# Private Repo Backup — Alex Hair Design Studio

## Repository Map

| Repo | GitHub | Local Path | Visibility | Branch |
|------|--------|-----------|------------|--------|
| **Alex Hair Design Studio** (client site) | `UltronCore/alex-hair-design-studio` | `~/Desktop/alex-hair-design-studio/` | **Private** | `main` |
| **Claude Skill Vault** (reusable skills) | `UltronCore/claude-skill-vault` | `~/claude-skill-vault/` | Public | `main` |
| Local Service Site Template (upstream template) | `UltronCore/local-service-site-template` | `~/Desktop/local-service-site-template/` | Public | `alex-hair-design-site` |

> **Rule:** All day-to-day client work happens in `alex-hair-design-studio`. The template repo is upstream reference only — do NOT push client-specific changes there.

## When to Push — Decision Tree

```
Did you edit index.html, assets/, accessibility.html, llms.txt, robots.txt,
business-profile.json, or any client-facing file?
  → Push to: alex-hair-design-studio (main)

Did you write a new skill or update an existing skill in claude-skill-vault?
  → Push to: claude-skill-vault (main)

Did you write a reusable pattern or template that isn't client-specific?
  → Push to BOTH repos (skill vault + template as reference)

Did you add/change anything in local-service-site-template?
  → Only push there if it's a template-level improvement, not Alex-specific
```

## Standard Commit Workflow

### Client site changes (alex-hair-design-studio)
```bash
cd ~/Desktop/alex-hair-design-studio

# Run QA first — must pass 100%
node automation/run-all-checks.js

# Stage and commit
git add <files>
git commit -m "feat|fix|chore: short description"

# Push to private repo
git push origin main
```

### New skill created (claude-skill-vault)
```bash
cd ~/claude-skill-vault

# After writing the skill file
git add skills/<category>/<skill-name>/skill.md
git commit -m "skill(category): add <skill-name>"
git push origin main
```

---

## Quick Backup Commands

```bash
# Backup all client site changes
alias push-alex='cd ~/Desktop/alex-hair-design-studio && node automation/run-all-checks.js && git add -A && git commit -m "chore: auto-backup $(date +%Y-%m-%d)" && git push origin main'

# Backup new/updated skills
alias push-skills='cd ~/claude-skill-vault && git add -A && git commit -m "skill: auto-backup $(date +%Y-%m-%d)" && git push origin main'
```

## What Lives in Each Repo

### `alex-hair-design-studio` (private — all client work goes here)
```
index.html              ← production site
assets/                 ← images, JS, CSS
accessibility.html      ← WCAG statement
llms.txt                ← AI guidance
robots.txt              ← crawl rules
business-profile.json   ← structured business data
sitemap.xml / .html     ← sitemaps
automation/             ← QA suite (run before every push)
docs/                   ← project docs, CRM notes, photo review
feature-packs/          ← optional feature modules
skills/                 ← site-scoped skills (local to project)
claude-project/         ← Claude context bundles for handoff
```

### `claude-skill-vault` (public — reusable across all projects)
```
skills/ui-ux/ada-wcag-compliance/   ← WCAG 2.2 AA skill
skills/workflow/private-repo-backup/ ← THIS skill
skills/<category>/<name>/skill.md   ← all other skills
```

## Auto-Backup Triggers

Automatically push after completing any of these:
- ✅ QA passes at 100% after a significant feature
- ✅ New skill file written and tested
- ✅ New reusable HTML/CSS pattern documented
- ✅ Session ending with meaningful uncommitted work
- ✅ Before switching to a different project

## Repo Health Checks

```bash
# Verify private repo is up to date
cd ~/Desktop/alex-hair-design-studio && git status && git log --oneline -3

# Verify skill vault is up to date
cd ~/claude-skill-vault && git status && git log --oneline -3

# Quick QA on client site
cd ~/Desktop/alex-hair-design-studio && node automation/run-all-checks.js 2>&1 | tail -5
```
