**Status**: ✅ Complete
**Date**: 2026-01-31

## Overview

This document describes the implementation of interactive wizards for complex project operations in TraceRTM CLI. The wizards provide step-by-step guidance for users performing complex tasks, improving user experience and reducing errors.

## Implemented Wizards

### 1. Project Initialization Wizard (`init-interactive`)

**Command**: `rtm project init-interactive`

**Purpose**: Guide users through creating a new TraceRTM project with all necessary configuration.

**Steps**:
1. **Project Name** - Prompts for project name with validation (checks for duplicates)
2. **Description** - Prompts for project description (with sensible default)
3. **GitHub Integration** - Asks whether to enable GitHub integration
4. **Jira Integration** - Asks whether to enable Jira integration
5. **Initial Views** - Prompts for views to enable (FEATURE, CODE, TEST, etc.)

**Features**:
- ✅ Input validation at each step
- ✅ Duplicate project name detection
- ✅ Configuration preview before creation
- ✅ Confirmation prompt
- ✅ Multi-step progress indicator during setup
- ✅ Creates view directories with README files
- ✅ Sets up integration config placeholders
- ✅ Success panel with detailed project information
- ✅ Graceful cancellation (Ctrl+C handling)

**Setup Steps Performed**:
1. Creates project directory structure
2. Initializes database with project record
3. Sets up enabled view directories
4. Configures integration placeholders
5. Sets project as current context

**Output**:
```

## Technical Implementation

### UI Components Used

All wizards leverage the TraceRTM CLI UI component system:

1. **Wizard Class** (`tracertm.cli.ui.prompts.Wizard`)
   - Manages multi-step workflows
   - Stores step results for dependent steps
   - Displays step progress (Step X/Y)

2. **Prompt Components** (`rich.prompt.Prompt`, `Confirm`)
   - Text input with validation
   - Boolean confirmation dialogs
   - Default value support

3. **Progress Indicators** (`tracertm.cli.ui.progress.multi_step_progress`)
   - Visual progress tracking during long operations
   - Step-by-step advancement
   - Spinner and progress bar

4. **Panels** (`tracertm.cli.ui.components`)
   - `success_panel()` - Success messages with details
   - `error_panel()` - Error messages with help text
   - `warning_panel()` - Warning messages
   - `info_panel()` - Informational messages
   - Rich `Panel` - Configuration summaries

### Code Structure

Each wizard follows this pattern:

```python
@app.command("operation-interactive")
def operation_interactive() -> None:
    """Interactive wizard for operation."""
    try:
        # Create wizard
        wizard = Wizard("Title")

        # Define step functions with validation
        def get_step_1() -> ReturnType:
            while True:
                value = Prompt.ask("Question")
                if validate(value):
                    return value
                console.print("[red]Error message[/red]")

        # Add steps
        wizard.add_step("step_name", get_step_1)

        # Run wizard
        results = wizard.run()

        # Show summary and confirm
        console.print(Panel("Summary"))
        if not Confirm.ask("Proceed?"):
            raise typer.Exit(0)

        # Execute with progress tracking
        with multi_step_progress(steps) as (progress, task):
            # Perform operations
            progress.update(task, advance=1)

        # Show success
        console.print(success_panel("Success!", details))

    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        console.print("[yellow]Cancelled[/yellow]")
        raise typer.Exit(0)
    except Exception as e:
        console.print(error_panel("Error", str(e)))
        raise typer.Exit(1)
```

### Input Validation

All wizards implement robust input validation:

- **Project Names**: Check for empty strings, duplicates, invalid characters
- **File Paths**: Verify existence, check file format, validate content
- **Boolean Choices**: Use `Confirm.ask()` with sensible defaults
- **List Inputs**: Parse comma-separated values, validate against allowed options

### Error Handling

- `KeyboardInterrupt` - Graceful cancellation message
- `Exception` - Error panel with details
- Validation errors - Inline error messages with retry
- File errors - Clear error messages with path details

---

## Integration Points

### Storage Manager
- Creates project storage directories
- Manages database sessions
- Handles markdown file creation

### Config Manager
- Sets current project context
- Stores database URL
- Manages project preferences

### View Registry
- Validates view types
- Provides view metadata
- Ensures valid view configuration

### Project Backup Service
- Handles project cloning logic
- Manages ID remapping
- Preserves project structure

---

## User Experience Improvements

### Before (Non-Interactive)
```bash
# User must remember all options
rtm project init my-project --description "..." --views FEATURE,CODE,TEST
# Error: project exists, no guidance
# Must run separate commands for integrations
```

### After (Interactive)
```bash
# Simple command
rtm project init-interactive

# Guided through each step with:
# - Validation
# - Helpful hints
# - Visual progress
# - Configuration preview
# - Clear success/error messages
```

### Benefits
- ✅ Reduced cognitive load
- ✅ Fewer errors
- ✅ Better discoverability
- ✅ Clearer feedback
- ✅ Consistent UX across commands

## Related Commands

### Non-Interactive Equivalents

Each wizard has a non-interactive equivalent for scripting:

| Interactive Command | Non-Interactive Equivalent |
|---------------------|---------------------------|
| `init-interactive` | `init <name> [--description] [...]` |
| `import-interactive` | `import <file> [--name] [--markdown]` |
| `clone-interactive` | `clone <source> <target> [--items] [--links]` |

### When to Use Each

**Use Interactive Wizards When**:
- Learning the system
- Creating new projects
- Unsure of available options
- Want guided experience

**Use Non-Interactive Commands When**:
- Automating workflows
- Scripting deployments
- Know exact options needed
- CI/CD pipelines

---

## Conclusion

The interactive wizards significantly improve the user experience for complex project operations in TraceRTM CLI. By providing step-by-step guidance, validation, and clear feedback, these wizards make it easier for users to:

- Create properly configured projects
- Import existing data safely
- Clone projects with confidence
- Understand available options
- Avoid common errors

All three wizards are production-ready and provide consistent, high-quality user experience through the shared UI component system.
