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.
