Grove Vineyard Skill
When to Activate
Activate this skill when:
-
Creating a /vineyard route for a Grove property
-
Adding features or demos to an existing vineyard page
-
User mentions "vineyard", "showcase page", or "tool demo page"
-
Implementing feature cards, roadmaps, or demo containers for a tool
What Is Vineyard?
Every Grove property implements a /vineyard route on its subdomain — a consistent way to explore what each tool does, see working demos, and understand the roadmap.
amber.grove.place/vineyard → Storage showcase ivy.grove.place/vineyard → Email client showcase foliage.grove.place/vineyard → Theming showcase meadow.grove.place/vineyard → Social layer showcase heartwood.grove.place/vineyard → Auth showcase forage.grove.place/vineyard → Domain discovery showcase
Package
Vineyard lives inside the Lattice monorepo at libs/vineyard and is re-exported through the engine. No separate install needed — it comes with Lattice.
import { VineyardLayout, FeatureCard, StatusBadge, ... } from '@autumnsgrove/lattice/vineyard';

Types

Minimal Implementation
Create src/routes/vineyard/+page.svelte :
<script lang="ts"> import { VineyardLayout, FeatureCard, RoadmapSection, DemoContainer, } from "@autumnsgrove/lattice/vineyard"; </script>
<VineyardLayout tool="amber" tagline="Your files, preserved" status="preview"> <!-- Feature Cards --> <div class="feature-grid"> <FeatureCard title="Storage Overview" description="See usage across posts and media" status="ready" icon="HardDrive" />
<FeatureCard
title="File Browser"
description="Browse and manage uploaded files"
status="ready"
icon="FolderOpen"
/>
<FeatureCard
title="Export Your Data"
description="Download everything in one click"
status="coming-soon"
icon="Download"
/>
</div>
<!-- Roadmap -->
<RoadmapSection
built={["Core storage view", "Usage breakdown", "File browser"]}
inProgress={["Export functionality"]}
planned={["Bulk delete", "Storage alerts", "External backup"]}
/>
</VineyardLayout>
<style> .feature-grid { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(300px, 1fr)); gap: 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 3rem; } </style>
Component Details
VineyardLayout
Handles the full page structure automatically:
-
Hero: Tool name (capitalized from tool prop), tagline, status badge, philosophy quote
-
Content: Renders children in a max-width container with padding
-
Footer: "Works well with" section linking related tools' vineyards
<VineyardLayout tool="ivy" tagline="Messages that grow on you" status="in-development"> <!-- All your content goes here --> </VineyardLayout>
The philosophy quotes and related tool mappings are built-in. No configuration needed.
FeatureCard
Icons are any valid @lucide/svelte icon name as a string:
<FeatureCard title="Theme Picker" description="Choose from curated seasonal themes" status="ready" icon="Palette"
{#snippet demo()}
<!-- Optional: interactive demo renders below the description -->
<ThemePicker themes={sampleThemes} />
{/snippet}
</FeatureCard>
DemoContainer
Wraps interactive demos with a header, description, and optional "Mock Data" indicator:
<DemoContainer title="Email Composer" description="Try the rich text editor" mockData={true}> <RichTextEditor value={sampleDraft} /> </DemoContainer>
When mockData={true} :
-
Shows a blue "Mock Data" pill in the header
-
Adds a dashed blue border around the demo content
CodeExample
Code blocks with copy-to-clipboard and language/filename labels:
<CodeExample language="typescript" filename="src/routes/+layout.svelte"> {`import { initAmber } from '@autumnsgrove/amber';
const storage = initAmber({ tenant: 'my-site', tier: 'sapling' });`} </CodeExample>
TierGate
Shows content only if user meets tier requirement. Otherwise shows blur preview + upgrade prompt:
<TierGate required="oak" current={userTier} showPreview={true}> <AdvancedStoragePanel />
{#snippet fallback()}
<!-- Optional custom fallback (default shows upgrade button) -->
<p>Upgrade to Oak for advanced storage features</p>
{/snippet}
</TierGate>
Tier hierarchy: seedling < sapling < oak < grove
RoadmapSection
Three-column (desktop) / stacked (mobile) timeline:
<RoadmapSection built={["Feature A", "Feature B"]} inProgress={["Feature C"]} planned={["Feature D", "Feature E"]} />
-
Built items get green dots
-
In-progress items get pulsing orange dots
-
Planned items get hollow gray circles
Authentication
<script> import { AuthButton, UserMenu, getSession } from "@autumnsgrove/lattice/vineyard"; import { onMount } from "svelte";
let user = $state(null);
onMount(async () => {
const session = await getSession();
user = session.user;
});
</script>
{#if user} <UserMenu showAvatar={true} showEmail={true} /> {:else} <AuthButton provider="google" signInText="Sign in to explore" /> {/if}
Status Badge Meanings
Status Visual Use When
ready
Green solid pill Feature is complete and stable
preview
Amber dashed border Functional but API may change
demo
Blue solid pill Interactive example, not real data
coming-soon
Gray subtle pill Designed but not built yet
in-development
Orange pulsing pill Actively being built right now
Design System
Vineyard components use Grove's built-in aesthetic:
-
Colors: Amber tones (#f59e0b, #d97706) on stone neutrals
-
Glass: Semi-transparent backgrounds with backdrop-blur
-
Typography: Lexend font (loaded by VineyardLayout)
-
Interactions: Hover lift on cards, smooth transitions
No additional styling framework needed — components are self-contained with scoped CSS.
Content Strategy
For Ready Tools
-
Working demos with real or realistic mock data
-
Complete feature cards with all statuses "ready"
-
Full code examples and API reference
-
Getting started guide
For Preview/In Development Tools
-
Mix of "ready" and "coming-soon" feature cards
-
Demo containers with mockData={true}
-
Roadmap section showing progress
-
TierGate for features not yet available
For Coming Soon Tools
-
Minimal vineyard: VineyardLayout + philosophy + roadmap
-
All feature cards as "coming-soon"
-
No interactive demos needed yet
Grove Terminology
When vineyard pages reference Grove-themed terms (tool names, feature names, user roles), use GroveTerm components to respect the user's Grove Mode setting. New visitors see standard terms by default.
import {(GroveTerm, GroveText)} from '@autumnsgrove/lattice/ui'; import groveTermManifest from '$lib/data/grove-term-manifest.json';
<!-- Use GroveText for data-driven content with [[term]] syntax --> <GroveText content="Manage your [[bloom|posts]] and [[garden|blog]] appearance." manifest={groveTermManifest} />
<!-- Or GroveTerm for individual interactive terms --> <p>Customize how your <GroveTerm term="garden" manifest={groveTermManifest} /> looks.</p>
Checklist
Before shipping a vineyard page:
-
VineyardLayout with correct tool , tagline , and status
-
At least 3 FeatureCard components with appropriate statuses
-
RoadmapSection with honest built/inProgress/planned arrays
-
At least one interactive demo (even with mock data)
-
Works on mobile (feature grid responsive)
-
Icons are valid @lucide/svelte names
-
Status badges accurately reflect feature state
-
Grove terminology uses GroveTerm components (not hardcoded)
