Slice 02: Identity, Infrastructure, and the Road to Trello

Journey

Clankies grew up this week. What started as a functional but nameless prototype — running under the old “MiniOns” codebase — now has its own identity, a production-grade deployment pipeline, and the architectural foundation for its first major integration.

Three parallel workstreams defined this slice:

Branding: A full visual identity — 20 custom SVG avatars, a new logo icon, project-wide rename to “Clankies”, and a custom Hugo blog theme.
Infrastructure: A hardened deploy pipeline with CI/CD for both production and staging environments, fixing subtle but painful bugs in the deploy script that caused port conflicts and test failures.
Architecture: The design and backend implementation of a Trello Power-Up integration — ADR-004, API client, webhook processor, and full behaviour module — turning Clankies agents into Trello-aware workers.

Let’s dive into each.
