Tasks: Explore GitHub Page Popular Implementations and Suggest Improvements

Feature: Explore GitHub Page Popular Implementations and Suggest Improvements

Phase 1: Setup

  • T001 Set up research workspace and gather list of top/starred GitHub Pages repositories (Jekyll/Beautiful Jekyll) in specs/002-github-page-improvements/research.md
  • T002 [P] Document research findings and best practices in specs/002-github-page-improvements/research.md

Phase 2: Foundational

  • T003 Define data model for improvement suggestions and popular implementations in specs/002-github-page-improvements/data-model.md
  • T004 Define contract for improvement suggestion tracking in specs/002-github-page-improvements/contracts/improvement-suggestion.md
  • T005 Create quickstart guide for applying and tracking improvements in specs/002-github-page-improvements/quickstart.md

Phase 3: User Story 1 - Discover Best Practices (P1)

  • T006 [P] [US1] Curate and summarize best practices from top GitHub Pages sites in specs/002-github-page-improvements/research.md
  • T007 [US1] Compare current repo structure and features to best practices in specs/002-github-page-improvements/research.md
  • T008 [US1] Identify actionable improvement opportunities in specs/002-github-page-improvements/research.md

Phase 4: User Story 2 - Suggest Tailored Improvements (P2)

  • T009 [P] [US2] Generate prioritized list of improvement suggestions in specs/002-github-page-improvements/data-model.md
  • T010 [US2] Provide rationale and references for each suggestion in specs/002-github-page-improvements/data-model.md
  • T011 [US2] Map suggestions to specific files/areas (e.g., _config.yml, _includes/, assets/) in specs/002-github-page-improvements/data-model.md

Phase 5: User Story 3 - Track Applied Improvements (P3)

  • T012 [P] [US3] Implement and maintain a tracking system for suggestions (status, date, rationale) in specs/002-github-page-improvements/contracts/improvement-suggestion.md and specs/002-github-page-improvements/data-model.md; document applied improvements and their impact in README.md or a dedicated changelog; regularly review and update improvement status.

Validation and Impact Tracking for Improvements (Constitution Compliance)

  • T013 [P] For each improvement suggestion, add a manual or automated validation step (e.g., test, audit, or review) to confirm the improvement is correctly applied. Document results in suggestions.yaml and changelog. (FR-004, SC-001, Constitution: Testing Standards)
  • T014 [P] After applying each improvement, update the changelog with observed impact and user feedback (e.g., performance metrics, accessibility audit results, or user survey outcomes). (FR-005, SC-002, SC-003, Constitution: Performance, User Experience Consistency)

Final Phase: Polish & Cross-Cutting Concerns

  • T015 [P] Review accessibility, performance, and SEO improvements across the site (assets/, includes, layouts, _config.yml). (SC-004, Constitution: User Experience Consistency, Performance Requirements)
  • T016 [P] Add or update automated checks (HTMLProofer, Lighthouse, pa11y) in CI or local scripts. (SC-004, Constitution: Testing Standards, Performance Requirements)
  • T017 Update documentation and quickstart as needed in specs/002-github-page-improvements/quickstart.md. (FR-005, Constitution: Development Workflow)
  • T018 [P] Add or update linting, formatting, and dead code removal scripts/checks for Jekyll, CSS, and JS assets (code quality, constitution compliance). (Constitution: Code Quality)

Dependencies

  • Phase 1 and 2 must be completed before user story phases.
  • User stories are independent but should be implemented in priority order (US1 → US2 → US3).
  • Polish phase can be done in parallel with documentation updates.

Parallel Execution Examples

  • T002, T003, and T004 can be done in parallel after T001.
  • T006 and T009 can be done in parallel after foundational tasks.
  • T015 and T016 can be done in parallel with user story 3 tasks.

Implementation Strategy

  • MVP: Complete Phase 1, Phase 2, and User Story 1 (T001–T008)
  • Incremental delivery: Implement each user story phase independently, validate, then proceed to the next.

Task Format Validation

All tasks follow the required checklist format with unique IDs, parallelization markers, user story labels, and file paths.
