How's it work? From briefly glancing through, looks like the first step ("metadata") is to upload all of the code to Claude on a per-file basis and ask it to summarize the "contents or purpose". Is there some automatic selection of metadata, or does it only pull in metadata that the user specifically requests? The "dev server monitor" appears to be the killer feature in your project. So it runs a command, monitors the logs for errors, and attempts to fix them automatically. That's fun! How effective is it? Do you have any way to advise the agent while it's working? Example: it detects an error and starts working and I write a message to it "this happened when I uploaded an image on a brand new user account", which it then uses to inform its plan? More off topic, I love the prevalence of this kind of project. It only takes a week or two to build yourself a coding assistant for personal use tying into these LLMs, and the results can be quite impressive. It all feels very cyberpunk to me. |

Metadata: For a fresh project that is initiated by this tool, it creates a base metadata file (drd.json in this case) and updates as and when there is new changes. For a new project, you can run a command `drd --i` which would initialise a metadata based on recursively checking each file content (multiple LLM calls).
Once the metadata file is created, for the subsequent questions it referes metdadata file for the releveant files and loads those file's content into context. For eg, i ask "can you refactor query's main", it would look for "src/query/main.py" and load the content into the context and then respond.
"dev server monitor": I have tried with scenarios when the module doesn't exists, and it installs and rewrites the modules, type error it fixes. It does all the fix each time and does the restart. I may be biased, it seems to work most of the times I tried. Even during the time if its fix is not correct, it gets it in the next attempt. Need to test in more scenarios.
Actually the main command if you try "drd 'create a sample elixir proj'" it will run into error coz elixir doesn't exist and it will try to install and recursively heal until it figures out similar to restart. I thought this is a great usecase, and I have been using this to create some other python projects. Thanks for pointing out "dev server monitor" could be a killer feature!!
Btw, this is tweet thread with videos attached for each example https://x.com/vysakh0/status/1811790449016779261
