Software Developer for AI-Powered CodeForge Agent

We?re seeking a skilled Software Developer to design and build "CodeForge Agent," an AI-powered application.

This tool will:

• Accept user prompts to generate applications in various programming languages using the Claude 3.7 Sonnet API.

• Troubleshoot errors (syntax, runtime, deployment) by looping back to Claude for fixes.

• Integrate generated code into VS Code for local editing.

• Deploy finished applications to Vercel with a live URL.

• Feature a polished GUI and CLI for seamless user interaction.

This is a fast-paced, high-impact project with an estimated completion time of 1-2 weeks for a skilled developer working full-time.

• Core Development:

• Integrate the Claude 3.7 Sonnet API (Anthropic) to generate multi-file application code from natural language prompts.

• Build a file management system to parse and save Claude?s output into a structured project directory (e.g., app.py, requirements.txt).

• Automate deployment to Vercel via Git and Vercel CLI, returning live URLs.

• Troubleshooting Loop:

• Implement error detection (syntax via linters like flake8, runtime via local execution, deployment via Vercel logs).

• Design an iterative feedback system to send errors back to Claude 3.7 Sonnet, receive fixes, and update code (max 3 retries).

• Ensure robust testing of the loop with simulated errors (e.g., missing imports, syntax issues).

• IDE Integration:

• Script integration with VS Code to open project folders and install dependencies automatically.

• UI/CLI Development:

• Develop a cross-platform GUI (Tkinter or PyQt) with a dark theme, input form, real-time log pane, and action buttons (e.g., ?Generate,? ?Deploy,? ?Edit?).

• Create a CLI interface (e.g., codeforge generate --prompt "X") using click or argparse.

• Polish & Testing:

• Ensure compatibility across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

• Add error handling (e.g., pop-ups for API failures) and user-friendly feedback.

• Write documentation (README) and package the app (e.g., PyInstaller).

• Collaboration:

• Work closely with the project lead to refine requirements and iterate based on feedback.

• Deliver a fully functional prototype within the estimated timeline.

• Duration: 1-2 weeks full-time (~42-58 hours) for a skilled developer.

• Phases:

1. Core Functionality (12-16 hours): API integration, code generation, VS Code, Vercel deployment.

2. Troubleshooting Loop (10-14 hours): Error detection, Claude feedback, iterative fixes.

3. UI/CLI Build (8-12 hours): GUI with dark theme, CLI interface.

4. Polish & Testing (12-16 hours): Cross-platform tests, docs, packaging.

• Deliverables:

• Fully functional "CodeForge Agent" executable or script.

• Source code with inline comments.

• README with setup instructions and usage examples.

• Deployed sample app (e.g., Flask CRUD API) as proof of concept.
