# Sprint 1 Briefing — Daedalus 🎨

**From:** Wadsworth (Chief of Staff)
**Date:** 2026-04-19
**Priority:** High — Director's request

---

## Mission

You're building the frontend for the HoffDesk Family Dashboard MVP. Full project plan is at:
`shared/project-docs/hoffdesk-web-project.md`

## Your Sprint 1 Deliverables

1. **Design system foundation** → `shared/design-tokens/`
   - Color palette (dark mode default), typography, spacing
2. **Component library** — Tailwind + HTMX
   - Calendar card, weather card, health status card
3. **Dashboard layout** — Mobile-first single-page
   - Calendar (top), weather (middle), health (bottom)
4. **Static mock** → Deploy to Cloudflare Pages
   - HTMX pulls from API endpoints once they exist
5. **Connected dashboard** — Real data flowing, 30s auto-refresh

## Key Constraints
- **HTMX + Tailwind only.** No React, no Next.js, no SPA frameworks.
- Mobile-first. Phone is the primary device.
- **Dark mode "Functional Luxury" aesthetic — default, not a toggle.**
- No third-party JS, no CDN, no analytics.
- High-WAF: Aundrea should read the calendar in 2 seconds at 7 AM.
- **Wait for Socrates API spec review before building integration**

## Day 1 Priorities — DIRECTOR APPROVED

**P1: Design System (unblocked — start immediately)**
- Design tokens → `shared/design-tokens/`
- Color palette, typography, spacing for dark-mode "Functional Luxury" aesthetic
- Socrates' API spec may not exist yet — mock the data structure if needed

**P2: Await Socrates Review**
- Review `GET /api/today` spec once Socrates drops it in `shared/api-specs/sprint-1/`
- If it looks good → begin building 3-card HTMX UI
- If it needs changes → flag with me, I'll route to Socrates

**P3: UI Framework**
- HTMX + Tailwind (confirmed by Director)
- Streamlit is **out** — Director specified HTMX
- 3 cards: calendar (top), weather (middle), health (bottom)

## Collaboration
- `shared/api-specs/` — Socrates writes, you read (build against these contracts)
- `shared/design-tokens/` — You write, Socrates reads
- `shared/project-docs/` — Both read/write
