Vibecode Motion

You are building a lean indie version of Motion.

Create the following project files first, then implement the application by following them. Keep the files updated as decisions change. Do not collapse this into a single README or prompt.

===== README.md =====
# Motion indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Motion workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Create tasks with duration/deadline/priority, read calendar availability, solve a schedule, and write time blocks back.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- multi-calendar sync
- recurring work rules
- mobile apps
- team scheduling
- polished rescheduling
- support

If those capabilities are essential, use FlowSavvy Free instead of pretending the gap is solved.

===== AGENTS.md =====
# Agent instructions

- Optimize for a working, understandable weekend build.
- Prefer the fewest moving parts that satisfy the brief.
- Do not invent cryptography, security guarantees, APIs, or compliance claims.
- Keep secrets out of source control and logs.
- Add focused tests for destructive, security-sensitive, and data-loss paths.
- Run the project checks before declaring the build complete.
- Record any deliberate shortcut in the README under "Tradeoffs".

===== BUILD_PLAN.md =====
# Build plan

## Original build brief

Build me a personal task auto-scheduler to replace Motion. Requirements:

- Node + better-sqlite3 + googleapis. Tasks in SQLite: title, duration estimate,
  deadline, priority, done. A small Express page on localhost:4920 to add and edit
  tasks, plus a `plan` CLI command.
- Read my Google Calendar free/busy for the next 14 days (OAuth token cached
  locally); respect working hours 09:00-18:00 and a lunch block, both set in
  config.json.
- The planner is greedy, not clever: earliest deadline first, weighted by priority,
  packing tasks into free slots in 30-minute increments and splitting anything over
  90 minutes into chunks.
- Write the plan back as calendar events with a [plan] prefix. Replanning deletes
  only [plan] events and relays them, never touching real meetings.
- Overdue or unschedulable tasks show in red on the web page instead of being
  silently dropped.
- A 07:30 node-cron run replans the day and emails me the schedule (SMTP in .env).
- Single user, local only, no accounts, no telemetry beyond the Google API calls.
- Out of scope: team scheduling, mobile apps, and meeting-invite handling. It plans
  my solo work around a calendar it treats as read-only truth.
- README: the Google Cloud console OAuth setup. Budget an hour for that alone.

## Required capabilities

- Google/Microsoft calendar OAuth
- scheduling algorithm
- hosted backend
- notifications
- task database

## Delivery order

1. Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
2. Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
3. Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
4. Cover the critical path with automated tests.
5. Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.

## Done when

- A new user can go from clone to first successful workflow using only the README.
- The core workflow works without paid infrastructure unless the brief requires it.
- Tests cover the highest-risk behavior.
- Known limitations are explicit rather than hidden.

You are building a production product version of Motion.

Create the following project files first, then implement the application by following them. Keep the files updated as decisions change. Do not collapse this into a single README or prompt.

===== PRODUCT.md =====
# Motion product brief

## Problem

You can build an auto-scheduler for your own tasks, but robust calendar conflict handling, integrations, and productized rescheduling take real engineering.

## Product outcome

Create tasks with duration/deadline/priority, read calendar availability, solve a schedule, and write time blocks back.

## Target user

A serious builder who needs a maintainable product foundation rather than a one-off demo.

## Required capabilities

- Google/Microsoft calendar OAuth
- scheduling algorithm
- hosted backend
- notifications
- task database

## Explicit non-goals for v1

- multi-calendar sync
- recurring work rules
- mobile apps
- team scheduling
- polished rescheduling
- support

## Success criteria

- The primary workflow is measurable end to end.
- Setup is reproducible in a clean environment.
- Failure, recovery, and support paths are documented.
- Product claims match what the implementation actually guarantees.

===== ARCHITECTURE.md =====
# Architecture

## Starting brief

Build me a personal task auto-scheduler to replace Motion. Requirements:

- Node + better-sqlite3 + googleapis. Tasks in SQLite: title, duration estimate,
  deadline, priority, done. A small Express page on localhost:4920 to add and edit
  tasks, plus a `plan` CLI command.
- Read my Google Calendar free/busy for the next 14 days (OAuth token cached
  locally); respect working hours 09:00-18:00 and a lunch block, both set in

- Out of scope: team scheduling, mobile apps, and meeting-invite handling. It plans
  my solo work around a calendar it treats as read-only truth.
- README: the Google Cloud console OAuth setup. Budget an hour for that alone.

## Boundaries

Separate the product into replaceable modules for interface, application logic, persistence, external integrations, and operational concerns. Keep domain logic independent from delivery frameworks and vendors.

## Production baseline

- Configuration: validated at startup with safe local defaults where possible.
- Security: least privilege, input validation, secret redaction, rate limits on abuse-prone paths, and no invented security primitives.
- Data: explicit schema and migrations, transactional writes where integrity matters, backup and restore instructions.
- Integrations: adapters around third-party providers, idempotent webhook or job processing, bounded retries, and timeouts.
- Observability: structured logs with request or operation IDs, an error-tracking hook, and health/readiness checks where a server exists.
- Quality: unit tests for domain rules, integration tests at module boundaries, and one end-to-end critical-path test.

## Decision records

For each major dependency, document why it was chosen, its failure mode, and how it can be replaced. Do not introduce infrastructure until a requirement justifies it.

===== AGENTS.md =====
# Agent instructions

- Read `PRODUCT.md` and `ARCHITECTURE.md` before changing code.
- Implement milestone by milestone; keep each change reviewable and leave the application runnable.
- Treat authentication, payments, encryption, imports, webhooks, and destructive actions as high-risk boundaries when present.
- Never invent cryptography or silently weaken a requirement to make a test pass.
- Use provider interfaces for external services and deterministic fakes in tests.
- Add migrations and rollback or recovery notes for persistent data changes.
- Log useful operational context without credentials, tokens, passwords, or personal data.
- Update documentation and run all checks before completing a milestone.

===== MILESTONES.md =====
# Delivery milestones

## M0 — Decisions and scaffold

- Confirm the runtime, persistence model, threat boundaries, and deployment target.
- Create a reproducible local environment and continuous checks.

## M1 — Core workflow

- Implement the smallest end-to-end product path with validation and tests.
- Keep integrations behind interfaces.

## M2 — Trust layer

- Add secure failure behavior, recovery paths, audit-relevant events, and data safeguards.
- Test abuse cases and destructive operations.

## M3 — Operability

- Add structured logs, error reporting hooks, health signals, backup/restore documentation, and deployment configuration.

## M4 — Release gate

- Run a clean-install test, critical-path end-to-end test, dependency review, and documented rollback exercise.
- Compare the shipped behavior with `PRODUCT.md` and publish remaining limitations.

===== OPERATIONS.md =====
# Operations

## Before release

- Validate configuration and secrets at startup.
- Define backup, restore, and rollback procedures and test them.
- Document logs, error tracking, health signals, and alert ownership.
- Set dependency update and vulnerability review expectations.

## Incident checklist

1. Contain the issue without destroying evidence or user data.
2. Record the timeline and affected scope.
3. Rotate exposed secrets and revoke compromised sessions or credentials.
4. Restore from a verified source when needed.
5. Document the root cause, remediation, and regression test.

## Launch constraint

Do not market omitted Motion capabilities as implemented. The v1 non-goals in `PRODUCT.md` remain user-visible limitations until they are deliberately delivered.
