# Intelligent CRUD with Auto-Scaffolding - Summary

## 🎯 Core Concept

**When you CRUD an item in ANY view, the system automatically generates/updates related items across ALL 16 views**

## 🚀 Key Features

### 1. Auto-Generation on Create
```bash
rtm create story --title "User can filter by price" --auto-generate
```

**System generates**:
- ✓ Wireframe components (slider, inputs)
- ✓ Frontend code (React components, hooks, API clients)
- ✓ Backend code (API routes, services, repositories)
- ✓ API endpoints with OpenAPI specs
- ✓ Database migrations
- ✓ Tests (unit, integration, e2e)
- ✓ Configuration items
- ✓ Monitoring metrics
- ✓ Performance requirements

**Result**: Complete feature scaffolded across all 16 views

### 2. Smart Extension
```bash
rtm extend STORY-101 --with "Add remember me checkbox"
```

**System extends**:
- ✓ Analyzes existing implementation
- ✓ Modifies existing files (not recreates)
- ✓ Adds new components where needed
- ✓ Updates tests
- ✓ Maintains consistency
- ✓ Preserves existing functionality

**Result**: Feature extended without breaking existing code

### 3. Intelligent Collapse
```bash
rtm collapse STORY-107 --cascade --analyze
```

**System analyzes**:
- ✓ Finds all linked items across 16 views
- ✓ Identifies items used only by this feature
- ✓ Identifies items shared with other features
- ✓ Shows impact analysis
- ✓ Offers options (delete, deprecate, archive)

**System cleans up**:
- ✓ Deletes orphaned code
- ✓ Updates shared code (removes references)
- ✓ Generates database migrations
- ✓ Removes config items
- ✓ Removes metrics
- ✓ Updates documentation

**Result**: Clean deletion with no orphaned artifacts

### 4. Expand with AI
```bash
rtm expand FEATURE-044 --depth 3 --ai-decompose
```

**System decomposes**:
- ✓ Uses AI to break down high-level feature
- ✓ Generates stories and tasks
- ✓ Scaffolds code for each task
- ✓ Creates appropriate links
- ✓ Maintains hierarchy

**Result**: Complete feature breakdown with scaffolding

### 5. Edit with Propagation
```bash
rtm edit STORY-101 --title "New title" --propagate
```

**System propagates**:
- ✓ Updates all code references
- ✓ Updates test names
- ✓ Updates documentation
- ✓ Updates comments
- ✓ Updates API descriptions
- ✓ Updates UI labels

**Result**: Consistent naming across entire codebase

## 📊 Auto-Generation Matrix

| Create In View | Auto-Generates In |
|----------------|-------------------|
| **Feature** | Wireframe, Code, API, Test, Database, Config, Monitoring |
| **Wireframe** | Code (component), Test, API (if needed), Feature (links) |
| **API** | Code (backend + frontend), Test, Database, Security, Monitoring |
| **Database** | Code (models, repos), API, Test, Migration |
| **Test** | Test fixtures, Helpers, Config |
| **Code** | Test (if missing), Documentation |

## 🎨 Scaffolding Templates

### Built-in Templates
1. **CRUD Template** - Complete CRUD for entity
2. **Auth Template** - Authentication flow
3. **Dashboard Template** - Dashboard with widgets
4. **Form Template** - Form with validation
5. **List Template** - List with pagination/filtering
6. **Detail Template** - Detail view
7. **Search Template** - Search functionality
8. **Export Template** - Data export
9. **Import Template** - Data import
10. **Notification Template** - Notification system

### Usage
```bash
rtm batch create --template crud --entity User
rtm batch create --template dashboard --widgets "chart,table,stats"
rtm batch create --template auth --providers "google,github"
```

## 🤖 AI-Powered Features

### Natural Language Creation
```bash
rtm create "Add a button to export user data as CSV with progress indicator"
```

**System interprets**:
- Button → Wireframe component
- Export → API endpoint + backend service
- CSV → File generation logic
- Progress indicator → WebSocket or polling
- User data → Database query

**System generates**: Complete implementation

### Context-Aware Scaffolding
- Detects framework (React, Vue, Angular)
- Detects code style (from existing code)
- Detects patterns (repository, service layer)
- Detects naming conventions
- Generates code matching project style

### Similar Example Learning
- Finds similar features in codebase
- Uses as templates for new features
- Maintains consistency
- Learns from existing patterns

## 🔗 Cross-View Consistency

### Automatic Linking
When creating in one view, system automatically:
1. Creates items in related views
2. Links them appropriately
3. Maintains referential integrity
4. Validates consistency

### Link Types Used
- `implements` - Code implements feature
- `tests` - Test validates item
- `uses` - Service uses API
- `deployed_to` - Code deployed to infrastructure
- `monitors` - Metric monitors service
- `configured_in` - Config for environment

## ✅ Validation & Safety

### Pre-Create Validation
- Check naming conventions
- Check for duplicates
- Check required links
- Check consistency

### Pre-Delete Validation
- Analyze impact
- Find all dependencies
- Show affected items
- Require confirmation

### Pre-Edit Validation
- Check for breaking changes
- Find affected items
- Validate link consistency
- Show propagation plan

## 📈 Benefits

### For Developers
- **10x faster** feature creation
- **Zero boilerplate** writing
- **Consistent code** across project
- **No orphaned code** after deletions
- **Easy refactoring** with propagation

### For Teams
- **Consistent patterns** across codebase
- **Complete traceability** maintained automatically
- **Reduced technical debt** (no orphans)
- **Faster onboarding** (scaffolding shows patterns)
- **Better documentation** (auto-generated)

### For Projects
- **Faster development** cycles
- **Higher quality** (tests auto-generated)
- **Better maintainability** (consistent structure)
- **Easier scaling** (patterns enforced)
- **Complete visibility** (all views linked)
