GOAL

Explore and document the frontend of a card-game stats app: index.html's structure and navigation, data loading model, player.html/players/ directory, and style.css conventions, without making any changes.

  1. Prompt · +0
    Thoroughly explore the frontend of merchantscroll: index.html structure/navigation, data loading, player.html/players dir, style.css conventions. Cite line numbers. Do NOT modify anything.
  2. Agent did · +0m
    Globbed the repo, grepped for charting libs and fetch/data-loading patterns, then read the first ~600 lines of index.html and top of style.css.
  3. Agent did · +0m
    Read through index.html in 400-line chunks up to line ~2000, located player.html-related files, and counted lines/bytes of both main files.
  4. Agent did · +0m
    Read docs/features/player-profile.md and src/player_stats.py, src/deck_stats.py for backend data model context, then grepped style.css for CSS variable and section markers.
  5. Agent did · +0m
    Inspected build_index.py, sample test fixtures, pipeline.py, and the players/ directory glob to map how player data files are generated and consumed.
  6. Agent did · +0m
    Cross-referenced profile-related CSS classes, service worker/manifest files, and remaining style.css sections to finish the citation map.
  7. Outcome · +0m
    Delivered a full report: vanilla JS SPA, ~1,995-line index.html with external ~1,682-line style.css, no framework/charting library, DOM-based views, data model, and player.html/players/ role documented with line-number citations.
VERDICT

I'd keep this as a pure read-only exploration prompt next time too — being explicit that no files should be modified kept the agent from trying to 'helpfully' refactor anything while mapping the codebase. The thoroughness paid off: it found there's no charting library and no true tabbed UI, which changes how I'd scope any follow-up feature work. No corrections were needed since it stayed in read-only tool calls throughout.
