspace.
- Scope boundary: capture fidelity on canvas, cross-origin iframes, shadow DOM and lazily loaded assets; no-login share links and embeds that hold up under real traffic

Read the linked SKILL.md and its dependencies before adding a skill. Select only the skills matching this project's runtime and task; their documentation does not supply API access, credentials or approval to perform external actions. Pin the reviewed revision where the tool supports it. Follow the chosen agent's documented project-level installation mechanism.

## Distribution ideas
These are optional planning notes. Obtain the owner's approval before publishing or contacting anyone.
- Demonstrate the actual Escourtly-inspired workflow with owned or clearly labeled sample data: Capture permitted pages with a Manifest V3 extension, inspect each sanitized snapshot and add click hotspots. Publish a sandboxed replay bundle with no original scripts or live form submissions.
- Publish a reproducible walkthrough with this observable result: A captured password field has no value in stored HTML; clicking a replay form cannot submit to the original site, and redacted text is absent from bundled assets.
- Explain who can operate this scoped tool, its setup and ongoing costs, and these remaining product gaps: capture fidelity on canvas, cross-origin iframes, shadow DOM and lazily loaded assets; no-login share links and embeds that hold up under real traffic Avoid guaranteed savings, performance scores or implied endorsement.

## Engineering roadmap
1. Phase 1 — Scope and fixtures. Implement this bounded workflow: Capture permitted pages with a Manifest V3 extension, inspect each sanitized snapshot and add click hotspots. Publish a sandboxed replay bundle with no original scripts or live form submissions. Record prerequisites, select representative user-owned fixtures and document the unsupported features: capture fidelity on canvas, cross-origin iframes, shadow DOM and lazily loaded assets; no-login share links and embeds that hold up under real traffic
2. Phase 2 — Durable model. Model walkthroughs, sanitized DOM snapshots, bundled assets, hotspot steps, redaction rules and publish versions Add migrations or a versioned document format, explicit validation, stable IDs and a visible import-error report. Preserve this rule: DOM capture must strip credentials and sensitive fields before upload; cross-origin frames and canvas capture remain explicit unsupported states.
3. Phase 3 — Complete the first useful path. Implement the workflow's input, review and output interface, with clear controls and explicit empty/error states. Commit related database changes in one transaction. Use version checks for competing edits and an outbox for external notifications; retry delivery independently of saving the record.
4. Phase 4 — Permissions and integration failure. Authorize every record read and mutation on the server using its workspace membership; validate payloads, protect mutations against CSRF, and escape user-authored HTML. Request integration credentials and permissions only for the enabled feature; show a disconnected state instead of mock results.
5. Phase 5 — Portable handoff. Export versioned JSON plus attachments and a readable CSV summary. Restore into a separate database and compare record IDs and attachment checksums before switching. Include setup, operating limits, fixture walkthrough and shutdown/restart instructions in the README.
6. Phase 6 — Acceptance scenarios. A captured password field has no value in stored HTML; clicking a replay form cannot submit to the original site, and redacted text is absent from bundled assets. Repeat the workflow after restart and with a denied permission or unavailable dependency; show recoverable failure rather than a success placeholder.

## Completion evidence
Demonstrate the prompt's acceptance scenarios against the scoped workflow. Include setup from a clean checkout and failure recovery. Check persistence across restart and export/restore only for the state the prompt says to store; for memory-only tools, confirm that temporary content is discarded as specified. Record actual results and remaining limitations. A detailed plan alone does not establish a working replacement.
