Repo Import List Helper Implementation Plan

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.

Goal: Add a helper that scans parent folders for git repos and bulk-creates lists (with WorkingDir pre-filled) for the repos the user ticks.

Architecture: A pure RepoScanner finds git repos under a parent folder. A RepoImportModalViewModel loads existing lists' working dirs, merges scanned candidates into a checklist (marking already-added repos), and creates ListEntity rows for ticked-new repos via ListRepository. RepoImportModalView hosts the checklist and a folder picker. Two entry points open the modal: a Help-menu item (handled by IslandsShellViewModel) and a folder button in the Lists island (handled by ListsIslandViewModel). Each entry point reloads the Lists island after the modal closes.

Tech Stack: .NET 8, Avalonia 12, CommunityToolkit.Mvvm source generators, EF Core (SQLite), xUnit.


File Structure

Create:

  • src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Services/RepoScanner.cs — pure filesystem scan; RepoCandidate record + RepoScanner.Scan.
  • src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Modals/RepoImportItemViewModel.cs — one checklist row.
  • src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Modals/RepoImportModalViewModel.cs — modal VM (load, merge, create) + static BuildCandidates.
  • src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Modals/RepoImportModalView.axaml (+ .axaml.cs) — modal window + folder picker.
  • tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/RepoScannerTests.cs — scanner unit tests.
  • tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/RepoImportCandidatesTests.cs — merge/dedupe/already-added unit tests.

Modify:

  • src/ClaudeDo.App/Program.cs — register RepoImportModalViewModel (transient) + a Func<RepoImportModalViewModel>; pass the Func into IslandsShellViewModel.
  • src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Islands/ListsIslandViewModel.csShowRepoImportModal Func + OpenRepoImportCommand.
  • src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Islands/ListsIslandView.axaml — folder button beside + New list.
  • src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Islands/ListsIslandView.axaml.cs — wire ShowRepoImportModal.
  • src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/IslandsShellViewModel.csShowRepoImportModal Func + OpenRepoImportCommand; inject Func<RepoImportModalViewModel>.
  • src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/MainWindow.axaml — Help-menu item Add repos as lists….
  • src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/MainWindow.axaml.cs — wire ShowRepoImportModal.
  • src/ClaudeDo.Ui/CLAUDE.md — document the new modal + entry points.

Task 1: RepoScanner

Files:

  • Create: src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Services/RepoScanner.cs

  • Test: tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/RepoScannerTests.cs

  • Step 1: Write the failing tests

Create tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/RepoScannerTests.cs:

using ClaudeDo.Ui.Services;

namespace ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests;

public sealed class RepoScannerTests : IDisposable
{
    private readonly string _root =
        Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), "repo-scan-" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N"));

    public RepoScannerTests() => Directory.CreateDirectory(_root);

    public void Dispose()
    {
        try { Directory.Delete(_root, recursive: true); } catch { }
    }

    private string MakeDir(string name)
    {
        var p = Path.Combine(_root, name);
        Directory.CreateDirectory(p);
        return p;
    }

    [Fact]
    public void Scan_ReturnsSubfoldersWithGitDirectory()
    {
        var repo = MakeDir("repo-a");
        Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.Combine(repo, ".git"));

        var result = RepoScanner.Scan(_root);

        Assert.Single(result);
        Assert.Equal("repo-a", result[0].Name);
        Assert.Equal(repo, result[0].FullPath);
    }

    [Fact]
    public void Scan_TreatsDotGitFileAsRepo()
    {
        var repo = MakeDir("worktree-repo");
        File.WriteAllText(Path.Combine(repo, ".git"), "gitdir: ../somewhere");

        var result = RepoScanner.Scan(_root);

        Assert.Single(result);
        Assert.Equal("worktree-repo", result[0].Name);
    }

    [Fact]
    public void Scan_IgnoresPlainFolders()
    {
        MakeDir("not-a-repo");

        var result = RepoScanner.Scan(_root);

        Assert.Empty(result);
    }

    [Fact]
    public void Scan_IsNotRecursive()
    {
        var nested = MakeDir(Path.Combine("outer", "inner"));
        Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.Combine(nested, ".git"));
        // outer itself has no .git

        var result = RepoScanner.Scan(_root);

        Assert.Empty(result);
    }

    [Fact]
    public void Scan_ReturnsEmptyForMissingFolder()
    {
        var result = RepoScanner.Scan(Path.Combine(_root, "does-not-exist"));

        Assert.Empty(result);
    }
}
  • Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail

Run: dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests --filter RepoScannerTests Expected: FAIL — RepoScanner / RepoCandidate do not exist (compile error).

  • Step 3: Implement RepoScanner

Create src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Services/RepoScanner.cs:

namespace ClaudeDo.Ui.Services;

public sealed record RepoCandidate(string Name, string FullPath);

public static class RepoScanner
{
    public static IReadOnlyList<RepoCandidate> Scan(string parentFolder)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(parentFolder) || !Directory.Exists(parentFolder))
            return Array.Empty<RepoCandidate>();

        var result = new List<RepoCandidate>();
        IEnumerable<string> subdirs;
        try { subdirs = Directory.EnumerateDirectories(parentFolder); }
        catch { return Array.Empty<RepoCandidate>(); }

        foreach (var dir in subdirs)
        {
            var gitPath = Path.Combine(dir, ".git");
            if (Directory.Exists(gitPath) || File.Exists(gitPath))
                result.Add(new RepoCandidate(Path.GetFileName(dir), dir));
        }
        return result;
    }
}
  • Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass

Run: dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests --filter RepoScannerTests Expected: PASS (5 tests).

  • Step 5: Commit
git add src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Services/RepoScanner.cs tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/RepoScannerTests.cs
git commit -m "feat(ui): add RepoScanner for git repo discovery"

Task 2: RepoImportItemViewModel

Files:

  • Create: src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Modals/RepoImportItemViewModel.cs

No dedicated test (trivial display VM; covered indirectly by Task 3).

  • Step 1: Implement the item VM

Create src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Modals/RepoImportItemViewModel.cs:

using CommunityToolkit.Mvvm.ComponentModel;

namespace ClaudeDo.Ui.ViewModels.Modals;

public sealed partial class RepoImportItemViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
    public string Name { get; init; } = "";
    public string FullPath { get; init; } = "";

    // True when a list already points at this path. Such rows are shown ticked + disabled.
    public bool AlreadyAdded { get; init; }
    public bool CanToggle => !AlreadyAdded;

    [ObservableProperty] private bool _isChecked;
}
  • Step 2: Build to verify it compiles

Run: dotnet build src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ClaudeDo.Ui.csproj Expected: Build succeeded.

  • Step 3: Commit
git add src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Modals/RepoImportItemViewModel.cs
git commit -m "feat(ui): add RepoImportItemViewModel"

Task 3: RepoImportModalViewModel

Files:

  • Create: src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Modals/RepoImportModalViewModel.cs
  • Test: tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/RepoImportCandidatesTests.cs

The pure BuildCandidates static method is the tested seam (dedupe + already-added marking). LoadAsync/CreateAsync touch the DB and are verified manually.

  • Step 1: Write the failing tests

Create tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests/RepoImportCandidatesTests.cs:

using ClaudeDo.Ui.Services;
using ClaudeDo.Ui.ViewModels.Modals;

namespace ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests;

public sealed class RepoImportCandidatesTests
{
    [Fact]
    public void BuildCandidates_NewRepo_IsCheckedAndNotAlreadyAdded()

        var items = RepoImportModalViewModel.BuildCandidates(found, current, existing);

        Assert.Single(items);
        Assert.True(items[0].IsChecked);
        Assert.False(items[0].AlreadyAdded);
        Assert.Equal("repo-a", items[0].Name);
    }

        var items = RepoImportModalViewModel.BuildCandidates(found, current, existing);

        Assert.Single(items);
        Assert.True(items[0].AlreadyAdded);
        Assert.True(items[0].IsChecked); // already-added rows render ticked
    }

    [Fact]
    public void BuildCandidates_SkipsPathsAlreadyShown()
    {
        var found = new[] { new RepoCandidate("repo-a", @"C:\src\repo-a") };
        var current = new HashSet<string>(new[] { @"c:\src\repo-a" }, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
        var existing = new HashSet<string>(StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase);

        var items = RepoImportModalViewModel.BuildCandidates(found, current, existing);

        Assert.Empty(items);
    }
}

Task 4: RepoImportModalView

Files:

  • Create: src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Modals/RepoImportModalView.axaml
  • Create: src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Modals/RepoImportModalView.axaml.cs

Modeled on AboutModalView.axaml (header/body/footer) and ListSettingsModalView.axaml.cs (folder picker).

  • Step 1: Create the view XAML

Create src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Modals/RepoImportModalView.axaml:

  • Step 2: Create the code-behind with folder picker

Create src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Modals/RepoImportModalView.axaml.cs:

using Avalonia.Controls;
using Avalonia.Input;
using Avalonia.Interactivity;
using Avalonia.Platform.Storage;
using ClaudeDo.Ui.ViewModels.Modals;

namespace ClaudeDo.Ui.Views.Modals;

public partial class RepoImportModalView : Window
{
    public RepoImportModalView()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void TitleBar_PointerPressed(object? sender, PointerPressedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.GetCurrentPoint(this).Properties.IsLeftButtonPressed)
            BeginMoveDrag(e);
    }

    private async void AddFolderClicked(object? sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (DataContext is not RepoImportModalViewModel vm) return;
        var top = TopLevel.GetTopLevel(this);
        if (top is null) return;

        var folders = await top.StorageProvider.OpenFolderPickerAsync(new FolderPickerOpenOptions
        {
            Title = "Choose folders containing repos",
            AllowMultiple = true,
        });
        if (folders.Count == 0) return;

        vm.AddFolders(folders.Select(f => f.Path.LocalPath));
    }
}
  • Step 3: Build to verify it compiles

Run: dotnet build src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ClaudeDo.Ui.csproj Expected: Build succeeded. (TitleBar_PointerPressed is unused for now but kept for parity with other modals; if the build warns as error, leave it — other modals keep the same handler.)

  • Step 4: Commit
git add src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Modals/RepoImportModalView.axaml src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Modals/RepoImportModalView.axaml.cs
git commit -m "feat(ui): add RepoImportModalView"

Task 5: DI registration

Files:

  • Modify: src/ClaudeDo.App/Program.cs:106 (after ListSettingsModalViewModel registration)

  • Step 1: Register the modal VM and its factory

In src/ClaudeDo.App/Program.cs, after the line sc.AddTransient<ListSettingsModalViewModel>(); add:

        sc.AddTransient<RepoImportModalViewModel>();
        sc.AddTransient<Func<RepoImportModalViewModel>>(sp => () => sp.GetRequiredService<RepoImportModalViewModel>());

(RepoImportModalViewModel is in namespace ClaudeDo.Ui.ViewModels.Modals, already imported in Program.cs via the existing modal VM usings — verify the using is present; if not, add using ClaudeDo.Ui.ViewModels.Modals;.)

  • Step 2: Build to verify it compiles

Run: dotnet build src/ClaudeDo.App/ClaudeDo.App.csproj Expected: Build succeeded.

  • Step 3: Commit
git add src/ClaudeDo.App/Program.cs
git commit -m "chore(di): register RepoImportModalViewModel"

Task 6: Lists island entry point

Files:

  • Modify: src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Islands/ListsIslandViewModel.cs

  • Modify: src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Islands/ListsIslandView.axaml

  • Modify: src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Islands/ListsIslandView.axaml.cs

  • Step 1: Add Func + command to the VM

In src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Islands/ListsIslandViewModel.cs, next to the existing ShowListSettingsModal property (around line 30), add:

    public Func<RepoImportModalViewModel, System.Threading.Tasks.Task>? ShowRepoImportModal { get; set; }

Then add a command (place it near CreateListAsync, e.g. after the OpenWorktreesOverviewAsync command around line 71):

    [RelayCommand]
    private async System.Threading.Tasks.Task OpenRepoImportAsync()
    {
        if (ShowRepoImportModal is null || _services is null) return;
        var vm = _services.GetRequiredService<RepoImportModalViewModel>();
        await vm.LoadAsync();
        await ShowRepoImportModal(vm);
        await LoadAsync();
    }

(RepoImportModalViewModel is in ClaudeDo.Ui.ViewModels.Modals, already imported at the top of this file.)

  • Step 2: Add the folder button in XAML

In src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Islands/ListsIslandView.axaml, replace the existing + New list button block (lines 171-183) with a row that holds both the new-list button and a folder-scan button:

        <!-- New list + import row -->
        <Grid ColumnDefinitions="*,Auto" Margin="0,4,0,0">
          <Button Grid.Column="0" Classes="new-list-btn"
                  Command="{Binding CreateListCommand}">
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Spacing="6">
              <PathIcon Data="{StaticResource Icon.Plus}"
                        Width="13" Height="13"
                        Foreground="{DynamicResource TextMuteBrush}"
                        VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
              <TextBlock Text="New list" FontSize="12"
                         Foreground="{DynamicResource TextMuteBrush}"
                         VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
            </StackPanel>
          </Button>
          <Button Grid.Column="1" Classes="icon-btn" Margin="6,0,0,0"
                  Command="{Binding OpenRepoImportCommand}"
                  ToolTip.Tip="Add repos as lists">
            <PathIcon Data="{StaticResource Icon.Folder}"
                      Width="14" Height="14"
                      Foreground="{DynamicResource TextMuteBrush}"/>
          </Button>
        </Grid>
  • Step 3: Wire the Func in the code-behind

In src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Islands/ListsIslandView.axaml.cs, inside the DataContextChanged handler (after the vm.ShowWorktreesOverviewModal = ... assignment, before the closing brace of the if block around line 66), add:

                vm.ShowRepoImportModal = async modal =>
                {
                    var window = new RepoImportModalView { DataContext = modal };
                    modal.CloseAction = () => window.Close();
                    var top = TopLevel.GetTopLevel(this) as Window;
                    if (top is null) window.Show();
                    else await window.ShowDialog(top);
                };

(RepoImportModalView is in ClaudeDo.Ui.Views.Modals, already imported in this file.)

  • Step 4: Build to verify it compiles

Run: dotnet build src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ClaudeDo.Ui.csproj Expected: Build succeeded.

  • Step 5: Commit
git add src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/Islands/ListsIslandViewModel.cs src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Islands/ListsIslandView.axaml src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/Islands/ListsIslandView.axaml.cs
git commit -m "feat(ui): add repo import button to Lists island"

Task 7: Help-menu entry point

Files:

  • Modify: src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/IslandsShellViewModel.cs

  • Modify: src/ClaudeDo.App/Program.cs (pass the Func into the shell VM)

  • Modify: src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/MainWindow.axaml

  • Modify: src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/MainWindow.axaml.cs

  • Step 1: Add Func, factory field, and command to the shell VM

In src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/IslandsShellViewModel.cs:

(a) Near the ShowAboutModal property (line 44), add:

    public Func<RepoImportModalViewModel, Task>? ShowRepoImportModal { get; set; }

(b) Add a backing field for the factory next to _worktreesOverviewVmFactory (declared as a private readonly field elsewhere in the class). Add:

    private readonly Func<RepoImportModalViewModel>? _repoImportVmFactory;

(c) Add a parameter to the public constructor (line 162-171) — append after mergeVmFactory:

        Func<MergeModalViewModel> mergeVmFactory,
        Func<RepoImportModalViewModel> repoImportVmFactory)

and in the constructor body assign it (next to _mergeVmFactory = mergeVmFactory;):

        _repoImportVmFactory = repoImportVmFactory;

(d) Add the command near OpenAbout (line 256):

    [RelayCommand]
    private async Task OpenRepoImport()
    {
        if (ShowRepoImportModal is null || _repoImportVmFactory is null) return;
        var vm = _repoImportVmFactory();
        await vm.LoadAsync();
        await ShowRepoImportModal(vm);
        if (Lists is not null) await Lists.LoadAsync();
    }

(RepoImportModalViewModel is in ClaudeDo.Ui.ViewModels.Modals, already imported in this file.)

  • Step 2: Pass the Func into the shell VM in DI

IslandsShellViewModel is registered with sc.AddSingleton<IslandsShellViewModel>(); (Program.cs:123), which resolves constructor params from the container. Since Task 5 registered Func<RepoImportModalViewModel>, no change to the registration call is required — the new constructor parameter resolves automatically. Verify by building in Step 5.

  • Step 3: Add the Help-menu item

In src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/MainWindow.axaml, inside the Help MenuItem (after the About… item at line 74), add:

              <MenuItem Header="Add repos as lists…" Command="{Binding OpenRepoImportCommand}"/>
  • Step 4: Wire the Func in MainWindow code-behind

In src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/MainWindow.axaml.cs, inside OnDataContextChanged (after the vm.ShowWorktreesOverviewModal = ... block, before the closing brace of the if at line 65), add:

            vm.ShowRepoImportModal = async (modal) =>
            {
                var dlg = new RepoImportModalView { DataContext = modal };
                modal.CloseAction = () => dlg.Close();
                await dlg.ShowDialog(this);
            };

(RepoImportModalView is in ClaudeDo.Ui.Views.Modals, already imported in this file.)

  • Step 5: Build to verify it compiles

Run: dotnet build src/ClaudeDo.App/ClaudeDo.App.csproj Expected: Build succeeded (this also builds the Ui project).

  • Step 6: Commit
git add src/ClaudeDo.Ui/ViewModels/IslandsShellViewModel.cs src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/MainWindow.axaml src/ClaudeDo.Ui/Views/MainWindow.axaml.cs
git commit -m "feat(ui): add 'Add repos as lists' Help-menu entry point"

Task 8: Manual verification + docs

Files:

  • Modify: src/ClaudeDo.Ui/CLAUDE.md

  • Step 1: Run the full Ui test suite

Run: dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Ui.Tests Expected: PASS (all tests, including the new RepoScannerTests and RepoImportCandidatesTests).

  • Step 2: Manual smoke test

Launch the app (dotnet run --project src/ClaudeDo.App/ClaudeDo.App.csproj). Verify:

  • Lists island shows a folder button next to + New list; clicking it opens the modal.
  • Help menu shows Add repos as lists…; clicking it opens the same modal.
  • Add folder… → pick a parent folder containing git repos → repos appear as ticked rows; non-repo subfolders are absent.
  • A repo that already has a list appears ticked, disabled, with (already added).
  • The confirm button reads Create N list(s) and is disabled when N is 0.
  • Confirming creates the lists; they appear in the Lists island immediately after the modal closes.

Note: if you cannot run the GUI in this environment, state that explicitly rather than claiming the UI works.

  • Step 3: Update CLAUDE.md

In src/ClaudeDo.Ui/CLAUDE.md, under the ## Views section, add a bullet:

- **RepoImportModalView** — bulk-creates lists from git repos discovered under chosen parent folders. Opened via the folder button beside "New list" in the Lists island, or the "Add repos as lists…" Help-menu item. Repos already wired to a list show as disabled/"(already added)".
  • Step 4: Commit
git add src/ClaudeDo.Ui/CLAUDE.md
git commit -m "docs(ui): document RepoImportModalView"

Self-Review Notes

  • Spec coverage: Entry points (Help menu — Task 7; Lists island button — Task 6); RepoScanner non-recursive .git dir/file detection (Task 1); RepoImportModalViewModel load existing dirs + merge + create (Task 3); already-added disabled rows + (already added) label (Tasks 2/3/4); combined multi-folder checklist with path dedupe (Task 3 AddFolders); defaults Name/WorkingDir/DefaultCommitType (Task 3 CreateAsync); reload Lists island after close (Tasks 6/7); DI registration (Task 5); tests for scanner + merge logic (Tasks 1/3). All spec sections map to a task.
  • Type consistency: RepoCandidate(Name, FullPath), RepoScanner.Scan, RepoImportItemViewModel{Name,FullPath,AlreadyAdded,CanToggle,IsChecked}, RepoImportModalViewModel{Repos,CreateCount,CanCreate,CreateButtonText,LoadAsync,AddFolders,BuildCandidates,CreateCommand,CancelCommand,ShowRepoImportModal,CloseAction} used consistently across tasks.
  • YAGNI: No recursive scan, no inline rename, no per-list model/prompt/agent during import — all explicitly out of scope.
