🗂️ About this portal & conventions

How this knowledge base works

Moodbook — Internal Docs Portal (knowledge database)

A single searchable internal documentation site for the Moodbook team, hosted on the shop's own domain: https://moodbook.gr/pages/team-docs (unlisted — share by link). Grouped sidebar TOC + live full-text search. Fully self-contained.

⭐ Standing rule

Every new custom app/feature we build for the e-shop is also added here. When a new tool ships, adding its docs to this portal is part of "done" — this keeps the team self-serve instead of depending on one person.

Files

  • build_docs_portal.py — the generator. Reads a curated DOCS list of .md files from across D:\Shopify Coding and emits:
  • docs-portal.html — standalone (open locally / offline).
  • <theme>/templates/page.team-docs.liquid + <theme>/snippets/team-docs-c*.liquid — the Shopify page (content chunked so each Liquid file stays < ~85 KB, under Shopify's ~100 KB per-file limit). All HTML is wrapped in {% raw %} so the docs' own Liquid examples render literally.
  • update_docs.bat — double-click to regenerate → git commit → git pull → git push. Deploy is via the Shopify GitHub integration (the live theme moodbook-theme/main #199828406604 on moodstaff.myshopify.com auto-deploys from the GitHub main branch), so a git push IS the deploy — do NOT shopify theme push.

Add a new app's docs (the whole workflow)

  1. Write the tool's doc(s) as .md (README / manual / handoff).
  2. Open build_docs_portal.py → add an entry to the DOCS list: ("Group title", [("Display title", "relative/path/to/DOC.md"), ...]) (a path may be a glob, e.g. ".../Module *.md"; missing files are skipped).
  3. Double-click update_docs.bat. Done — it's live within ~1 minute.

One-time setup (already done)

A Shopify Page with handle team-docs, assigned the team-docs theme template.

Requirements

pip install markdown (the bat installs it on first run).

🎨 Live Preview (εξατομίκευση PDP)

Live Preview — README (τεχνικό)

In-house Live Preview — production pipeline (Phase 2)

Batch tooling that turns personalized orders into print-ready covers, replacing the Cloudlift app's server export. The storefront (snippets/live-preview.liquid + assets/live-preview.js) captures each personalization into properties[_preview] (a JSON descriptor) using artwork-relative % geometry. These scripts consume that same descriptor, so what the customer saw == what prints.

Shopify order ──▶ order_to_md.py ──▶ 1 MD per cart item ──▶ stamp.py ──▶ print PDF
                                     (front-matter +        (base variant PDF
                                      ```json descriptor)    from Illustrator)

Requirements

python -m pip install pymupdf

(PIL optional for other tooling. A Greek-capable TTF is needed — Arial works for testing; Astir drops in once licensed, via --font.)

Scripts

order_to_md.py — order → descriptors

python order_to_md.py --order order.json --out-dir out/ [--covers covers.json]
  • order.json — a Shopify Admin API order (or a list). Line items without a _preview property are skipped (non-personalized).
  • --covers — optional { "<variantId>": "covers/x.pdf" } map. Falls back to the convention covers/<product>-<variantId>.pdf.
  • Emits one self-contained .md per personalized line item: readable front-matter (order, variant, base_pdf, customer_text) + the exact descriptor as a ```json block.

stamp.py — descriptor → stamped PDF

python stamp.py --descriptor out/order_1001_item_1111.md --out final.pdf [--font astir.ttf] [--verify] [--png proof.png]
  • Reads a .md (json fence + base_pdf from front-matter) or a plain .json (then pass --base).
  • Stamps each text layer at its % box, auto-shrinking to fit width (mirrors the browser fitText), with the descriptor's color/weight/alignment/uppercase.
  • --verify re-extracts the stamped text and prints its measured % center vs the descriptor box center (dx/dy should be ~0). --png writes a raster proof.

Descriptor schema (one per cart item)

{
  "v": 1, "product": "our_wedding", "variantId": 456,
  "base": "https://cdn.shopify.com/.../our_wedding-snow.png",
  "layers": [
    { "id": "title", "content": "Στη Μαρία\nκαι στον Γιώργο\nμε αγάπη",
      "multiline": true,
      "box": { "x": 12, "y": 35, "w": 76, "h": 34 },
      "font": { "family": "Astir", "url": "https://cdn.shopify.com/.../Astir.woff2",
                "sizePct": 60, "weight": 700,
                "color": "#3a2a1a", "align": "center", "transform": "none" } }
  ]
}

box and font.sizePct are % of the artwork/page — the single source of truth shared by the Illustrator artboard, the browser preview, and this stamping step. font.sizePct is the FINAL fitted size the customer saw (autofit fill or their stepped size), so print reproduces it exactly. content may contain \n; stamp.py wraps, aligns (font.align), two-axis auto-fits, and vertically centres — matching the storefront overlay exactly. base (cover URL) and font.url (font file) make the descriptor self-contained so the cart page and the order-preview viewer can re-render it without any product context; stamp.py ignores them (it uses the base PDF + a local font file).

Cart & order preview (no image hosting)

The personalised cover is never rasterised or saved — it is composed ad-hoc (base cover image + text overlay) from the descriptor everywhere it appears:

  • Cart / drawer / add-to-cart notificationassets/live-preview-cart.js (loaded globally in layout/theme.liquid) overlays the text on the base cover for each line item; click a preview to zoom. Personalised items are detected by the _preview / _preview_base line item properties.
  • Order admin verification — each item carries a hidden _preview_link = {shop}/pages/cover-preview?d=<base64 descriptor>. The merchant clicks it in the Shopify order and templates/page.cover-preview.liquid re-renders the exact zoomable cover on the shop's own domain. One cover-preview Page total (create it once: a Page whose handle is cover-preview, assigned the cover-preview template) — it is reused per order via the ?d= query param, so nothing is created per order and there is no storage.
  • Line item properties captured per personalised item: Κείμενο (visible text), _preview (descriptor), _preview_base (cover URL), _custom_product = Yes (flag to hide cash-on-delivery etc.), _preview_link (the viewer URL). The _ prefix hides a property from the customer but keeps it on the order / in the admin.

Sample fixtures (checked in)

sample_base.pdf, sample_item.json, sample_order.json, covers.json — run the full chain to self-check:

python order_to_md.py --order sample_order.json --out-dir out --covers covers.json
python stamp.py --descriptor out/order_1001_item_1111.md --out out/final.pdf --verify --png out/final.png

Expected: dx=-0.0 dy=+0.0 and «ΔΗΜΗΤΡΗΣ» centered on the cover.

Authoring config — Path A (points source of truth)

Box geometry is authored in points (artwork space) and stored per product in a live_preview_layout metaobject. The snippet converts points → % for the responsive overlay and also carries the raw points in the descriptor, so print is exact.

box-tool.html — drag-to-place → points

Open tools/live-preview/box-tool.html in a browser. Point it at the cover image, enter the artwork size in points, then drag/resize the box over the cover (or type exact values). It outputs boxPt (points), box (%), artworkPt, and font — copy the JSON straight into the metaobject fields below.

One product metafield (paste the tool output)

Create a product metafield definition once: key custom.live_preview, type JSON. Then on each product, paste the whole JSON the tool produced into that field. That's it — one field, one paste. The snippet reads box (%) for the live overlay and boxPt+artworkPt (points) for exact print. No metaobject needed.

Example value (what the tool outputs):

{ "box": {"x":25,"y":50,"w":50,"h":10},
  "artworkPt": {"w":420,"h":595}, "boxPt": {"x":105,"y":298,"w":210,"h":60},
  "font": {"family":"Astir","sizePct":70,"color":"#3a2a1a","align":"center"},
  "fonts": [ {"label":"Χειρόγραφη","family":"Astir","url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/.../Astir.woff2"} ],
  "size": {"min":40,"max":100,"step":8} }

size (optional) overrides the block's per-product size bounds — see below.

Storefront controls (theme block settings)

On the product's Live preview block (Theme editor → Product information), beyond position/colour/fonts:

  • Autofit (autofit_fill, default on): the text grows to the largest size that fits the box on both axes. The customer's text always fills the box.
  • Size +/− buttons (show_size_stepper): optional small stepper the customer uses to enlarge/shrink the text, bounded by Min / Max (size_min / size_max, % of box height) in steps of size_step. Hybrid with autofit: default = fill, − down to min, + back to fill; it never overflows. The chosen size is written to the descriptor as font.sizePct, so stamp.py prints it exactly (no script change).
  • Labels (font_label / size_label / align_label) shown above each control.
  • Tooltips (label_tip / font_tip / size_tip / align_tip): optional (i) help text next to a label; blank hides it.

The legacy "Customer font choices" (font_options) block setting was removed — customer fonts now come only from the custom.live_preview fonts array above.

box (%) is relative to the storefront cover image — load that exact image in the tool. fonts (optional, per product) is the customer font dropdown: upload each font file to Shopify Files, then add a Label | Family | URL line per font in the tool's "Customer fonts" box. The storefront loads them via @font-face and the first one is the default.

fonts_to_woff2.py — make fonts web-friendly

Convert your fonts (TTF/OTF/TTC/WOFF) to compact, web-optimised WOFF2 before uploading to Shopify Files. Requires pip install "fonttools[woff]" brotli.

python fonts_to_woff2.py --in "C:/path/to/fonts"        # a folder
python fonts_to_woff2.py --in cover.otf --out web-fonts # a single file

It writes .woff2 files and prints the family name to use for each, e.g. Astir | Astir | <paste URL> — the exact line to paste into the tool's Customer fonts box (just fill in the Shopify Files URL after uploading the .woff2). (Type1/.pfb and other non-sfnt formats need FontForge first.)

Store-side setup still required (manual)

  1. Base PDFs — export one cover PDF per color variant from Illustrator; the artboard aspect ratio must equal the storefront base image's.
  2. Per-variant base images — upload each variant's preview mockup to Shopify Files and set the variant metafield custom.preview_base_image (or leave the block's single base_image for one-variant products).
  3. Astir licensing — confirm rights to embed Astir in both the storefront @font-face and this stamping step; then pass --font path/to/astir.ttf.
  4. Order export — pull orders via Admin API (reuse the repo's export tooling: shopify-full-export.sh, export-token.txt) into order.json for order_to_md.py.
  5. Thumbnail for order confirmationassets/live-preview.js exportThumbnail() produces a client blob; wire its upload + a properties[Preview] URL (Phase 2b). ```

Live Preview — Technical handoff

In-house Live Preview — Technical Handoff

Status as of 2026-07-07. This is the context to resume work in a new session.

What it is

An in-house replacement for the Cloudlift "Live Product Options" app on the moodbook.gr PDP. The customer types a personalization (name/dedication), which is drawn live on the hero gallery image in the selected variant's colours, and captured into the order. A local pipeline turns each order into a print-ready PDF. Goal: full control, no subscription, and it removes Cloudlift (the documented CLS/LCP root cause).

Verified working on the live PoC product our_wedding (wedding planner).

Branch & deploy

  • Merged into main on 2026-07-08. All the Live Preview + cart/order preview
  • docs-portal work is on main (repo github.com/saristidis/moodbook-theme).
  • Deploy = the Shopify GitHub integration. The LIVE theme moodbook-theme/main (#199828406604) on store moodstaff.myshopify.com auto-deploys from the GitHub branch main. So deploying = git push origin main — do NOT use shopify theme push (it bypasses the integration and causes drift). The theme editor commits its own changes back as "Update from Shopify…" commits, so always git pull before you push. The dev theme #201616654668 is unpublished.
  • Non-theme repo paths (moodbook-design-system/, tools/) are ignored by the integration ("… was ignored" warnings) — expected and harmless.
  • Pending admin steps on the live theme (one-off, per page/product): 1. Assign the cover-preview template to the Cover preview Page (it uses the default template until then, so the order _preview_link renders blank). 2. Add the "Live preview (in-house)" block to the product in the live theme editor (the code is deployed but the block is not placed, so the PDP is unchanged for customers until you add it).
  • Verified live 2026-07-08: moodbook.gr/pages/team-docs serves the docs portal; the GitHub integration reported "16 succeeded, 0 failed, Theme updated!".

Knowledge database (standing convention)

Every new custom app/feature we build for the e-shop must also be added to the internal knowledge database — the searchable team docs portal (moodbook.gr/pages/team-docs). To do it: add the new tool's .md doc(s) to the DOCS list in D:\Shopify Coding\DOCS_PORTAL\build_docs_portal.py, then run D:\Shopify Coding\DOCS_PORTAL\update_docs.bat (regenerate → commit → push → the integration deploys). Treat this as part of "done" for any new e-shop app.

Files

Theme (storefront): - assets/live-preview.js — the <live-preview> custom element. Lazy-inits on first interaction; draws the text overlay on the hero image; per-variant base swap + preset colour; multi-line wrap; autofit-fill + optional −/+ size stepper (hybrid); alignment icon buttons; full-width font dropdown (each option in its own font); sets font-family with !important (beats theme rules). Captures the line item properties below. - snippets/live-preview.liquid — renders the block: reads config metafields, builds the config JSON (data-config), the controls (labels use the shop's .form__label; blank label ⇒ hidden), @font-face for custom fonts, and the debug readout. This is where all the Liquid config-reading lives. - sections/main-product.liquid — has the live_preview block type (a when case + a schema entry). Add the block to a product template via the theme editor. - assets/live-preview-cart.js — renders the personalised cover wherever a line item shows (cart page, drawer, add-to-cart notification) by overlaying the text on the base <img> from the descriptor; click-to-zoom modal; shrink-to-fit. Loaded globally in layout/theme.liquid (the drawer/notification inject HTML via the Section Rendering API, which doesn't run inline <script>s). - snippets/live-preview-cart.liquid — cart line item media for personalised items; wired into sections/main-cart-items.liquid, snippets/cart-drawer.liquid, sections/cart-notification-product.liquid. - templates/page.cover-preview.liquid — standalone (layout none, noindex) viewer that re-renders a cover from ?d=<base64 descriptor>; the order's _preview_link points here so the merchant can verify before printing. Setup: create a Page with handle cover-preview assigned to this template (one page total, reused per order via the ?d= param — nothing is created per order).

Captured line item properties (per personalised item): - Κείμενο (visible) — the customer's text. - _preview (hidden) — the JSON descriptor; the print/render source of truth. Now also carries base (cover URL) and font.url (selected font file) so it is self-contained, plus the FINAL fitted sizePct. - _preview_base (hidden) — base cover URL, so the cart shows the base <img> in Liquid natively (works without JS). - _custom_product = Yes (hidden) — flag to hide cash-on-delivery etc. for custom items; on the order + checkable in Liquid (item.properties['_custom_product']). - _preview_link (hidden) — {shop}/pages/cover-preview?d=…, clickable in the order admin to view the zoomable cover. (Underscore = hidden from the customer, shown to the merchant in admin.)

Tooling (tools/live-preview/): - box-tool.html — standalone drag-to-place tool. Load the base cover image, drag the box, add customer fonts; outputs the JSON to paste into the metafield. - fonts_to_woff2.py — converts TTF/OTF/TTC/WOFF → WOFF2 and prints each font's family name + the box-tool line. - order_to_md.py — Shopify order JSON → one MD descriptor per personalized item. - stamp.py — PyMuPDF; stamps the descriptor onto the per-variant base PDF at the same geometry (points), with wrap/align/two-axis fit. --verify, sample fixtures. - README.md — tool usage. USER_MANUAL.md — merchant setup guide (Greek).

Requires: pip install pymupdf "fonttools[woff]" brotli (all installed here).

Config model (IMPORTANT)

Two layers, both authored by the merchant, read by snippets/live-preview.liquid:

Per product — ONE product metafield custom.live_preview, type JSON. Paste the box-tool output verbatim:

{ "box": {"x":23,"y":17.7,"w":54.4,"h":20.9},   // % of the cover image (storefront)
  "artworkPt": {"w":420,"h":595}, "boxPt": {...}, // print points (for stamp.py)
  "font": {"family":"Astir","sizePct":70,"color":"#3a2a1a","align":"center"},
  "fonts": [ {"label":"Χειρόγραφη","family":"Astir","url":".../Astir.woff2"} ] }

Per variant — two Variant metafields: - custom.preview_base_image (Image/File) — the blank personalisable cover. - custom.preview_text_color (Color) — the preset text colour.

⚠️ The custom_ prefix gotcha (cost us hours)

When a metafield definition's Name is typed as custom.preview_base_image, Shopify stores the key as custom.custom_preview_base_image (it prefixes custom_). snippets/live-preview.liquid therefore reads BOTH keys: v.metafields.custom.custom_preview_base_image | default: v.metafields.custom.preview_base_image. When creating definitions, put a plain Name (preview base image) and let Shopify derive the key.

Storefront behaviour (the dynamic flow)

  1. Cold load: native gallery only (fast LCP, 0 CLS). No overlay work.
  2. First keystroke: overlay mounts on the hero image; base swaps to the selected variant's base cover; text takes the variant's preset colour.
  3. Clear text → reverts to the variant's original product image.
  4. Switch variant → keeps the text, re-renders on the new variant's base + colour.
  5. On add-to-cart: the properties listed above are captured (Κείμενο, _preview incl. boxPt/artworkPt/base/font.url, _preview_base, _custom_product, _preview_link).

Key implementation notes (each was a bug we fixed — do not regress): - Overlay positions over the real image content box (object-fit letterbox math), not the container, so it matches the box-tool at any size / on mobile. - Current variant is read from the .product-variant-id form input, not the pub/sub event (which was stale) — this is what makes variant switching work. - A MutationObserver re-mounts the overlay + re-applies the base swap when Dawn re-renders the gallery (synchronous; requestAnimationFrame was paused headless). - The config JSON must quote variant-id object keys ("5671...": {}), else JSON.parse throws and everything silently falls back to defaults. - box % is relative to the cover image, authored in the box-tool by loading that exact image (the covers are square 1200×1200; the print PDF is portrait — boxPt is the separate print mapping).

Print pipeline (Phase 2)

Shopify order ─▶ order_to_md.py ─▶ 1 MD per item ─▶ stamp.py ─▶ print PDF
                                   (front-matter +   (per-variant base PDF
                                    ```json descriptor)  from Illustrator)

Self-check: python order_to_md.py --order sample_order.json --out-dir out --covers covers.json then python stamp.py --descriptor out/*.md --out out/final.pdf --verify → dx/dy≈0. NOTE the storefront box is % of the SQUARE cover image; the print PDF is portrait. The boxPt/artworkPt in the descriptor are the print mapping — if the base PDF framing differs from the storefront image, reconcile here (currently 1:1 when the Illustrator artwork == the descriptor artworkPt).

Cart & order preview (customer + merchant, no hosting)

The personalised cover is never rasterised or stored — it is composed ad-hoc (base cover <img> + text overlay) from the descriptor everywhere it appears:

  • Customer, in cart/drawer/notification: snippets/live-preview-cart.liquid draws the base cover natively (from _preview_base); assets/live-preview-cart.js (loaded globally) overlays the text from _preview, with a shrink-to-fit guard so a smaller render never clips. Click a preview to zoom (modal). wire() re-fits via ResizeObserver + setTimeout fallbacks once the element is laid out.
  • Merchant, from the order admin: click the order's _preview_link (/pages/cover-preview?d=<base64 descriptor>) → templates/page.cover-preview.liquid re-renders the exact zoomable cover on the shop's own domain. One cover-preview Page total (reused per order via the ?d= param). No third-party, no storage.
  • Hide cash-on-delivery for custom items: loop cart.items and check item.properties['_custom_product'] == 'Yes'.

Debugging

Block setting "Show debug info" renders two readouts under the field: - green (Liquid): position source, box %, per-variant metafield scan, built map. - blue (JS): parsed config, variantId, variant found?, applied colour, hero src. Turn it OFF for production.

Pending / next ideas

  • Turn off debug + broaden to the other product families (invitations, notebooks…).
  • Print framing reconciliation (square storefront cover ↔ portrait print PDF) if the two ever diverge; wire order_to_md.py to the real Admin API export.
  • Create the cover-preview Page (one-time) so _preview_link resolves.
  • Optional: a true cart attribute _custom_product (currently a line item property) if a checkout-level COD-hide reads cart.attributes.
  • Optional: hosted static image in the order (Cloudinary / app-proxy → Shopify Files) if a non-clickable inline image in the admin is ever needed. Deliberately avoided.
  • Position/scale MODES (#3 from the Cloudlift parity list) if requested.
  • Optional: merge to main once QA'd across products.

How to verify a change

Storefront JS is verifiable via the static harnesses in the session scratchpad (they mock the Dawn gallery DOM + PUB_SUB). For Liquid/metafields you need shopify theme push to the preview theme + the debug toggle. Print scripts run locally against the sample fixtures.

🎨 Live Preview (εξατομίκευση PDP)

Live Preview — Οδηγός χρήσης

Live Preview — Οδηγός Χρήσης (στήσιμο προϊόντων)

Πρακτικός οδηγός για να στήσεις την προσωποποίηση (Live Preview) σε ένα προϊόν. Απλά βήματα — δεν χρειάζεσαι προγραμματισμό.


Τι κάνει

Ο πελάτης γράφει ένα κείμενο (π.χ. ονόματα, ημερομηνία) και το βλέπει ζωντανά πάνω στο εξώφυλλο του βιβλίου, στο χρώμα του κάθε variant. Αλλάζοντας χρώμα, το κείμενο «μεταφέρεται» στο αντίστοιχο εξώφυλλο. Ό,τι γράψει καταγράφεται στην παραγγελία, για να το τυπώσεις.


⚙️ Μία φορά συνολικά (setup ορισμών)

Στο Shopify admin → Settings → Custom data, φτιάξε 3 ορισμούς (definitions):

  1. Products → Add definition - Name: live preview (γράψε το απλά έτσι — όχι custom.live_preview) - Type: JSON

  2. Variants → Add definition - Name: preview base image - Type: File (εικόνα)

  3. Variants → Add definition - Name: preview text color - Type: Color

⚠️ Στο Name γράψε απλό όνομα (π.χ. preview base image), χωρίς custom. μπροστά. Αν βάλεις custom. το Shopify διπλασιάζει το κλειδί και μπερδεύεται.


🎨 Στήσιμο ενός προϊόντος

Βήμα 1 — Εξώφυλλα & χρώματα ανά variant

Για κάθε χρώμα (variant) του προϊόντος, στη σελίδα του variant → ενότητα Metafields, συμπλήρωσε: - preview base image → την άδεια εικόνα εξωφύλλου αυτού του χρώματος (χωρίς το τυπωμένο κείμενο· εκεί θα μπει η προσωποποίηση). - preview text color → το χρώμα των γραμμάτων γι' αυτό το εξώφυλλο.

(Η κανονική εικόνα του variant δεν χρειάζεται ρύθμιση — εμφανίζεται όταν το πεδίο είναι άδειο.)

Βήμα 2 — Θέση κειμένου (& γραμματοσειρές)

  1. Άνοιξε το αρχείο tools/live-preview/box-tool.html (διπλό κλικ → ανοίγει στον browser).
  2. Στο Image URL βάλε την ίδια εικόνα που δείχνει το site ως εξώφυλλο (την τετράγωνη base εικόνα).
  3. Σύρε με το ποντίκι το κόκκινο πλαίσιο εκεί που θες το κείμενο. Δες live πώς φαίνεται.
  4. (Προαιρετικά) Στο Customer fonts πρόσθεσε γραμματοσειρές — δες Βήμα 4.
  5. Πάτα Copy JSON.
  6. Στο προϊόν → Metafields → live previewκόλλα το JSON → Save.

Βήμα 3 — Πρόσθεσε το block στη σελίδα (μία φορά ανά template)

Theme editor → σελίδα προϊόντος → ενότητα Product informationAdd block«Live preview (in-house)» → σύρε το εκεί που θες → Save.

Βήμα 4 — Γραμματοσειρές (προαιρετικό)

  1. Μετάτρεψε τις γραμματοσειρές σου σε web μορφή: python tools/live-preview/fonts_to_woff2.py --in "C:/φάκελος/με/fonts" Σου φτιάχνει .woff2 και σου τυπώνει το όνομα (family) κάθε μίας.
  2. Ανέβασε τα .woff2 στο Shopify Files → copy το URL της καθεμιάς.
  3. Στο box-tool → Customer fonts, μία γραμμή ανά γραμματοσειρά: Ετικέτα | Family | URL π.χ. Χειρόγραφη | Astir | https://cdn.shopify.com/.../Astir.woff2 (Η πρώτη = προεπιλογή. Η «Ετικέτα» είναι ό,τι βλέπει ο πελάτης.)
  4. Copy JSON → ξανακόλλα στο metafield live preview.

✍️ Μέγεθος κειμένου, labels & tooltips

Αυτά ρυθμίζονται στο Theme editor → σελίδα προϊόντος → block «Live preview» (είναι ρυθμίσεις του block — Save στον editor αρκεί, δεν χρειάζεται push).

Ενότητα «Size»: - Autofit: text fills the box (προεπιλογή: ναι) — το κείμενο μεγαλώνει αυτόματα ώστε να γεμίζει πάντα το πλαίσιο. Σβήσ' το αν θες σταθερό μέγεθος (τότε παίζει το «Fixed size»). - Show size −/+ buttons — εμφανίζει δύο μικρά κουμπιά (−/+) κάτω από το πεδίο, ώστε ο πελάτης να μεγαλώνει/μικραίνει μόνος του το κείμενο. - Min / Max size (%) — τα όρια (ως % του ύψους του πλαισίου) μέσα στα οποία κινείται. Στο max το κείμενο γεμίζει το πλαίσιο· κάτω από το min δεν πάει. - Step per click (%) — πόσο αλλάζει σε κάθε πάτημα (ομαλό βήμα).

Ετικέτες (labels): «Font dropdown label», «Alignment control label», «Size control label» — το κείμενο που βλέπει ο πελάτης πάνω από κάθε control.

Tooltips (i): «Field / Font / Size / Alignment tooltip» — προαιρετικό βοηθητικό κείμενο· εμφανίζεται ως εικονίδιο (i) δίπλα στο label. Άφησέ το κενό για να μη φαίνεται.

Οι γραμματοσειρές του πελάτη ορίζονται μόνο πλέον από το metafield custom.live_preview (Βήμα 4) — το παλιό πεδίο «Customer font choices» στο block αφαιρέθηκε.


🚀 Δημοσίευση (κάθε φορά που αλλάζεις κώδικα)

shopify theme push --theme 201616654668 --store <handle>.myshopify.com

Αν αλλάζεις μόνο metafields (θέση/εικόνες/χρώματα/fonts), δεν χρειάζεται push — απλά Save + refresh τη σελίδα. Push χρειάζεται μόνο για αλλαγές κώδικα.


🔎 Έλεγχος / Debug

Στο block «Live preview» υπάρχει διακόπτης «Show debug info». Άναψέ τον για να δεις τι διαβάζει η εφαρμογή (θέση, εικόνες/χρώματα ανά variant). Σβήσ' τον όταν τελειώσεις — δεν πρέπει να φαίνεται στους πελάτες.


🛒 Στο καλάθι & στην παραγγελία (τι βλέπει ο πελάτης / εσύ)

Ο πελάτης, μόλις προσωποποιήσει και πατήσει «Προσθήκη στο καλάθι», βλέπει το εξατομικευμένο εξώφυλλο (όχι το άδειο) στο καλάθι, στο συρτάρι (drawer) και στο popup «προστέθηκε». Κλικ πάνω στη μικρογραφία → μεγέθυνση (zoom). Δεν χρειάζεται καμία ρύθμιση — δουλεύει αυτόματα.

Εσύ, στην παραγγελία (Shopify admin), βλέπεις: - Κείμενο — αυτό που έγραψε ο πελάτης. - Ένα σύνδεσμο _preview_link — κάν' τον κλικ και ανοίγει το ακριβές εξώφυλλο με ζουμ, για να επιβεβαιώσεις (π.χ. τόνους) πριν το τυπώσεις. - _custom_product: Yes — σημάδι ότι είναι εξατομικευμένο (χρήσιμο για να κρύβεις την αντικαταβολή σε custom προϊόντα).

⚙️ Setup μία φορά — η σελίδα προεπισκόπησης

Για να δουλέψει ο σύνδεσμος _preview_link, φτιάξε μία σελίδα (μία φορά για όλο το site — όχι ανά παραγγελία): 1. Shopify admin → Online Store → Pages → Add page. 2. Title: Cover preview (το handle θα γίνει cover-preview). Άφησέ τη κενή. 3. Δεξιά, Theme template → cover-previewSave. 4. Μην τη βάλεις σε μενού — ανοίγει μόνο μέσω του συνδέσμου της παραγγελίας.

Μία σελίδα εξυπηρετεί όλες τις παραγγελίες (κουβαλά τα δεδομένα στο ίδιο το link). 300 ή 3000 παραγγελίες → πάντα μία σελίδα, μηδέν αποθηκευμένες εικόνες.


🖨️ Παραγωγή (από παραγγελία σε PDF)

Όταν έρθει παραγγελία, το κείμενο + οι ρυθμίσεις είναι στην παραγγελία (line item properties). Για το τελικό print PDF:

python tools/live-preview/order_to_md.py --order order.json --out-dir out --covers covers.json
python tools/live-preview/stamp.py --descriptor out/<αρχείο>.md --out out/final.pdf

Το stamp.py σφραγίζει το κείμενο πάνω στο base PDF (Illustrator) του σωστού variant. (Λεπτομέρειες: tools/live-preview/README.md.)

IDML round-trip

IDML ⇄ Markdown — Round-trip επεξεργασία (Moodbook)

Εργαλείο για να επεξεργάζεσαι το κείμενο ενός βιβλίου InDesign με το Claude (ή με το χέρι), διατηρώντας ανέπαφη όλη τη μορφοποίηση: layout, γραμματοσειρές, μεγέθη, στοίχιση, αλλαγές γραμμής, πίνακες, εικόνες, χρώματα, master pages.

Η ιδέα

Το IDML παραμένει η πηγή αλήθειας — δεν το ξαναφτιάχνουμε ποτέ από το Markdown. - Το EXPORT βγάζει σε .md κάθε πεδίο κειμένου (<Content>) του βιβλίου, με ένα σταθερό αναγνωριστικό [story#index]. - Επεξεργάζεσαι μόνο το κείμενο. - Το IMPORT ξαναγράφει στο πρωτότυπο IDML μόνο τα πεδία που όντως άλλαξαν. Όλα τα υπόλοιπα bytes μένουν ίδια → η μορφοποίηση δεν επηρεάζεται καθόλου.

Ροή εργασίας

  1. Στο InDesign: File ▸ Export ▸ InDesign Markup (IDML). Βάλε το .idml στο IDML_IN.
  2. Διπλό κλικ στο 1_EXPORT_idml_to_md.bat → δημιουργείται MD_WORK\<όνομα>.md.
  3. Δώσε αυτό το .md στο Claude για διορθώσεις/προσθήκες (ή επεξεργάσου το μόνος σου). Άλλαξε μόνο το κείμενο μετά το ]. Μην αλλάζεις τα [αναγνωριστικά] ούτε να προσθέτεις/σβήνεις γραμμές [..#..].
  4. Αποθήκευσε το .md πίσω στο MD_WORK (ίδιο όνομα).
  5. Διπλό κλικ στο 2_IMPORT_md_to_idml.bat → βγαίνει IDML_OUT\<όνομα>.idml.
  6. Στο InDesign: άνοιξε το IDML_OUT\<όνομα>.idml και Save As.indd.

[u8253#0] Copyright© 2022 Moodbook
[u8253#1] Απαγορεύεται ρητά η αντιγραφή...
  • [u8253#1] = story u8253, πεδίο κειμένου #1. Είναι ο «δεσμός» με το IDML — μην το πειράζεις.
  • Οι επικεφαλίδες ## Σελίδα N δείχνουν τον πραγματικό αριθμό σελίδας του InDesign (για πλοήγηση). Το περιεχόμενο είναι σε σειρά σελίδων.
  • Ένας χάρακας # ── σελίδες X–Y: επαναλαμβανόμενες σελίδες προτύπου ── σημαίνει ότι εκείνες οι σελίδες είναι από master/πρότυπο (δεν έχουν δικό τους κείμενο). Έτσι βρίσκεις και σελίδες που δεν έχουν μοναδικό περιεχόμενο.
  • Στο τέλος, οι ενότητες ## Πρότυπο: <όνομα> είναι το επαναλαμβανόμενο περιεχόμενο των master (αν το αλλάξεις, αλλάζει σε όλες τις σελίδες που το χρησιμοποιούν).
  • Γραμμές που ξεκινούν με # αγνοούνται.
  • Κενή γραμμή = νέα παράγραφος. Διαδοχικές γραμμές [..#..] ΧΩΡΙΣ κενή γραμμή ανάμεσα ανήκουν στην ΙΔΙΑ παράγραφο (σπασμένη από μορφοποίηση, π.χ. έντονα).

Κανόνες για polish / διορθώσεις (ορθογραφικά, συντακτικά)

Δουλεύει κανονικά — απλώς πες στο Claude: - Άλλαξε μόνο το κείμενο μετά το ], κράτα ίδια τα [αναγνωριστικά] (μη τα αναριθμείς). - Διατήρησε τα κενά στην αρχή/τέλος κάθε γραμμής (κρατούν τα κενά μεταξύ λέξεων). - Σε ομαδοποιημένες γραμμές (μία παράγραφος με μορφοποίηση), διόρθωσε κάθε κομμάτι επιτόπου — μη μετακινείς λέξεις από τη μια γραμμή στην άλλη (αλλιώς τα έντονα/πλάγια μπορεί να πέσουν σε λάθος λέξεις· το κείμενο πάντως μένει σωστό).

Αν κατά λάθος προστεθούν/αναριθμηθούν γραμμές, το IMPORT το εντοπίζει και προειδοποιεί (δεν χαλάει τίποτα — εφαρμόζει μόνο έγκυρες αλλαγές).

Τι μπορεί / τι όχι

Μπορεί (ασφαλές, lossless): - Διορθώσεις και αλλαγές σε υπάρχον κείμενο — οπουδήποτε, σε παραγράφους ή πίνακες. - Επέκταση/σύντμηση κειμένου μέσα σε υπάρχον πεδίο. - Διαγραφή κειμένου (άφησε το πεδίο κενό).

Δεν καλύπτεται από αυτό το εργαλείο (κάν' το στο InDesign): - Δημιουργία νέων σελίδων/πλαισίων/εικόνων/πινάκων από το μηδέν. - Νέα έντονα/πλάγια μέσα σε ένα πεδίο που ήταν απλό κείμενο (η μορφοποίηση ανήκει στο IDML, όχι στο .md). Αν προσθέσεις πολύ κείμενο, το InDesign θα δείξει «overset» — πρόσθεσε σελίδες ή ενεργοποίησε το Type ▸ Smart Text Reflow.

Σημείωση για το round-trip

Αν τρέξεις EXPORT και μετά IMPORT χωρίς καμία αλλαγή, το αποτέλεσμα είναι byte-identical με το πρωτότυπο (επαληθευμένο). Έτσι ξέρεις ότι ποτέ δεν «χαλάει» κάτι από μόνο του — αλλάζει μόνο ό,τι επεξεργάστηκες.

Μετατρέπει αρχεία Markdown σε αρχεία IDML έτοιμα για το Adobe InDesign, χρησιμοποιώντας τα styles του template.

Πώς το χρησιμοποιείς

  1. Βάλε ένα ή περισσότερα αρχεία .md στον φάκελο IN.
  2. Κάνε διπλό κλικ στο Convert_MD_to_IDML.bat.
  3. Πάρε τα έτοιμα .idml από τον φάκελο OUT (ένα ανά αρχείο, με το ίδιο όνομα).

Πώς δουλεύει

Το πρόγραμμα δεν φτιάχνει IDML από το μηδέν. Παίρνει το TEMPLATE/TEMPLATE.idml (που έχει ήδη όλα τα paragraph / character / font styles, master spreads και την αλυσίδα των text frames) και αντικαθιστά μόνο το κείμενο του βασικού story με το μετατραπέν Markdown. Έτσι το αποτέλεσμα ακολουθεί πάντα ακριβώς το template.

Αν θέλεις άλλο template, αντικατέστησε το αρχείο μέσα στο TEMPLATE/ με ένα δικό σου .idml. Πρέπει να ορίζει paragraph styles με ονόματα Body, Heading 1, Headings 2.

Αντιστοίχιση Markdown → InDesign

Markdown Στυλ InDesign

πίνακας GFM \| α \| β \| πραγματικός πίνακας InDesign ([Basic Table], 1η γραμμή bold)

Μία γραμμή = μία παράγραφος (το κείμενο της πηγής έχει μία παράγραφο ανά γραμμή).

Σημειώσεις

  • Ύψος γραμμών πίνακα: οι γραμμές μπαίνουν με ελάχιστο ύψος και «μεγαλώνουν όσο χρειάζεται» (At Least). Το InDesign υπολογίζει το τελικό ύψος όταν ανοίξεις το αρχείο. Αν θες μεγαλύτερα κενά κελιά (π.χ. για να γράφεις με το χέρι), αύξησε το ύψος μέσα στο InDesign.
  • Πλήθος σελίδων: το template έχει 3 συνδεδεμένες σελίδες. Αν το κείμενο είναι μεγαλύτερο, το InDesign το δείχνει ως overset — πρόσθεσε σελίδες/frames κανονικά.
  • Η μετατροπή έχει επαληθευτεί ότι παράγει ίδιο αποτέλεσμα με τις υπάρχουσες αναφορές IDML και για τα 11 κεφάλαια του Travel Journal.

Ρυθμίσεις (για προχωρημένους)

Στην αρχή του md_to_idml.py υπάρχουν σταθερές που μπορείς να αλλάξεις: HEADING_STYLES (αντιστοίχιση επικεφαλίδων), TABLE_MODE ("table" για πραγματικούς πίνακες ή "tabs" για κείμενο με tabs), και οι μετρικές των πινάκων.

Chapter merge

Συναρμολόγηση κεφαλαίων (Moodbook)

Δουλεύεις κάθε κεφάλαιο ξεχωριστά, και μετά το προσθέτεις στο κύριο αρχείο στο σημείο που εσύ επιλέγεις (πριν ή μετά από οποιαδήποτε σελίδα). Όλο το υπόλοιπο κείμενο μένει ακριβώς ίδιο.

Πώς το χρησιμοποιείς

  1. Βάλε το κύριο .md στον φάκελο MAIN.
  2. Βάλε τα κεφάλαια .md στον φάκελο CHAPTERS.
  3. Άνοιξε το κύριο .md και, σε δική της γραμμή, στο σημείο που θες να μπει το κεφάλαιο, γράψε: @@INSERT: 02_prin_fygeis_eggrafa_vizes_AFTER@@ (το όνομα = το αρχείο μέσα στο CHAPTERS, χωρίς .md)
  4. Διπλό κλικ στο MERGE.bat. Το αποτέλεσμα βγαίνει στο OUT\<όνομα>_merged.md.

Μπορείς να βάλεις πολλούς δείκτες (πολλά κεφάλαια) σε ένα πέρασμα — ο καθένας αντικαθίσταται με το αντίστοιχο κεφάλαιο.

«Πριν ή μετά από ποια σελίδα»

Επιλέγεις εσύ, βάζοντας τον δείκτη ΑΚΡΙΒΩΣ εκεί: - Μετά τη σελίδα Χ → βάλε τον δείκτη αμέσως μετά το περιεχόμενο εκείνης της σελίδας. - Πριν τη σελίδα Χ → βάλε τον δείκτη ακριβώς πριν αρχίσει εκείνη η σελίδα.

Σημαντικό για τους αριθμούς σελίδων

Ο πραγματικός αριθμός σελίδων προκύπτει από το InDesign όταν στοιχειοθετεί το κείμενο (ένα κεφάλαιο μπορεί να πιάσει 2 ή 5 σελίδες — μόνο το InDesign το ξέρει). Γι' αυτό το εργαλείο δεν ξαναριθμεί σελίδες· κρατά τα κεφάλαια στη σωστή σειρά και η αρίθμηση μπαίνει στο InDesign.

Προσοχή αν το κύριο είναι round-trip export (μορφή [id])

Αν το κύριο .md είναι export με [αναγνωριστικά], το κεφάλαιο που εισάγεις είναι νέο κείμενο χωρίς [id]. Άρα: - Για κύριο έγγραφο κειμένου (χειρόγραφο): τέλεια, το κεφάλαιο μπαίνει στη σειρά. - Για επιστροφή στο IDML: το νέο κεφάλαιο δεν γίνεται αυτόματα νέες σελίδες στο βιβλίο — αυτό απαιτεί δημιουργία σελίδων στο InDesign. Το round-trip ενημερώνει μόνο υπάρχον κείμενο.

InDesign insert script

InDesign script: Insert_Chapter.jsx (Moodbook)

Εισάγει ένα κεφάλαιο (.idml, π.χ. από MD_TO_IDML\OUT) μέσα στο ανοιχτό βιβλίο, σε σελίδα που επιλέγεις (μετά/πριν), διατηρώντας τα styles. Το InDesign ανανεώνει αυτόματα την αρίθμηση σελίδων.

Εγκατάσταση

Το script είναι ήδη εγκατεστημένο στους φακέλους Scripts Panel των InDesign 16 & 21 (...\Adobe\InDesign\Version XX\en_US\Scripts\Scripts Panel\). Φαίνεται στο Window ▸ Utilities ▸ Scripts ως Insert_Chapter.

ΣΗΜΑΝΤΙΚΟ: το Scripts panel τρέχει το αντίγραφο μέσα σε αυτόν τον φάκελο. Αν αλλάξει ο κώδικας, πρέπει να ξανα-αντιγραφεί εκεί (αλλιώς τρέχεις παλιά έκδοση). Όταν κάνω αλλαγή, την ξανα-εγκαθιστώ για σένα — απλώς ξανατρέξε το από το Scripts panel.

Χρήση

  1. Άνοιξε το κύριο βιβλίο (.indd ή το .idml του) στο InDesign.
  2. Στο Scripts panel, διπλό κλικ στο Insert_Chapter.
  3. Στον διάλογο: - Κεφάλαιο (.idml): διάλεξε το αρχείο του κεφαλαίου. - Σελίδα αναφοράς: ο αριθμός σελίδας όπως φαίνεται στο βιβλίο (π.χ. 29). - Θέση: «μετά» (το κεφάλαιο ξεκινά στην επόμενη σελίδα) ή «πριν». - (προαιρετικά) Εφάρμοσε master του βιβλίου στις νέες σελίδες.
  4. Έλεγξε το αποτέλεσμα και αποθήκευσε (το script δεν αποθηκεύει μόνο του).

Τα scripts

  • Expand_Chapter.jsx — με το κεφάλαιο ανοιχτό: προσθέτει όσες σελίδες χρειάζονται ώστε να φανεί όλο το κείμενο (το MD_TO_IDML βγάζει πάντα 3 σελίδες με το υπόλοιπο κρυμμένο).
  • Insert_Chapter.jsx — με το βιβλίο ανοιχτό: εισάγει το κεφάλαιο στη σελίδα που θες (κάνει και μόνο του την επέκταση αν χρειαστεί).
  • Batch_Build_Chapters.jsxχωρίς ανοιχτό έγγραφο: διάλεξε έναν φάκελο με .idml και το script ανοίγει το καθένα, (προαιρετικά) το κάνει Expand, και αποθηκεύει το αντίστοιχο .indd στον ίδιο φάκελο. Batch εκδοχή του «open → build → save».

Batch_Build_Chapters.jsx — χρήση

  1. Window ▸ Utilities ▸ Scripts → διπλό κλικ στο Batch_Build_Chapters.
  2. Διάλεξε τον φάκελο με τα κεφάλαια .idml.
  3. Στον διάλογο επιλογών: - Χτίσε όλες τις σελίδες (Expand) — ίδια λογική με το Expand_Chapter (default: ναι). - Παράλειψε αν υπάρχει ήδη .indd — αλλιώς αντικαθιστά (default: αντικαθιστά). - Ψάξε και σε υποφακέλους (default: όχι). - Κλείσε κάθε έγγραφο μετά την αποθήκευση (default: ναι — για μαζικό τρέξιμο).
  4. Στο τέλος: σύνοψη (OK / skipped / overset / fail) + log _batch_build_log.txt στον φάκελο.

Σημειώσεις: τρέχει με κατεσταλμένα dialogs (NEVER_INTERACT) ώστε missing-font/link προειδοποιήσεις να μη σταματούν το batch — γι' αυτό, αν κάποιο κεφάλαιο έχει θέμα, θα το δεις ως FAIL ή ⚠ overset στο log, όχι με popup. Τα .indd παίρνουν το ίδιο basename με τα .idml.

Η πλήρης ροή

  1. Διορθώσεις υπάρχοντοςIDML_ROUNDTRIP (export → edit → import, lossless).
  2. Νέο κεφάλαιο → γράψε prose .mdMD_TO_IDMLchapter.idml (ίδιο μέγεθος σελίδας με το βιβλίο, χάρη στο match_template_to_book.py).
  3. Δες το κεφάλαιο σωστά (προαιρετικό) → άνοιξέ το → Expand_Chapter → αποθήκευσε → τώρα έχει όλες τις σελίδες του.
  4. Συναρμολόγηση στο βιβλίο → άνοιξε το βιβλίο → Insert_Chapter → εισαγωγή στη σελίδα που θες → auto-renumber.

Σημαντικά

  • Μέγεθος σελίδας: το κεφάλαιο πρέπει να έχει το ίδιο μέγεθος σελίδας με το βιβλίο. Ευθυγράμμισέ το με το MD_TO_IDML\FILES\match_template_to_book.py πριν φτιάξεις το κεφάλαιο.
  • Facing pages: αν το κεφάλαιο έχει μονό αριθμό σελίδων, οι επόμενες σελίδες αλλάζουν recto/verso (κανονική συμπεριφορά InDesign). Για να κρατήσεις τα spreads, πρόσθεσε ζυγό αριθμό σελίδων.
  • Μέγεθος κεφαλαίου (αυτόματο): αν το κείμενο ξεπερνά τις 3 σελίδες του template, το script προσθέτει μόνο του όσες σελίδες χρειάζονται μέσα στο κεφάλαιο (ώστε να μη «κόβεται» στη 3η) πριν τις εισάγει στο βιβλίο.
  • Styles: διατηρούνται κατά όνομα (ίδια ονόματα στυλ → ταιριάζουν· νέα → προστίθενται).
  • Εισαγωγή σε επίπεδο σελίδας: το κεφάλαιο μπαίνει ακριβώς μετά/πριν τη σελίδα που όρισες (όχι σε όρια spread). Οι σελίδες αντιγράφονται όλες μαζί ώστε να διατηρηθεί η ροή (threading) του κειμένου.
  • Δοκιμή (πρώτη φορά, σε ΑΝΤΙΓΡΑΦΟ): το script δεν το έχω τρέξει σε InDesign από εδώ. Έλεγξε ότι: (1) το κεφάλαιο προσγειώθηκε στη σωστή σελίδα, (2) η σειρά των σελίδων είναι σωστή, (3) το κείμενο ρέει σωστά. Αν κάτι από αυτά αστοχήσει, πες μου τι είδες και το διορθώνω.

Designed chapter — README

DESIGNED_CHAPTER — Moodbook σχεδιασμένο κεφάλαιο → IDML

Αυτόνομο εργαλείο (architecture B). Δεν πειράζει το παλιό MD_TO_IDML / IDML_ROUNDTRIP.

Ροή

  1. Γράφεις το κεφάλαιο σε Markdown με το συμβόλαιο σήμανσης → CHAPTER_AUTHORING_SPEC.md (περιέχει και το έτοιμο prompt για Claude chat).
  2. Βάζεις το .md στο IN\.
  3. Τρέχεις τον converter → παράγει σχεδιασμένο IDML στο OUT\ (στυλ/χρώματα/master/running header έρχονται από το TEMPLATE\CHAPTER_TEMPLATE.idml· το κείμενο ρέει στο primary text frame και οι σελίδες μεγαλώνουν με Smart Text Reflow).
  4. 2ος χρόνος — εικονίδια: ανοίγεις το IDML στο InDesign και τρέχεις το jsx (Φ4) που τοποθετεί τα SVG από το ICONS\ anchored στα Headings 2 (βάσει του {icon=...} του MD).

Φάκελοι

  • IN\ — εδώ βάζεις το .md προς μετατροπή.
  • OUT\ — εδώ βγαίνει το .idml.
  • ICONS\ — εδώ βάζεις τα 8 SVG (plug/shirt/shoe/ruler/clock/phone/droplet/thermometer) για τη Φ4.
  • TEMPLATE\ — το validated CHAPTER_TEMPLATE.idml (body story μέσω master PrimaryTextFrame).
  • FILES\ — ο κώδικας: chapter_to_idml.py (converter) + αργότερα place_icons.jsx.
  • CHAPTER_AUTHORING_SPEC.md — το συμβόλαιο σήμανσης MD → InDesign styles.

Κατάσταση

  • [x] Scaffold + template + spec.
  • [x] Φ1 converter (rewire σε primary story u19b, flow κειμένου).
  • [x] Φ2 opener (ChapterNum/Kicker/ChapterTitle/Standfirst) + callout.
  • [x] Φ3 MB tables (header + zebra).
  • [~] ΕΛΕΓΧΟΣ στο InDesign — το κείμενο ρέει & τα styles είναι σωστά, αλλά η σελιδοποίηση πρέπει να γίνει ΜΕΣΑ στο InDesign (μόνο αυτό φτιάχνει σελίδες).
  • [ ] FILES\Build_Chapter.jsx — pagination (autoflow primary frame, master A-Parent) — υπό δοκιμή.
  • [ ] Φ4 icon placement (θα μπει μέσα στο Build_Chapter.jsx· διαβάζει το OUT\*.icons.json).

Ροή τελική

MD (IN) → Convert_Chapter_to_IDML.bat → OUT*.idml (περιεχόμενο, overset σε 1 σελίδα) → άνοιξέ το στο InDesign → FILES\Build_Chapter.jsx (φτιάχνει τις σελίδες) → autonomous chapter *_paged.inddInsert_Chapter.jsx για ένταξη στο βιβλίο.

Designed chapter — build guide

DESIGNED_CHAPTER — Build Guide

Πρακτικός οδηγός: από .md κεφάλαιο → σελιδοποιημένο .indd → ένταξη στο βιβλίο (.indb). Έκδοση οδηγού: v2.6 · Έκδοση συμβολαίου (MOODBOOK_AUTHORING_MAP.json): v2.6 (ευθυγραμμισμένα). Επιβεβαιωμένο τρίπλευρα: contract ↔ template ↔ guide (βλ. §10). Συνοδεύει το STATE_HANDOFF.md.

Το version drift λύθηκε. Ο κανονικός αριθμός συμβολαίου είναι v2.6 (από το ίδιο το MOODBOOK_AUTHORING_MAP.json). Ο header και τα element tags του §6 ευθυγραμμίστηκαν σε αυτόν.

🔧 Ανοιχτά σημεία ευθυγράμμισης (template ↔ contract) — 3, μικρά, προς απόφαση: 1. Caption fallback του ::: art: το contract το δηλώνει ως fallback του ArtNote, αλλά δεν υπάρχει Caption style στο template. Αβλαβές σήμερα (το ArtNote υπάρχει). → πρόσθεσε Caption ή βγάλε το fallback. 2. TOC_Chapter: υπάρχει στο template αλλά λείπει από το style_inventory_v5 του contract. → πρόσθεσέ το στο JSON inventory (είναι χρήσιμο για Book TOC). 3. Art_FullPage object style: υπάρχει στο template, αλλά το contract (v2.3) δηλώνει ότι τα Art_* object styles καταργήθηκαν. → ή βγάλ' το από το template, ή ξανα-τεκμηρίωσέ το ρητά.

Επίσης: το contract αναφέρει το template ως CHAPTER_TEMPLATE_v5.idml, ενώ το ενεργό αρχείο λέγεται CHAPTER_TEMPLATE.idml — ίδιο v5, μόνο το όνομα διαφέρει· ευθυγράμμισε ονομασία αν θες exact-match παντού.

ICONS\ τα 8 SVG εικονίδια (icon-<name>.svg) για τα {icon=}
LINKS\ προαιρετικό — αποθήκη source εικόνων για το χέρι· ο converter ΔΕΝ το διαβάζει (v2.3+)
FILES\ όλη η λογική: converter + jsx + tools

2. Setup template — ΜΙΑ φορά (έγινε ήδη)

Το ενεργό TEMPLATE\CHAPTER_TEMPLATE.idml περιέχει ήδη όλα τα απαραίτητα styles για το πλήρες authoring vocabulary. Δεν χρειάζεται να κάνεις τίποτα στην κανονική ροή.

Επιβεβαιωμένο από το IDML (πλήρης κατάλογος → §10): - 27 paragraph styles — καλύπτουν front-matter, headings, σώμα, λίστες, όλα τα ::: blocks, checklist (multi-column), TOC, running header. - 5 character stylesInlineBold, Italic, CalloutLabel, PromptLabel, TableHeaderText. - 2 object stylesCheckbox (legacy· βλ. §8), Art_FullPage (frame για full-page εικόνα με το χέρι). - 1 table + 4 cell stylesMB_BodyTable με MB_HeaderCell / MB_BodyCell / MB_ZebraCell / MB_CalloutCell. - Native list types ΑΝΕΠΑΦΑ (επιβεβαιωμένο): BulletList=Bullet, NumberedList=Numbered, FormCheckBoxes=Bullet με glyph ☐ U+2610 σε Minion Pro Regular. Rule Below παρόν σε Lines, RunHeader, FormCheckBoxes.

👉 Μόνο αν ξανα-εξάγεις/round-trip-άρεις το template από το InDesign και χαθούν styles ή list types, ξανατρέξε:

python FILES\inject_styles.py    TEMPLATE\CHAPTER_TEMPLATE.idml FILES\artnote_style.json -o TEMPLATE\tmp.idml
python FILES\patch_liststyles.py TEMPLATE\tmp.idml -o TEMPLATE\CHAPTER_TEMPLATE.idml
  • inject_styles.py → προσθέτει νέα styles (π.χ. ArtNote).
  • patch_liststyles.py → φτιάχνει/διορθώνει το List Type σε BulletList/NumberedList (token BulletList/NumberedList).
  • Το FormCheckBoxes glyph (☐ Minion Pro) φτιάχνεται/επιβεβαιώνεται στο InDesign (αυθεντική πηγή· βλ. §8 pitfall).

3. ΦΑΣΗ 1 — Μετατροπή MD → IDML

  1. Βάλε το .md στο IN\.
  2. Lint πρώτα: python FILES\lint_chapter.py → πρέπει «0 errors». Πιάνει το συχνό λάθος attributes σε λάθος γραμμή (count=10 κάτω από το ::: lines αντί ::: lines count=10) που αλλιώς περνά σιωπηλά και «σπάει» στο InDesign.
  3. Διπλό κλικ στο Convert_Chapter_to_IDML.batpython FILES\chapter_to_idml.py).
  4. Έλεγξε το log: - [OK] <file> … (N sections, M icons) → επιτυχία. - κανένα [ΣΦΑΛΜΑ], ιδανικά κανένα [ΣΗΜ] (το [ΣΗΜ] σημαίνει ότι ένα style έχασε το list type → μπήκε prefix fallback· διορθώνεται στο InDesign). - [art][note] = κάθε ::: art έγινε σημείωση (note-only).
  5. Παράγεται στο OUT\: - <chapter>.idml ← αυτό ανοίγεις στο InDesign. - <chapter>.icons.json ← sidecar για τα section icons. - <chapter>.icml ← (δεν το χρειάζεσαι).

4. ΦΑΣΗ 2 — InDesign, ανά κεφάλαιο

Πώς τρέχεις jsx: Window ▸ Utilities ▸ Scripts → (μία φορά) ρίξε τα FILES\*.jsx στον φάκελο User του Scripts panel → διπλό κλικ.

# Βήμα Τι κάνει Προϋπόθεση
1 Build_Chapter.jsx Σελιδοποιεί (επεκτείνει το thread) → σώζει OUT\<chapter>_paged.indd Άνοιξε το OUT\<chapter>.idml (ή άσ' το να σε ρωτήσει)
2 place_anchored.jsx Βάζει τα section icons (από .icons.json) active doc = το _paged.indd
3 Εικόνες με το χέρι Τοποθετείς χάρτες/εικόνες στις σημειώσεις ⟦ ΕΙΚΟΝΑ ⟧ (frame + fitting με το χέρι) Edit ▸ Find/Change → search «⟦ ΕΙΚΟΝΑ»· βάλε εικόνα, σβήσε τη σημείωση

Σημείωση: τα checkboxes ΔΕΝ μπαίνουν πια με jsx — είναι το auto-bullet ☐ του FormCheckBoxes. Το checkbox pass του place_anchored.jsx είναι legacy/no-op.

Γρήγορα oπτικά checks (πρώτη φορά): - checklist: κάθε στοιχείο δείχνει + γραμμή για γράψιμο. - bullets και αριθμοί 1. 2. 3. σωστά, με κάθε αριθμημένη λίστα να ξεκινά από 1. - {half} πεδία: 2-2 δίπλα-δίπλα. - section icons: σωστή θέση/μέγεθος (iteration-1).


5. ΦΑΣΗ 3 — Ένταξη στο βιβλίο (.indb Book)

Νέα διαχείριση: InDesign Book (.indb) με τα κεφάλαια ως members (όχι ως «links»). Το παλιό Insert_Chapter.jsx (που έχωνε σελίδες σε ένα μονολιθικό .indd) έχει αποσυρθεί.

  1. Δημιουργία/άνοιγμα του βιβλίου: File ▸ New ▸ Book…MASTER_BOOK.indb (μία φορά).
  2. Add Document: στο Book panel, + → διάλεξε το OUT\<chapter>_paged.indd. Επανέλαβε ανά κεφάλαιο.
  3. Σειρά: σύρε τα κεφάλαια στη σωστή σειρά μέσα στο panel.
  4. Style Source: όρισε ποιο document είναι η πηγή styles (το εικονίδιο αριστερά). Σύσταση: το front-matter ή το 1ο κεφάλαιο (όχι dummy — βλ. παρακάτω).
  5. Synchronize (προαιρετικό· δίχτυ ασφαλείας): Book panel menu ▸ Synchronize Options → τσέκαρε Paragraph/Character/Object/Table/Cell styles + Swatches (τα Master Pages μόνο αν θες να επιβάλεις γεωμετρία/headers παντού) → Synchronize.
  6. Numbering: Book panel menu ▸ Book Page Numbering Options → συνεχής αρίθμηση· ανά κεφάλαιο Document Numbering Options αν χρειάζεται section start.
  7. TOC (προαιρετικό): για πίνακα περιεχομένων σε επίπεδο Book, χτίσε TOC style που μαζεύει το paragraph style ChapterTitle και εμφανίζει την καταχώρηση με το TOC_Chapter (υπάρχει έτοιμο στο template).
  8. Export/Package σε επίπεδο Book (όχι ανά κεφάλαιο): επίλεξε τα documents → Export Book to PDF / Package Book.

Style Source — η παγίδα των σελίδων: κάθε member (και ο Style Source) μετράει σελίδες και εξάγεται. - Προτιμώμενο: Style Source = πραγματικό document (front-matter/κεφ. 1) → χωρίς dummy. - Αν θες dedicated styles_master.indd (παράγωγο του template, βλ. STATE_HANDOFF): βάλ' το τελευταίο στο Book (να μη μετατοπίζει την αρίθμηση) και απο-επίλεξέ το στο export.

Προϋποθέσεις: ίδιο page size/margins σε όλα τα members (το ίδιο template το εγγυάται — A5, facing pages· βλ. §10).


6. Authoring quick-reference (markup → style)

Πλήρες συμβόλαιο: FILES\CHAPTER_AUTHORING_SPEC.md (+ MOODBOOK_AUTHORING_MAP.json). Συνοπτικά — κάθε style παρακάτω επιβεβαιώθηκε ότι υπάρχει στο template (εξαίρεση: το documented fallback Caption — βλ. ⚠️ κάτω):

Front-matter (στην κορυφή, μέσα σε ---): chapter_numberChapterNum · kickerKicker · titleChapterTitle (υποχρεωτικό) · standfirstStandfirst.

Block: - ## Τίτλος {icon=NAME}Headings 2 (icon: plug/shirt/shoe/ruler/clock/phone/droplet/thermometer) - απλή γραμμή → Body · **bold**InlineBold · *italic*Italic - - στοιχείοBulletList (auto •) · 1. στοιχείοNumberedList (auto 1.) - GFM πίνακας (|---|) → MB_BodyTable (κελιά: MB_HeaderCell header · MB_ZebraCell zebra · MB_BodyCell body · MB_CalloutCell για callout-κελί· header text → char style TableHeaderText)

Fenced (:::): - calloutCallout (+ label char style CalloutLabel) - quoteQuote (+ γραμμή απόδοσης → QuoteAttribution) - fields (+{half}) → FormLabel (label πεδίου) · ομαδικός τίτλος → FormGroupLabel - promptPrompt (+ label char style PromptLabel) - pullPull - lines count=NLines (Rule Below → φαίνονται οι γραμμές) - day count=NDayLabel (+ Lines για το γράψιμο) - toplist title=… count=NToplistTitle + ToplistItem - checklistChecklistName / ChecklistColHeader / ChecklistItem ή FormCheckBoxes (βλ. κάτω) - artArtNote (note-only· βλ. κάτω)

::: checklist name="…" [columns="A|B|C"] rows=N[v2.6] - Multi-column (default MUST HAVE | I HAVE | DONE): name → ChecklistName, μετά ένας borderless πίνακας (στήλη label με ChecklistItem + μία ☐-στήλη ανά κεφαλίδα ChecklistColHeader). Το ☐ = χαρακτήρας U+2610 σε Minion Pro, κεντραρισμένο. Στοίχιση από τον πίνακα — χωρίς jsx, χωρίς tab stops, χωρίς anchored objects. - Single column (columns="DONE"): κάθε - στοιχείοFormCheckBoxes (☐ U+2610 auto-bullet, Minion Pro).

::: art src="…" [layout="…"] [caption="…"] [alt="…"][v2.3] NOTE-ONLY ΔΕΝ τοποθετεί εικόνα· βγάζει σημείωση ⟦ ΕΙΚΟΝΑ: <src> — <layout> · <caption> ⟧ (style ArtNote, magenta). Το layout (π.χ. full-page) είναι μόνο υπόδειξη μέσα στο κείμενο της σημείωσης — όχι geometry/object style· την εικόνα και το frame τα βάζεις με το χέρι (§4 βήμα 3). alt = μεταδεδομένο, δεν τυπώνεται.

⚠️ Caption fallback: το contract δηλώνει paragraph_style_fallback: "Caption" για το ::: art, αλλά δεν υπάρχει Caption style στο template. Αβλαβές σήμερα (το ArtNote υπάρχει, οπότε το fallback δεν ενεργοποιείται)· αν όμως χαθεί το ArtNote, ο fallback θα αποτύχει. Απόφασε: ή πρόσθεσε Caption, ή βγάλε το fallback. ℹ️ Το object style Art_FullPage υπάρχει ακόμη στο template, αλλά το contract (v2.3) το θεωρεί καταργημένο μαζί με τα υπόλοιπα Art_*. Ο converter δεν το αγγίζει· αν το χρησιμοποιείς για manual full-page placement, κάν' το συνειδητά — ή ευθυγράμμισε template/contract (βλ. header + §10).

Απαγορευμένα: #/###, >, ![](), raw HTML, code fences εκτός :::, σκέτο --- στο σώμα.

ℹ️ Το template κρατά και ένα paragraph style Heading 1 που δεν αντιστοιχεί σε authoring markup (το # είναι απαγορευμένο). Είναι reserved/legacy — μην το στοχεύεις από .md.


7. Tools (στο FILES\)

Tool Σκοπός
chapter_to_idml.py ο converter (JSON-driven)· τρέχει από το .bat
lint_chapter.py pre-flight linter (attrs-σε-λάθος-γραμμή, unclosed/unknown fences)
inject_styles.py + artnote_style.json προσθέτει νέα styles σε template IDML
patch_liststyles.py φτιάχνει/διορθώνει List Type σε υπάρχοντα BulletList/NumberedList
Build_Chapter.jsx σελιδοποίηση
place_anchored.jsx section icons (checkbox pass = legacy)
export_native_art.jsx ⛔ ΠΑΡΚΑΡΙΣΜΕΝΟ — εκτός pipeline

8. Pitfalls / να ξέρεις

  • List-type round-trip pitfall (ΚΡΙΣΙΜΟ): το BulletsAndNumberingListType δεν επιβιώνει αξιόπιστα σε round-trips του InDesign. Το σωστό native token είναι BulletList/NumberedList (όχι UnorderedList/OrderedList). Αυθεντική πηγή = το InDesign· ο converter κάνει auto-detection και πέφτει σε prefix fallback (/1./) αν λείπει — δεν σπάει ποτέ. Τρέχουσα κατάσταση: στο ενεργό template τα list types είναι ανέπαφα (επιβεβαιωμένο — §10), οπότε δεν ενεργοποιείται fallback· η προειδοποίηση ισχύει μόνο αν ξανα-εξάγεις template.
  • FormCheckBoxes: στο τρέχον template είναι σωστό (List Type = Bullets, glyph = ☐ U+2610, Minion Pro Regular, με Rule Below για τη γραμμή γραψίματος). Αν χαθεί σε round-trip, ο converter βάζει ☐\t prefix (ίσως χωρίς σωστό glyph αν το body font δεν έχει ☐).
  • Λείπει το fallback style Caption: ο converter το ονομάζει ως εναλλακτικό του ArtNote, αλλά δεν υπάρχει στο template (βλ. §6 ⚠️). Το ArtNote υπάρχει, οπότε ok σήμερα — αλλά κλείσε το κενό.
  • Fonts: το IDML στηρίζεται σε Neutraface Text (κύρια) + Minion Pro (για το ☐). Κουβαλά και stray fonts (Myriad Pro, Kozuka Mincho Pr6N) — υπολείμματα InDesign defaults/round-trip· μην τα εμπιστεύεσαι σε styles. Κράτα εγκατεστημένα τα Neutraface Text + Minion Pro· έλεγξε Type ▸ Find/Replace Font για missing.
  • Attributes στη γραμμή του fence (ΣΥΧΝΟ): ::: lines count=10 ✅ — όχι count=10 σε επόμενη γραμμή. Τρέξε lint_chapter.py πριν το convert· το πιάνει.
  • All-caps ελληνικά: ο converter αφαιρεί τον τόνο αυτόματα για styles Capitalization=AllCaps (το InDesign AllCaps τον κρατά). GREP style ΔΕΝ μπορεί να αλλάξει χαρακτήρες — γι' αυτό λύθηκε στον converter. Στο τρέχον template μόνο το Kicker είναι AllCaps — αυτό είναι το style που αγγίζει ο κανόνας.
  • Checklists: πλέον είναι πίνακας με ☐ glyph (Minion Pro) — στοιχίζονται μόνα τους, δεν χρειάζονται tab stops ούτε place_anchored. (Το παλιό anchored-Checkbox object style / pass καταργήθηκε — έβγαζε γιγάντια κουτιά· το object style Checkbox παραμένει στο template ως legacy, δεν χρησιμοποιείται.) Απαιτείται η γραμματοσειρά Minion Pro εγκατεστημένη (για το ☐).
  • Writing lines (::: lines, day): τα Lines / RunHeader / FormCheckBoxes έχουν Rule Below (επιβεβαιωμένο) για να φαίνονται οι γραμμές — προστέθηκε byte-safe· αν ξανα-εξάγεις template από InDesign, κράτα το.
  • Page size: template = βιβλίο (A5, facing pages), αλλιώς δεν ταιριάζει στο Book.

9. Εκκρεμή οπτικά τεστ (όταν ανοίξεις InDesign)

  • [ ] auto-list (bullets/numbers, restart ανά λίστα) — rendering
  • [ ] FormCheckBoxes ☐ + γραμμή — rendering
  • [ ] multi-column checklist (borderless table, ☐ κεντραρισμένα) — στοίχιση/glyph
  • [ ] {half} δίστηλα πεδία
  • [ ] place_anchored.jsx section icons (θέση/μέγεθος)
  • [ ] Art_FullPage frame σε full-page εικόνα (§4 βήμα 3)
  • [ ] TOC από ChapterTitleTOC_Chapter (αν στηθεί Book TOC)

📖 Παραγωγή βιβλίου (IDML pipeline)

Chapter authoring spec

Moodbook — Chapter Authoring Spec (ενοποιημένο)

Έκδοση 2.6 · συμβόλαιο σήμανσης (.md) → InDesign styles Template: CHAPTER_TEMPLATE_v5.idml · μηχαναγνώσιμη όψη: MOODBOOK_AUTHORING_MAP.json (v2.4)

Τα δύο αρχεία είναι μία αλήθεια, δύο όψεις. Ο converter φορτώνει το JSON· αυτό εδώ είναι για ανθρώπους. Όποια αλλαγή γίνεται και στα δύο. Τα ονόματα styles είναι ΑΚΡΙΒΗ.


1. Δομή αρχείου

  • Ένα .md ανά κεφάλαιο.
  • Front-matter ανάμεσα σε --- (μόνο στην κορυφή):
key υποχρ.; style
chapter_number όχι ChapterNum
kicker όχι Kicker
title ναι ChapterTitle
standfirst όχι Standfirst

Σειρά opener: ChapterNum → Kicker → ChapterTitle → Standfirst.


2. Στοιχεία block (εκτός fenced)

Σήμανση Style Σημείωση
## Τίτλος {icon=NAME} Headings 2 icon μόνο από: plug, shirt, shoe, ruler, clock, phone, droplet, thermometer
απλή γραμμή Body παράγραφος
**Κείμενο** (μόνη γραμμή) Body + InlineBold run-in υπο-ετικέτα
- στοιχείο (top-level) BulletList auto • από το style — μην εκπέμπεις prefix
1. στοιχείο (top-level) NumberedList auto «1.» από το style — μην εκπέμπεις prefix

3. Inline

Σήμανση Style
**bold** InlineBold
*italic* Italic (named char style, FontStyle «Book Italic»)

4. Πίνακες (GFM)

GFM με γραμμή |---|. Table → MB_BodyTable· header cells → MB_HeaderCell + TableHeaderText· σώμα → MB_BodyCell· εναλλάξ σειρές → MB_ZebraCell.


5. Fenced blocks (:::)

Παράμετροι: key=value ή key="τιμή με κενά"· πολλαπλές τιμές με |.

::: callout

Container MB_CalloutCell + Callout. Πρώτη ολόκληρη-bold φράση → CalloutLabel.

::: fields

- ΕτικέταFormLabel (+ γραμμή). **Κείμενο** μέσα → FormGroupLabel (διαχωριστής ομάδας). {half} → πεδίο μισού πλάτους. Κενή/dotted ετικέτα = custom πεδίο για ονομασία.

::: quote

Σώμα → Quote· — Συγγραφέας (τελευταία γραμμή) → QuoteAttribution.

::: prompt

Σώμα → Prompt· πρώτη ολόκληρη-bold φράση (μπορεί να έχει αριθμό) → PromptLabel.

::: checklist name="…" [columns="A|B|C"] rows=N[v2.6]

Δύο μορφές, ανάλογα με το πλήθος στηλών: - Multi-column (default MUST HAVE | I HAVE | DONE, ή 2+ στήλες): nameChecklistName, μετά ένας borderless πίνακας — στήλη label (ChecklistItem) + μία στήλη ☐ ανά κεφαλίδα (ChecklistColHeader). Κάθε κουτί = χαρακτήρας (U+2610) σε Minion Pro, κεντραρισμένο· λεπτή κάτω-γραμμή ανά σειρά. Στοίχιση από τον πίνακα — χωρίς anchored object, χωρίς place_anchored, χωρίς tab stops. - Single column (columns="X" με μία τιμή): κάθε - στοιχείοFormCheckBoxes με auto-bullet ☐ (U+2610, Minion Pro) + Rule Below.

Κενό block (χωρίς items) → όνομα + rows κενές σειρές (default 8). v2.6: το παλιό anchored Checkbox object + place_anchored καταργήθηκε (έβγαζε γιγάντια overlapping κουτιά).

::: pull

Pull — display flourish χωρίς απόδοση (≠ quote).

::: lines count=N

N γραμμές γραφής → Lines. Προαιρετική run-in **ΕΤΙΚΕΤΑ** πριν το block.

::: day count=N [lines=M]

Παράγει N μπλοκ ημέρας. Εσωτερική γραμμή = ετικέτες κεφαλίδας χωρισμένες με | (π.χ. ΗΜΕΡΑ | τοποθεσία) → DayLabel (ετικέτα + inline κενό). Από κάτω χώρος γραφής → Lines (ενσωματωμένο travel log). lines=M ορίζει ρητό αριθμό γραμμών.

::: toplist count=N title="…"

titleToplistTitle· N αριθμημένες κενές θέσεις (1.,2.,…) → ToplistItem.

::: art src="…" [layout="…"] [caption="…"] [alt="…"]NOTE-ONLY (v2.3)

ΔΕΝ τοποθετεί τίποτα. Εκπέμπει ΜΙΑ ορατή παράγραφο-σημείωση· την εικόνα τη βάζει ο χρήστης με το χέρι στο InDesign. (Άλλαξε από v2.2: η αυτόματη τοποθέτηση μέσω jsx καταργήθηκε γιατί δεν δούλευε αξιόπιστα.) - Style: ArtNote (fallback: Caption αν λείπει από το template). - Κείμενο: ⟦ ΕΙΚΟΝΑ: <src>[ — <layout>][ · <caption>] ⟧ - src = πληροφοριακό (μπορεί να αναφέρει αρχείο που δεν υπάρχει ακόμη)· τα #Uxxxx γίνονται decode μόνο για εμφάνιση. - layout = προαιρετική υπόδειξη που μπαίνει στο κείμενο (π.χ. full-page)· όχι geometry/object style. - caption → μπαίνει στο κείμενο της σημείωσης. alt = μεταδεδομένο, ΔΕΝ τυπώνεται. - Καταργήθηκαν: resolve src σε Links/, μετατροπή format, τα Art_* object styles, κάθε art jsx.


6. Διευκρίνιση -

Κρίνεται από το περικλείον block: μέσα σε ::: fields → πεδίο (FormLabel)· μέσα σε ::: checklist → στοιχείο (ChecklistItem multi-column ή FormCheckBoxes single)· top-level → bullet (BulletList).

7. Απαγορευμένα

# (μονό), ###, >, εικόνες ![](), raw HTML, code fences εκτός :::, μονό --- στο σώμα.

ΠΡΟΣΟΧΗ — attributes στη γραμμή του fence. Τα count/name/title/columns/rows/src/layout/… ΠΡΕΠΕΙ να μπαίνουν στην ΙΔΙΑ γραμμή με το ::: (π.χ. ::: lines count=10). Σε δική τους γραμμή αγνοούνται σιωπηλά και το block «σπάει». Τρέξε python FILES\lint_chapter.py πριν το convert — το πιάνει. All-caps ελληνικά: ο converter αφαιρεί αυτόματα τον τόνο σε styles Capitalization=AllCaps (π.χ. Kicker) ώστε «Τα ταξίδια» → «ΤΑ ΤΑΞΙΔΙΑ» (όχι «ΤΑΞΊΔΙΑ»).

8. ΔΕΝ προέρχονται από το .md

  • RunHeader: auto από ChapterTitle (Text Variable, master page).
  • Heading 1: δεσμευμένο/αχρησιμοποίητο από το ##.
  • Εικόνες/χάρτες/illustrations: [v2.3] καμία δεν προέρχεται από το .md. Το ::: art βγάζει ΜΟΝΟ σημείωση ⟦ ΕΙΚΟΝΑ ⟧· τις εικόνες τις τοποθετεί ο χρήστης με το χέρι στο InDesign.
  • Checkbox ☐: [v2.4] πλέον είναι το auto-bullet του FormCheckBoxes (U+2610, Minion Pro) — όχι anchored object. Το Checkbox object style μένει στο template αλλά δεν χρησιμοποιείται από τον converter.

9. Επανάληψη σε επίπεδο βιβλίου

ΔΕΝ είναι κανόνας parse. Ορίζεται στο InDesign/Book: π.χ. CHAPTER_15 = 1 ταξίδι × 5· CHAPTER_12 ΜΕΡΟΣ Α = προτροπές × 5· CHAPTER_03 = template spread ηπείρων.

✅ Translation & Content QA

Translation QA

Moodbook — Translation QA (EN / FR / DE)

Verify a Cowork translation of the book without reading the target language, and get one report per language listing every suggested correction — ready to paste back into Cowork.

It checks three things:

  1. Structural (round-trip safety): line count, # comment lines byte-identical, blank-line alignment, leading/trailing whitespace preserved, <?…?> InDesign codes, deletions kept empty, [id] order. These would break re-injection into InDesign.
  2. Mechanical (deterministic, no language needed): missing/empty/added segments, text left untranslated, leftover Greek letters, missing numbers/prices/dates, suspicious length differences, inconsistent term translations, and the glossary.
  3. LanguageTool (grammar / spelling / French & German typography) via a local LanguageTool server. Surface correctness only — it does not judge meaning; the meaning check is the bilingual review Claude/the Cowork skill does separately.

The three layers are complementary: structural stops broken re-injection, mechanical + LanguageTool catch omissions, numbers, grammar, agreement and typography. A native human proofread of the final laid-out PDF is still the gold standard for a printed book.

The Cowork side — the moodbook-translation-engine skill

The translating itself happens in Cowork, driven by a skill packaged at ..\moodbook-translation-engine\ (zip: ..\moodbook-translation-engine.zip). It does the transcreation (keeps the Moodbook voice), honours the [id] line-lock, consults this glossary.csv, runs a preflight (scripts/verify_roundtrip.py — the same structural checks as layer 1, but before the file leaves Cowork), and returns the translated .md plus a bilingual meaning review (the part LanguageTool can't do).

Upload it once: in Cowork, add the skill from moodbook-translation-engine.zip. Then hand it a chapter and say e.g. "translate to French" — it writes a file that drops straight into TARGET_FR/. So: Cowork (skill) = translate + voice + preflight + meaning review; this folder (PC) = round-trip + the authoritative QA above. The preflight and the structural layer overlap on purpose — one gate before hand-off, one after.


Folder layout

TRANSLATION_QA/
├── qa_config.json         ← paths, languages, LanguageTool settings
├── glossary.csv           ← optional key terms: el,en,fr,de
├── Run_Translation_QA.bat ← run the QA
├── Start_LanguageTool.bat ← start the local LanguageTool server
├── FILES/translation_qa.py
├── TARGET_EN/  TARGET_FR/  TARGET_DE/   ← put the translated .md here
└── REPORTS/               ← REPORT_<lang>.md (+ .json) land here

The Greek source is read from the round-trip MD (../IDML_ROUNDTRIP/MD_WORK by default — change source_dir in qa_config.json if needed). Translated files must have the same filename and keep the same [id] lines as the source.


LanguageTool (the grammar/typography layer) — ALREADY INSTALLED

A portable Java 21 + LanguageTool 6.6 are bundled under _tools\ (no system install, no admin). Nothing to set up. To use the grammar layer, just double-click Start_LanguageTool.bat and leave its window open while you run the QA.

If the LanguageTool window is closed, the QA still runs — it just does the mechanical checks and notes that LanguageTool was skipped.


How to run

  1. Translate in Cowork → save each chapter as TARGET_FR\<name>.md (same name + [id]s as the Greek source). Same for TARGET_EN\, TARGET_DE\.
  2. (For grammar) double-click Start_LanguageTool.bat and leave the window open.
  3. Double-click Run_Translation_QA.bat (or Run_Translation_QA.bat fr de for a subset).
  4. Open REPORTS\REPORT_<lang>.md → hand it to Cowork to apply the fixes.

Each report is grouped by chapter, sorted most-severe first, and every item is tied to its [id] so Cowork edits the exact paragraph (and the fix round-trips straight back into the IDML).


glossary.csv — extend it for every book

The glossary drives the consistency + key-term checks. Format (the "specific format" for input everywhere in this tool):

el,en,fr,de[,es,it,...]
Προορισμός,Destination,Destination,Reiseziel
Αναχώρηση,Departure,Départ,Abreise
  • First column must be el (the Greek key). Every other column is a language code — add as many as you want (es, it, pt…); the QA and the tools read whatever columns exist.
  • UTF-8, header row required. Empty cell = skip that language for that term.
  • Uses: proper nouns that must stay identical (Moodbook, Trikala → same in every column), and recurring labels you want translated one fixed way (planner fields, product names). The QA flags any segment where the Greek term appears but the expected translation is missing.

Ships pre-filled with the common travel-planner labels (Destination/Départ/Reiseziel, …). Adjust any you disagree with — the glossary is your source of truth.

Growing the glossary (new labels, new books)

Two helper commands (FILES\glossary_tool.py), also wired as .bat:

1) EXTRACT candidate terms from a bookGlossary_Extract.bat (or pass another book's MD folder). Mines the short, recurring Greek labels and writes glossary_candidates.csv (el,freq,en,fr,de, most frequent first, known terms pre-filled):

Glossary_Extract.bat                              (this book: ..\IDML_ROUNDTRIP\MD_WORK)
Glossary_Extract.bat "D:\...\OtherBook\MD_WORK"   (another book)

2) FILL the language columns in glossary_candidates.csv (in Cowork), then MERGEGlossary_Merge.bat (drag the filled CSV onto it, or pass its path):

Glossary_Merge.bat glossary_candidates.csv

Merge adds new terms, updates existing ones only where a cell is filled, and absorbs new language columns — so one master glossary.csv grows across all your books and languages.


What the severities mean

  • HIGH — almost certainly wrong: missing/empty segment, untranslated text, a dropped number/price/date, a missing chapter file.
  • MEDIUM — likely: leftover Greek, glossary term not used.
  • GRAMMAR — a LanguageTool grammar/spelling/typography hit (with suggestion).
  • LOW — worth a glance: length anomaly, an extra number.

Notes / limits

  • LanguageTool judges surface correctness, not meaning — pair it with the bilingual meaning review.
  • Numbers with different decimal/thousands separators are normalised before comparing, so 1.300 and 1,300 are treated as the same number.
  • German runs longer than Greek/English, so the length-anomaly threshold is deliberately lenient; tune length_ratio_flag in qa_config.json if you see noise.
✅ Translation & Content QA

Content QA

Moodbook — Greek Content QA

A second-pass quality net for original Greek prose you generate for the books (not translation — that's TRANSLATION_QA). It exists because a single generation pass can't reliably apply 3 blacklists + 26 checkpoints + 35 tags every time. This tool enforces the mechanizable ~40% deterministically, so the report becomes a concrete worklist ("resolve these N items") instead of "remember everything".

The Greek writing skills stay the source of truth (greek-language-rules, brand-voice, house-style, writing-engine, editing-engine). This tool does not replace them — it enforces the checkable subset and frees the LLM/you to spend judgement on the rest.

What it checks (three layers → one report per chapter)

  1. Language rules (deterministic, from the skill): blacklist verbs/words (flag-then-test), Formal Register, unnatural collocations, inline dash, comma-before-«και», tonos-on-caps, evergreen (prices/dates in body), word repetition.
  2. Spelling — portable Hunspell el_GR (via spylls, bundled under _tools\). Catches real misspellings LanguageTool's Greek cannot. Proper nouns/endemic terms → names.txt.
  3. Sameness (cross-chapter): repeated paragraph openers / 4-word tics across the whole corpus (template furniture excluded) → REPORT_sameness.md. Fights structural monotony.

What it does not do: judge naturalness, flow, clause-accretion, "earned warmth", "is it emotionally true". Those are not mechanizable — they stay with the LLM editorial pass (below) and a human final read for print.

content_rules.csv is generated — never hand-edit it. Edit the skill (skills-source/greek-language-rules.md, or re-copy your latest .skill) and regenerate.


How to run

  1. (once, and after editing the skill) regenerate the rules: py FILES\build_rules.py
  2. Put drafts in DRAFTS\ (round-trip [id] format or plain prose).
  3. Double-click Run_Content_QA.bat (or Run_Content_QA.bat WELCOME_paged). → REPORTS\REPORT_<chapter>.md + REPORTS\REPORT_sameness.md.
  4. Update the anti-repetition ledger: py FILES\build_ledger.pyused_moves.csv.

Flags: --nospell (skip Hunspell, faster) · --cognates (enable the noisy cognate heuristic).


Reading the report

Grouped by chapter, each finding = tag + anchor [id] + snippet + suggestion, e.g.:

- **[Verb Semantic Transfer]** `u416#2` — Λέξη προς έλεγχο: «Κρατάς» (ρίζα «κρατώ»)
    - «Κρατάς στα χέρια σου ένα Moodbook.…»
    - ➜ «φρόντισε αυτή που τον φέρνει στον κόσμο»
    - ℹ flag-then-test: OK αν είναι γειωμένη εικόνα· λάθος αν είναι calque.
  • flag-then-test: blacklist verbs (κρατώ/βλέπω/χτίζω…) are suspicions, not bans — the tool flags, the editor judges (a grounded image is fine; a bare calque is not).
  • False positives are expected and by design (e.g. noun «Κρατήσεις» matched as verb κρατώ; a dict gap on a compound). The framing is "flag → judge"; add real proper nouns to names.txt.

The LLM editorial pass — the non-mechanizable half (do NOT skip)

The linter is only ~40% of the job. The rest — naturalness, flow, clause-accretion, earned warmth — needs a separate, focused editorial pass, because generating and self-checking in one pass produces stiff, half-checked prose. Run it as its own step, ideally with a fresh eye (new context/model), giving it the linter report as the starting worklist:

  1. Generate (Cowork, moodbook-writing-engine): brief → generate→audit→rewrite → draft.
  2. Save the draft to DRAFTS\ and run this tool → the linter report.
  3. Editorial pass (Cowork, moodbook-editing-engine): read the whole chapter as a harsh editor against the full skill, resolving the linter's flagged items AND the flow/ naturalness the tool can't see. Discipline (editing-engine §3): silent-fix objective errors; query anything touching meaning/facts/voice; and for a naturalness problem re-generate the sentence fresh — do not patch it (patching stitches a fix into a flawed line; re-flowing reads natural).
  4. Re-run this tool → target: zero mechanical findings. Repeat until clean.
  5. For a printed book, a human native read of the typeset proof remains the ceiling.

Split the checklist into focused sub-passes (one concern each) rather than one omni-pass — that's how the deep rules actually get applied.


The registries (growable data, like the translation glossary)

  • content_rules.csv — generated; the blacklist/keep data. Grow by editing the skill.
  • style_sheet.csvel,chosen,note: one fixed form per recurring term (ΑΤΜ vs ATM, transliterations, «ΚΑΛΟ ΝΑ ΞΕΡΕΙΣ» template). Manual; enforce consistency across chapters.
  • used_moves.csv — per-chapter opener/closing/themes (+ devices/images for you/Cowork to annotate). Cowork reads it before writing a new chapter to pick different moves.
  • names.txt — Hunspell allowlist; add a line whenever a correct word is flagged [Spelling].

Honest scope

Mechanical + spelling + sameness are enforced 100% every run. Naturalness/flow/emotion are not — they need the editorial pass and, for print, a human. Cognate/κακοφωνία detection is a heuristic (off by default) because it needs morphology. The value here is that the report turns "remember to apply every rule" into a short, concrete list — and never forgets the mechanical part.

🧩 Design system & theme data

Design system

Moodbook Design System

Visual language for all Moodbook marketing assets — ad creative (Meta, Google), social, lifecycle/email, website art direction, and product-cover artwork. Greek-first brand (moodbook.gr), handmade premium journals, made in Trikala.

Brand colors: navy #193150 + amber #F8990F (from the logo), on a neutral #F1F1F1 digital canvas. Full reasoning layer in DESIGN_SYSTEM.md.

This package turns the spec into code: the two JSON files under tokens/ are the single source of truth, and everything else (CSS variables, the Tailwind theme, the per-format canvas templates, and the rendered exports) is generated from them. Nothing hard-codes a hex, font, or dimension.

    └── exports/                   ← rendered images (after `npm run export`)

Convention: tokens/ + assets/ + scripts/ are source; build/ and tailwind.config.js are regenerated. Edit the JSON, then rebuild — never hand-edit generated files.


Install

Requires Node ≥ 18 (developed on Node 24). The export step uses Puppeteer, which downloads a headless Chromium on install.

cd moodbook-design-system
npm install

Build (regenerate everything from the tokens)

npm run build

That runs, in order:

step script output
build:tokens Style Dictionary v4 (DTCG) — resolves {core.color.x} aliases build/tokens.css, tailwind.config.js, build/tokens.json
build:logo re-colour the color logo by its alpha mask assets/logo/*-mono-black.png, *-reversed-white.png
build:templates per-format canvases from asset-specs.json build/templates/*.html + manifest.json
build:preview one-page gallery of all templates build/index.html

Run any step on its own with npm run build:tokens, build:logo, etc.

Preview (visual review)

Serve build/ over HTTP (the templates load tokens.css via relative paths) and open the index:

npx serve build           # or: python -m http.server 8755 --directory build
# open http://localhost:8755/index.html

Each card embeds the real template in a scaled iframe. Toggle the safe-area guide with the checkbox inside each canvas (also visible in the standalone build/templates/<key>.html).

Export (render to images)

npm run export                                   # all formats → build/exports/*.png (sRGB/72dpi)
node scripts/export.mjs --only meta_feed_portrait,web_hero_desktop
node scripts/export.mjs --format webp --quality 82
node scripts/export.mjs --scale 2               # 2× raster (still sRGB digital)
node scripts/export.mjs --print                 # prints the CMYK/print path, renders nothing

The safe-area guide and toolbar are hidden automatically in exports.


Using the tokens in code

CSS — import the variables and reference them:

@import "tokens.css";
.cta { background: var(--color-cta-primary-bg); color: var(--color-cta-primary-text);
       border-radius: var(--radius-md); font-family: var(--font-brand); }
.cover-title { font-family: var(--font-title); }  /* per-concept slot, see below */

Tailwind — extend from the generated theme:

// your tailwind.config.js
import moodbook from "./moodbook-design-system/tailwind.config.js";
export default { presets: [moodbook], content: [/* … */] };
// → bg-cta-primary-bg, text-text-primary, font-brand, rounded-md, shadow-soft, …

The title font is a slot, not a fixed font (§4.3)

There is no single Moodbook title font — each book/campaign title is set in a face chosen to express that concept. So --font-title (and Tailwind font-title) is a slot that defaults to the brand sans and is overridden per concept:

.wedding-cover { --font-title: "GFS Didot", serif; }   /* elegant / keepsake */
.wtf-cover     { --font-title: "Anton", sans-serif; }  /* bold / irreverent */

The standing brand sans is --font-brand (Cera Pro / Neutraface). See DESIGN_SYSTEM.md §4 for the per-concept selection method and the Greek display shortlist.


Print (CMYK / 300dpi / 3mm bleed) — intentionally NOT auto-rendered

Chromium renders sRGB only, so the export script implements the digital path correctly and does not fake CMYK. To produce print-ready files:

  1. Author print layouts in InDesign/IDML (the brand already runs an IDML pipeline), or build print PDFs with a CMYK-aware renderer.
  2. Flatten to PDF/X-1a with an ICC profile (FOGRA/ISO Coated) via Ghostscript (-sColorConversionStrategy=CMYK -dProcessColorModel=/DeviceCMYK) or Scribus' scripter.
  3. Add 3mm bleed + 5mm safety and the spine band (see tokens/asset-specs.jsoncovers.*). Keep critical text ≥8mm from trim; grain parallel to spine; design for matte velvet.

Run node scripts/export.mjs --print to print this guidance.


Open TODO(confirm) items (from DESIGN_SYSTEM.md §15)

These are carried into the generated files as TODO(confirm) comments — current values are safe approximations; none block the build:

  1. Neutraface Greek coverage — if weak, restrict Neutraface to Latin and use Cera Pro for all Greek. (Cera Pro Greek is confirmed usable.) --font-brand already lists Cera Pro first.
  2. Velvet hex — exact xanadu (#738678) and sapphire (#125E7A) to be confirmed from the velvet supplier. Tagged in tokens.css and tailwind.config.js.
  3. Logo SVG + variants — only moodbook-logo-color.png was supplied. The mono/reversed PNGs are auto-derived placeholders (re-coloured by the color PNG's alpha). A true SVG and proper mono/reversed marks should be exported from the vector master (moodbook-logo-master.pdf, not supplied). Also confirm whether an icon-only sun submark exists for favicons/avatars.
  4. --font-title — variable by design (§4.3); set per concept, not a single locked font.

v1.1.0-draft — token pipeline (Style Dictionary v4 / DTCG), Tailwind theme, per-format canvas templates with safe-area guides, and a digital render/export pipeline.

ΕΡΓΟ: Μετατροπή του Moodbook Design System σε κώδικα και ανέβασμα σε νέο μόνιμο branch.

ΠΛΑΙΣΙΟ
Δουλεύεις μέσα στο repo του Moodbook. Σου έχω βάλει τον φάκελο `moodbook-design-system/`
(README.md, DESIGN_SYSTEM.md, HANDOFF_TO_CODE.md, tokens/design-tokens.json, tokens/asset-specs.json, assets/logo/*).
ΜΗΝ βασιστείς σε προηγούμενη γνώση σου για design systems ή για το brand — η γνώση σου εδώ
μπορεί να είναι παρωχημένη. ΜΟΝΗ αυθεντία είναι τα αρχεία αυτά. Διάβασέ τα ΠΛΗΡΩΣ πριν γράψεις κώδικα
(ιδίως DESIGN_SYSTEM.md §3 χρώματα, §4 τυπογραφία, §11 asset recipes, §14 build targets, §15 governance).

SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH
Τα δύο JSON στο tokens/ είναι η μόνη πηγή τιμών. ΠΟΤΕ μην κάνεις hard-code hex, γραμματοσειρές ή
διαστάσεις στα templates/CSS — όλα να παράγονται από τα tokens. Το `design-tokens.json` είναι DTCG
(core primitives + semantic aliases)· κατά το build ανάλυσε τα aliases `{core.color.x}` στο semantic layer.

ΖΗΤΟΥΜΕΝΑ ARTIFACTS (build targets, §14)
1. Στήσε pipeline με Style Dictionary v4 (DTCG) ώστε το JSON να παραμένει η πηγή και να ξαναπαράγονται όλα.
2. `tokens.css` — CSS custom properties από το semantic layer (π.χ. --color-bg-site, --color-cta-primary-bg,
   --font-brand, --space-4 κ.λπ.).
3. `tailwind.config.js` — theme extension που χαρτογραφεί τα ίδια tokens (colors, fontFamily, fontSize,
   spacing, borderRadius, boxShadow).
4. Per-format canvas templates (HTML/SVG) για ΚΑΘΕ format key στο asset-specs.json:
   - σωστές διαστάσεις,
   - toggleable safe-area guide layer (overlay που ανοίγει/κλείνει),
   - συνδεδεμένα με τα CSS vars (όχι σταθερές τιμές),
   - ενσωματωμένο logo από assets/logo με ΣΩΣΤΟ variant ανά φόντο (color/mono σε light, reversed-white σε
     navy/σκούρα/φωτό),
   - ακολούθησε τα recipes του §11 ανά τύπο (Meta feed/story/carousel, Google Display/Demand Gen, web hero, cover mockup).
5. Export script (Node) που κάνει render τα templates στο σωστό output_profile ανά format:
   digital = sRGB/72dpi (PNG/JPG/WebP). Για print = CMYK/300dpi + 3mm bleed: αν δεν γίνεται αξιόπιστα από
   HTML, ΜΗΝ το ψευτο-υλοποιήσεις — υλοπoίησε σωστά το digital path και ΓΡΑΨΕ καθαρά τι χρειάζεται για το print
   path (π.χ. lib/εργαλείο) ως πρόταση.
6. Ένα index/preview HTML που δείχνει όλα τα templates μαζί για γρήγορο visual review.
7. Build README με οδηγίες εγκατάστασης/τρεξίματος (install, build tokens, render/export).

ΚΑΝΟΝΕΣ ΣΥΜΠΕΡΙΦΟΡΑΣ
- Ο ΤΙΤΛΟΣ είναι μεταβλητός ανά concept (§4.3): υλοποίησέ τον ως slot/prop/CSS var (π.χ. --font-title),
  ΟΧΙ σταθερή γραμματοσειρά. Το σταθερό brand sans είναι Cera/Neutraface (--font-brand).
- Για τα to-confirm του §15 (ελληνική κάλυψη Neutraface, ακριβή velvet hex, true SVG logo) ΜΗΝ εφεύρεις τιμές:
  άφησε σχόλια `// TODO(confirm): ...` και χρησιμοποίησε τις τρέχουσες προσεγγιστικές τιμές των tokens.
- Δομή φακέλων καθαρή (π.χ. /design-system για input, /design-system/build για παραγόμενα). Πρότεινε αν έχεις
  καλύτερη σύμβαση για το repo.

GIT WORKFLOW (σημαντικό)
- Δημιούργησε ΝΕΟ ΜΟΝΙΜΟ branch με όνομα `design-system` από το τρέχον branch (μην αγγίξεις/merge στο main).
- Commit: ολόκληρο τον φάκελο `moodbook-design-system/` + όλα τα παραγόμενα artifacts.
- Μηνύματα commit περιγραφικά (Conventional Commits, π.χ. `feat(design-system): tokens, tailwind theme,

- Push το branch στο origin. Άνοιξε draft PR προς main για review, αλλά ΜΗΝ κάνεις merge και ΜΗΝ σβήσεις το branch.
- Χωρίς force-push. Αν χρειαστεί κάποια μη αναστρέψιμη ενέργεια, ρώτησέ με πρώτα.

Metaobject export guide

Metaobject & Metafield — Full Export Guide

Copy-paste GraphQL Admin API queries to export everything: every metafield definition (per owner type), every metaobject definition, every metaobject entry, and the actual metafield values on resources. Plus Bulk Operations for exporting at scale with zero pagination.

Why GraphQL and not the Admin UI: GraphQL sees everything, including DRAFT metaobjects and reference values the storefront / all_products cannot reach. (That blind spot cost us a full debugging cycle on the reviews work.)


0. How to run these

  1. Install https://shopify-graphiql-app.shopifycloud.com/login into the store.
  2. When prompted for scopes, enable at least: read_products, read_metaobjects, read_metaobject_definitions, read_content, read_customers, read_orders, read_markets, read_locations, read_companies.
  3. Paste a query, set the Variables panel (bottom-left) when a query uses $variables, run, copy the JSON.

Option B — curl / Admin API token (for automation + Bulk downloads)

Create a custom app (Admin → Settings → Apps → Develop apps), grant the read scopes above, install, copy the Admin API access token, then:

curl -s -X POST \
  "https://moodbook.myshopify.com/admin/api/2025-01/graphql.json" \
  -H "X-Shopify-Access-Token: shpat_XXXXXXXX" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"{ shop { name } }"}'

Use --data-binary @query.json for big queries. Bump the API version (2025-01) as Shopify releases newer stable versions.

Pagination (every connection)

Connections return max 250 per page. Every query below includes pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor }. To get the next page, pass the endCursor as the after: variable and repeat until hasNextPage is false.

Rate/cost

Each response has extensions.cost.throttleStatus. If you get throttled, lower first: or wait for currentlyAvailable to refill (restoreRate/sec).


1. Metaobject DEFINITIONS (the schema of every metaobject type)

query MetaobjectDefinitions($after: String) {
  metaobjectDefinitions(first: 100, after: $after) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        name
        type
        displayNameKey
        access { admin storefront }
        capabilities {
          publishable { enabled }
          translatable { enabled }
          renderable  { enabled }
          onlineStore { enabled }
        }
        fieldDefinitions {
          key
          name
          required
          type { name }
          validations { name value }
        }
      }
    }
    pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor }
  }
}

Variables: { "after": null } (then feed endCursor). This gives you the full list of metaobject types — you need each type value for Section 2.


2. Metaobject ENTRIES (all rows of one type, incl. DRAFT)

Run once per type (use the type values from Section 1).

query MetaobjectEntries($type: String!, $after: String) {
  metaobjects(type: $type, first: 100, after: $after) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        handle
        displayName
        updatedAt
        capabilities { publishable { status } }   # ACTIVE vs DRAFT
        fields {
          key
          value      # references come back as GID(s) — resolve via Section 1/2
          type
        }
      }
    }
    pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor }
  }
}

Variables: { "type": "review_item", "after": null } Repeat for product_seo_hub, brand, organization, audience_segment, use_case_scenario, keyword_taxonomy, … (every type from Section 1).

Reference fields (metaobject_reference, list.metaobject_reference, product_reference, file_reference, article_reference, …) export as GIDs in value. Cross-reference them with the corresponding entries / resources to fully resolve.


3. Metafield DEFINITIONS (per owner type)

metafieldDefinitions requires an ownerType. Run once per owner type.

query MetafieldDefinitions($ownerType: MetafieldOwnerType!, $after: String) {
  metafieldDefinitions(first: 250, ownerType: $ownerType, after: $after) {
    edges {
      node {
        namespace
        key
        name
        description
        ownerType
        type { name }
        validations { name value }
        access { admin storefront }
      }
    }
    pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor }
  }
}

Run with each of these ownerType values (the practical set for a store):

PRODUCT, PRODUCTVARIANT, COLLECTION, CUSTOMER, ORDER, DRAFTORDER,
COMPANY, COMPANY_LOCATION, LOCATION, MARKET, BLOG, ARTICLE, PAGE, SHOP,
DISCOUNT, MEDIA_IMAGE

Example variables: { "ownerType": "PRODUCT", "after": null }


4. Metafield VALUES on resources (the actual data)

Definitions (Section 3) are the schema; the values live on each resource. Pattern (products shown; swap the connection for collections / articles / etc.):

4.1 Products + their metafields

query ProductMetafields($after: String) {
  products(first: 50, after: $after) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        handle
        title
        metafields(first: 100) {
          edges { node { namespace key type value } }
        }
      }
    }
    pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor }
  }
}

4.2 Variants + metafields

query VariantMetafields($after: String) {
  productVariants(first: 100, after: $after) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        sku
        product { handle }
        metafields(first: 50) { edges { node { namespace key type value } } }
      }
    }
    pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor }
  }
}

4.3 Collections / Articles / Pages / Shop (same shape)

# Collections
{ collections(first: 50) { edges { node { id handle title
  metafields(first: 100) { edges { node { namespace key type value } } } } }
  pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor } } }

# Articles (Blog posts)
{ articles(first: 50) { edges { node { id handle title
  metafields(first: 100) { edges { node { namespace key type value } } } } }
  pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor } } }

# Pages
{ pages(first: 50) { edges { node { id handle title
  metafields(first: 100) { edges { node { namespace key type value } } } } }
  pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor } } }

# Shop-level metafields (single object, no pagination)
{ shop { name metafields(first: 250) { edges { node { namespace key type value } } } } }

4.4 Single resource by handle / id (targeted, e.g. the dummy product)

{
  product(id: "gid://shopify/Product/15784005468492") {
    title handle status
    metafields(first: 100) { edges { node { namespace key type value } } }
  }
}

5. Bulk Operations — export EVERYTHING, no pagination

For "literally everything" at scale, the Bulk Operations API runs a query server-side over the entire dataset and returns one JSONL file. Only one bulk op runs at a time per shop.

5.1 Start a bulk export (all products + all their metafields)

mutation {
  bulkOperationRunQuery(
    query: """
    {
      products {
        edges {
          node {
            id
            handle
            title
            metafields {
              edges { node { namespace key type value } }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
    """
  ) {
    bulkOperation { id status }
    userErrors { field message }
  }
}

Bulk rules: omit first:/after: on connections (the bulk engine paginates for you); nested connections become separate JSONL lines linked by __parentId. Keep nesting ≤ 2 levels of connections.

5.2 Poll until done

{
  currentBulkOperation {
    id
    status            # CREATED → RUNNING → COMPLETED (or FAILED)
    errorCode
    objectCount
    fileSize
    url               # download link (valid ~1 week) when COMPLETED
    partialDataUrl
  }
}

When status is COMPLETED, download url — it's a JSONL file (one JSON object per line).

5.3 Bulk export metaobject entries (per type)

Bulk can also run on a single metaobject type:

mutation {
  bulkOperationRunQuery(
    query: """
    { metaobjects(type: "review_item") { edges { node {
        id handle displayName type
        fields { key value type }
    } } } }
    """
  ) { bulkOperation { id status } userErrors { field message } }
}

Run one bulk op per metaobject type (get the type list from Section 1). Wait for each to COMPLETE (poll 5.2) before starting the next — one bulk op at a time.


6. Suggested full-export workflow

  1. Section 1 → get all metaobject definitions + the list of types.
  2. Section 3 → metafield definitions for each owner type (PRODUCT first).
  3. Section 2 → entries for each metaobject type (or 5.3 bulk per type).
  4. Section 4 / 5.1 → metafield values on products (bulk for the full catalog), then collections / articles / pages / shop as needed.
  5. Save each result as <thing>.json (or .jsonl for bulk) and keep them together — the reference GIDs in one file resolve against the others.

Quick reference — what each section answers

Need Section
What metaobject types exist + their fields 1
All rows of a metaobject type (incl. DRAFT) 2 (or 5.3)
What metafields are defined on products/etc. 3
The actual metafield values on resources 4 (or 5.1)
Everything, whole catalog, no pagination 5

Tip: keep a recent stable API version in the endpoint (/admin/api/2025-01/…). The GraphiQL app uses the latest automatically; for curl/bulk pin it explicitly.

🧩 Design system & theme data

Metadata schema

Schema snapshot — metafield & metaobject definitions

Version-controlled schema only snapshot of the Moodbook store's custom data definitions. Committed so the structure is visible/diffable in Git.

  • Source: shopify-full-export.sh run on 2026-05-31 (store moodstaff).
  • Contents: metaobject definitions + metafield definitions per owner type. These describe the shape of the data (namespaces, keys, types, validations, capabilities) — no entries, no metafield values, no PII.

Files

  • metaobject-definitions.json — all 30 metaobject types + their field definitions.
  • metafield-definitions-<OWNER>.json — metafield definitions per owner type (PRODUCT 35, PRODUCTVARIANT 11, ORDER 7, SHOP 7, CUSTOMER 4, ARTICLE/COLLECTION/ PAGE 1 each; others 0). Files are the raw GraphQL responses.

What is intentionally NOT here (kept local / git-ignored)

The actual data — metaobject entries (reviews, SEO hubs, …) and resource metafield values — stays out of Git because it is store data / mild PII (e.g., reviewer names). It lives only in the local shopify-export-*/ folders (git-ignored). See ../METAOBJECT_EXPORT_GUIDE.md.

Refresh

Re-run the export, then copy the definition files here:

bash shopify-full-export.sh
f=$(ls -dt shopify-export-*/ | head -1)
cp "${f}metaobject-definitions.json" "${f}"metafield-definitions-*.json schema/
git add schema/ && git commit -m "chore(schema): refresh definitions snapshot"

Related: ../METAOBJECT_IMPORT_PIPELINE_DESIGN.md proposes an authored data/ format for writing definitions/entries back to Shopify. This schema/ folder is the read-only current-state reference.

Delivery date extraction

Delivery Date Extraction

Cron-driven script that checks delivery status of fulfilled Shopify orders by polling courier APIs / tracking pages, and writes the delivery datetime back to each order as a metafield.

Used downstream to trigger review-request emails after the parcel has actually been delivered.

Couriers covered

Courier Method Notes
BoxNow Partner API (OAuth2 client_credentials) Authenticated, structured JSON, very stable
Courier Center HTML scrape (https://www.courier.gr/track/result/?tracknr=...) Server-rendered, ISO-8859-7 encoding. Throttled to 1 req / 1.5s
DHL (skipped — Shopify handles natively)

What it writes

For every fulfilled order in the last 30 days, on each successful check, the script upserts these order metafields (namespace custom):

Key Type When set
delivered_at date_time Once, when the parcel is first observed delivered (ISO 8601 UTC)
delivery_status single_line_text_field Every run. Values: delivered_home, delivered_pickup, in_transit, not_found, lookup_failed
delivery_last_check_at date_time Every run

Important — metafield definitions: create these definitions once in Shopify Admin so they become visible in the order detail UI:

Settings → Custom data → Orders → Add definition

Namespace + Key Name Type
custom.delivered_at Delivered at Date and time
custom.delivery_status Delivery status Single line text
custom.delivery_last_check_at Delivery last check Date and time

The script will write metafields even without definitions (they'll exist in API responses), but creating the definitions makes them appear cleanly in the order page sidebar.

Local setup

# 1. Clone, cd, create virtualenv (optional)
python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\activate    # PowerShell on Windows

# 2. Install deps
pip install -r requirements.txt

# 3. Copy env template and fill values
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env

# 4. First run with DRY_RUN=1 — no metafields written
python delivery_tracker.py

# 5. When happy, set DRY_RUN=0 in .env and run for real

GitHub Actions deployment

  1. Create a new private GitHub repo and push this folder.
  2. Repo → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret, add each: - SHOPIFY_DOMAIN (e.g. moodstaff.myshopify.com) - SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN (shpat_...) - BOXNOW_CLIENT_ID - BOXNOW_CLIENT_SECRET - BOXNOW_PARTNER_ID
  3. The workflow .github/workflows/track-deliveries.yml runs every 4 hours automatically. You can also trigger it manually from the Actions tab → Track DeliveriesRun workflow.

Cost

GitHub Actions free tier on private repos: 2000 min/month. This job runs ~3 minutes × 6 times/day × 30 days = ~540 min/month — well within free tier.

Phase 2 (future): trigger review email

Once custom.delivered_at is reliably populated, the email trigger can be implemented in any of these ways (out of scope for this repo):

  • Shopify Flow with trigger Order metafield updated + condition delivery_status equals delivered_home or delivered_pickup, action send-email after-delay-7-days
  • Klaviyo / Mailchimp customer journey listening to a metafield-update webhook
  • A second scheduled job that finds orders where delivered_at is between 7 and 8 days ago and review_email_sent is unset, then sends + marks

2. The user (Stelios)

Business profile (don't re-derive — these are established facts): - Sole proprietor running Urban Print (production) + Moodbook (consumer brand) under one legal entity - Premium positioning — never propose discount-based promotions - Greek e-commerce, primarily mobile traffic (~83%) - Wedding/Pregnancy/Grandparent/Parent/Baptism/Baby personalized journals - Currently 4 active campaigns, planning expansion to 19 product campaigns - AOV currently €20.83 configured / €22.20 actual (drift to recalibrate) - ~178 orders/month, mostly from paid traffic (~66%) - Returning customer rate: ~8% (acquisition economics dominate)

Technical profile: - Junior technical level - Business expert - Defers to AI on technical decisions - Retains business decision authority - Expects clear options + recommendations, not bare technical descriptions

Communication preferences: - Greek for business content (product names, copy, narratives) - English for technical documentation - Direct, no fluff - Surface findings before applying fixes - Multiple options with trade-offs > single recommendation


3. Established working patterns (DO NOT BREAK THESE)

These patterns emerged through extensive collaboration and have proven valuable. Continue them.

Pattern 1: Smoke test before parallel work

When multiple PRs would run in parallel and share infrastructure, always open one test PR first to validate the shared infrastructure end-to-end. Caught 3+ distinct bugs that would have been hard to isolate in parallel.

Pattern 2: Halt and verify before applying fix

Before executing any API call, infrastructure change, or "fix" — verify it works as expected. The previous session caught: - bypass_pull_request_allowances proposed for branch protection (would not have worked) - --repo flag missing in auto-merge.yml (would have crashed) - allow_auto_merge: false at repo level (would have blocked all auto-merges)

If you propose a technical fix, run it through verification (read API docs, check workflow body, etc.) before recommending execution.

Pattern 3: First end-to-end exercise flag

When a new contract is being exercised for the first time (new module, new API integration, new workflow), explicitly flag it as such. Triggers extra scrutiny moment, both from Claude Code and from Stelios review.

Pattern 4: Math verification before path commitment

Multiple times in previous session, I (the AI consultant) proposed math reasoning that didn't reconcile when Claude Code ran the calculations. For any non-trivial multi-step economic formula, ask Claude Code to verify the calculation before committing to a path.

Pattern 5: Don't push yaml value changes through amendments docs without confirmation

Spec amendments are methodology specifications. They should not silently shift business-relevant values (BE thresholds, zone boundaries, AOV) without explicit Stelios confirmation.

Pattern 6: AI proposes, Stelios approves, system applies

Never automatic mutations to Google Ads, Shopify, or any external system. Every change goes through: 1. AI analyzes and proposes 2. PR created with proposed changes 3. Stelios reviews 4. Stelios approves 5. System applies

This is the core safety principle. Don't propose architectures that violate it.


4. Recent critical decisions (with rationale)

Decision: Methodology A for safety margins (PR #11)

After the v1.3 shipping correction, the math for break-even ROAS didn't reconcile cleanly with the original Module 0.6 spec. We had 3 options: - A: Keep yaml as-is, document the "shipping safety on profit" wart - B: Adopt mathematically coherent Methodology, update yaml (zones shift) - C: Hybrid with two BE values

Chose Methodology A. The shipping incoherence is mathematically odd but operationally negligible (€0.08/order, 0.5% of CM). Proper shipping risk modeling deferred to future module. Zone reclassifications avoided.

Decision: PAT bridge instead of ruleset migration (22/05)

GitHub Rulesets don't allow Integration bypass actors in personal repos. We have 3 paths: - Path 1: Migrate to GitHub org (proper fix, ~half-day work) - Path 2: PAT bridge (5-min fix, bridge until org migration) - Path 3: Accept failure (operationally bad)

Chose Path 2 with PAT scoped to Contents: Read and write only on this single repo. Org migration tracked as long-term item.

Decision: 7-day rolling window for zones (Module 1 v2 amendment)

Daily zone classification was misleading due to: - Conversion lag (up to 3 days) - Customer journey latency (4+ days) - Low daily volume creating noise

Module 1 v2 will use 7-day rolling for zone classification. Daily values shown informationally without zone badge. Campaigns with <5 days of history return insufficient_data.

Decision: Sequential PRs not parallel (after first finding)

Originally planned 3 parallel PRs (Module 0.6 Phase B-D + Module 0.7 + Module 1 v2). After smoke tests surfaced 2 distinct bugs sequentially, we serialized: 1. Module 0.7 first 2. Module 0.6 Phase B+E next 3. Module 1 v2 only after 0.6 stabilizes

This was the right call.

Decision: Light pre-processing with Haiku for Module 0.8 audits

For the planned Campaign Audit Data Gatherer (Module 0.8), light pre-processing happens with Haiku (pattern matching, statistical flagging, executive summary). Strategic analysis stays with Opus (in consulting chats). Cost: ~$0.20/month for the Haiku layer.


5. The roadmap

Immediate next priority

Module 0.8 — Campaign Audit Data Gatherer (NEW, agreed in previous session, spec to be written)

Purpose: Automate the data gathering step of the bi-weekly campaign audits that Stelios currently does manually in consulting chats. Saves 1-2 hours/week.

Specifications (agreed): - Cadence: Monday and Thursday morning (06:00 EET, before Stelios wakes up) - Storage: Google Drive (folder structure: moodbook-audits/YYYY-MM-DD-audit.md) - Windows: Multi-window approach - 3-4 days (recent slice) - 14 days (stable tactical view, used for search term sample sizing) - 30 days (strategic context, used for asset performance) - Detail level: Standard to exhausting (between Sections 1-10 described below) - Pre-processing: Light Haiku-based statistical flagging - Priority: Before Module 1 v2 (provides immediate consulting workflow value)

Sections to include (1-10): 1. Performance overview (3 windows) 2. Search terms analysis (14d, top 50) 3. Asset performance (30d, with Low rating flags) 4. Audience insights (demographics, devices, geo, time-of-day) 5. Bid strategy + signals (tROAS, optimization score, recommendations) 6. Shopping feed health (PMax product groups) 7. Conversion path 8. Portfolio overview (cannibalization, budget allocation) 9. Recent changes log (from repo state) 10. Top-of-mind issues (Haiku pre-processed executive summary)

Spec document to be written: MODULE_0_8_CAMPAIGN_AUDIT_DATA.md

Short-term (next 1-2 sessions)

  • AOV recalibration: €20.83 → €22.20 (drift signal already detected). Affects BE math. Careful PR with zone impact table. Should happen before Module 1 v2 to avoid moving target.
  • Module 0.6 Phase C — SensitivityAnalyzer
  • Module 0.6 Phase Dtools/sensitivity.py CLI tool

Medium-term

  • Module 1 v2 — Profit-aware reporting + anomaly detection (full spec ready, 4-5 days)
  • SQLite metrics DB
  • Day-of-week Z-score with rolling fallback
  • Rolling 7-day window for zones (replaces daily)
  • Monthly break-even tracker with cumulative loss carry-forward (no win carry-forward)
  • tROAS auto-read from Google Ads API
  • Email redesign with glossary links instead of tooltips
  • Sonnet narrative for anomalies
  • GitHub Issues for critical anomalies
  • First commit: §0.1 cleanup (rename used_in_calculationsnet_to_business)

Long-term

  • GitHub org migration (replaces PAT bridge, enables rulesets bypass actors)
  • Module 2 — Negative Keywords automation (Haiku classifier + PR proposals)
  • Module 3 — Customer Match / RFM (Data Manager API, lapsed exclusion)
  • Module 4 — Custom Labels audit (retrofit)
  • Module 5 — Creative Fatigue + GenAI ad copy (Sonnet copywriter)
  • Module 6 — tROAS Calibration
  • Module 7 — Seasonal Calendar
  • Module 8 — Mobile Funnel/GA4 audit (deferred — GA4 issues)
  • Module 9 — Forecast/Saturation CLI
  • Module 10 — Recommendations Triage
  • Future shipping risk module (proper modeling)

6. Outstanding follow-up items

# Item Priority
1 Add allow_auto_merge: true enable to setup_branch_protection.sh Low
2 Add pre-flight check to setup_branch_protection.sh (verifies validation-pipeline has run before applying) Low
3 Calendar reminder for PAT rotation (January 2027, expires 20/02/2027) Stelios — done

7. Critical invariants (in CLAUDE.md, must be preserved)

  1. Premium positioning: Never discount-based promotions
  2. Greek primary, English in code/logs
  3. Brand glossary: "βιβλίο" not "ημερολόγιο" for grandparent campaigns; gift framing; religious sensitivity for baptism
  4. Books = 6% VAT, never 24%
  5. PII hashing required (SHA-256) before persistence
  6. DRY_RUN=true default, no mutations without PR
  7. Cost caps are hard limits ($25/month Anthropic budget)
  8. Module 0.5 conversion value invariant: ALWAYS use conversion_value_net_eur for break-even comparisons
  9. Module 0.6 safety margin invariant
  10. Module 0.7 5-layer validation pipeline invariants
  11. Module 0.6 v1.3 shipping accounting invariant: shipping is NET PROFIT (-€0.42 cost = +€0.42 profit)

8. Recent files in the repo (key references)

Specs (specification documents/): - MODULE_0_6_SAFETY_AND_SENSITIVITY.md — original Phase A-D spec - MODULE_0_6_AMENDMENTS.md — Phase A clarifications - MODULE_0_6_V1_3_COMPAT_AMENDMENTS.md — Methodology A documentation - MODULE_0_7_AUTOMATED_VALIDATION.md — original validation pipeline spec - MODULE_0_7_AMENDMENTS.md — threshold updates + email conventions - MODULE_1_v2.md — original Module 1 v2 spec (1025 lines, comprehensive) - MODULE_1_v2_AMENDMENTS.md — rolling windows, tROAS auto-read, MTD redesign

Documentation (docs/): - economics_history.md — full audit trail of economics.yaml changes (v1.0 → v1.3) - branch_protection_via_rulesets.md — current status: PAT bridge active, awaiting org migration - SETUP.md — bootstrap instructions

9. Things NOT to do

  • Don't propose architectural changes to bypass the AI-proposes-Stelios-approves principle
  • Don't suggest discount-based promotional strategies
  • Don't propose silent yaml value changes
  • Don't skip the verification step on technical fixes
  • Don't propose 3+ parallel PRs that share infrastructure (smoke test first)
  • Don't bypass the validation pipeline for production changes
  • Don't propose auto-pause logic for campaigns (even critical anomalies just open Issues; Stelios decides)
  • Don't introduce parallel-methodology calculations in reports (Module 0.6 violated this once, fixed in Phase B+E migration)
  • Don't propose actions that require Google Ads API write scope beyond what's already approved (token approval pending Basic Access)

10. Communication style for this user

  • Greek for business content, brand voice
  • English for technical documentation
  • Direct, concise — Stelios reads on mobile while making coffee
  • Multiple options with trade-offs > one prescription
  • Surface findings, don't hide them
  • Explicit "halt and ask" when uncertain
  • Reflective when patterns are established (e.g., "this confirms Pattern X from previous work")
  • Honest about own limitations (e.g., math verification, complex multi-step reasoning)

11. Day-1 task in new session

FIRST PRIORITY — AOV discrepancy investigation (added 22/05 evening)

Stelios verified actual Shopify AOV values: - Q1 2026: €20.01 - YTD 2026 (Ιαν-Μάι): €20.40 - 2025 full year: €19.74

But the daily-health-check Layer 3 reports actual AOV as €22.20. These don't reconcile. The €22.20 figure does not match any Shopify-derived view of the business.

This is likely a measurement bug, not a drift signal. Before recommending AOV recalibration:

  1. Read the AOV computation code in the health check - Likely in tools/health_check.py or src/validation/layer_3_reality.py - Identify: what window, what filter, what aggregation method
  2. Re-run the same query against Shopify manually to reproduce
  3. Identify the discrepancy source: - Bug in the formula (e.g., including shipping/VAT incorrectly) - Different window than expected - Filter mismatch (e.g., including refunded orders) - Sample bias in the rolling window
  4. Document the finding before proposing any fix

Only after the discrepancy is understood, propose either: - Fix the health_check bug (preferred if confirmed) - Update economics.yaml AOV from €20.83 to the verified actual value (likely ~€20.40, not €22.20) - Document a known difference between two valid methodologies

Stelios's observation: AOV should not be static forever. A proper quarterly recalibration mechanism makes sense, but only after the measurement is trusted.

THEN — alternative paths after the AOV investigation is closed:

When Stelios opens the new session, expect one of:

Option A: He asks for the Module 0.8 spec (Campaign Audit Data Gatherer) → Write MODULE_0_8_CAMPAIGN_AUDIT_DATA.md based on §5 above

Option B: He asks about Module 0.6 Phase C-D → Resume Phase C-D from original Module 0.6 spec

Option C: He asks about something else entirely → Listen first, don't assume direction

In all cases, start by acknowledging that previous session ended with daily-report restoration via PAT bridge AND with an open AOV measurement discrepancy that should be the first investigation.


12. Quick verification commands for new session start

# Verify current main state
cd moodbook-ads-bot && git pull origin main
git log -5 --oneline

# Verify economics state
python tools/validate_economics.py

# Check current daily-report state
ls -la state/snapshots/ | tail -10
ls -la reports/daily/ | tail -10

# Verify branch protection still active
gh api repos/saristidis/moodbook-ads-bot/branches/main/protection | jq .required_status_checks

Expected: pass on all checks, recent files dated 22/05/2026 or later.


13. Open question worth discussing early

The AOV measurement discrepancy (configured €20.83 vs health check €22.20 vs verified Shopify Q1 €20.01, YTD €20.40) is the highest-priority investigation for the new session. The €22.20 figure surfaced by Layer 3 of the daily-health-check does not reconcile with Shopify's own reporting.

This is potentially a measurement bug, not a drift signal. Section 11 above documents the investigation steps. Do not propose AOV recalibration before understanding why the measurements diverge.

Once resolved, Stelios's broader observation stands: AOV should not be static forever, and a proper quarterly recalibration PR mechanism makes sense — but only after the measurement layer is trusted.


End of handoff document.

Continuation context: The previous session ended at ~13:25 UTC on 22/05/2026 with the PAT bridge PR (#14) successfully merged and the daily-report manually triggered to confirm operational restoration. The next email (auto-scheduled for 07:30 EET on 23/05/2026) should arrive normally.

The next session should pick up from there, with main at commit d39e2cf (daily report 2026-05-22) or later.

Supplemental feed — tech spec

Tech Spec: Google Merchant Center Supplemental Feed via Shopify Liquid

Project: Moodbook (moodbook.gr) Theme: Shopify Dawn 15.4.1 Target Implementer: Claude Code Date: Wednesday, May 13, 2026 Estimated Effort: 2-3 hours Status: Ready for implementation


1. Objective & Business Context

What we're building

A public XML endpoint on the Moodbook Shopify store that exports product custom labels (stored as Shopify metafields) in Google Merchant Center supplemental feed format. The Merchant Center will fetch this URL daily and merge the custom_label_0 values with the primary product feed.

Why we're building this

The store has 6 active Google Ads Performance Max campaigns sharing the same Merchant Center product feed. Without custom labels, the Google algorithm cannibalizes between campaigns, serving the same product through multiple campaigns and inflating CPA. Custom labels enable strict listing group filters per campaign, eliminating cannibalism.

Shopify's native Google channel does not expose custom_label_0 through custom_label_4 fields in its primary feed. A supplemental feed is the standard workaround. The Merchant Center merges supplemental data with primary feed entries based on matching id field.

Background context the implementer should know

  • The store sells premium handmade journals/diaries in Greek market
  • Average product price: €19.70, average COGS: €4.70
  • Break-even ROAS: 1.31x — every wasted impression costs real margin
  • 6 PMax campaigns: Wedding, Pregnancy, Tell Me Mom, Grandparent, Baptism, plus one expansion campaign
  • The supplemental feed must be reliable — if it fails silently, custom labels disappear from GMC and listing groups break

2. Acceptance Criteria

The implementation is complete when:

  1. ✅ A public URL https://moodbook.gr/pages/google-supplemental-feed returns valid XML
  2. ✅ XML output is clean — no theme chrome (no <html>, <head>, <body>, no header/footer markup)
  3. ✅ Response Content-Type is appropriate (application/xml or text/xml)
  4. ✅ Every product variant in the Shopify catalog appears as one <item> entry
  5. ✅ Each <item> contains a <g:id> matching format: shopify_GR_{product.id}_{variant.id}
  6. ✅ Each <item> contains <g:custom_label_0> with the value from product.metafields.custom.custom_label_0
  7. ✅ Each <item> contains <g:custom_label_1> only if the metafield has a non-blank value (conditional output)
  8. ✅ Items without custom_label_0 metafield are excluded from output (don't pollute feed with empty entries)
  9. ✅ XML validates with no parser errors (test via xmllint or online XML validator)
  10. ✅ Implementation works on Dawn 15.4.1 with no modifications to core theme files (only new files added)
  11. ✅ The page is publicly accessible without authentication
  12. ✅ The page is excluded from search engine indexing (robots meta or X-Robots-Tag header)

3. File Structure & Implementation Approach

Files to create (3 new files, zero modifications to existing files)

File 1: templates/page.google-feed.liquid

This is the Shopify template that gets assigned to the page in admin. It assigns a custom layout and renders the feed snippet.

{% layout 'feed' %}
{%- render 'google-supplemental-feed' -%}

File 2: layout/feed.liquid

This is a minimal layout with zero theme chrome. It only renders the XML content with proper XML declaration.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
{{- content_for_layout -}}

Critical: No <html>, no <head>, no <body>, no liquid theme tags. Just the XML declaration and the layout content.

File 3: snippets/google-supplemental-feed.liquid

This is the main logic — iterates products, generates XML items. See Section 4 for detailed spec.

Why this 3-file architecture

  • Separation of concerns: template assigns layout, layout provides minimal wrapper, snippet contains logic
  • Update safety: core Dawn files untouched → theme updates won't break this
  • Reusability: if we add other feeds (Bing, Facebook), the layout can be reused

Files to NOT modify

  • layout/theme.liquid — keep untouched
  • templates/page.liquid — keep untouched (this is the default page template)
  • Any sections/*.liquid — keep untouched
  • Any other core Dawn files

4. Liquid Logic Specification

High-level pseudocode

For each product in the store catalog:
    Skip if product.metafields.custom.custom_label_0 is blank

    For each variant of the product:
        Emit <item> with:
            <g:id> = "shopify_GR_{product.id}_{variant.id}"
            <g:custom_label_0> = product.metafields.custom.custom_label_0

            If product.metafields.custom.custom_label_1 is not blank:
                <g:custom_label_1> = product.metafields.custom.custom_label_1

Implementation details

Iteration source: Use collections.all.products to get all products in the catalog.

Pagination: Use {% paginate ... by 5000 %} to handle large catalogs in a single response. The store has 57 products × ~6 variants average = ~340 entries, well within limits. If pagination is needed (>5000 items), implement it transparently in a single response.

Metafield access: - Use product.metafields.custom.custom_label_0 (not custom_label_0.value) - For blank checks, use != blank (Shopify's idiomatic check) - Metafields with Storefront access: enabled are accessible from Liquid (already configured)

ID format: - Format: shopify_GR_{product.id}_{variant.id} - Example: shopify_GR_9166915666252_48682551738700 - This format must match exactly the IDs in the primary Shopify Google feed (verified from Merchant Center export)

Whitespace handling: - Use {%- and -%} (with hyphens) on liquid tags inside the XML to minimize whitespace - Don't worry about pretty formatting of XML — Merchant Center doesn't care - DO ensure no leading whitespace before <?xml version="1.0"...?> declaration

Character escaping: - Custom label values are controlled (we set them: WEDDING, PREGNANCY, etc.) so no escaping issues expected - BUT defensively wrap values in CDATA or use Liquid's xml_escape filter to be safe: liquid <g:custom_label_0>{{ product.metafields.custom.custom_label_0 | xml_escape }}</g:custom_label_0>

Empty product handling: If a product has zero variants (rare but possible), the inner loop produces nothing. The outer "skip if no label" check handles this gracefully.

Edge cases to handle

Edge case Expected behavior
Product has no custom_label_0 metafield Skip the entire product (don't emit empty items)
Product has custom_label_0 but no custom_label_1 Emit only <g:custom_label_0>, skip <g:custom_label_1>
Product has unpublished status Skip (use product.published_at != blank check)
Variant is out of stock Still emit (custom labels apply regardless of inventory)
Variant available is false Still emit (same reason)
Multiple currencies/markets Single feed for GR market (the only market we serve via PMax)

</rss>

Element-by-element spec

Element Required Notes
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Yes Must be first line, no leading whitespace
<rss xmlns:g="..." version="2.0"> Yes The xmlns:g declaration is critical
<channel> Yes Single channel element
<title> Yes "Moodbook Supplemental Feed"
<link> Yes https://moodbook.gr
<description> Yes Short description
<item> One per variant Multiple instances
<g:id> inside item Yes Format: shopify_GR_{product.id}_{variant.id}
<g:custom_label_0> inside item Yes From product.metafields.custom.custom_label_0
<g:custom_label_1> inside item Optional Only if metafield value is non-blank

What to NOT include

  • Do NOT include <g:title>, <g:price>, <g:availability>, <g:link>, <g:image_link>, etc. — those come from primary feed
  • Do NOT include <g:custom_label_2> through <g:custom_label_4> — we decided not to use these
  • Do NOT include any non-g: namespace fields

6. Shopify Admin Setup (after Liquid is deployed)

Step 6.1: Create the public page

After the 3 files are deployed to the theme:

  1. Shopify Admin → Online Store → PagesAdd page
  2. Title: Google Supplemental Feed
  3. Content: leave blank
  4. Visibility: Visible
  5. Search engine listing: click Edit website SEO → set meta description to noindex (or rely on robots.txt — see Section 7)
  6. Theme template: select page.google-feed from the dropdown
  7. Save

Resulting URL: https://moodbook.gr/pages/google-supplemental-feed

Step 6.2: Search engine exclusion

To prevent indexing, choose one of two approaches:

Approach A — robots.txt addition:

Shopify allows editing robots.txt.liquid. Add a Disallow rule:

{%- if request.path == '/pages/google-supplemental-feed' -%}
User-agent: *
Disallow: /pages/google-supplemental-feed
{%- endif -%}

Approach B — X-Robots-Tag (preferred, but harder in Shopify):

Shopify does not allow custom HTTP headers from Liquid templates. Approach A is the practical option.

Recommendation: Use Approach A. Edit templates/robots.txt.liquid (create if doesn't exist) following Shopify's robots.txt customization guide.


7. Testing & Validation Protocol

Test 7.1: Browser test (immediate after deployment)

  1. Open https://moodbook.gr/pages/google-supplemental-feed in a browser
  2. Expected: Browser displays raw XML (or downloads it, depending on browser settings)
  3. Failure modes to check: - HTML page with theme chrome → layout file not applied correctly - 404 → page template not assigned in admin - 500 error → Liquid syntax error in snippet

Test 7.2: XML validity check

Run the output through XML validator:

curl -s https://moodbook.gr/pages/google-supplemental-feed | xmllint --noout -

Expected: No output (xmllint outputs nothing on success). Failure modes: Parser errors indicate malformed XML.

Test 7.3: Content sanity check

curl -s https://moodbook.gr/pages/google-supplemental-feed | grep -c '<item>'

Expected: Returns approximately 200-340 (depending on actual variant count across the catalog). If <50, something is wrong. If 0, no products are being iterated.

Test 7.4: Sample item inspection

Manually inspect 3-5 items in the output:

curl -s https://moodbook.gr/pages/google-supplemental-feed | head -50

For each sample item, verify: - <g:id> follows the shopify_GR_{product_id}_{variant_id} format - <g:custom_label_0> contains one of the known values (OUR_WEDDING, PREGNANCY_JOURNAL, etc.) - No empty tags or weird character encoding

Test 7.5: Specific product verification

Cross-reference with known products:

Product Expected custom_label_0
Ο γάμος μας (handle: our_wedding) OUR_WEDDING
Θα γίνω Μαμά (handle: pregnancy_journal) PREGNANCY_JOURNAL
Πες μου Μαμά (handle: tell_me_mom) TELL_ME_MOM
Πες μου Γιαγιά (handle: grandmother_journal) PES_MOU_GIAGIA
Any mug MUGS
Any Creative Notes item CREATIVE_NOTES
Any Original Sin item ORIGINAL_SIN
Any Thematic Notebook THEMATIC_NOTEBOOKS

Use grep to find the product's ID and verify its label:

curl -s https://moodbook.gr/pages/google-supplemental-feed | grep -A 1 "9166915666252" | head -5

(The number 9166915666252 is the product ID for "Ο γάμος μας" — should return items with OUR_WEDDING label)

Test 7.6: Performance check

time curl -s -o /dev/null https://moodbook.gr/pages/google-supplemental-feed

Expected: Response time under 3 seconds. If slower, consider caching strategies (but unlikely needed for this catalog size).

Test 7.7: Robots.txt verification

curl -s https://moodbook.gr/robots.txt | grep google-supplemental

Expected: Returns the Disallow line, confirming exclusion from search engines.


8. Google Merchant Center Setup

Note: This section is what Stelios (the user) does manually after the Liquid implementation is verified working. Document these steps clearly for handoff.

Step 8.1: Create supplemental data source

  1. Merchant Center → ProductsData sourcesAdd data source
  2. Select "Supplemental data source" (NOT "Primary")
  3. Name: Moodbook Custom Labels Supplemental
  4. Connect to: choose existing primary feed (Shopify GR feed)

Step 8.2: Set fetch schedule

  1. Method: Scheduled fetch
  2. File URL: https://moodbook.gr/pages/google-supplemental-feed
  3. Fetch frequency: Daily
  4. Fetch time: 04:00 UTC (06:00 EET — off-peak hours)
  5. Country: Greece
  6. Language: Greek

Step 8.3: Initial fetch

After saving, click "Fetch now" to trigger immediate first fetch. Wait 5-30 minutes for processing.

Step 8.4: Verify merge

  1. Merchant Center → Products → All products
  2. Click on a known product (e.g., "Ο γάμος μας" variant)
  3. In the product details panel, look for Custom labels section
  4. Verify custom_label_0 shows the expected value

9. Monitoring & Reliability (Critical)

Why monitoring matters

If the supplemental feed silently breaks (Liquid error, theme change, etc.), the custom labels disappear from GMC within 24-48 hours. PMax listing groups become non-functional. We won't know until campaign performance degrades — potentially days later.

UptimeRobot setup

The user (Stelios) should configure these monitors after deployment:

Monitor 1: Feed availability + content check - Type: HTTP(s) with Keyword - URL: https://moodbook.gr/pages/google-supplemental-feed - Keyword: custom_label_0 - Alert condition: "Alert when keyword does NOT exist" - Check interval: 6 hours - Alert contacts: Stelios's email + ideally SMS

Monitor 2: Known label verification - Type: HTTP(s) with Keyword - URL: same - Keyword: OUR_WEDDING - Alert condition: "Alert when keyword does NOT exist" - Check interval: 6 hours - Alert contacts: same

Monitor 3 (optional): Item count sanity - Use a different monitoring service that supports response-size checks (Cronitor free tier) - Alert if response size deviates ±30% from baseline

These monitors give us time-to-detect under 6 hours for silent corruption.


10. Implementation Notes for Claude Code

Dawn 15.4.1 specifics

  • Dawn 15 uses Online Store 2.0 architecture — sections-based theme
  • Template files for pages are in templates/ directory
  • Layouts in layout/ directory
  • Snippets in snippets/ directory
  • The default page layout is layout/theme.liquid — we deliberately bypass it with feed.liquid

Liquid syntax reminders

  • Metafield access: product.metafields.custom.custom_label_0 returns the value directly (no need for .value)
  • Blank check: {% if product.metafields.custom.custom_label_0 != blank %}
  • Variant iteration: {% for variant in product.variants %} (always available, no need for .all)
  • Product iteration via collection: {% for product in collections.all.products %} (yields all published products)
  • Pagination: {% paginate collections.all.products by 5000 %} ... {% endpaginate %}

Common pitfalls

  1. XML declaration on second line: If there's any whitespace or content before <?xml, the file is invalid XML. Use {%- at the start to strip preceding whitespace.

  2. HTML entity encoding: Shopify Liquid sometimes auto-escapes content. For XML output with the xml_escape filter, ensure entities like &amp; come through correctly (not double-escaped to &amp;amp;).

  3. Caching: Shopify CDN may cache the page. After updates to the snippet, force-refresh in browser (Cmd+Shift+R) or wait 5-10 minutes for cache invalidation.

  4. Theme preview vs published: Test in published theme, not preview. Page templates may behave differently in preview mode.

  5. Layout assignment: The {% layout 'feed' %} directive must be the first non-whitespace content in the template file. Even comments before it may break the layout assignment.

File creation order

Recommended order to minimize errors:

  1. First create snippets/google-supplemental-feed.liquid (the logic)
  2. Then create layout/feed.liquid (the wrapper)
  3. Finally create templates/page.google-feed.liquid (the assignment)
  4. Then go to Shopify Admin and create the page with the new template

This order means each file's dependencies exist when it's referenced.

Rollback plan

If something breaks:

  1. Quick disable: In Shopify Admin → Pages → Google Supplemental Feed → Visibility → Hidden. This makes the URL return 404 without removing the files.
  2. GMC disable: In Merchant Center → Data sources → Moodbook Custom Labels Supplemental → Pause the fetch.
  3. Full rollback: Delete the 3 created files. Theme returns to pre-implementation state.

No customer-facing impact in any rollback scenario — these files are only for Google Merchant Center consumption, not for any storefront UI.


11. Out of Scope (Do NOT Implement)

To prevent scope creep, the following are explicitly out of scope for this task:

  • Variant-level metafields (we decided to use product-level only)
  • custom_label_2, custom_label_3, custom_label_4 (decided not to use these)
  • Performance/seasonality logic (we decided to skip seasonality)
  • Multi-language feed variants (single GR feed only)
  • Multi-market support (only GR market)
  • Admin UI for managing labels (Shopify's native metafield UI is sufficient)
  • Automatic label population based on product attributes (manual population, already complete)
  • Email/Slack notifications on feed errors (handled by UptimeRobot)
  • Caching layer (Shopify CDN sufficient for this scale)

12. Deliverables Checklist

By task completion, the following should exist:

  • [ ] templates/page.google-feed.liquid created and committed
  • [ ] layout/feed.liquid created and committed
  • [ ] snippets/google-supplemental-feed.liquid created and committed
  • [ ] Shopify page created at /pages/google-supplemental-feed using the new template
  • [ ] Robots.txt updated to disallow /pages/google-supplemental-feed
  • [ ] All 7 tests in Section 7 pass
  • [ ] Documentation comment at the top of the snippet file explaining what it does and when it was created
  • [ ] User (Stelios) handed off Section 8 (GMC setup) and Section 9 (UptimeRobot setup) instructions

13. Success Definition

The implementation is successful when:

  1. The URL returns valid XML with ~200-340 items
  2. Each item has correct <g:id> and <g:custom_label_0> values
  3. GMC successfully fetches and merges the data (verifiable in product details panel within 24 hours of GMC setup)
  4. UptimeRobot monitors are configured and showing green status
  5. No customer-facing storefront changes
  6. No degradation in Shopify store performance metrics

Appendix A: Reference Data

Known custom_label_0 values in current catalog

These are the only valid values that should appear in the output. If any other values appear, there's a data issue:

OUR_WEDDING
PREGNANCY_JOURNAL
WEDDING_GUESTBOOK
MY_BAPTISM
FIVE_MINUTES_CALENDAR
PES_MOU_PAPPOU
LIFE_PLANNER
KIDSFEELINGS
TRAVEL_PLANNER
SCHOOL_PLANNER
THE_CAT_BOOK
NEW_MOMS_JOURNAL
NEW_DADS_JOURNAL
PES_MOU_GIAGIA
TELL_ME_MOM
TELL_ME_DAD
THE_HONEYMOON
NEWBORN_DIARY
THEMATIC_NOTEBOOKS
CREATIVE_NOTES
ORIGINAL_SIN
MUGS

Catalog statistics (for QA reference)

  • Total unique products: 57
  • Total unique variants in GMC feed: ~114
  • Total feed entries (with channel/language permutations): ~438
  • Expected <item> count in supplemental feed: ~340 (product variants only, no channel duplicates)

The supplemental feed iterates Shopify variants directly, so the count will match the variant count, not the GMC entry count. GMC handles the channel/language fan-out automatically when merging.

Primary feed ID format (must match)

Format: shopify_GR_{numeric_product_id}_{numeric_variant_id}

Real examples from current primary feed: - shopify_GR_9166915666252_48682551738700 - shopify_GR_9166915666252_53429918368076 - shopify_GR_7601047666929_56840438186316 - shopify_GR_7513032098033_42087453589681

The numeric IDs are the Shopify internal IDs, accessible via Liquid as product.id and variant.id.

    <!-- ... and so on for all variants ... -->
  </channel>
</rss>

Note: Six entries for "Ο γάμος μας" (one per color variant), all sharing the same OUR_WEDDING label. The Merchant Center will then fan these out across the channel/language permutations automatically.

Module 1 Technical Spec_ Profit Core & Watchdog

Module 1 — Profit Core & Watchdog (Technical Specification)

Project: Moodbook Google Ads Automation Bot

Module: 01 — Profit Core & Anomaly Detection

Target Audience: Claude Code (Developer Agent)

Dependencies: Module 00 (Foundation & Authentication)

1. Overview & Architecture

This module implements the core profitability calculations (POAS) and a statistically rigorous anomaly detection system (Z-Score) to monitor Moodbook's Google Ads performance without human micro-management. It establishes a local SQLite database to retain 26 weeks of historical data required for accurate day-of-week baselining.

Data Flow:

  1. Extract: Pull yesterday's spend/conversions (Google Ads API) and COGS/Net Revenue (Shopify API).

  2. Store: Save metrics to state/metrics.db (SQLite).

  3. Analyze: Calculate POAS against Break-even ROAS. Compute Z-Scores comparing yesterday's performance to the 26-week historical average for that specific day of the week.

  4. Synthesize: Pass detected anomalies to Claude Sonnet 4.6 to generate a human-readable, business-focused alert in Greek.

  5. Act: Output a Markdown report and raise a GitHub Issue if critical thresholds are breached.

2. State Management (SQLite Schema)

To compute a 26-week rolling baseline efficiently within GitHub Actions (without requiring BigQuery), we introduce a lightweight SQLite database stored at state/metrics.db.

Claude Code MUST execute the following schema initialization in src/db/setup.py:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS campaign_daily_metrics (
date TEXT NOT NULL,
day_of_week INTEGER NOT NULL, -- 0=Monday, 6=Sunday
campaign_id TEXT NOT NULL,
campaign_name TEXT NOT NULL,
spend_eur REAL NOT NULL,
impressions INTEGER NOT NULL,
clicks INTEGER NOT NULL,
conversions REAL NOT NULL,
conversion_value_eur REAL NOT NULL,
cogs_eur REAL NOT NULL,
net_revenue_eur REAL NOT NULL,
poas REAL,
roas REAL,
PRIMARY KEY (date, campaign_id)
);

3. Mathematical Logic & Algorithms

Claude Code MUST implement the following mathematical models exactly as defined in src/calculators/math_models.py.

3.1 Profitability (POAS)

$$Break-even\ ROAS = \frac{1}{Margin\ \%}$$

$$POAS = \frac{Net\ Revenue\ -\ COGS}{Ad\ Spend}$$

  • Threshold Rule: If $POAS \< 1.0$, the campaign is operating at a loss. If $POAS > 1.5$, it is a candidate for scaling.

3.2 Anomaly Detection (Z-Score)

To avoid false positives from weekend slumps, anomalies are calculated by comparing yesterday to the same day-of-week over the last 26 weeks.

  1. Filter History: Select rows where campaign_id == X AND day_of_week == yesterday.day_of_week AND date >= (yesterday - 26 weeks).

  2. Calculate Mean ($\mu$) and Standard Deviation ($\sigma$) for the spend_eur and poas columns.

  3. Calculate Z-Score: $$Z = \frac{Current\ Value - \mu}{\sigma}$$

  • Alert Trigger Rule: Trigger an anomaly alert ONLY IF $|Z| > 2.0$ AND absolute $\Delta Spend > 5.0$ EUR.

4. Google Ads API Queries (GAQL)

The following GAQL query MUST be added to src/clients/google_ads.py to fetch campaign performance. Claude Code must use segments.date = YESTERDAY to ensure mature data.

SELECT
segments.date,
segments.day_of_week,
campaign.id,
campaign.name,
metrics.cost_micros,
metrics.impressions,
metrics.clicks,
metrics.conversions,
metrics.conversions_value
FROM campaign
WHERE segments.date = YESTERDAY
AND campaign.status = 'ENABLED'
AND campaign.advertising_channel_type = 'PERFORMANCE_MAX'

5. Claude AI Integration (The Analyst Prompt)

When anomalies are detected (Z-score triggers), the data is passed to Anthropic API (Claude Sonnet 4.6) for narrative synthesis. Claude Code MUST implement this system prompt in prompts/watchdog_analyst.md:

System Prompt:

You are an expert Google Ads Media Buyer for "Moodbook" (a premium Greek e-commerce brand). You analyze raw anomaly data and explain the business impact to the owner, Stelios.

Rules:

  1. Always write the final output in professional Greek.

  2. Focus on POAS (Profit On Ad Spend) and wasted budget.

  3. Format your response as a clear, bulleted list of "Διαπίστωση" (Finding) and "Προτεινόμενη Ενέργεια" (Suggested Action).

  4. Never suggest discounts. Maintain a premium brand tone.

  5. Be concise. Do not use generic marketing fluff.

6. Required Files & Code Structure Modifications

Claude Code must create/modify the following files:

  • src/db/metrics_db.py: Handles SQLite connection, schema creation, and insertion of daily metrics.

  • src/calculators/z_score.py: Implements Pandas logic to query SQLite and return a list of Anomaly dataclass objects.

  • src/agents/watchdog.py: Orchestrates the flow: Pull GA/Shopify data -> Insert to DB -> Run Z-Score -> If anomalies > 0, call Anthropic API -> Generate Alert.

  • .github/workflows/module1-watchdog.yml: A new GitHub Actions workflow running daily at 07:30 EET.

7. Acceptance Criteria

  • AC1: state/metrics.db is successfully created and updated after a run, then committed back to the repository.

  • AC2: The Z-Score calculator correctly handles edge cases (e.g., standard deviation = 0 when historical data is identical or missing).

  • AC3: The system successfully identifies a synthetic anomaly injected via tests (e.g., mocking a $Z = 2.5$ spike) and logs it.

  • AC4: Claude Sonnet 4.6 returns a properly formatted Greek narrative when anomalies are passed to it.

  • AC5: DRY_RUN=true prevents any automated emails/issues from being sent, logging them to the console instead.

Project: Moodbook Google Ads Automation Bot

Module: 10 — Google Recommendations Triage & Quality Score Deconstruction

Target Audience: Claude Code (Developer Agent)

Dependencies: Module 00 (Foundation), Module 01 (Profit Core), Module 02 (Negatives)

1. Overview & Architecture

This module protects the Moodbook account from "algorithmic bloat" by triaging Google's auto-applied recommendations. It also implements Quality Score (QS) Engineering by deconstructing QS into its sub-components (eCTR, Ad Relevance, LP Experience) to identify exactly why a keyword/asset is expensive.

Data Flow:

  1. Extract: Pull pending recommendations and asset-level Quality Score indicators from the API.

  2. Triage: Claude Haiku 4.5 classifies recommendations as ACCEPT_SAFE, REVIEW, or REJECT_DEFAULT.

  3. Deconstruct: Break down QS for search keywords and PMax asset groups.

  4. Clean: Auto-dismiss REJECT_DEFAULT recommendations.

  5. Propose: Open a Pull Request for manual review of high-impact changes.

2. Database Extension (SQLite)

Track recommendation actions to avoid re-reviewing dismissed items.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS recommendations_log (
recommendation_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
type TEXT,
action TEXT, -- ACCEPTED, REJECTED, DISMISSED
ai_reason TEXT,
date TEXT
);

3. Logic & Triage Rules

Claude Code must implement these classification rules in src/agents/triage.py:

3.1 Recommendation Categories

  • REJECT_DEFAULT: "Add Broad Match", "Remove conflicting negatives", "Enable Auto-apply", "URL Expansion".

  • ACCEPT_SAFE: "Fix disapproved ads", "Add Sitelinks/Callouts", "Data-driven attribution".

  • REVIEW: "Adjust tROAS targets", "Increase budget".

3.2 Quality Score (QS) Engineering

Deconstruct the 1-10 score into points:

Component Weight Action if "Below Average"
Expected CTR 39% Increase Bid or improve Headline Hook.
Ad Relevance 22% Tighten Ad Group themes (Module 2).
LP Experience 39% Trigger Technical Audit (Module 8).

4. Google Ads API Query (GAQL)

-- Get Recommendations
SELECT
recommendation.id,
recommendation.type,
recommendation.impact,
recommendation.description
FROM recommendation

-- Get Keyword Quality Score
SELECT
keyword_view.resource_name,
ad_group_criterion.quality_info.quality_score,
ad_group_criterion.quality_info.creative_quality_score,
ad_group_criterion.quality_info.post_click_quality_score,
ad_group_criterion.quality_info.search_predicted_ctr
FROM keyword_view

5. Claude AI Integration (The Triage Agent)

System prompt in prompts/recommendation_analyst.md:

System Prompt:

  2. Reject removal of negative keywords.

  3. Approve "no-brainer" structural fixes (Sitelinks, extensions).

  4. Explain the Ad Rank impact of Quality Score improvements.

  5. Language: Greek.

6. Acceptance Criteria

  • AC1: RecommendationService.DismissRecommendation is called automatically for "Bloat" types.

  • AC2: Quality Score deconstruction is reported clearly in the weekly digest.

  • AC3: Any tROAS adjustment recommendation is strictly moved to the "Review" category (PR required).

  • AC4: DRY_RUN=true prevents any dismissal call to the API.

Module 2 Technical Spec_ Negative Keyword & Search Theme Management

Module 2 — Negative Keyword & Search Theme Management (Technical Specification)

Project: Moodbook Google Ads Automation Bot

Module: 02 — Semantic Negative Keyword Discovery & Search Theme Audit

Target Audience: Claude Code (Developer Agent)

Dependencies: Module 00 (Foundation), Module 01 (Database Infrastructure)

1. Overview & Architecture

This module automates the identification of wasteful search queries and manages internal competition (cannibalization) between Performance Max campaigns. It uses n-gram analysis combined with Claude Haiku's semantic understanding to distinguish between high-intent searches and irrelevant traffic.

Data Flow:

  1. Extract: Pull search term insights from campaign_search_term_insight for all enabled PMax campaigns.

  2. Process: Aggregate metrics at the n-gram level (unigrams, bigrams, trigrams) using Pandas.

  3. Classify: Use Claude Haiku 4.5 to categorize top-cost n-grams based on the Moodbook product taxonomy.

  4. Analyze Overlap: Apply Cosine Similarity to detect if campaigns are competing for the same intent.

  5. Propose: Generate a YAML file of proposed negative keywords and open a GitHub Pull Request.

2. Database Extension (SQLite)

Claude Code must add a table to state/metrics.db to track "processed" and "excluded" terms to optimize API usage and avoid redundant classifications.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS processed_search_terms (
search_term TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
classification TEXT, -- relevant, irrelevant, cross_product, competitor
last_seen_date TEXT,
action_taken TEXT -- negative_added, ignored
);

3. Mathematical Logic & Algorithms

3.1 N-gram Metrics Aggregation

For each campaign, tokenized search terms must aggregate cost, clicks, and conversions. An n-gram is a candidate for negative exclusion if:

(Cost > 2x Target CPA) AND (Conversions == 0)

3.2 Semantic Similarity (Cosine Similarity)

To detect cannibalization, Claude Code should implement a utility in src/calculators/similarity.py using scikit-learn (or a lightweight equivalent) to compare search term vectors between campaigns.

$$Similarity(A, B) = \frac{A \cdot B}{\|A\| \|B\|}$$

  • Rule: If Similarity > 0.85 between two campaigns with different product lines, flag for "Cross-Product Negative" proposal.

4. Google Ads API Query (GAQL)

Note: campaign_search_term_insight requires filtering by a single resource. Claude Code must iterate through active PMax campaign IDs.

SELECT
campaign_search_term_insight.category_label,
segments.search_term,
metrics.cost_micros,
metrics.clicks,
metrics.conversions,
metrics.conversions_value
FROM campaign_search_term_insight
WHERE segments.date DURING LAST_30_DAYS
AND campaign_search_term_insight.campaign_id = '{campaign_id}'

5. Claude AI Integration (The Classifier)

Claude Code MUST implement the classification logic in src/agents/classifier.py using this system prompt:

System Prompt:

You are an NLP Search Analyst. Categorize search terms for Moodbook.gr (Premium Personalized Books).

Product Lines: Wedding, Pregnancy, Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Baptism.

Categories:

  1. irrelevant: General terms (e.g., "free pdf", "cheap notebooks").

  2. cross_product: A "Dad" term appearing in a "Mom" campaign.

  3. competitor: Specific brand names (e.g., "Public", "Skroutz").

  4. relevant: Matches the campaign intent.

Constraint: Return ONLY a JSON object: {"term": "category", "reason": "why"}.

6. Negative Keyword PR Generation

The agent must create a new branch and open a PR with a file state/proposals/negatives_YYYYMMDD.yaml.

Format:

  • campaign_id: "12345"
    negatives:
    • term: "δωρεάν"
      match_type: "BROAD"
      reason: "Classified as irrelevant (zero conversions)"
  • cross_campaign_negatives:
    • term: "μπαμπάς"
      source_campaign: "Mom_PMax"
      target_campaign: "Dad_PMax"
      reason: "Semantic cannibalization detected"

7. Acceptance Criteria

  • AC1: The system processes n-grams locally and filters out terms already in the processed_search_terms table.

  • AC2: Claude Haiku 4.5 correctly identifies "cross-product" terms (e.g., Greek terms for 'Grandma' in a 'Baptism' campaign).

  • AC3: A Pull Request is successfully opened with clear justifications for each negative keyword.

  • AC4: Sparse updates are used to avoid overwriting existing negative keyword lists.

  • AC5: DRY_RUN=true logs the proposed YAML to the terminal without opening a PR.

Module 3 Technical Spec_ Customer Match & RFM Audience Refresh

Module 3 — Customer Match & RFM Audience Refresh (Technical Specification)

Project: Moodbook Google Ads Automation Bot

Module: 03 — Predictive Audience Management & Data Manager API Integration

Target Audience: Claude Code (Developer Agent)

Dependencies: Module 00 (Foundation), Module 01 (Database Infrastructure)

1. Overview & Architecture

This module automates the synchronization of Moodbook's first-party customer data with Google Ads to optimize for Incremental Profit. It implements an RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) analysis to segment the Shopify customer base and utilizes the new Data Manager API (mandatory after April 2026) for secure, hashed audience uploads.

Data Flow:

  1. Extract: Pull customer transaction data from Shopify API (or processed export).

  2. Analyze: Perform RFM segmentation and calculate Propensity Scores for churn and upselling.

  3. Hash: Normalize PII (email/phone) and apply SHA-256 hashing locally.

  4. Sync: Upload hashed identifiers to Google Ads via the Data Manager API.

  5. Apply: Automatically update Exclusion Lists for "Lapsed" customers in acquisition campaigns.

2. Database Extension (SQLite)

Claude Code must add a table to state/metrics.db to track audience synchronization and match rate trends over time.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS audience_sync_log (
sync_date TEXT NOT NULL,
segment_name TEXT NOT NULL, -- Champions, Lapsed, At_Risk, Newbies
member_count INTEGER NOT NULL,
upload_status TEXT NOT NULL, -- SUCCESS, FAILED, PENDING
google_list_id TEXT,
PRIMARY KEY (sync_date, segment_name)
);

3. Business Logic & Mathematical Models

3.1 RFM Segmentation Logic

Claude Code MUST implement a scoring system (1-5) for each metric in src/calculators/rfm.py:

  • Recency: Days since last purchase. (Lapsed if > 18 months).

  • Frequency: Total number of orders.

  • Monetary: Total lifetime value (LTV).

Segmentation Rules:

  • Champions: High R, High F, High M. (Used for Lookalike signals).

  • Lapsed: Low R ( > 540 days). (Used for Exclusion to stop wasted spend).

  • At Risk: High F/M but declining R. (Used for "Rescue" campaigns).

3.2 Incrementality & Suppression Logic

If a customer is classified as a "Champion" with a high propensity for brand-organic search, they must be added to a search exclusion list to prevent Brand Cannibalization.

4. Data Manager API Implementation

Claude Code MUST NOT use the legacy OfflineUserDataJobService. The implementation in src/clients/google_data_manager.py must follow these steps:

  1. Normalization: Trim whitespace, convert to lowercase, and for Gmail, remove dots before '@'.

  2. Hashing: TO_BASE64(SHA256(LOWER(TRIM(email)))).

  3. Consent: Ensure the consent field is populated for EEA users (Consent Mode v2 compliance).

  4. Asynchronous Upload: Manage the asynchronous audience_members:send call and poll for status.

5. Claude AI Integration (Audience Analyst)

Claude Sonnet 4.6 will monitor list size fluctuations. System prompt in prompts/audience_analyst.md:

System Prompt:

You are an Audience Strategist. Analyze the weekly RFM shift for Moodbook.gr.

Task:

  1. Summarize how many customers moved from "Champions" to "At Risk".

  2. Report the match rate efficiency from the Data Manager API.

  3. Explain the "Profit Saved" by excluding Lapsed customers (Number of Excluded x Avg acquisition CPA).

  4. Language: Greek.

6. Acceptance Criteria

  • AC1: PII data (plain text emails/phones) is NEVER logged or stored in the SQLite database.

  • AC2: The hashing algorithm strictly follows Google's SHA-256 requirements (normalization included).

  • AC3: The Data Manager API client correctly handles the mandatory consent fields.

  • AC4: Lapsed customers are successfully identified and pushed to a specific "Exclusion UserList".

  • AC5: DRY_RUN=true logs the count of hashed members per segment without triggering the API upload.

Module 4 Technical Spec_ Merchant Center Custom Labels & Cannibalization Fix

Module 4 — Structural MC Labels & Cannibalization Cure (Technical Specification)

Project: Moodbook Google Ads Automation Bot

Module: 04 — Merchant Center Custom Labels & Listing Group Subdivision

Target Audience: Claude Code (Developer Agent)

Dependencies: Module 00 (Foundation), Module 01 (Profit Core Data)

1. Overview & Architecture

This module implements the single highest-leverage structural fix for Moodbook: the elimination of cross-campaign cannibalization. By applying Custom Labels to the Merchant Center feed, we force each Performance Max campaign to target a mutually exclusive subset of products, effectively resolving the "Tell-me-Mom/Dad" internal competition at the auction level.

Data Flow:

  1. Map: Retrieve SKU data and assign labels based on product lines, profit margins, and seasonality.

  2. Sync: Push label updates to Google Merchant Center via the Content API for Shopping.

  3. Segment: (Setup Task) Reconfigure PMax asset_group_listing_group_filter to subdivide based on the assigned labels.

  4. Audit: Verify that no SKU is targeted by more than one acquisition campaign.

2. Database Extension (SQLite)

Claude Code must add a table to state/metrics.db to track SKU-to-Label mapping and ensure synchronization consistency.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sku_label_mapping (
sku TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
product_line TEXT, -- custom_label_0
seasonality TEXT, -- custom_label_1
margin_band TEXT, -- custom_label_2
last_synced_at TEXT
);

3. Logic & Taxonomy Definition

Claude Code must implement the labeling logic in src/calculators/labeler.py based on the following taxonomy:

Attribute Mapping Logic Example Values
custom_label_0 Primary Product Line (from Shopify Collections) wedding, pregnancy, grandpa, baptism
custom_label_1 Seasonality (linked to Module 7 calendar) evergreen, easter, christmas
custom_label_2 Margin Band (based on Module 1 COGS) high_margin, mid_margin

4. API Implementations

4.1 Merchant Center Content API

Claude Code must implement a client in src/clients/google_merchant.py using the google-shopping-content library. For recurring updates, use the products.patch method to update only the label fields, minimizing overhead.

4.2 PMax Listing Group Configuration (GAQL/Mutate)

The agent must provide a script to audit or reconfigure listing groups. The relevant resource is asset_group_listing_group_filter. Each campaign's "All products" filter must be replaced with a SUBDIVISION on custom_label_0.

-- GAQL to verify Listing Group subdivisions
SELECT
asset_group.name,
asset_group_listing_group_filter.type,
asset_group_listing_group_filter.case_value.product_custom_attribute.value
FROM asset_group_listing_group_filter
WHERE asset_group_listing_group_filter.case_value.product_custom_attribute.index = 'INDEX0'

5. Claude AI Integration (Feed Audit)

Claude Haiku 4.5 will perform a weekly audit of the feed structure. System prompt in prompts/feed_auditor.md:

System Prompt:

You are a Feed Management Specialist. Review the SKU-to-Label mapping for Moodbook.gr.

Goals:

  1. Detect any SKUs with missing custom_label_0 values.

  2. Flag "High Margin" products that are stuck in "Mid Margin" bands.

  3. Confirm that the taxonomy adheres to the premium brand voice (e.g., no mention of "discount" in labels).

  4. Language: Greek (for report), English (for technical logs).

6. Acceptance Criteria

  • AC1: The Python client successfully pushes custom_label_X values to Merchant Center via the Content API.

  • AC2: Each PMax campaign is verified to target ONLY its specific custom_label_0 value.

  • AC3: The system correctly identifies "Zombies" (products with high spend but low margin) via the combination of Module 1 data and Module 4 labels.

  • AC4: DRY_RUN=true performs the mapping logic and logs the json_body of the API request without executing the patch call.

  • AC5: No PII or business-sensitive margin percentages are leaked into the Merchant Center attributes (use categorical bands: "high", "mid").

Module 5 Technical Spec_ Creative Fatigue & GenAI

Module 5 — Creative Fatigue & GenAI (Technical Specification)

Project: Moodbook Google Ads Automation Bot

Module: 05 — Creative Fatigue Detection & GenAI Copywriting

Target Audience: Claude Code (Developer Agent)

Dependencies: Module 00 (Foundation), Module 01 (Profit Core Data)

1. Overview & Architecture

This module monitors the performance of creative assets (Headlines, Descriptions, Images, Videos) and detects "Creative Fatigue" before ROI is impacted. It uses a mathematical Composite Fatigue Score (CFS) to identify underperforming assets and leverages Claude Sonnet 4.6 to generate brand-compliant, high-performance replacements.

Data Flow:

  1. Extract: Pull asset-level performance labels and raw metrics (CTR, CPM, Conversions) from the Google Ads API.

  2. Analyze: Compute CTR Decay, CPM Inflation, and Hook Rate (for videos). Calculate the CFS.

  3. Diagnose: Identify "Fatigued" assets based on threshold breaches (CFS \< 0.8).

  4. Generate: Send fatigued asset data and brand constraints to Claude Sonnet 4.6 to draft 5 new variants.

  5. Propose: Open a GitHub Pull Request with a YAML proposal for asset rotation.

2. Database Extension (SQLite)

Claude Code must add a table to state/metrics.db to store the "Honey Period" (baseline) performance for each asset to calculate decay.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS asset_baseline_metrics (
asset_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
asset_type TEXT NOT NULL, -- HEADLINE, DESCRIPTION, IMAGE, VIDEO
baseline_ctr REAL,
baseline_cpm REAL,
learning_exit_date TEXT,
last_check_date TEXT
);

3. Mathematical Logic & Algorithms

Claude Code must implement the following calculations in src/calculators/fatigue.py:

3.1 CTR Decay

$$CTR\_Decay = \frac{Current\_CTR\ (Last\ 7\ days)}{Baseline\_CTR\ (First\ 7\ days\ post-learning)}$$

3.2 CPM Inflation

$$CPM\_Inflation = \frac{Current\_CPM - Baseline\_CPM}{Baseline\_CPM}$$

3.3 Composite Fatigue Score (CFS)

A weighted index to trigger replacement:

$$CFS = (0.7 \times CTR\_Decay) - (0.3 \times CPM\_Inflation)$$

  • Trigger Rule: If CFS \< 0.8 for an asset with ≥ 1,000 impressions, flag as FATIGUED.

3.4 Video Hook Rate

$$Hook\_Rate = \frac{Video\_Views\ at\ 3s}{Impressions}$$

  • Rule: If Hook Rate drops by > 20% vs baseline, flag the Video Hook (Intro) for replacement.

4. Google Ads API Query (GAQL)

Fetching performance at the individual asset level within PMax asset groups.

SELECT
asset.id,
asset.name,
asset_group_asset.field_type,
asset_group_asset.performance_label,
metrics.ctr,
metrics.average_cpm,
metrics.video_views,
metrics.conversions
FROM asset_group_asset
WHERE campaign.advertising_channel_type = 'PERFORMANCE_MAX'
AND campaign.status = 'ENABLED'
AND asset_group_asset.status = 'ENABLED'

5. Claude AI Integration (The Copywriter)

Claude Code must implement the copy generation logic in src/agents/copywriter.py using constraints from CLAUDE.md.

System Prompt:

You are a Premium Direct Response Copywriter for Moodbook.gr (Personalized Books).

Brand Rules:

  1. Language: Greek (Professional, Emotional, Premium).

  2. Tone: Focus on the value of memory/gift. NO discount words (έκπτωση, προσφορά).

  3. Grandpa/Grandma Constraint: Use "βιβλίο" (book), never "ημερολόγιο" (diary).

  4. Baptism Constraint: Use religious-sensitive and elegant framing.

Input: Current fatigued headline: [Headline]. Product line: [Line].

Task: Provide 5 new headline variants (max 30 chars) and reasoning for each.

Output: JSON format.

6. Acceptance Criteria

  • AC1: The system correctly identifies assets with a "LOW" performance label or CFS \< 0.8.

  • AC2: Baselines are correctly captured only after the "Learning" status is removed from the asset.

  • AC3: Generated Greek copy strictly avoids prohibited keywords (e.g., "έκπτωση") and respects character limits.

  • AC4: DRY_RUN=true logs the new copy variants to the terminal without opening a PR.

  • AC5: Video assets trigger alerts specifically based on Hook Rate metrics.

Module 6 Technical Spec_ tROAS Calibration & GTO Bidding

Module 6 — tROAS Calibration & GTO Bidding (Technical Specification)

Project: Moodbook Google Ads Automation Bot

Module: 06 — tROAS Optimization & Game Theory Optimal (GTO) Bidding

Target Audience: Claude Code (Developer Agent)

Dependencies: Module 01 (Profit Core), Module 05 (Creative Fatigue)

1. Overview & Architecture

This module implements a rational, unexploitable bidding strategy based on Game Theory Optimal (GTO) principles. It calibrates Target ROAS (tROAS) by calculating the Expected Value of a click and identifying the Nash Equilibrium using Google's Bid Simulators. It also accounts for Conversion Lag (Bake Rate) to ensure decisions aren't made on immature data.

Data Flow:

  1. Extract: Pull historical conversion rates, net margins, and bid_simulator data from the Google Ads API.

  2. Calculate: Determine the GTO Expected Value and the Bake Rate adjusted ROAS.

  3. Analyze: Use simulator data to find the point where Marginal Cost equals Marginal Revenue (Nash Equilibrium).

  4. Detect: Identify "Irrational Competition" where market CPCs exceed our GTO Expected Value.

  5. Propose: Open a Pull Request with a YAML proposal to adjust tROAS (max ±50bps per week).

2. Database Extension (SQLite)

Claude Code must add a table to state/metrics.db to track tROAS changes and simulator projections.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS bidding_log (
campaign_id TEXT NOT NULL,
change_date TEXT NOT NULL,
old_troas REAL,
new_troas REAL,
projected_conversion_value_change REAL,
projected_cost_change REAL,
marginal_poas REAL,
PRIMARY KEY (campaign_id, change_date)
);

3. Mathematical Logic & GTO Algorithms

Claude Code must implement these in src/calculators/bidding.py:

3.1 GTO Expected Value

$$Expected\ Value = Conversion\ Rate \times Net\ Margin$$

  • GTO Rule: If Average_CPC > Expected_Value, the agent must propose increasing tROAS (lowering bids) to "fold" against irrational competitors.

3.2 Bake Rate (Conversion Lag) Adjustment

Before analyzing ROAS, adjust "Yesterday's" value based on the historical lag (from Module 1 data):

$$Adjusted\ ROAS = \frac{Current\ Conversion\ Value}{Bake\ Rate}$$

3.3 Nash Equilibrium (Marginal POAS)

Identify the tROAS point where:

$$\Delta Profit / \Delta Spend \approx 1.1$$

4. Google Ads API Query (GAQL)

Fetching the campaign_aggregate_asset_view or campaign_bid_simulator.

SELECT
campaign_bid_simulator.campaign_id,
campaign_bid_simulator.target_roas_points.target_roas_simulations
FROM campaign_bid_simulator
WHERE campaign_bid_simulator.campaign_id = '{campaign_id}'

5. Claude AI Integration (The Game Theorist)

Claude Code must use Sonnet 4.6 to interpret simulation data. System prompt in prompts/bidding_strategist.md:

System Prompt:

You are a Game Theory Expert specializing in VCG Auctions. Analyze the bid simulator results for Moodbook.

Decision Logic:

  1. Identify the Nash Equilibrium where we maximize absolute profit, not just ROAS.

  2. Flag "Irrational Market Behavior" if competitors have pushed CPCs above our Expected Value.

  3. Propose a small adjustment (±5% of current tROAS) to maintain algorithmic stability.

  4. Language: Greek (for report).

6. Acceptance Criteria

  • AC1: tROAS proposals never exceed ±50 basis points per run to avoid resetting Google's learning phase.

  • AC2: The system correctly calculates "Expected Value" using current Conversion Rate and COGS-adjusted Margin.

  • AC3: Conversion Lag (Bake Rate) is factored in before any tROAS decrease is proposed.

  • AC4: DRY_RUN=true prevents the CampaignService.mutate call and logs the proposed change to YAML.

Module 7 Technical Spec_ Seasonal & Greek-Calendar Automation

Module 7 — Seasonal & Greek-Calendar Automation (Technical Specification)

Project: Moodbook Google Ads Automation Bot

Module: 07 — Seasonal Activations & Event-Driven Automation

Target Audience: Claude Code (Developer Agent)

Dependencies: Module 00 (Foundation), Module 05 (Creative Gen)

1. Overview & Architecture

This module automates campaign adjustments and asset rotations based on the Greek seasonal calendar and Moodbook's specific product peaks (Wedding, Baptism). It ensures Moodbook is ready for key gift-giving events without manual intervention, following the "No-Discount" brand policy.

Data Flow:

  1. Check Calendar: Monitor a local JSON configuration for upcoming Greek events.

  2. Assess Lead Time: Trigger stages (T-21, T-14, T-7) based on the event date.

  3. Draft: Use Claude Sonnet 4.6 to draft seasonal headlines (e.g., "Gift Wrapping included for Mother's Day").

  4. Multipliers: Propose budget multipliers for peak weeks.

  5. Act: Open a Pull Request with seasonal asset/budget changes.

2. State Management (JSON Config)

Claude Code must create config/seasonal_calendar.json with specific Greek dates:

{
"events": [
{"name": "Orthodox Easter", "date_calc": "variable_easter", "lead_days": 14},
{"name": "Mother's Day", "date_calc": "greek_mother_day", "lead_days": 21},
{"name": "Father's Day", "date_calc": "3rd_sunday_june", "lead_days": 14},
{"name": "Wedding Season", "start": "04-01", "end": "10-31", "multiplier": 1.2}
]
}

3. Logic & Automation Rules

Claude Code must implement the transition logic in src/calculators/seasonal.py:

  • Phase 1 (Discovery - T-21): Increase budget for specific product line PMax by 10%. Claude drafts "Planning" copy.

  • Phase 2 (Peak - T-7): Increase budget by 25%. Claude drafts "Guaranteed Delivery" copy.

  • Phase 3 (Post - T+2): Revert to baseline budget and evergreen assets.

Strict Constraint: No seasonal copy can include "Εκπτώσεις". Focus on "Δωρεάν Συσκευασία Δώρου" and "Προσωποποιημένο".

4. Claude AI Integration (Seasonal Copywriter)

System prompt in prompts/seasonal_copywriter.md:

System Prompt:

You are an expert Greek copywriter for Moodbook. Generate seasonal assets for [Event Name].

Rules:

  1. Focus on the emotional connection of the gift.

Module 8 Technical Spec_ Mobile Funnel & GA4 Audit

Module 8 — Mobile Funnel & GA4 Audit (Technical Specification)

Project: Moodbook Google Ads Automation Bot

Module: 08 — Technical Funnel Monitoring & Data Drift Audit

Target Audience: Claude Code (Developer Agent)

Dependencies: Module 01 (Profit Core)

1. Overview & Architecture

This module acts as a technical watchdog for Moodbook's e-commerce funnel. It monitors for discrepancies between Google Ads and GA4 (Conversion Drift) and identifies technical underperformance in the mobile user experience. It does not fix UX but provides the data necessary for Shopify-side intervention.

Data Flow:

  1. Extract: Pull device-segmented metrics (Mobile vs Desktop) and fetch GA4 transaction counts via the Google Analytics Data API.

  2. Fetch URLs: Scan all active landing_page_view URLs for 404/500 errors.

  3. Compare: Calculate the drift percentage between GAds conversions and GA4 purchases.

  4. Analyze: Claude Haiku scores ad-to-landing-page message match.

  5. Alert: Raise a high-priority GitHub Issue if drift exceeds 15% or Mobile CPA > 1.4x Desktop.

2. Database Extension (SQLite)

Track technical health and drift history in state/metrics.db.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS technical_audit (
audit_date TEXT NOT NULL,
campaign_id TEXT NOT NULL,
mobile_cpa REAL,
desktop_cpa REAL,
gads_conversions REAL,
ga4_conversions REAL,
drift_pct REAL,
lp_status_code INTEGER,
PRIMARY KEY (audit_date, campaign_id)
);

3. Mathematical Logic & Drift Rules

Implement in src/calculators/technical_audit.py:

3.1 Conversion Drift Calculation

$$Drift = \frac{|GAds\_Conversions - GA4\_Transactions|}{GA4\_Transactions}$$

  • Rule: If Drift > 0.15 for a campaign with ≥ 5 transactions, flag for "Tracking Audit".

3.2 Mobile Efficiency Index (MEI)

$$MEI = \frac{Mobile\ CPA}{Desktop\ CPA}$$

  • Rule: If MEI > 1.4, trigger a "Mobile Funnel Performance" alert.

4. Google Ads & GA4 API Queries

GAQL (Device Segment):

SELECT
campaign.id,
device,
metrics.cost_micros,
metrics.conversions
FROM campaign
WHERE segments.date = YESTERDAY

GA4 Query: Fetch totalPurchases dimensioned by sessionSourceMedium.

5. Claude AI Integration (Technical Analyst)

System prompt in prompts/technical_analyst.md:

System Prompt:

You are a Technical SEO and Tracking Expert. Analyze the following drift and mobile performance data for Moodbook.

Instructions:

  1. If drift is high, explain potential causes (Cookie consent, Server-side tracking failure).

  2. If mobile CPA is high, analyze the Landing Page UX (Speed, configurator difficulty).

  3. Explain if the technical failure is wasting more than €50/week.

  4. Language: Greek.

6. Acceptance Criteria

  • AC1: The script successfully authenticates with BOTH Google Ads and GA4 Data APIs.

  • AC2: Headless URL checks are cached to avoid excessive requests to moodbook.gr.

Module 9 Technical Spec_ Forecast & Saturation Modeling

Module 9 — Forecast & Saturation Modeling (Technical Specification)

Project: Moodbook Google Ads Automation Bot

Module: 09 — Budget Saturation Modeling & Marginal Profit Forecasting

Target Audience: Claude Code (Developer Agent)

Dependencies: Module 01 (Profit Core), Module 06 (tROAS Calibration)

1. Overview & Architecture

This module identifies the "Scaling Limit" for each Moodbook product line. It uses Non-Linear Programming (NLP) to build saturation curves, identifying the exact point where adding more budget stops generating incremental profit (Nash Equilibrium). It provides a CLI tool for Stelios to run "What-if" scenarios.

Data Flow:

  1. Extract: Pull 90 days of budget_simulator and bid_simulator data.

  2. Model: Use logarithmic regression to build a saturation curve ($Profit = a \cdot \ln(Spend) + b$).

  3. Calculate: Determine the Marginal POAS (Profit on Ad Spend of the next €1).

  4. Simulate: Claude Sonnet 4.6 turns numerical scaling projections into business cases.

  5. CLI: Provide a terminal command for manual scaling queries.

2. Database Extension (SQLite)

Store regression coefficients to track how market saturation changes seasonally.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS saturation_models (
campaign_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
last_updated TEXT,
alpha_coefficient REAL,
beta_coefficient REAL,
max_profitable_spend REAL
);

3. Mathematical Modeling & Scaling Rules

Implement in src/calculators/forecaster.py:

3.1 Saturation Curve (Logarithmic)

$$Conversion\ Value = \alpha \cdot \ln(Spend) + \beta$$

  • Use scipy.optimize.curve_fit to calculate coefficients from simulator data points.

3.2 Marginal POAS Calculation

$$Marginal\ POAS = \frac{d(Net\ Profit)}{d(Spend)}$$

  • Scaling Rule: Propose budget increases ONLY IF Marginal POAS > 1.2.

  • Ceiling Rule: If Marginal POAS \< 1.05, the campaign is "Saturated". Stop increasing budget.

4. Google Ads API Query (GAQL)

SELECT
campaign_budget_simulation_view.budget_simulation_points
FROM campaign_budget_simulation_view
WHERE campaign.id = '{campaign_id}'

5. Scaling CLI Utility

Claude Code must create cli/forecast.py:

# Example Usage:
# python cli/forecast.py --campaign "Wedding_PMax" --increase 20

The CLI will output:

"Increasing budget by 20% (€X) is projected to generate €Y in net profit (Marginal POAS: 1.15). Status: SCALE RECOMMENDED."

6. Claude AI Integration (Scaling Strategist)

System prompt in prompts/scaling_strategist.md:

System Prompt:

You are a Financial Analyst for an e-commerce brand. Explain scaling projections to the owner.

Focus:

  1. Distinguish between ROAS (which always drops when scaling) and Net Profit (which we want to maximize).

  2. Explain the risk of "Hitting the Wall" (Saturation).

  3. Language: Greek.

7. Acceptance Criteria

  • AC1: Saturation models are updated weekly to account for changes in competition.

  • AC2: The scaling logic respects the "20% rule" (no budget jump > 20% in 7 days).

  • AC3: Marginal POAS calculation correctly uses the net profit margin from Module 1.

  • AC4: CLI tool provides clear uncertainty bands (e.g., ±10% on projections).
