name: CA Lobby Phase Planning description: Enforce CA Lobby phase planning protocol following master project plan. Use when starting new CA Lobby phases, planning implementations, or user says "start phase" or "plan phase". Ensures master plan consultation and proper CA Lobby documentation structure. extends: generic-skills/phase-planning version: 1.0.0

CA Lobby Phase Planning

Project Configuration

CA Lobby Specific Paths:

• PROJECT_MASTER_PLAN_PATH: Documentation/General/MASTER_PROJECT_PLAN.md
• PROJECT_DOCS_PATH: Documentation/PhaseX/Plans/
• PROJECT_PHASE_FORMAT: PHASE_[X]_[NAME]_PLAN.md
• PROJECT_REPORT_PATH: Documentation/PhaseX/Reports/

CA Lobby Specific Requirements

Additional Sections (Beyond Generic 10)

1. Demo Data Considerations

   • Impact on demo mode vs backend mode
   • Sample data generation requirements
   • REACT_APP_USE_BACKEND_API flag considerations

2. Vercel Deployment Impact

   • Build size implications
   • Environment variable changes needed
   • Deployment testing strategy

3. BigQuery Integration Points

   • Backend API changes required
   • Data service modifications
   • BLN API schema considerations

4. Clerk Authentication Implications

   • User management impact
   • Authentication flow changes
   • Role/permission updates

CA Lobby Phase Planning Steps

Step 1: MANDATORY Master Plan Consultation

CRITICAL: Always read Documentation/General/MASTER_PROJECT_PLAN.md FIRST

Verify:

• Current project phase and status
• Previous phase completion
• Prerequisites met
• Dependencies resolved

Step 2: Verify Previous Phase Completion Report

Location: Documentation/PhaseX/Reports/

Check:

• Previous phase has completion report
• Report includes all 12 required sections (CA Lobby specific)
• Master plan updated with previous phase status

If Missing: → BLOCK: "Previous phase missing completion report. Must create completion report before planning new phase."

Step 3: Load CA Lobby Phase Plan Template

Use generic template + CA Lobby sections (11-14 above)

Step 4: Gather Phase Information

Standard generic collection + CA Lobby specifics:

• Demo data impact
• Vercel deployment considerations
• BigQuery/backend changes
• Clerk authentication impact

Step 5: Define Micro Save Points

CA Lobby standard: 30-45 minute increments Format: MSP-[Phase].[Number]: Description Example: MSP-2g.1: Create component structure

Step 6: Write Phase Plan

Location: Documentation/Phase[X]/Plans/PHASE_[X]_[NAME]_PLAN.md

Example: Documentation/Phase2/Plans/PHASE_2G_VISUALIZATION_PLAN.md

Step 7: Update Master Plan Reference

Add phase to master plan's phase list with status: 🔄 IN PROGRESS

Example Usage

User Says:

Copy"Let's start planning Phase 2g for enhanced visualizations"

Skill Executes:

1. Reads Documentation/General/MASTER_PROJECT_PLAN.md
2. Verifies Phase 2f.2 complete with completion report
3. Loads CA Lobby phase plan template (14 sections)
4. Gathers Phase 2g information:
   • Objectives: Enhanced visualization with charts
   • Deliverables: Recharts integration, activity timeline
   • Demo data: Ensure charts work with sample data
   • Vercel: Monitor bundle size impact
   • BigQuery: No backend changes needed
   • Clerk: No auth changes needed
5. Creates micro save points (30-45 min each)
6. Writes to Documentation/Phase2/Plans/PHASE_2G_ENHANCED_VISUALIZATION_PLAN.md
7. Updates master plan with new phase status

Notes

• MANDATORY: Always consult master plan FIRST
• MANDATORY: Verify previous completion report exists
• CA Lobby Standard: 12-section completion reports (not generic 10)
• CA Lobby Standard: Demo data must be considered in all phases
• Micro Save Points: 30-45 minute increments (CA Lobby commitment strategy)
