# Team Grid Block Implementation Plan > **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking. **Goal:** Build a new `team-grid` ACF block for the Team page (and any other page that needs a team grid) that renders a responsive grid of team members. Each member shows their photo (rounded rectangle), name, and title. The bio is collapsed by default and expands vertically with a smooth animation when the photo, name, or title is clicked. **Architecture:** One new ACF block (`acf/team-grid`) with a single repeater of `members` (image, name, title, bio). The block uses native HTML `
`/`` for the click-to-expand interaction, animated with the `grid-template-rows: 0fr → 1fr` CSS pattern (no JavaScript). The block has no built-in background — the editor wraps it in an existing Section block when a dark/light background is needed. The page template is unchanged; the editor adds the block to the Team page in Gutenberg. **Tech Stack:** WordPress 6.x, PHP 8.x, Tailwind CSS v4, Playwright, axe-core, PHPCS (WordPress standard). ## Global Constraints - Tabs for PHP indentation (project standard). - `static/dist/theme.css` is committed (not gitignored) per project convention. - PHPCS uses the WordPress coding standard; `composer lint` must pass for all touched files. - All design colors use the project's existing CSS custom properties from `styles/base/colors.css`. No hardcoded hex values for theme colors. - Reuse existing design tokens where possible (e.g. `text-cwc-blue-01`, `var(--color-secondary)`). - The headshot uses `rounded-md` to match other image cards in the project. - All commits follow the project's emoji-prefixed commit-message style (e.g. `✨ feat: …`). - This work does **not** edit `header.php`, `footer.php`, `views/partials/page-hero.php`, or `views/partials/page-hero-services.php`. - `page.php` is not modified. - No JavaScript files are added. - Reuse the same `regACFBlocks()` auto-registration pattern as `services-list`. - Tailwind v4 picks up class names from source files at build time. The dynamic class names used in the CSS (`grid-cols-1`, `sm:grid-cols-2`, `lg:grid-cols-3`, `w-32 h-32`, etc.) must all be literal in the source for the build to emit them. ## File Structure | File | Responsibility | Created/Modified | | --- | --- | --- | | `views/blocks/team-grid/team-grid.php` | Block template (PHP) — renders the grid. | Create | | `views/blocks/team-grid/team-grid.css` | Block styles (CSS) — layout, photo, summary, animation. | Create | | `views/blocks/team-grid/block.json` | Block registration metadata. | Create | | `acf/group_team_grid.json` | ACF field group for the `acf/team-grid` block. | Create | | `styles/blocks/index.css` | Import the new block's CSS. | Modify | | `tests/team-page.spec.js` | Playwright tests for the rendered block. | Create | | `static/dist/theme.css` | Rebuilt via `npm run build`. | Modified | --- ## Task 1: ACF Field Group **Files:** - Create: `acf/group_team_grid.json` **Interfaces:** - Produces: ACF group with `key: "group_team_grid"`, location scoped to `block == acf/team-grid`, fields: `members` (repeater) → `image`, `name`, `title`, `bio`. - [ ] **Step 1: Create the ACF field group JSON file** Create the file `acf/group_team_grid.json` with the following exact content: ```json { "key": "group_team_grid", "title": "Team Grid", "fields": [ { "key": "field_team_grid_members", "label": "Members", "name": "members", "aria-label": "", "type": "repeater", "instructions": "Add team members. Click a card to expand the bio.", "required": 0, "conditional_logic": 0, "wrapper": { "width": "", "class": "", "id": "" }, "layout": "block", "pagination": 0, "min": 0, "max": 0, "collapsed": "", "button_label": "Add Team Member", "rows_per_page": 20, "sub_fields": [ { "key": "field_team_grid_member_image", "label": "Image", "name": "image", "aria-label": "", "type": "image", "instructions": "", "required": 0, "conditional_logic": 0, "wrapper": { "width": "", "class": "", "id": "" }, "return_format": "array", "library": "all", "min_width": "", "min_height": "", "min_size": "", "max_width": "", "max_height": "", "max_size": "", "mime_types": "", "allow_in_bindings": 0, "preview_size": "medium" }, { "key": "field_team_grid_member_name", "label": "Name", "name": "name", "aria-label": "", "type": "text", "instructions": "", "required": 0, "conditional_logic": 0, "wrapper": { "width": "", "class": "", "id": "" }, "default_value": "", "maxlength": "", "allow_in_bindings": 0, "placeholder": "", "prepend": "", "append": "" }, { "key": "field_team_grid_member_title", "label": "Title", "name": "title", "aria-label": "", "type": "text", "instructions": "", "required": 0, "conditional_logic": 0, "wrapper": { "width": "", "class": "", "id": "" }, "default_value": "", "maxlength": "", "allow_in_bindings": 0, "placeholder": "", "prepend": "", "append": "" }, { "key": "field_team_grid_member_bio", "label": "Bio", "name": "bio", "aria-label": "", "type": "wysiwyg", "instructions": "", "required": 0, "conditional_logic": 0, "wrapper": { "width": "", "class": "", "id": "" }, "default_value": "", "tabs": "visual", "toolbar": "basic", "media_upload": 0, "delay": 0, "allow_in_bindings": 0 } ] } ], "location": [ [ { "param": "block", "operator": "==", "value": "acf/team-grid" } ] ], "menu_order": 0, "position": "normal", "style": "default", "label_placement": "top", "instruction_placement": "label", "hide_on_screen": "", "active": true, "description": "Team grid block.

Click a card to expand the bio.", "category": "common", "icon": "groups", "keywords": ["team", "people", "staff", "bio"], "acf": { "mode": "preview", "renderTemplate": "team-grid.php" }, "supports": { "anchor": true, "align": false } } ``` - [ ] **Step 2: Verify the JSON parses** Run: `node -e "JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('views/blocks/team-grid/block.json','utf8')); console.log('OK')"` Expected: prints `OK` and exits 0. - [ ] **Step 3: Commit** ```bash cd "C:/Users/ksolo/Herd/community-works-collaborative/wp-content/themes/community-works-collaborative" git add views/blocks/team-grid/block.json git commit -m "✨ feat: Add team-grid block.json registration" ``` --- ## Task 3: Block CSS **Files:** - Create: `views/blocks/team-grid/team-grid.css` **Interfaces:** - Produces: BEM-styled CSS for `.team-grid`, `__inner`, `__card`, `__details`, `__summary`, `__photo`, `__name`, `__title`, `__bio-wrap`, `__bio-inner`, `__bio`. Reuses `text-cwc-blue-01` for the name. Implements the `grid-template-rows: 0fr → 1fr` animation for the bio. - [ ] **Step 1: Create the block CSS file** Create the file `views/blocks/team-grid/team-grid.css` with the following exact content: ```css /* Team Grid block */ .team-grid { &__card { @apply flex flex-col; } &__details { @apply flex flex-col; } &__summary { @apply flex flex-col items-center text-center cursor-pointer list-none; &::-webkit-details-marker { display: none; } &::marker { display: none; content: ''; } } &__photo { @apply w-32 h-32 sm:w-40 sm:h-40 lg:w-48 lg:h-48 object-cover rounded-md mb-4; } &__name { @apply text-cwc-blue-01 text-22px font-bold leading-tight mb-1; } &__title { @apply text-gray-600 text-16px font-light italic mb-3; } &__bio-wrap { display: grid; grid-template-rows: 0fr; transition: grid-template-rows 300ms ease; } &__details[open] &__bio-wrap { grid-template-rows: 1fr; } &__bio-inner { overflow: hidden; min-height: 0; } &__bio { @apply text-gray-700 text-16px font-light leading-snug pt-2; } } ``` - [ ] **Step 2: Verify the BEM children are present** Run: `grep -cE "&__(card|details|summary|photo|name|title|bio-wrap|bio-inner|bio)\b" views/blocks/team-grid/team-grid.css` Expected: `9` (one match per BEM child). - [ ] **Step 3: Commit** ```bash cd "C:/Users/ksolo/Herd/community-works-collaborative/wp-content/themes/community-works-collaborative" git add views/blocks/team-grid/team-grid.css git commit -m "✨ feat: Add team-grid block CSS" ``` --- ## Task 4: Block Template (PHP) **Files:** - Create: `views/blocks/team-grid/team-grid.php` **Interfaces:** - Consumes: `get_field( 'members' )` → array of members each with `image` (array: `url`, `alt`), `name` (string), `title` (string), `bio` (wysiwyg HTML). - Produces: A `
` element with a `__inner` grid div, and an `
` per member. Each card contains a `
` with a `` (photo + name + title) and a `__bio-wrap` containing the bio. - [ ] **Step 1: Create the block PHP template** Create the file `views/blocks/team-grid/team-grid.php` with the following exact content (tabs for indentation): ```php * element so the bio expands when the photo, name, or title is clicked. * * @package CWC */ namespace CWC; $members = get_field( 'members' ); if ( empty( $members ) ) { return; } $classes = 'team-grid container my-section mx-auto'; $wrapper = blockWrapperAttributes( $classes, $is_preview ); ?>
>
<?php echo esc_attr( $member['image']['alt'] ?? '' ); ?>

``` - [ ] **Step 2: Lint the PHP file with PHPCS** Run: `composer exec phpcs -- views/blocks/team-grid/team-grid.php` Expected: exits 0 with no errors. If PHPCS reports alignment warnings on the assignment block (similar to the Task 5 services-list fix), run `composer exec phpcbf -- views/blocks/team-grid/team-grid.php` to auto-fix, then re-run PHPCS to confirm exit 0. Whitespace-only changes are acceptable; do not modify logic. - [ ] **Step 3: Verify the dynamic utility classes are in the source** Run: `grep -E "grid-cols-1|sm:grid-cols-2|lg:grid-cols-3|w-32|w-40|w-48" views/blocks/team-grid/team-grid.php` Expected: at least 3 matches (Tailwind v4 must see the literal class names in the source to emit the rules). - [ ] **Step 4: Commit** ```bash cd "C:/Users/ksolo/Herd/community-works-collaborative/wp-content/themes/community-works-collaborative" git add views/blocks/team-grid/team-grid.php git commit -m "✨ feat: Add team-grid block PHP template" ``` --- ## Task 5: CSS Import Wiring **Files:** - Modify: `styles/blocks/index.css` **Interfaces:** - Consumes: `views/blocks/team-grid/team-grid.css` (from Task 3). - Produces: A new `@import` line at the end of `styles/blocks/index.css` so Tailwind's build picks up the block's CSS. - [ ] **Step 1: Add the import to the block index CSS** Append the following line at the end of `styles/blocks/index.css`: ```css @import '../../views/blocks/team-grid/team-grid.css'; ``` After the edit, the file should end with: ``` @import '../../views/blocks/services-list/services-list.css'; @import '../../views/blocks/team-grid/team-grid.css'; ``` - [ ] **Step 2: Verify the import is present** Run: `grep -cF "team-grid/team-grid.css" styles/blocks/index.css` Expected: `1`. - [ ] **Step 3: Commit** ```bash cd "C:/Users/ksolo/Herd/community-works-collaborative/wp-content/themes/community-works-collaborative" git add styles/blocks/index.css git commit -m "🔧 chore: Import team-grid block CSS into theme" ``` --- ## Task 6: Build the CSS **Files:** - Modify: `static/dist/theme.css` **Interfaces:** - Consumes: The new import in `styles/blocks/index.css` (from Task 5) and the block CSS (from Task 3). - Produces: A rebuilt `static/dist/theme.css` that includes the `.team-grid*` rules and the responsive `grid-cols-1 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3` utilities. - [ ] **Step 1: Run the production Tailwind build** Run: `npm run build` Expected: completes with no errors. - [ ] **Step 2: Verify the team-grid CSS classes are in the built output** Tailwind v4 unwraps CSS-nesting `&__name` into `__name.team-grid`. Use fixed-string search (Windows-safe): Run: `grep -cF "__name.team-grid" static/dist/theme.css` Expected: `1` or more (the rule is in the dist). - [ ] **Step 3: Verify the responsive grid utilities are in the built output** Run: `grep -cF "sm\:grid-cols-2" static/dist/theme.css` Expected: `1` or more. Run: `grep -cF "lg\:grid-cols-3" static/dist/theme.css` Expected: `1` or more. - [ ] **Step 4: Commit the rebuilt dist** ```bash cd "C:/Users/ksolo/Herd/community-works-collaborative/wp-content/themes/community-works-collaborative" git add -f static/dist/theme.css git commit -m "🎨 build: Rebuild dist with team-grid block styles" ``` --- ## Task 7: Playwright Tests **Files:** - Create: `tests/team-page.spec.js` **Interfaces:** - Consumes: The rendered `views/blocks/team-grid/team-grid.php` template (Tasks 3 + 4) on the WordPress page `/team/`. - Produces: Three tests: 1. Photo, name, and title visible for the first card. 2. Bio is closed by default; clicking the summary opens the details and reveals the bio; clicking again closes it. 3. No axe-core a11y violations scoped to `.team-grid`. > **Prerequisite:** the test depends on the Team page being composed in Gutenberg with at least one `Team Grid` block containing one or more members. That composition is the editor's responsibility and is not part of this plan. The tests should be authored against the intended state, not a placeholder state. - [ ] **Step 1: Create the test spec file** Create the file `tests/team-page.spec.js` with the following exact content: ```js import { test, expect } from "@playwright/test"; import AxeBuilder from "@axe-core/playwright"; test.describe("Team Grid block on /team/", () => { test("renders the photo, name, and title for each member", async ({ page }) => { await page.goto("/team/"); const cards = page.locator(".team-grid__card"); await expect(cards.first()).toBeVisible(); const firstCard = cards.first(); await expect(firstCard.locator(".team-grid__photo")).toBeVisible(); await expect(firstCard.locator(".team-grid__name")).toBeVisible(); await expect(firstCard.locator(".team-grid__title")).toBeVisible(); }); test("bio is hidden by default and expands on summary click", async ({ page }) => { await page.goto("/team/"); const firstDetails = page.locator(".team-grid__details").first(); // Bio is closed by default. await expect(firstDetails).not.toHaveAttribute("open", ""); // Click the summary; the details should open and the bio should be visible. await firstDetails.locator(".team-grid__summary").click(); await expect(firstDetails).toHaveAttribute("open", ""); await expect(firstDetails.locator(".team-grid__bio")).toBeVisible(); // Click again; the details should close. await firstDetails.locator(".team-grid__summary").click(); await expect(firstDetails).not.toHaveAttribute("open", ""); }); test("no axe violations on the team-grid block", async ({ page }) => { await page.goto("/team/"); const results = await new AxeBuilder({ page }) .include(".team-grid") .analyze(); expect(results.violations).toEqual([]); }); }); ``` - [ ] **Step 2: Run the tests** Run: `npx playwright test tests/team-page.spec.js` Expected: all 3 tests pass. If tests fail because the Team page has not yet been composed in the editor, that's an expected prerequisite — note the prerequisite in the final report and skip the test run. - [ ] **Step 3: Commit** ```bash cd "C:/Users/ksolo/Herd/community-works-collaborative/wp-content/themes/community-works-collaborative" git add tests/team-page.spec.js git commit -m "✅ test: Add Playwright tests for team-grid block" ``` --- ## Self-Review Notes - **Spec coverage:** - One new ACF block (`team-grid`) — covered by Tasks 1, 2, 3, 4. - Repeater of `members` with `image` / `name` / `title` / `bio` — covered by Task 1. - Responsive grid `grid-cols-1 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3` — covered by Task 4 (PHP) and Task 6 (Tailwind emits the rules). - Rounded-rectangle headshots via `rounded-md` — covered by Task 3 (CSS). - Native `
`/`` click-to-expand — covered by Task 4 (PHP) and Task 3 (CSS). - `grid-template-rows: 0fr → 1fr` animation — covered by Task 3 (CSS). - No built-in background — explicitly out of scope (Section block wrapper, editor's responsibility). - Page template not modified — confirmed; `page.php` is not in any file list. - `header.php` / `footer.php` / page hero not touched — confirmed. - Reuse existing design tokens (`text-cwc-blue-01`, `rounded-md`) — covered by Tasks 1, 3, 4. - Playwright tests covering photo + name + title, summary click toggles, and a11y — covered by Task 7. - Dist rebuild — covered by Task 6. - **Placeholder scan:** No TBDs. Every step has a concrete file path, exact content, exact command, and expected output. The only conditional is in Task 7 Step 2 — explicitly called out as a prerequisite (editor must compose the page in Gutenberg), not a placeholder. - **Type consistency:** ACF field `name: "members"` is used in Task 4 (`get_field( 'members' )`). Sub-field names `image`, `name`, `title`, `bio` are used in Task 1 (defined) and Task 4 (consumed). Class names `team-grid`, `__inner`, `__card`, `__details`, `__summary`, `__photo`, `__name`, `__title`, `__bio-wrap`, `__bio-inner`, `__bio` are used in Task 3 (defined in CSS) and Task 4 (rendered in markup) and Task 7 (asserted in tests) — consistent. - **Ambiguity check:** "Rounded rectangle" is concretely specified as `rounded-md`. "Opens vertically" is concretely specified as `grid-template-rows: 0fr → 1fr` with 300ms transition. "Responsive grid" is concretely specified as `grid-cols-1 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3`. "No built-in background" is concretely scoped to the Section block wrapper (editor's responsibility, not this block's). All are explicit.
