Featurebase

WORKING SLICE
Collect feedback from a small embedded widget, triage it into a public board and publish status updates through a changelog. Give moderators duplicate-merge previews and keep private support context out of public posts.

Build this scoped Featurebase-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: integrated suite, AI, custom domains, SSO, and hosted delivery; large participant panel

Data model and correctness
feedback posts, unique voters, statuses, changelog entries, widget installations and merge records
Invariant: A widget key identifies a site but grants no moderator powers; merging feedback does not expose private customer notes.
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: Collect feedback from a small embedded widget, triage it into a public board and publish status updates through a changelog. Give moderators duplicate-merge previews and keep private support context out of public posts. Record prerequisites, select representative user-owned fixtures and document the unsupported features: integrated suite, AI, custom domains, SSO, and hosted delivery; large participant panel
2. Phase 2 — Durable model. Model feedback posts, unique voters, statuses, changelog entries, widget installations and merge records Add migrations or a versioned document format, explicit validation, stable IDs and a visible import-error report. Preserve this rule: A widget key identifies a site but grants no moderator powers; merging feedback does not expose private customer notes.
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. Submit feedback from a configured origin, merge a duplicate and retain a single vote per user; a public visitor cannot read private triage notes. Repeat the workflow after restart and with a denied permission or unavailable dependency; show recoverable failure rather than a success placeholder.

Acceptance
Submit feedback from a configured origin, merge a duplicate and retain a single vote per user; a public visitor cannot read private triage notes.
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 Featurebase

## Project scope
Collect feedback from a small embedded widget, triage it into a public board and publish status updates through a changelog. Give moderators duplicate-merge previews and keep private support context out of public posts.

Catalogue verdict: kinda. The core loop is buildable, but a dependable replacement becomes a real weekend or multi-day project. For Featurebase, run a feedback portal, changelog, roadmap, and lightweight support widget. The hard boundary is integrated suite, ai, custom domains, sso, and hosted delivery, plus participant network, synthesis workflow, and collaboration.
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: integrated suite, AI, custom domains, SSO, and hosted delivery; large participant panel

## Stack and 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.
- Domain model: feedback posts, unique voters, statuses, changelog entries, widget installations and merge records

## Security and data integrity
- Authorize every record read and mutation on the server using its workspace membership; validate payloads, protect mutations against CSRF, and escape user-authored HTML.
- Correctness boundary: A widget key identifies a site but grants no moderator powers; merging feedback does not expose private customer notes.
- 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.
- Export versioned JSON plus attachments and a readable CSV summary. Restore into a separate database and compare record IDs and attachment checksums before switching.

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 Featurebase-inspired workflow with owned or clearly labeled sample data: Collect feedback from a small embedded widget, triage it into a public board and publish status updates through a changelog. Give moderators duplicate-merge previews and keep private support context out of public posts.
- Publish a reproducible walkthrough with this observable result: Submit feedback from a configured origin, merge a duplicate and retain a single vote per user; a public visitor cannot read private triage notes.
- Explain who can operate this scoped tool, its setup and ongoing costs, and these remaining product gaps: integrated suite, AI, custom domains, SSO, and hosted delivery; large participant panel Avoid guaranteed savings, performance scores or implied endorsement.

## 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.
