## 🔧 Implementation Status ## 🎯 Quick Start
This repository currently provides: ### Using the Bash Script (Recommended)
- ✅ Complete prompt template for AI interaction ```bash
- ✅ Historic prompt database with 60 example prompts # Make the script executable
- ✅ Environment configuration template chmod +x run.sh
- ✅ Comprehensive documentation
**To complete the implementation**, you need to: # Generate prompts (default)
1. Create a Python script (see example above) ./run.sh
2. Add API key parsing and AI client initialization
3. Implement prompt parsing and history management
4. Add error handling and user interface
The example Python code in the "Getting Started" section provides a complete starting point. # Interactive mode with rich interface
./run.sh --interactive
# Simple version without rich dependency
./run.sh --simple
# Show statistics
./run.sh --stats
# Show help
./run.sh --help
```
### Using Python Directly
```bash
# First, activate your virtual environment (if using one)
# On Linux/macOS:
# source venv/bin/activate
# On Windows:
# venv\Scripts\activate
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Generate prompts (default)
python generate_prompts.py
# Interactive mode
python generate_prompts.py --interactive
# Show statistics
python generate_prompts.py --stats
# Simple version (no rich dependency needed)
python simple_generate.py
```
### Testing Your Setup
```bash
# Run the test suite
python test_project.py
