# CLAUDE.md — LexAI Guidance for Claude Code when working in this repository. ## What LexAI is A Grammarly-like **Chrome Extension (Manifest V3)** that provides AI writing assistance (grammar fix, rephrase, shorten, expand, explain) on any webpage. Users bring **their own LLM API key** — there is no LexAI backend. The extension's service worker calls the user's chosen provider directly. - **Providers:** OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, OpenRouter (all configured in `entrypoints/background.ts`). - **No subscription, no server.** The API key lives encrypted in `chrome.storage.local`. ## Tech stack - **WXT** `^0.20` — extension framework (wraps Vite). Entrypoints live in `entrypoints/`. - **React 18** + TypeScript — used only for the Options and Popup pages. - **Zustand** — a dependency, but state is currently local; not yet wired into a store. - **tweetnacl** / **tweetnacl-util** — `secretbox` symmetric encryption for the API key. - **Vitest** (jsdom) for unit tests, **Playwright** for e2e. - **Tailwind** is in devDependencies but **not active** — all UI uses inline style objects (WXT PostCSS was never wired up). Do not assume Tailwind classes work. ## Commands ```bash npm install # first-time setup (node_modules is gitignored; not present by default) npm run dev # WXT dev server with hot reload npm run build # production build → .output/chrome-mv3/ npm run zip # package for Chrome Web Store npm test # vitest (add `-- --run` for one-shot, non-watch) npm run test:e2e # Playwright (requires a prior `npm run build`) npm run typecheck # tsc --noEmit ``` **Prerequisite:** Node. CI pins **Node 22** (`node:22-bookworm`). Run `npm install` before any `npm run *` script — the binaries (`tsc`, `vitest`) come from `node_modules/.bin`. **Load unpacked in Chrome:** `npm run build` → `chrome://extensions` → Developer Mode → Load unpacked → select `.output/chrome-mv3`. ## Architecture Three cooperating contexts, message-passed over `chrome.runtime`: ``` entrypoints/content.ts (content script, injected into ) • Detects text selection: textarea/input (selectionStart/End) vs contenteditable/DOM (Range API) • Renders the floating toolbar + result modal + toasts (all inline-styled, appended to document.body) • Snapshots selection state BEFORE any async call, then Replace uses the snapshot • Sends { type: 'ANALYZE_TEXT', payload: {text, action, style} } to the background entrypoints/background.ts (service worker — the LLM proxy) • onMessage: ANALYZE_TEXT and COPY_AS • Reads provider/apiKey/apiKeyEnc/encKey/model from chrome.storage.local • Decrypts the key (tweetnacl secretbox), routes to the correct provider's fetch call • Registers right-click context menus (action × style) on install entrypoints/options/Options.tsx (settings page, React) • Provider + model + API key form; encrypts the key and writes apiKeyEnc/encKey to storage entrypoints/popup/Popup.tsx (toolbar popup, React) • Standalone text box → same ANALYZE_TEXT flow; shows config status; links to Options ``` Content script and popup **must not** call provider APIs directly — CORS and key handling belong in the background service worker. Route everything through `ANALYZE_TEXT`/`COPY_AS`. ### Message contract - `ANALYZE_TEXT` accepts **both** `{ payload: {text, action, style} }` (content/popup) and flat `{ text, action, style }`. Keep both shapes working if you touch the handler. - `action` values: `grammar`, `rephrase`, `shorten`, `expand`, `explain`. The context menu and popup emit `fix`, which `getSystemPrompt` normalizes to `grammar`. - The listener returns `true` to keep the async channel open — **required**; removing it silently breaks every response. ## Key conventions & gotchas - **`data-lexai="true"`** is set on every LexAI-injected DOM node. Selection/click handlers check `target.closest('[data-lexai="true"]')` to avoid self-triggering. Preserve it on any new injected element. - **Selection is captured eagerly** (on `mouseup` and on button `mousedown`) because focus shifts and the live selection is gone by the time an async response returns. When editing content.ts, keep the snapshot-before-await pattern intact. - **`z-index: 2147483647`** (max) on toolbar/modal so they sit above host-page UI. - **Provider code is duplicated**: each provider has a `callX` (system-prompt from action) and a `callXWithPrompt` (arbitrary system prompt, used by COPY_AS). A change to request shape usually needs to be made in both. See "Recommendations" below — this is a known smell. - **API-key handling:** prefer the encrypted path (`apiKeyEnc` + `encKey`); plaintext `apiKey` is legacy/back-compat only. Never log the key. Never add code that transmits it anywhere except the user's chosen provider endpoint. - **Backward compat:** don't drop the plaintext `apiKey` fallback without a migration. - Console `[LexAI …]` debug logs exist in content.ts's replace path — intentional for now. ## Testing notes - `tests/unit/setup.ts` mocks `global.chrome`. Unit tests currently exercise storage mocks rather than importing the real handlers — see Recommendations for the gap. - Playwright e2e loads the built extension via `--load-extension=.output/chrome-mv3`; the test files still contain `[EXTENSION_ID]` placeholders and won't pass as-is. ## CI / release (Gitea, not GitHub Actions) Workflows live in `.gitea/workflows/`: - `ci.yml` — typecheck → test → build → publish zip to Gitea package registry (on push to main/develop, PRs). - `deploy-chrome.yml` — on `v*.*.*` tag: build → upload → publish to Chrome Web Store. - Both send Telegram notifications. Secrets: `GITEATOKEN`, `CWS_*`, `TELEGRAM_*`. **Version bumps:** update `version` in **both** `package.json` and `wxt.config.ts` (the manifest version comes from wxt.config.ts). A `v*.*.*` git tag triggers the store deploy. ## When making changes - After editing an entrypoint, run `npm run typecheck` and `npm test -- --run`. - For behavior changes, `npm run build` and load unpacked to verify in a real page — the selection/replace logic is DOM-timing-sensitive and unit tests don't cover it. - Keep UI styling inline (no Tailwind) unless you're intentionally wiring PostCSS.
