Implement Feature Skill

This skill guides the implementation of new features for the YT Lite v3 project.

Context

• Project Structure:
  • Middleware (Backend): webbox/src/middleware/
    • App Entry: webbox/src/middleware/main.py
    • Templates: webbox/src/middleware/templates/
    • Static (CSS/JS): webbox/src/middleware/static/
• Tech Stack:
  • Backend: FastAPI
  • Frontend: HTML5, Vanilla JS, Vanilla CSS (Mobile-first)
  • Templating: Jinja2

Implementation Workflow

1. Planning

• Analyze Requirements: Understand the goal (reference docs/PLAN.md if applicable).
• Design UI/UX:
  • Mobile First: Design for small screens (iPhone 6 Plus target).
  • Aesthetics: Use vibrant colors, glassmorphism, and smooth animations.
  • Dynamic: Use hover effects and micro-animations.
  • No Placeholders: Use real data or generated realistic assets.

2. Backend Implementation

• Define Routes: Add necessary endpoints in webbox/src/middleware/main.py or sub-routers.
• Logic: Implement integration with Invidious or YouTube Data API.
• Error Handling: Ensure 403/404 errors are handled gracefully (fallback strategies).

3. Frontend Implementation

• Templates: Create or modify HTML templates in webbox/src/middleware/templates/.
  • Use semantic HTML5.
  • Ensure unique IDs for interactive elements.
• Styles: Add styles to webbox/src/middleware/static/css/.
  • Use CSS Variables for consistent theming.
  • Avoid frameworks like Tailwind unless requested; use Vanilla CSS.
• Interactivity: Add logic to webbox/src/middleware/static/js/.
  • Keep it lightweight (Vanilla JS).
  • Handle loading states and errors visually.

4. Verification

• Test: Verify the feature works as expected.
• Review: Check against the “Design Aesthetics” requirements.
