Drupal AI UX meeting 7 July 2026
## Meeting Overview **Date:** Monday, July 6, 2026 **Attendees:** Aidan, Marcus, Ángela, Vidit ### Canvas build-state UI (lock and indicator) * Lock before the agent's first tool call, then unlock via the polling service if that call is not add or delete * A new Lock marker tool the agent calls in its first loop drives long-running builds; the sidebar stays unlocked * Per-component glow with a scrim over the rest, an optional follow-along auto-scroll, and plan mode rendering gray skeleton boxes ### Dev environment and spec workflow * one_line_installer sets up Claude Code plus Vercel agent-browser inside DDEV * No shared spec-tooling standard yet across the initiative (Beads, OpenSpec, Superpowers); the team wants to pick one * Idea floated: a Jacob Nielsen bot as a UX best-practices critic ### Module reviews: AI Metering and Annotation * Ángela reviews both this week in Figma, framed as an AI Initiative audit of modules under consideration * Metering: an optional running token and cost meter on the chat * Annotation: field-level guidance for AI agents; push it toward config; needs clear role-based editing ### Magoo Component UI (FYI) * Experiment: can an agent pick and reuse the right component instead of writing boilerplate * Extracts to React, Vue, SDC, Canvas, or Hugo; pitched as developer-facing marketing for Drupal ## Decisions * Canvas is one agent now, and the central area is called the viewport * Frame the metering and annotation review as an initiative audit; push Annotation toward config * UX team is planning to pick one of the "specs" systems (Beads, Openspec, SuperPowers) ## Questions * Which spec-based workflow should the UX team standardize on ## Next Steps * **Aidan:** Set up Canvas via one_line_installer, start the build-state lock work, update the draft ticket * **Aidan:** Re-send the Thursday invite to Ángela and Emma, and open the AI Initiative audit issue * **Ángela:** Review AI Metering and Annotation in Figma and bring findings Thursday * **Marcus:** Have Nick extend Annotation to config, and ask Kristen to review it against CCC
