Zebra Skimmers · Redesign Plan

Phase 1 deliverables — index

Every page, schema, and settings spec for the Phase 1 redesign. Hub for the working set — the main plan lives at zebra-redesign-plan.pages.dev; this index links to the deeper, working docs that fill in the details. Each doc links back here and to its siblings via the nav strip at the top.

Data layer — what the merchant maintains

Mock R · Metaobjects & metafields
HTML

The Phase 1 data layer — full reference

All ten metaobject types specified with field tables, example entries, bindings, and notes — plus the complete metafield binding reference grouped by owner (product, variant, collection, article, shop) and GraphQL mutations for creating the whole data layer in one script run. Replaces the earlier two markdown schema docs and consolidates the four newly-identified metaobjects (product_video, faq_item, glossary_term, distributor) with the original six.

Includes:10 metaobject types · 25+ metafield bindings · GraphQL metaobjectDefinitionCreate + metafieldDefinitionCreate patterns · 3-stage wire-up sequence · entry count projections (~2,500 total)
Data → Design mapping
HTML

Coverage matrix — every page, every data source

Maps every UI element on every Mock to the exact metafield, metaobject, or Shopify primitive that feeds it. Six-cluster data overview, full coverage matrix (17 data sources × 14 pages), and per-page schematic diagrams showing data flow. The audit doc — if a page can't be built, this surfaces why.

Includes:6 data clusters · coverage matrix · 14 per-page data maps · 5-marker legend (specified / shop setting / future metaobject / native / hardcoded)
Phase 1 schemas (legacy)
MD

Original schema spec

Initial markdown specification of product_document, product_relationship, ai_policy, and ai_crawler_policy. Content is now consolidated into Mock R — kept here for textual back-up.

Superseded by:Mock R
Spec data layer (legacy)
MD

Spec rows & groups · migration plan

Initial markdown specification of product_spec_group and product_spec_row, plus the migration plan from prose-spec descriptions to structured rows (~12 hours of human review for 120 products). Content now consolidated into Mock R.

Components — what we'll build

Mock S · Component plan
HTML

Skeleton · Horizon · manufacturing-new

The full component inventory across the fourteen page mocks, classified by source — twelve Skeleton components used as-is, eight Horizon-referenced patterns rebuilt in Skeleton, nineteen manufacturing-new builds (spec table, document list, compare, compatibility matrix, FYF wizard, sticky page nav, quote form, volume pricing, video gallery, product resources block, predictive search, plus eight others). The high-priority eleven get detail cards with data dependencies, variants, events, and notes. Plus the web-component naming convention, the design-token contract every component reads, a page × component matrix, and a six-stage build sequence.

Includes:~39 components across 3 source columns · 11 detail cards · design token contract (color · type · space · border) · page × component matrix (39 rows × 15 cols) · 6-stage build sequence with weekly scoping
Mock T · Product Resources Library
HTML

Every video, every document, by product family

Visual page mockup of the new /pages/resources library. Lives under Support alongside parts-by-model, install hub, warranty, contact. Hero with scoped search, sticky filter rail (product family · resource type · audience · language), sticky family sidebar with scroll-spy, and per-product blocks that pair the videos gallery with the documents list in a single panel. Uses the <product-resources> component spec'd in Mock S, populated by the product_video and product_document metaobjects from Mock R — no new data layer required.

Includes:full site chrome (header · breadcrumb · footer) · hero with scoped search and stats line · sticky filter rail with four facet groups · sidebar "on this page" nav with scroll-spy · 4 product families (2 fully fleshed, 2 compact) · 6 product blocks with real video+doc content · responsive layout to 600px

Component library — interactive playgrounds

Mock U · Component Library
HTML

The hub sixteen components in six categories

The component library hub. Sixteen components organized into six categories — containers (Section, Flexible Columns, Flexible Rows), typography (Headings, Text, Image), composite (Hero, Tabs, Collapsible), forms (Form, Buttons), product (Rating, Price), and navigation (Nav, Search, Filters). Each card declares its type (section · block · snippet, sometimes multi-typed) and links to its playground when built. Explains the playground pattern, the three Shopify component types, and the build order.

Includes:three-type definition (section · block · snippet) · playground pattern explainer with mock layout · 16 component cards organized by 6 categories · live/wip/planned status pills · build-order table with dependency rationale
Mock U-01 · Section component
HTML

The primary container, fully interactive

The first live component playground. Section is the primary top-level container. Twelve settings organized in four collapsible groups (Layout · Appearance · Heading · Advanced). Live preview updates as settings change. Background scheme swatches, padding radio strips, container width selector, top/bottom border options, kicker + heading + intro fields, alignment, heading size, anchor ID. Outputs schema JSON, rendered HTML, and the complete sections/section.liquid file — all with copy-to-clipboard. Viewport toggle for desktop/tablet/mobile preview.

Includes:fully working interactive editor with 12 settings · live preview with 5 background schemes · 5 padding sizes top/bottom · 4 widths · 4 border styles · 5 heading sizes · 3 alignments · realtime schema JSON output · rendered HTML output · complete Liquid file output · copy buttons on all three outputs · viewport toggle (desktop/tablet/mobile) · reset button
