Improve ClaudeBar Feature

Make improvements to existing functionality using TDD and rich domain design.

When to Use This vs Other Skills

Types of Improvements

1. UX Improvements

Enhance user experience without changing core logic:

Examples:
- Settings view scrolls on small screens
- Better loading indicators
- Improved accessibility
- Cleaner visual layout

Test approach: UI behavior tests or manual verification

2. Domain Improvements

Enhance domain model behavior:

Examples:
- Add computed property for common queries
- Improve status calculation
- Add convenience methods
- Better encapsulation

Test approach: State-based domain tests

swift
@Test func `model provides convenient access to lowest quota`() {
    // Given
    let snapshot = UsageSnapshot(quotas: [quota1, quota2, quota3])

    // Then - new convenience property
    #expect(snapshot.lowestQuota == quota2)
}

3. Infrastructure Improvements

Enhance probes, storage, or adapters:

Examples:
- Better error messages
- More robust parsing
- Improved timeout handling
- Caching support

Test approach: Behavior tests with mocked dependencies

4. Performance Improvements

Optimize existing functionality:

Examples:
- Reduce redundant API calls
- Lazy loading
- Parallel execution
- Caching

Test approach: Behavior tests (same results, better performance)

TDD Pattern (Chicago School)

Write Test for Improved Behavior

swift
@Suite
struct {Component}Tests {

    @Test func `{describes improved behavior}`() {
        // Given - standard setup
        let component = Component(...)

        // When - action
        let result = component.improvedMethod()

        // Then - verify improved behavior
        #expect(result.hasImprovedProperty)
    }
}

Keep Existing Tests

Improvements should NOT break existing behavior:

bash
# Run all tests to ensure no regressions
swift test

Guidelines

Do

• Keep changes focused and minimal
• Maintain existing behavior
• Add tests for new behavior
• Follow existing code patterns
• Update CHANGELOG

Don't

• Over-engineer simple improvements
• Change unrelated code
• Break existing tests
• Add features (use implement-feature)
• Skip tests for "small" changes

Checklist

• ] Current behavior understood
• ] Improvement scope defined (minimal)
• ] Test for improved behavior written
• ] Test FAILS before implementation
• ] Improvement implemented
• ] New test PASSES
• ] All existing tests still pass (swift test)
• ] CHANGELOG updated with improvement
