## What it does

dx-aem ships ten skills aimed at AEM work. `/aem-snapshot` records a component's state before you touch it, `/aem-verify` compares the deployed result against that baseline and builds a test page. `/aem-qa` walks pages, checks rendering and dialogs, grabs screenshots and files bug tickets. Recon skills cover the rest: `/aem-component` locates source files and dialog fields, `/aem-page-search` finds pages built on a given component, `/aem-doctor` inspects project infrastructure.

Five subagents back this up, split across Sonnet and Haiku — dialog inspection, Playwright capture, file resolution, page finding, bug verification. Two MCP servers come bundled and are wired through `.mcp.json`: `aem-mcp-server` for JCR content and page management, plus Playwright MCP for browser automation. Neither needs a separate install.

The `dx-core` plugin has to be in place first, otherwise `/dx-init` and the build steps have nothing to run on. QA and stage environments behind HTTP Basic Auth take credentials under `aem.qa-basic-auth` in `.ai/config.yaml`, alongside author and publish URLs, the component prefix and brand list. Agents use that prefix to build CSS selectors against rendered pages.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install dx-aem@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- capture a component baseline before editing
- diff a deployed dialog against the baseline
- screenshot dialogs and pages for an authoring guide
- list every page that uses a component
- audit AEM project infrastructure health

## Example prompts
- Snapshot the hero component before I start changing it
- Verify starterkit after deploy and compare it to the baseline
- Run QA across the pages and open bug tickets for what breaks

# dx-aem — AEM Plugin for Claude Code

AEM-specific tools for Adobe Experience Manager projects: component verification, dialog inspection, demo capture, and QA automation. Built on top of the [dx-core](https://github.com/yourorg/claude-dx) development workflow plugin.

## Prerequisites

Install the `dx-core` plugin first:

```bash
/plugin marketplace add easingthemes/dx-aem-flow
/plugin install dx-core@dx-aem-flow
```

## Installation

```bash
/plugin install dx-aem@dx-aem-flow
```

## Quick Start

```bash
/dx-init                          # One-time project setup (dx plugin)
/aem-init                         # Add AEM config to .ai/config.yaml

/aem-snapshot starterkit          # Baseline before development
# ... develop your changes ...
/dx-step-build                         # Build & deploy to AEM
/aem-verify starterkit            # Verify component after deployment
/aem-editorial-guide starterkit              # Screenshot dialog, write authoring guide
```

## Skills (10)

### Verification

| Skill | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `/aem-snapshot` | Baseline component state before development — dialog fields, properties, pages |
| `/aem-verify` | Check component after deployment, compare against baseline, create test page |
| `/aem-editorial-guide` | Open AEM editor, screenshot dialog, write authoring guide |

### QA

| Skill | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `/aem-qa` | Full QA agent — navigate pages, check rendering/dialogs, capture screenshots, create Bug tickets |

### Documentation

| Skill | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `/aem-doc-gen` | Generate AEM demo docs — find existing pages, create docs page, capture dialog + website screenshots on QA, write authoring guide |

### Recon

| Skill | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `/aem-init` | Detect AEM structure, add `aem:` section to .ai/config.yaml |
| `/aem-component` | Find all source files, AEM pages, and dialog fields for a component |
| `/aem-page-search` | Find all AEM pages using a specific component |
| `/aem-refresh` | Update `.ai/project/` seed data from plugin, external docs repo, or manual sources |
| `/aem-doctor` | Check AEM project infrastructure health — component definitions, OSGi, dispatcher |

## Agents

| Agent | Model | Purpose |
|-------|-------|---------|
| `aem-inspector` | Sonnet | Dialog/component inspection, docs page creation, publishing via AEM MCP |
| `aem-editorial-guide-capture` | Sonnet | Playwright screenshots, QA Basic Auth, dialog + publisher view capture |
| `aem-file-resolver` | Haiku | Resolve all source files for an AEM component across repos |
| `aem-page-finder` | Haiku | Find AEM pages using a specific component |
| `aem-bug-executor` | Sonnet | AEM-specific bug verification via Playwright and AEM MCP |

## Configuration

`/aem-init` appends to `.ai/config.yaml`:

```yaml
aem:
  url: http://localhost:4502
  component-prefix: myproject
  brands: [brand-a, brand-b, brand-c]
  author-url-qa: "https://qa-author.example.com"
  publish-url-qa: "https://qa-publish.example.com"
  qa-basic-auth:
    username: "myuser"
    password: "mypassword"
```

### QA Basic Auth

QA/Stage environments often require HTTP Basic Auth. Configure credentials in `aem.qa-basic-auth` above. `/aem-init` also installs `.claude/rules/qa-basic-auth.md` — a convention rule that agents (`aem-editorial-guide-capture`, `aem-doc-gen`, `aem-bug-executor`) read at runtime for auth handling patterns (URL embedding, fetch fallback, QA URL detection).

The `aem.component-prefix` config is used by agents to construct CSS selectors when locating components on rendered pages.

## MCP Servers

This plugin bundles two MCP servers (configured automatically via `.mcp.json`):

- **[AEM MCP](https://www.npmjs.com/package/aem-mcp-server)** (`aem-mcp-server`) — JCR content, component dialogs, page management, node queries. Supports multi-instance configurations (local + QA). Included with the plugin — no separate install needed.
- **Playwright MCP** — browser automation for screenshots, navigation, and dialog interaction
