Alright, guys, let's dive into the details of skill cache management within SpecWeave. This is a crucial area, and we've made some awesome progress! This document outlines the progress, user story, acceptance criteria, tasks, and implementation details related to the skill cache management feature in SpecWeave. The goal? To ensure plugins are stored in a cache directory for quick loading, enhancing the user experience.

Progress

We're looking good! Here’s a quick rundown:

  • Acceptance Criteria: 5/5 (100%)
  • Tasks: 5/5 (100%)
  • Overall: 100%

████████████████████ 100%

This means we've hit all the marks in both our acceptance criteria and the tasks required to bring this feature to life. High five to everyone involved!

User Story

As a SpecWeave user, I want full plugins stored in a cache directory, So that they can be quickly loaded when needed.

This user story encapsulates the core need for efficient plugin loading. By caching plugins, we're reducing load times and making SpecWeave snappier and more responsive. This ultimately leads to a better user experience, which is always our top priority.

Acceptance Criteria

Let's break down the acceptance criteria to understand what makes this feature complete and successful. The skill cache management feature ensures that SpecWeave plugins are readily available, up-to-date, and efficiently managed, enhancing the overall user experience and system performance.

  • [x] AC-US3-01: Cache stored at ~/.specweave/skills-cache/
    • This ensures that the cache is located in a standardized, easily accessible location within the user's home directory. This makes it easier for users to manage their SpecWeave environment and troubleshoot any caching issues.
  • [x] AC-US3-02: Cache populated during specweave refresh-marketplace
    • The refresh-marketplace command now not only updates the list of available plugins but also populates the cache with the latest versions. This means that when a user goes to use a plugin, it's already downloaded and ready to go.
  • [x] AC-US3-03: Cache includes version metadata for update detection
    • Including version metadata in the cache allows SpecWeave to detect when a plugin has been updated in the marketplace. This ensures that users are always using the latest and greatest versions of their plugins, with all the newest features and bug fixes.
  • [x] AC-US3-04: Cache cleanup removes skills not in current marketplace
    • This is a crucial part of cache management. By removing skills that are no longer available in the marketplace, we prevent the cache from becoming bloated with outdated or irrelevant data. This keeps SpecWeave running smoothly and efficiently.
  • [x] AC-US3-05: Cache size reported in specweave status
    • Adding cache size reporting to the specweave status command gives users visibility into how much space the cache is using. This allows them to make informed decisions about managing their cache and optimizing their system performance.

Tasks

Here’s a breakdown of the tasks we completed to bring the skill cache management feature to life:

  • [x] T-006: Implement PluginCacheManager Class
    • The PluginCacheManager class is the heart of this feature. It's responsible for managing the cache, including storing plugins, retrieving them when needed, and cleaning up old or unused plugins. This class provides a clean and organized way to interact with the cache.
  • [x] T-007: Update refresh-marketplace to Populate Cache
    • As mentioned above, this task involved modifying the refresh-marketplace command to automatically populate the cache with the latest versions of plugins. This ensures that the cache is always up-to-date and ready to go.
  • [x] T-010: Add Cache Size Reporting
    • This task involved adding the ability to report the size of the cache in the specweave status command. This gives users visibility into how much space the cache is using and allows them to make informed decisions about managing their system.
  • [x] T-011: Implement Cache Cleanup
    • Implementing cache cleanup ensures that the cache doesn't become bloated with outdated or irrelevant data. This task involved creating a mechanism to automatically remove plugins that are no longer available in the marketplace.
  • [x] T-034: Write Unit Tests for Cache Manager
    • Writing unit tests for the Cache Manager is crucial for ensuring that it works correctly and reliably. These tests verify that the cache manager can store plugins, retrieve them, and clean up old plugins as expected. Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3!!
