# Next Steps: Complete the Roundtrip Workflow **Created**: August 12, 2025 **Context**: Following security fix, need to complete the content lifecycle loop **Priority**: CRITICAL - This is the core functionality of the MCP ecosystem ## The Complete Roundtrip Workflow Vision ```mermaid graph LR A[Collection] -->|install_content| B[User Local] B -->|modify/customize| C[Modified Element] C -->|save| D[Portfolio Local] D -->|push| E[GitHub Portfolio] E -->|submit_content| F[Collection Issue] F -->|automation| G[Validation] G -->|if valid| H[Collection PR] H -->|review| I[Manual Approval] I -->|merge| A[Collection] ``` ## Current State Assessment ### ✅ What's Working 1. **Collection → User**: `install_content` tool works 2. **Basic Validation**: Content validation in place 3. **Local Portfolio**: Storage structure exists 4. **Issue Creation**: Can create GitHub issues ### ⚠️ Partially Complete 1. **submit_content**: Creates issues but doesn't reference GitHub portfolio 2. **Validation**: Works locally but not automated in collection 3. **Portfolio Management**: Local only, no GitHub sync ### ❌ Missing Pieces 1. **GitHub Portfolio Integration**: User's personal GitHub repo for content 2. **Issue → PR Automation**: Transform issues into PRs automatically 3. **PR Validation Workflow**: Automated validation in PR pipeline 4. **Contextual Review Reports**: Clear reports for manual approval ## Priority 1: Complete the Roundtrip (This Week) ### Phase 1: GitHub Portfolio Integration 🔗 **Goal**: Enable users to store their modified content in their own GitHub portfolio #### 1.1 Create Portfolio Repository Structure ```typescript interface GitHubPortfolio { owner: string; // GitHub username repo: string; // Portfolio repo name (e.g., "my-mcp-portfolio") branch: string; // Default branch structure: { personas/: PersonaElement[]; skills/: SkillElement[]; templates/: TemplateElement[]; agents/: AgentElement[]; memories/: MemoryElement[]; ensembles/: EnsembleElement[]; } } ``` #### 1.2 Portfolio Sync Commands ```typescript // New MCP tools needed interface PortfolioTools { // Initialize GitHub portfolio init_github_portfolio(repo: string): Promise<void>; // Push local changes to GitHub push_to_portfolio(element: string): Promise<GitHubUrl>; // Pull from GitHub to local pull_from_portfolio(): Promise<SyncResult>; // Get portfolio status get_portfolio_status(): Promise<PortfolioStatus>; } ``` #### 1.3 Implementation Tasks - [ ] Create GitHub portfolio initialization tool - [ ] Add git operations for portfolio sync - [ ] Store GitHub portfolio config in user settings - [ ] Handle authentication (GitHub token) - [ ] Create portfolio README template ### Phase 2: Fix submit_content Tool 📤 **Goal**: Make submit_content reference the GitHub portfolio URL #### 2.1 Current Issue ```typescript // Current: Creates issue without portfolio reference await createIssue({ title: "New element submission", body: elementContent // Just pastes content }); // Needed: Reference GitHub portfolio await createIssue({ title: "New element submission", body: ` ## Element Submission **Source**: ${githubPortfolioUrl} **Type**: ${elementType} **Version**: ${version} View the element in my portfolio: ${githubPortfolioUrl} <details> <summary>Element Content</summary> \`\`\`yaml ${elementContent} \`\`\` </details> ` }); ``` #### 2.2 Implementation Tasks - [ ] Detect if content exists in GitHub portfolio - [ ] Include portfolio URL in issue - [ ] Add metadata about modifications - [ ] Link to diff if updating existing element - [ ] Include validation results ### Phase 3: Issue → PR Automation 🤖 **Goal**: Automatically convert validated issues into PRs #### 3.1 GitHub Action Workflow ```yaml name: Process Element Submission on: issues: types: [opened, edited] jobs: validate-and-create-pr: if: contains(github.event.issue.labels.*.name, 'element-submission') runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Extract Element Content id: extract # Parse issue body for element content - name: Validate Element id: validate # Run comprehensive validation # - Security checks # - Schema validation # - Content sanitization - name: Create PR if: steps.validate.outputs.valid == 'true' # Create PR with validated content - name: Post Validation Report # Comment on issue with results ``` #### 3.2 Validation Pipeline ```typescript interface ValidationPipeline { // Stage 1: Security securityValidation: { maliciousContent: boolean; commandInjection: boolean; pathTraversal: boolean; }; // Stage 2: Schema schemaValidation: { validYAML: boolean; requiredFields: boolean; typeCorrect: boolean; }; // Stage 3: Quality qualityValidation: { description: boolean; examples: boolean; documentation: boolean; }; // Stage 4: Compatibility compatibilityValidation: { duplicateCheck: boolean; versionConflict: boolean; dependencies: boolean; }; } ``` #### 3.3 Implementation Tasks - [ ] Create GitHub Action workflow - [ ] Build validation Docker container - [ ] Implement element extraction from issues - [ ] Create PR generation logic - [ ] Add validation reporting ### Phase 4: PR Validation & Review Reports 📊 **Goal**: Comprehensive validation in PR with clear review reports #### 4.1 PR Validation Checks ```yaml name: PR Validation Suite on: pull_request: paths: - 'library/**' - 'showcase/**' jobs: security-scan: # Run security validation schema-check: # Validate YAML/JSON structure content-quality: # Check documentation, examples integration-test: # Test element loading/activation generate-report: # Create comprehensive review report ``` #### 4.2 Contextual Review Report ```markdown ## Element Review Report ### Security Assessment ✅ - No malicious patterns detected - Command injection: PASS - Path traversal: PASS - Unicode attacks: PASS ### Quality Metrics - Documentation: 8/10 - Examples: Present ✅ - Test Coverage: 85% - Performance Impact: Minimal ### Compatibility -
