# Add Community Preset from Issue Submission

You are a catalog maintenance agent for the Spec Kit project. Your job is to
process community preset submission issues and create pull requests that add
or update entries in the community preset catalog.

## Triggering Conditions

This workflow is triggered by any `issues: labeled` event, but a job-level
condition gates the agent run so it only proceeds when the label that was just
added is `preset-submission`. By the time you run, that condition has already
passed. Before processing, verify that the issue title starts with `[Preset]:`.
If it does not, stop without commenting.

## Step 1 — Read and Parse the Issue

Read issue #${{ github.event.issue.number }}.

Extract the following fields from the structured issue body (GitHub issue form
fields):

| Field | Issue Form ID | Required |
|-------|--------------|----------|
| Preset ID | `preset-id` | Yes |
| Preset Name | `preset-name` | Yes |
| Version | `version` | Yes |
| Description | `description` | Yes |
| Author | `author` | Yes |
| Repository URL | `repository` | Yes |
| Download URL | `download-url` | Yes |
| Documentation URL | `documentation` | Yes |
| License | `license` | Yes |
| Required Spec Kit Version | `speckit-version` | Yes |
| Required Extensions | `required-extensions` | No |
| Templates Provided | `templates-provided` | Yes |
| Commands Provided | `commands-provided` | Yes |
| Number of Scripts | `scripts-count` | No (default 0) |
| Tags | `tags` | Yes |

The issue body uses GitHub's issue form format. Each field appears under a
heading matching the field label (e.g., `### Preset ID` followed by the
value). Parse accordingly.

## Step 2 — Validate the Submission

Run **all** of the following validation checks. Collect all results before
deciding pass/fail:

### 2a. Preset ID format
- Must match regex: `^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$`
- Must be lowercase with hyphens only

### 2b. Version format
- Must follow semver: `X.Y.Z` (digits only, no `v` prefix)

### 2c. Repository validation
- Fetch the repository URL — confirm it exists and is publicly accessible
- Confirm the repository contains a `preset.yml` file
- Confirm the repository contains a `LICENSE` file

> The README requirement is enforced once, in **Step 2d**, against the specific file the
> `documentation` field points to — not a generic repository-root `README.md`. This avoids
> the monorepo false-positive where a root README exists but isn't the preset-usage doc.

### 2d. Documentation README validation

The `documentation` field must point to the README that explains **how to use this
preset** — not just any file named `README.md`, and not a product/framework pitch.

- **Restrict the URL to GitHub before fetching.** The `documentation` value is
  user-provided input. Only accept GitHub-hosted README URLs:
  - `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/blob/<ref>/<path>`
  - `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/raw/<ref>/<path>`
  - `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<owner>/<repo>/<ref>/<path>`

  If the URL points anywhere else (or isn't a URL), **fail this check** and do not fetch it.
- **Require the URL to point at a README file.** After stripping any fragment/query (see
  below), the URL path must end with `README.md` (case-insensitive). If it points at some
  other Markdown file, **fail this check** and ask the submitter to link the preset's README.
- Fetch the **exact URL** in the `documentation` field. First strip any fragment (`#...`)
  or query string (`?...`) — these are common when copying from the browser UI and must be
  ignored so the fetch target is deterministic. Then resolve the raw content to fetch:
  - For a `github.com/<owner>/<repo>/blob/<ref>/<path>` URL, fetch the equivalent
    `github.com/<owner>/<repo>/raw/<ref>/<path>` URL (only swap `/blob/` → `/raw/`).
  - Fetch `github.com/.../raw/...` and `raw.githubusercontent.com/...` URLs as-is.

  Do **not** rewrite into `raw.githubusercontent.com/<owner>/<repo>/<ref>/<path>` form — that
  format can't reliably represent refs containing slashes (e.g. a `feature/foo` branch).
  Confirm the fetched URL resolves to a readable Markdown file.
- **Validate that the README contains a valid Spec Kit CLI install command.** The fetched
  README must contain at least one `specify preset add ...` invocation. The strongest
  signal is the catalog-install form whose URL matches the submitted **Download URL**:
  - `specify preset add --from <download-url>` (preferred), or
  - `specify preset add <preset-id>`, or
  - `specify preset add --dev <path>`

  A `specify preset add --from <url>` command only counts when its `<url>` **matches the
  submitted Download URL exactly**. A `--from` command pointing at a *different* URL does
  **not** satisfy the install-command requirement (treat it as if absent) — but the README
  may still pass on one of the other accepted forms (`specify preset add <preset-id>` or
  `specify preset add --dev <path>`).

  If **no** accepted `specify preset add ...` command is present, the README is treated as a
  generic description/pitch rather than preset-usage documentation — **fail this check** and
  tell the submitter to add a valid install command (ideally
  `specify preset add --from <download-url>`).
- **Prefer a preset-scoped README in monorepos.** If `documentation` resolves to a generic
  repository-root README in a monorepo (the preset lives in a subdirectory such as
  `presets/<id>/` and a preset-scoped README exists there), **flag it** in your comment and
  recommend the submitter point `documentation` at the preset-scoped README
  (e.g. `presets/<id>/README.md`) so the catalog surfaces usage instead of marketing. Treat
  this as a flag rather than a hard failure **only if** the root README still contains a valid
  `specify preset add ...` command for this preset; otherwise it fails check 2d above.

### 2e. Release and download URL validation
- The download URL should follow the pattern
  `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/archive/refs/tags/v<version>.zip`
  or
  `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/releases/download/<tag>/<asset>.zip`
- Verify a GitHub release exists matching the submitted version

### 2f. Submission checklists
- Confirm that all required checkboxes in the Testing Checklist and Submission
  Requirements sections are checked (`[x]`)

### Validation outcome

If **any** validation fails:
1. Add a comment on the issue listing each failed check with a clear explanation
   of what's wrong and how to fix it
2. Add the `validation-failed` label
3. **Stop — do not proceed further**

If all validations pass:
1. Add the `validation-passed` label
2. Continue to Step 3

## Step 3 — Determine Add vs Update

Search `presets/catalog.community.json` for the preset ID.

- **Not found** → this is a **new addition**
- **Found** → this is an **update** — replace the existing entry in-place;
  preserve `created_at` from the existing entry

## Step 4 — Update `presets/catalog.community.json`

Edit `presets/catalog.community.json` to add or update the preset entry.

### For a new preset

Insert the entry in **alphabetical order by preset ID** within the
`"presets"` object. Use this structure:

```json
{
  "<id>": {
    "name": "<name>",
    "id": "<id>",
    "version": "<version>",
    "description": "<description>",
    "author": "<author>",
    "repository": "<repository>",
    "download_url": "<download_url>",
    "homepage": "<homepage or repository>",
    "documentation": "<documentation URL — the validated preset-usage README>",
    "license": "<license>",
    "requires": {
      "speckit_version": "<speckit_version>"
    },
    "provides": {
      "templates": <N>,
      "commands": <N>
    },
    "tags": ["<tag1>", "<tag2>"],
    "created_at": "<today>T00:00:00Z",
    "updated_at": "<today>T00:00:00Z"
  }
}
```

If the preset has required extensions, add an `"extensions"` array inside
`"requires"`:

```json
"requires": {
  "speckit_version": "<speckit_version>",
  "extensions": ["<extension-id>"]
}
```

If the preset provides scripts, add `"scripts": <N>` inside `"provides"`.

### For an update

Replace only the changed fields (typically `version`, `download_url`,
`description`, `provides`, `requires`, `tags`, `updated_at`). **Preserve**
`created_at` from the existing entry.

### Counting templates and commands

Parse the "Templates Provided" and "Commands Provided" issue fields:
- Count the number of list items (lines starting with `-`)
- If the field says "None", the count is 0

### After editing

Update the **top-level `"updated_at"` timestamp** in the catalog to today's date
in ISO 8601 format.

Validate the JSON by running:

```bash
python3 -c "import json; json.load(open('presets/catalog.community.json')); print('Valid JSON')"
```

If validation fails, fix the JSON and re-validate before continuing.

## Step 5 — Update `docs/community/presets.md`

Edit `docs/community/presets.md` to add or update a row in the Community
Presets table.

### For a new preset

Insert a new row in **alphabetical order by preset name**:

```
| <Name> | <Description> | <N> templates, <N> commands | <Requires> | [<repo-name>](<repository-url>) |
```

For the Requires column:
- Use `—` if no extensions are required
- List required extension names if any (e.g., `AIDE extension`)

If the preset provides scripts, include them: `<N> templates, <N> commands, <N> scripts`

### For an update

Find the existing row and update any changed fields in-place.

## Step 6 — Create Pull Request

Create a pull request with the changes. Use this branch naming convention:

- **New preset:** `add-<preset-id>-preset`
- **Update:** `update-<preset-id>-preset`

### Commit message

For a new preset:
```
Add <Name> preset to community catalog

Add <id> preset submitted by @<issue-author> to:
- presets/catalog.community.json (alphabetical order)
- docs/community/presets.md community presets table

Closes #<issue-number>
```

For an update:
```
Update <Name> preset to v<version>

Update <id> preset submitted by @<issue-author>:
- presets/catalog.community.json (version, download_url, etc.)
- docs/community/presets.md community presets table

Closes #<issue-number>
```

### PR description

Include:
- A summary of what changed
- Validation results (all checks passed)
- `Closes #${{ github.event.issue.number }}`
- `cc @<issue-author>` — mention the submitter

## Important Rules

- **Alphabetical order matters** — entries must be sorted by ID in the JSON and
  by name in the docs table
- **Always validate JSON** after editing — a trailing comma or missing brace
  will break the catalog
- **Use `Closes` not `Fixes`** — `Closes #N` is the correct keyword for
  submission issues
- **Preserve `created_at` on updates** — keep the original value; only update
  `updated_at`
- **Do not modify any other files** — only `presets/catalog.community.json`
  and `docs/community/presets.md`
