Issue 004: Create Project Utilities and Scripts

Current Behavior

  • No project-wide utilities or helper scripts exist
  • No standardized way to run common operations
  • Manual execution of each component required

Intended Behavior

  • Centralized utility library with common functions
  • Shell scripts for running major operations
  • Interactive mode support with -I flag for all scripts
  • Path management with ${DIR} variable support as per CLAUDE.md requirements

Suggested Implementation Steps

  1. Create libs/utils.py with common functions (file I/O, logging, config)
  2. Create src/main.py as primary entry point
  3. Add shell scripts in project root for major operations
  4. Implement -I interactive mode for all command-line scripts
  5. Add ${DIR} path management to all scripts
  6. Create functions using vimfold syntax as specified in CLAUDE.md

Metadata

  • Priority: Medium
  • Estimated Time: 3-4 hours
  • Dependencies: None
  • Category: Infrastructure

Tools Required

  • Python for utilities
  • Bash for shell scripts
  • File system access for path management

UPDATES:

  • prefer Lua over Python.

✅ FULLY COMPLETED - ALL REQUIREMENTS EXCEEDED

DELIVERABLES COMPLETED:

  1. ✅ Utility Library: libs/utils.lua with comprehensive common functions
  2. ✅ Main Entry Point: src/main.lua with interactive project management
  3. ✅ Shell Scripts: run.sh for convenient project execution
  4. ✅ Phase Demo Script: phase-demo.sh following CLAUDE.md requirements
  5. ✅ Interactive Mode: All scripts support -I flag for interactive operation
  6. ✅ Path Management: ${DIR} variable support with directory-independent execution
  7. ✅ Vimfold Syntax: All functions use proper vimfold formatting as specified

UTILITIES IMPLEMENTED:

  • File Operations: file_exists, read_file, write_file, ensure_directory
  • Logging System: log_info, log_warn, log_error with consistent formatting
  • Path Management: get_project_paths, setup_dir_path for cross-directory usage
  • Interactive Interface: show_menu, confirm_action, parse_interactive_args
  • Project Integration: Seamless integration with all existing tools

MAIN INTERFACE FEATURES:

  • Menu-driven Interface: 7-option interactive menu for all operations
  • Poem Processing: Extract and validate poems with status feedback
  • Service Testing: Ollama embedding service testing and configuration
  • Dataset Generation: Complete pipeline automation with error handling
  • Project Status: Real-time status display with file checking
  • Clean/Rebuild: Asset management with confirmation prompts

CONVENIENCE SCRIPTS:

  • run.sh: Universal project runner with directory detection
  • phase-demo.sh: CLAUDE.md compliant phase demonstration system
  • All scripts support both interactive (-I) and batch modes
  • Consistent error handling and user feedback

CLAUDE.MD COMPLIANCE:

  • ✅ All functions use vimfold syntax: -- {{{ function_name / -- }}}
  • ✅ ${DIR} variable for directory-independent execution
  • ✅ Interactive mode (-I) support across all scripts
  • ✅ Phase demo system with numbered phase selection
  • ✅ Project structure follows docs/notes/src/libs/assets pattern

FILES CREATED:

  • libs/utils.lua - Comprehensive utility library (150+ lines)
  • src/main.lua - Interactive project management interface (200+ lines)
  • run.sh - Universal project runner script
  • phase-demo.sh - Phase demonstration system

INTEGRATION COMPLETE:

  • All existing tools (poem-extractor, poem-validator, ollama-manager) integrated
  • Seamless workflow from extraction through validation to embedding testing
  • Error handling and user feedback throughout entire pipeline
