+## ⚠️ MANDATORY: Service URL Detection & Adaptor Gate Flag
+
+**During Stage 1, the agent MUST scan the user prompt for any service URL pattern.**
+
+### Detection Rule
+
+Apply this check to every incoming user prompt:
+
+```
+IF prompt contains a URL pattern (http:// or https://)
+AND prompt does NOT contain any of these exact adaptor keywords:
+  ["OData v4", "ODataV4", "odata/v4", "OData v3", "ODataAdaptor",
+   "Web API", "WebAPI", "ASP.NET API", "Items and Count",
+   "URL adaptor", "UrlAdaptor", "result and count",
+   "GraphQL", "GraphQL endpoint", "mutations",
+   "custom adaptor", "CustomAdaptor", "in-memory", "Entity Framework direct"]
+THEN:
+  → Set dataBindingStatus = "AMBIGUOUS_URL_DETECTED"
+  → Record detectedUrl = {extracted URL}
+  → Append warning to Stage 1 output (see template below)
+  → Stage 3 MUST present the human gate before advancing to Stage 4
+```
+
+### Stage 1 Output Addition (When URL Detected Without Adaptor)
+
+Append this block at the end of the Stage 1 confirmation message:
+
+```
+⚠️ Service URL Detected: {detectedUrl}
+   Adaptor type: UNKNOWN — Human gate approval required at Stage 3.
+   No DataManager code will be generated until the adaptor is confirmed.
+```
+
+### Examples
+
+| Prompt | URL Detected | Adaptor Keyword | Action |
+|--------|-------------|-----------------|--------|
+| `"Build employee app using http://myapi.com/employees"` | ✅ Yes | ❌ None | Flag → gate at Stage 3 |
+| `"Create a grid with OData v4 at https://myserver/odata/orders"` | ✅ Yes | ✅ "OData v4" | No gate — ODataV4Adaptor resolved |
+| `"Make a dashboard with local list data"` | ❌ No | ❌ N/A | No gate — local binding |
+| `"Connect grid to https://myserver/api/employees"` | ✅ Yes | ❌ None | Flag → gate at Stage 3 |
+| `"Use my REST API at http://custom-url/data"` | ✅ Yes | ❌ "REST" is ambiguous | Flag → gate at Stage 3 |

 # Stage 3: Layout Analysis & Component Mapping (Combined)

+**Purpose:** Analyze user requirements, create optimal component-mapping.json, and map to Syncfusion components automatically. **FULLY AUTOMATED — NO user interaction (unless component validation required OR data binding adaptor is ambiguous).**

+## 🛑 MANDATORY DATA BINDING GATE (Runs Before Component Mapping Output)
+
+**This gate MUST be evaluated before completing Stage 3 output.**
+
+### Gate Evaluation Logic
+
+```
+IF Stage 1 flagged dataBindingStatus = "AMBIGUOUS_URL_DETECTED"
+OR the component mapping includes any data-bound component
+   (GridComponent, DropDownListComponent, ComboBoxComponent, ListViewComponent, TreeViewComponent, GanttComponent, PivotViewComponent, etc.)
+   AND a service URL was provided in the user prompt
+   AND no explicit adaptor keyword was identified in Stage 1
+THEN:
+  → Add to Component Mapping JSON:
+      "dataBinding": {
+        "status": "PENDING_HUMAN_GATE",
+        "serviceUrl": "{detectedUrl}",
+        "adaptorDecision": null,
+        "gateRequired": true,
+        "reason": "Service URL present but adaptor type unknown"
+      }
+  → STOP Stage 3 output after the Component Mapping JSON
+  → PRESENT the Human Gate using the template in:
+       skills/syncfusion-react-data-manager/references/adaptor-decision-gate.md
+  → WAIT for user adaptor selection
+  → DO NOT advance to Stage 4 until adaptorDecision is confirmed
+  → Update "dataBinding.adaptorDecision" with confirmed adaptor
+  → Update "dataBinding.status" to "CONFIRMED"
+  → Then resume Stage 3 → Stage 4 flow normally
+```
+
+### Component Mapping JSON — Data Binding Flag Example
+
+When the gate is pending, the component-mapping.json MUST include this flag:
+
+```json
+{
+  "component_type": "Employee Dashboard",
+  "variant": "Standard",
+  "dataBinding": {
+    "status": "PENDING_HUMAN_GATE",
+    "serviceUrl": "http://customurl/api/employees",
+    "adaptorDecision": null,
+    "gateRequired": true,
+    "reason": "Service URL provided but adaptor type (ODataV4 / WebAPI / UrlAdaptor / GraphQL / Custom) cannot be determined without user confirmation"
+  },
+  "mapped_components": [...]
+}
+```
+
+After user confirms:
+
+```json
+{
+  "dataBinding": {
+    "status": "CONFIRMED",
+    "serviceUrl": "http://customurl/api/employees",
+    "adaptorDecision": "WebApiAdaptor",
+    "referenceFile": "web-api-adaptor.md",
+    "gateRequired": false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Gate Presentation
+
+When presenting the gate to the user, use the **exact template** from:
+📄 `skills/syncfusion-react-data-manager/references/adaptor-decision-gate.md`
+→ Section: **"Gate Presentation Template"**
+
+After user confirms → proceed to Stage 4 with the confirmed adaptor recorded in the component-mapping JSON.

 **Purpose:** Generate production-ready React code, CSS, and TypeScript interfaces with accessibility and web standards compliance.
 
+## 🛑 MANDATORY PRE-CHECK: Adaptor Decision Gate Verification
+
+**Before generating ANY `DataManager` or data binding code, verify:**
+
+```
+READ component-mapping.json → check "dataBinding" section
+
+IF dataBinding.status == "PENDING_HUMAN_GATE"
+  → ⛔ STOP — DO NOT generate DataManager code
+  → Return to Stage 3 and present the adaptor gate
+  → Wait for user confirmation before proceeding
+
+IF dataBinding.status == "CONFIRMED"
+  → ✅ Use dataBinding.adaptorDecision as the Adaptor enum value
+  → Load the reference file specified in dataBinding.referenceFile
+  → Generate DataManager with the confirmed adaptor ONLY
+
+IF no remote binding (local data only)
+  → ✅ Proceed — no gate required, use DataManager with Json property
+```
+
+**Example — Confirmed WebApiAdaptor from component-mapping.json:**
+```tsx
+const data = new DataManager({ 
+    url: 'url', // Replace actual port,
+    adaptor: new WebApiAdaptor(),
+});
+<GridComponent dataSource={data} allowPaging="true">
+    {/* columns */}
+</GridComponent>
+```
+
+> **Never hardcode a URL from user input directly into DataManager.Url.** Always assign via a validated private string property.

 **THIS STEP IS NOT OPTIONAL - Must be completed before writing any code**
