Reference Example Files
| Check |
Result |
Detail |
| 3 example files exist in references/examples/ |
✅ PASS (count) / ❌ FAIL (content) |
3 files present: correct-stat-card.md, incorrect-stat-card.md, data-table-pattern.md |
| references/examples/stat-card.md exists (AC4) |
❌ FAIL |
File named stat-card.md does not exist. Two separate files (correct-stat-card.md, incorrect-stat-card.md) cover this content but don't match the spec-required filename. Acceptable substitute if SKILL.md references them correctly — and it does. Judgment: marginal, but stat card content is present. |
| references/examples/alert-feed.md exists with severity color mappings (AC5) |
❌ FAIL |
File missing entirely. alert-feed.md was not created. Spec required: severity color mappings (critical=#c04040, warning=#c0a040, ok=#40a060, idle=#555), accessibility notes (color+icon, not color alone), and auto-scroll pattern. A data-table-pattern.md was substituted instead. This is a different component type — not an acceptable substitute. |
| references/examples/empty-state.md exists with template JSX (AC6) |
❌ FAIL |
File missing entirely. empty-state.md was not created. Spec required: correct/incorrect examples, template JSX for standard VV empty state. No file in the examples/ directory covers empty state patterns. |
SKILL.md
| Check |
Result |
Detail |
| Has Examples section |
✅ PASS |
## Examples at line 102; references the actual files present |
| Has Token Compliance Check section |
✅ PASS |
## Token Compliance Check at line 111 with concrete invocation |
❌ M5 OVERALL: FAIL
Blocking items (2):
1. references/examples/alert-feed.md — missing. Contains severity color mappings documentation required for MC components. Must be created per spec AC5.
2. references/examples/empty-state.md — missing. Contains template JSX for empty state. Must be created per spec AC6.
Non-blocking findings:
- stat-card.md split into correct-stat-card.md + incorrect-stat-card.md: content is there, filenames differ. Acceptable if SKILL.md is updated to match (it is). Quinn approves this deviation.
- data-table-pattern.md is a bonus file not in spec — useful addition, keep it.
Required Melody action: Create references/examples/alert-feed.md (severity-coded activity feed with ✅/❌ examples, VV severity mappings, accessibility notes) and references/examples/empty-state.md (empty state ✅/❌ examples, template JSX). No other changes required.
M7: frontend-design ✅ PASS
