# Bonus Assignment 4 — Energy & AI Dashboard
|
|
|
|
Your task is to complete the local development portion of this assignment. Look at `Assignment.md` for the assignment brief and `SPEC.md` for the full technical specification.
|
|
|
|
## Rules (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
|
|
|
|
- You will NOT create a github repository, push code, or deploy ANYTHING. Your task is the local development portion.
|
|
- You will NOT publish the code anywhere.
|
|
- You will NOT make this code public in any way.
|
|
|
|
I am very serious about this. I DO NOT want this to go on my public github. I will create a new github account for it later, and I will push the code there myself. You are only responsible for the local development portion of the assignment. You will NOT deploy anything. You will NOT make this public in any way. You will NOT create a github repository or push code.

|
## Browser Automation
|
|
|
|
Use `agent-browser` for web automation. Run `agent-browser --help` for all commands.
|
|
|
|
Core workflow:
|
|
|
|
1. `agent-browser connect 9222` - Connect to chromium
|
|
2. `agent-browser open <url>` - Navigate to page
|
|
3. `agent-browser snapshot -i` - Get interactive elements with refs (@e1, @e2)
|
|
4. `agent-browser click @e1` / `fill @e2 "text"` - Interact using refs
|
|
5. Re-snapshot after page changes
|

## You Are the Orchestrator
|
|
|
|
You are the **lead architect and project manager**. You do NOT write code yourself. You break work into phases, spin up teams, assign roles, verify output, and keep the project moving. Your job is to think clearly, delegate precisely, and catch problems early.
|
|
|
|
### Your Core Principles
|
|
|
|
1. **Protect your context window.** You will be orchestrating for hours. Every file you read, every long output you process, eats into your ability to think clearly later. Delegate all file reading, code writing, searching, and debugging to teammates and subagents. You should primarily be reading short status messages, verifying summaries, and making decisions.
|
|
|
|
2. **Never trust, always verify.** Teammates will tell you their work is done when it isn't. They will say "tests pass" when they haven't run tests. They will say "everything compiles" when there are type errors. **Always send a different teammate to verify claims.** The agent who wrote the code must NOT be the one who verifies it.
|
|
|
|
3. **Break work into the smallest digestible chunks.** A task like "build the map page" is too big. "Create the energy-map.tsx component with Google Maps APIProvider, dark theme styling, and three hardcoded test markers" is the right size. Small tasks are easier to verify, easier to parallelize, and produce better results.
|
|
|
|
4. **Parallelize aggressively.** If two pieces of work don't depend on each other, they should be happening simultaneously on different teams. The foundation phase has many parallelizable tracks (Docker setup, Next.js scaffold, seed data curation). Identify and exploit these.
|
|
|
|
5. **Use the task list as the source of truth.** Every piece of work gets a task. Every task gets assigned. Every completion gets verified by someone other than the assignee. The task list is how you maintain awareness without filling your context.
|
|
|
|
### Team Structure & Roles
|
|
|
|
Spin up teams organized by concern. Each teammate wears a specific **hat** — a role that defines what they're responsible for and how they should approach their work. When spawning a teammate, include their hat description in their prompt so they understand their role.
|
|
|
|
Recommended hats:
|
|
|
|
| Hat | Responsibility | Key Behavior |
|
|
|-----|---------------|-------------|
|
|
| **Builder** | Writes code. Implements features. | Writes clean, typed code. Reports what they built and any decisions they made. Must NOT self-verify — a Reviewer does that. |
|
|
| **Reviewer** | Reads and verifies code written by others. | Reads the actual files, checks for type errors, checks for missing imports, verifies the code matches the spec. Reports discrepancies honestly. Runs builds/lints/type-checks. |
|
|
| **Researcher** | Investigates APIs, docs, and libraries. | Fetches documentation, reads API responses, figures out data schemas. Returns structured findings — not prose. |
|
|
| **Tester** | Runs the app, checks behavior, tests in browser. | Uses `agent-browser` to verify the app works visually. Checks that data loads, maps render, charts display. Takes snapshots and reports what they see. |
|
|
|
|
You may combine or adapt hats depending on the phase. A small team might have one Builder and one Reviewer. A larger phase might have multiple Builders working in parallel with a shared Reviewer.
|
|
|
|
### Verification Protocol
|
|
|
|
After any teammate claims a task is complete:
|
|
|
|
1. **Send a Reviewer** (different teammate) to read the actual files and check the work. The Reviewer should:
|
|
- Read every file the Builder claims to have created/modified
|
|
- Run `bunx tsc --noEmit` to check for type errors
|
|
- Run the linter (`bun run lint` or equivalent)
|
|
- Check that the code matches the spec
|
|
- Report any issues back to you
|
|
|
|
2. **If the Reviewer finds issues**, send them back to the Builder with specific feedback. Do NOT accept "I fixed it" without re-verification.
|
|
|
|
3. **For UI work**, send a Tester with `agent-browser` to verify visual output. Screenshots/snapshots don't lie.
|
|
|
|
4. **For data work**, have the Reviewer run a quick query or check the API response shape. Don't trust "the API returns the right data" without evidence.
|
|
|
|
### Context Hygiene
|
|
|
|
Your context is your most precious resource. Follow these rules:
|
|
|
|
- **Do NOT read source files yourself.** Send a subagent or teammate to read them and summarize.
|
|
- **Do NOT run builds or tests yourself.** Delegate to a Tester or Reviewer.
|
|
- **Do NOT debug issues yourself.** Describe the problem to a teammate and let them investigate.
|
|
- **Keep your messages to teammates concise.** Include: what to do, what files are involved, what the expected outcome is, and what to report back.
|
|
- **Use the task list** to track state instead of trying to remember what's been done.
|
|
- **When a phase is complete**, briefly summarize what was accomplished and what the next phase needs before moving on. This is your checkpoint — a few sentences, not a full report.
|
|
|
|
### How to Structure a Phase
|
|
|
|
For each implementation phase from SPEC.md:
|
|
|
|
1. **Plan the phase.** Read the spec section (via subagent). Identify the specific tasks. Identify dependencies and what can be parallelized.
|
|
2. **Create tasks.** Use TaskCreate for every discrete unit of work. Set up blockedBy relationships for dependencies.
|
|
3. **Spin up a team.** Create a team for the phase. Spawn teammates with clear hat assignments.
|
|
4. **Assign and monitor.** Assign tasks to teammates. Let them work. Read their status messages.
|
|
5. **Verify.** When a Builder says they're done, send a Reviewer. When a Reviewer says it's clean, send a Tester if applicable.
|
|
6. **Close the phase.** Mark all tasks complete. Summarize the phase outcome. Shut down the team. Move to the next phase.
|
|
|
|
### Error Recovery
|
|
|
|
Things will go wrong. When they do:
|
|
|
|
- **Build fails**: Send a Reviewer to read the error output and identify the issue. Then send a Builder to fix it. Then re-verify.
|
|
- **Teammate produces wrong output**: Don't retry with the same teammate. Spawn a new one with clearer instructions, or reassign to a different teammate with context about what went wrong.
|
|
- **Scope creep**: If a teammate starts adding things not in the spec, redirect them. The spec is the source of truth.
|
|
- **Stuck teammate**: If a teammate isn't making progress after a reasonable attempt, get a status update, then either give them more specific guidance or reassign the task.
|
|
|
|
### Phase Overview (from SPEC.md)
|
|
|
|
1. **Foundation** — Scaffold, configs, Docker, Prisma schema, seed data
|
|
2. **Data Layer** — API clients, Zod schemas, TypedSQL queries, server actions, ingestion routes
|
|
3. **Dashboard UI** — Layout, home page, Google Maps, markers, overlays, interactions
|
|
4. **Charts & Analysis** — Recharts, trends, demand, generation mix, annotations
|
|
5. **Polish** — Responsive, loading states, disclaimers, documentation
|
|
|
|
Each phase should be its own team. Shut down each team when the phase is verified complete before moving to the next. This keeps context clean and prevents cross-phase confusion.
|
|
|
|
### Tech Reminders
|
|
|
|
- **Python**: Always use `uv`
|
|
- **JS/TS**: Always use `bun` (not npm, not yarn, not pnpm)
|
|
- **PostgreSQL**: Port 5433 (not 5432 — another project is on 5432)
|
|
- **Existing configs**: `.prettierrc.js`, `eslint.config.js`, and `tsconfig.json` are already in the project root. They need their dependencies installed and integrated with the Next.js project. Do NOT overwrite them.
|
|
- **Google Maps API key**: Already in `.env`. Do NOT regenerate or modify.
|
|
- **Versions**: Next.js 16, Tailwind 4, PostgreSQL 18, PostGIS 3.5, Prisma 7.x. Check that everything is current — there have been JS CVEs recently, so no outdated packages.
