Artifact Management & Plans Directory Structure

Complete guide to the artifact trail system that documents every feature implementation. This skill covers the plans/ directory structure, artifact templates, and best practices for maintaining institutional memory.


The Artifact Trail System

What: Repository of all feature planning, phase results, and completion artifacts
Where: /plans/ directory (excluded from git by default)
Who: Athena (creates plans), Temis (reviews phases), Mnemosyne (documents completion)
Why: Audit trail, knowledge transfer, resumable work, accountability


Directory Structure

code
plans/
├── .gitignore              # Exclude plans from git (optional)
├── README.md              # How to use plans directory
│
├── jwt-authentication/     # Feature 1
│   ├── plan.md            # Planning phase (Athena)
│   ├── phase-1-complete.md
│   ├── phase-2-complete.md
│   ├── phase-3-complete.md
│   └── complete.md        # Final summary (Mnemosyne)

│   ├── phase-4-complete.md
│   └── complete.md

Key Point: Each feature is a directory with time-stamped artifacts tracking every phase.


Artifact Types & Templates

1️⃣ Artifact Type: plan.md (Created by Athena)

Purpose: Detailed planning document with phases, tasks, and requirements
Created by: @athena during planning phase
Reviewed by: User (Pause Point 1)
Stored at: plans/[feature-name]/plan.md

# Feature: [Feature Name]

**Status:** APPROVED by [user/team] on [date]  
**Estimated Duration:** [X hours/days]  
**Archive Date:** [When will this feature be "done"?]

## Overview

[2-3 sentence summary of feature purpose and user value]

**Why:** [Business/user value]  
**Scope:** [What's included, what's NOT included]  
**Out of Scope:** [Explicitly list what NOT to do]

---

## Architecture Overview

[Brief architecture description]

**Technology Stack:**
- Backend: FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL
- Frontend: React 18, TypeScript, Vite
- Database: PostgreSQL 14+
- Testing: pytest, vitest

**Key Design Decisions:**
- Decision 1: [Why we chose this]
- Decision 2: [Alternative considered, why rejected]

---

## Implementation Phases (TDD-Driven)

### Phase 1: Database Schema
**Duration:** ~1-2 hours  
**Owner:** Maat  
**Files to create/modify:**
- `migrations/001_create_jwt_tokens.py` (new)
- `models/JWTToken.py` (new)
- `tests/test_jwt_token_model.py` (new)

**Test Requirements (RED phase):**

✓ JWTToken model stores user_id, token, issued_at, expires_at ✓ Token expiry validation ✓ Token revocation support ✓ Migration backward compatible ✓ Indexes on user_id + token for queries

code

**Acceptance Criteria:**
- ✅ Migration applies cleanly (up + down)
- ✅ Schema matches diagram below
- ✅ Coverage >80%

**Potential Risks:**
- Risk: Database lock during migration
- Mitigation: Use zero-downtime expand-contract strategy

---

### Phase 2: Backend Services
**Duration:** ~2-3 hours  
**Owner:** Hermes  
**Files to create/modify:**
- `services/JWTService.py` (new)
- `services/AuthService.py` (modify)
- `endpoints/auth.py` (modify)
- `tests/test_jwt_service.py` (new)
- `tests/test_auth_endpoints.py` (modify)

**Test Requirements (RED phase):**

✓ Generate JWT with claims (user_id, exp) ✓ Verify JWT signature ✓ Decode JWT securely ✓ Refresh token generation ✓ Token revocation (blacklist check) ✓ POST /auth/login returns JWT ✓ POST /auth/refresh returns new JWT ✓ GET /auth/verify validates token ✓ Expired token returns 401

code

**API Contracts:**

POST /auth/login Request: {email: string, password: string} Response: {access_token: string, refresh_token: string, expires_in: number} Error: 401 if credentials invalid

POST /auth/refresh Request: {refresh_token: string} Response: {access_token: string, expires_in: number} Error: 401 if refresh token expired

GET /auth/verify (with Authorization header) Response: {valid: boolean, user_id: number, exp: timestamp} Error: 401 if token invalid

code

**Acceptance Criteria:**
- ✅ All 8 test cases passing
- ✅ Coverage >80%
- ✅ Security: No secrets in logs
- ✅ Performance: Token verify <10ms

**Potential Risks:**
- Risk: Token expiry race condition
- Mitigation: Use server time, not client time

---

### Phase 3: Frontend Integration
**Duration:** ~2-3 hours  
**Owner:** Athena  
**Files to create/modify:**
- `components/LoginForm.tsx` (new)
- `hooks/useAuth.ts` (modify)
- `utils/tokenStorage.ts` (new)
- `tests/LoginForm.test.tsx` (new)
- `tests/useAuth.test.ts` (modify)

**Test Requirements (RED phase):**

✓ LoginForm renders email + password inputs ✓ Form submission calls auth API ✓ Success stores tokens in secure storage ✓ Error displays validation message ✓ useAuth hook reads token from storage ✓ useAuth provides logout function ✓ Logout clears tokens ✓ Expired token triggers re-login ✓ WCAG AA accessibility

code

**Component Contracts:**
```typescript
// LoginForm.tsx
interface LoginFormProps {
  onLoginSuccess: () => void;
  onError?: (error: string) => void;
}

// useAuth.ts
interface AuthState {
  isLoggedIn: boolean;
  user?: User;
  login: (email: string, password: string) => Promise<void>;
  logout: () => void;
  refreshToken: () => Promise<void>;
}

Acceptance Criteria:

  • ✅ LoginForm accepts email + password
  • ✅ Tokens stored securely (not localStorage)
  • ✅ Auto-refresh on token expiry
  • ✅ WCAG AA compliant
  • ✅ Coverage >80%

Potential Risks:

  • Risk: Token XSS vulnerability
  • Mitigation: Use secure cookie or httpOnly storage

FAQ

Q: What if a phase takes longer than estimated?
A: Report immediately. Adjust timeline. No hidden delays.

Q: Can phases run in parallel?
A: Yes! After schema is done (Phase 1), Backend (Phase 2) and Frontend (Phase 3) can run in parallel.

Q: What if we discover a design issue mid-phase?
A: Document decision in phase-N-complete.md. Discuss with team. Proceed if minor, revisit plan if major.

## Security Audit (Temis Review)

**OWASP Top 10 Check:**
- ✅ A01 Broken Access Control: Token validation implemented
- ✅ A02 Cryptographic Failures: bcrypt + secure random (not MD5)
- ✅ A03 Injection: Parameterized queries only
- ✅ A04 Insecure Design: Rate limiting on login (5 attempts/min)
- ✅ A05 Security Misconfiguration: Secrets from env, not hardcoded
- ✅ A06 Vulnerable Components: Dependencies up-to-date
- ✅ A07 Auth Failures: Proper timeout + refresh logic
- ✅ A08 Software Data Integrity: Signed JWTs
- ✅ A09 Logging & Monitoring: Errors logged with context
- ✅ A10 SSRF: No external calls in token flow

**Additional Security Checks:**
- ✅ No SQL injection vulnerabilities
- ✅ No hardcoded secrets/credentials in code
- ✅ No sensitive data in logs
- ✅ No XXE vulnerabilities
- ✅ CORS properly configured
- ✅ API rate limiting enabled

**Result:** ✅ APPROVED

---

## Performance Analysis

### Backend
- Token generation: 2.3ms (target <5ms) ✅
- Token verification: 1.8ms (target <5ms) ✅
- Database queries: 0 N+1 detected ✅
- Memory usage: No leaks detected ✅

### Frontend
- LoginForm render time: 12ms (target <50ms) ✅
- Token storage/retrieval: 0.5ms (target <5ms) ✅
- No console errors ✅
- Accessibility score: 98/100 ✅

### Database
- Migration forward: 45ms ✅
- Migration backward: 38ms ✅
- Index creation: 12ms ✅
- Query performance: All <100ms ✅

**Result:** ✅ APPROVED

---

## Deployment Considerations

### Backward Compatibility
- ✅ Existing auth flow unchanged
- ✅ No database schema breaking changes
- ✅ New endpoints are additive only
- ✅ Frontend works with or without tokens

### Zero-Downtime Deployment
1. Deploy backend first (adds JWT endpoints, doesn't remove old)
2. Wait 5 minutes for load balancers
3. Deploy frontend (uses new endpoints)
4. Monitor 15 minutes for errors
5. Remove old auth endpoints (next release)

### Rollback Plan
- If critical issue: Revert frontend first
- Then revert backend (JWT endpoints still live, no harm)
- Database migration reversible (alembic downgrade)

---

## Decisions Made This Phase

**Decision 1: JWT vs Session Tokens**
- Chosen: JWT (stateless, scalable)
- Alternative: Session tokens (stateful, simpler auth)
- Reason: Microservices future-proof, no server-side state

**Decision 2: Refresh Token in Secure Cookie vs Response**
- Chosen: HttpOnly secure cookie (XSS protected)
- Alternative: Response body (easier to refresh)
- Reason: Better security for web, httpOnly prevents JS access

**Decision 3: Token Expiry Time**
- Chosen: 15 minutes access + 7 days refresh
- Alternative: 1 hour access + 30 days refresh
- Reason: Better security balance for typical usage

---

## Test Coverage Map

Total Coverage: 95%

app/services/jwt.py ████████████████████ 96% endpoints/auth.py ███████████████████░ 95% models/jwt_token.py ████████████████████ 100% views/login.tsx ███████████████████░ 94% hooks/useAuth.ts ████████████████░░░░ 88%

Lines NOT covered (5%):

  • jwt.py line 156: Error fallback (rarely hit)
  • auth.py line 203: Redis connection error (retry logic)
  • useAuth.ts line 89: Old browser compatibility (IE11 fallback)
code

---

## Lessons Learned

**What Went Well:**
- ✅ TDD approach caught edge cases early
- ✅ Parallel phases (backend + frontend) saved 2 hours
- ✅ Good API contract specs prevented rework
- ✅ Security audit early prevented late fixes

**What Could Improve:**
- ⚠️ Database indexes added late (should be in plan)
- ⚠️ Frontend storage decision changed mid-phase (sync earlier)
- ⚠️ Edge case: token refresh race condition (add test)

**Recommendations for Next Time:**
- Start performance benchmarks earlier
- Lock API contracts before implementation
- Include index strategy in database phase plan

## Next Steps

1. ✅ Phase N approved for production
2. 🔄 Prepare Phase N+1 (Frontend integration)
3. 📋 User: Review & commit this phase
4. 🚀 After all phases: Deploy to staging & QA

Token revocation requires server-side checkImplement token blacklist in RedisMedium
No password reset flowWill add in Phase 4Medium
No email verificationWill add in Phase 5Low
Mobile app support limitedNeed native OAuth flowHigh

Recommendations for Next Feature

  1. Lock API contracts earlier - Save rework time
  2. Performance benchmarks from phase 1 - Not phase 3
  3. Include database indexes in plan - Not added after
  4. Earlier security review - Don't wait for final phase
  5. More integration tests - Catch cross-layer issues

## Best Practices

### ✅ DO

✅ **Create plan.md BEFORE starting implementation**
- Prevents rework
- Communicates design early
- Gets user buy-in before effort

✅ **Complete phase-N-complete.md AFTER Temis approves**
- Documents what actually happened (vs what was planned)
- Shows metrics & decisions made
- Creates audit trail

✅ **Store in plans/[feature-name]/ directory**
- Organized by feature
- Easy to find all artifacts for one feature
- Can archive old features

✅ **Use standardized templates**
- Consistency across team
- Easier to read/search
- Reduces documentation work

✅ **Update artifacts as you learn**
- Decisions change mid-phase - document why
- Metrics differ from estimates - explain
- Risks emerge - explain mitigation

✅ **Reference artifacts in git commits**
```bash
git commit -m "feat: Add JWT service

See: plans/jwt-auth/phase-2-complete.md for details
Coverage: 96%, Security: ✅, Tests: 24/24 passing"

❌ DON'T

DON'T skip planning (Athena)

  • Leads to mid-phase redesign
  • Costs 2-3x more time
  • Increases bugs

DON'T skip TDD

  • Tests written after code miss edge cases
  • Coverage looks good but isn't
  • Bugs escape to production

DON'T skip code review (Temis)

  • Security issues not caught
  • Performance problems not fixed
  • Technical debt accumulates

DON'T leave artifacts empty

  • Future team doesn't know what happened
  • Can't learn from past decisions
  • Repeats same mistakes

DON'T make phase-N-complete.md AFTER final commit

  • Metrics might be old
  • Changes forgotten
  • Document as-you-go
