- I've collected multiple answers from various AI models in response this query: - Let's collaborate on building a comprehensive, step-by-step prompt guide for software development using an AI coding tool.  This guide will outline how to use prompts effectively to direct the AI in creating software with the specific features we'll define.  Since this is a potentially complex process, we can take as many steps and messages as needed to ensure clarity and completeness.  
- I'm working on a Windows 11 PC and want to create software using Visual Studio Code. 
- The software's main purpose is to function as a personal tool for my home services. It is not intended for commercial use. 
- The software should access and utilize **free and open-source tools, libraries, and APIs**. This could be achieved by:
    - Providing the AI with a list of relevant APIs and libraries along with their documentation.
    - Allowing the AI to access and query online repositories like **GitHub** to find suitable open-source code snippets and libraries.
    The project: # AI Software Creator

#### Key Components
Our AI software consists of two main parts:

1. **AI Chat Interface**: This conversational interface allows users to interact with the AI using natural language, inputting requests, instructions, or questions. The AI processes these inputs to generate code snippets or provide explanations.
2. **Multi-Tab Interface**: This interface provides a visually organized project space with three tabs:
   - **Code Generation**: Observe the AI generating code in real-time, providing transparency into the development process.
   - **File Explorer**: A standard file system displaying the project's files and folders created by the AI, allowing easy navigation and access.
   - **Software Preview**: A live preview of the developing software, enabling immediate feedback on UI elements and functionality.

#### Core Functionality
The AI can create files and folders directly on the user's computer in a designated location. By leveraging its knowledge of programming languages and best practices, it generates clean, efficient, and functional code. Additionally, the AI can access a GitHub repository to create and manage projects.

#### Underlying Technologies
This AI software combines natural language processing, machine learning, and coding expertise to automate and accelerate software development. Users can focus on high-level design and logic while the AI handles technical implementation details.

#### Integration with Open-Source Services
To harness the power of open-source, the AI assistant integrates with free and open-source services, APIs, tools, and resources. This includes incorporating services from GitHub repositories, Hugging Face's datasets and models, LMStudio, Ollama, and other future open-source additions.


- I'd like you to evaluate and rank these answers from best to worst, considering their pros and cons. Below are the answers provided by the AI models: 

**==Phi-3 Medium 128K Instruct==**

**Step 1: Define Core Functionality**
We'll discuss and concretely define the core functions of the tool you want to build. Please provide more details on the specific features and services your tool will offer so I can start drafting the prompts to guide the AI. 

**Step 2: Gather Required Resources**
Give the AI a list of relevant APIs, libraries, and other resources that it can use to develop the tool. If you don't have this list on hand, we can start brainstorming on what can be useful for a home services tool.

**Step 3: Set Up Project on GitHub**
To organize the project, create a GitHub repository where the AI can access and manage the project files. Here's a sample prompt to get the AI to set up a repository:

```
Assistant, create a new GitHub repository for my personal home services tool.
```

**Step 4: Implement AI Chat Interface**
We'll use the AI to generate the code for a conversational interface where users can input requests, instructions, or questions. Below is a command you can use to get the AI to start working on this:

```
Who can help me build a conversational interface for my home services tool with API integration?
```

**Step 5: Build Multi-Tab Interface**
For the multi-tab interface, we'll get the AI to generate code for each tab: Code Generation, File Explorer, and Software Preview. Use prompts like:

- For Code Generation: `AI, I need you to generate real-time code for my personal home services tool, transparently.`
- For File Explorer: `AI, can you help me build a file explorer for my personal home services tool that can navigate through the generated files and folders?`
- For Software Preview: `AI, I'd like you to build a real-time software preview tab in my personal home services tool, which allows me to see the live UI elements and functionality.`

**Step 6: Integrate with Open Source Services**
Enable the AI to integrate open-source services into the tool. Use prompts like these:

- To search for services: `AI, search for open-source APIs, libraries, and tools for home services.`
- To plan integration: `AI, suggest ways to incorporate the discovered open-source services into my home services tool.`

**Step 7: Finalize and Test the Tool**
Lastly, direct the AI to review and test the complete tool, ensuring all functions work as intended. Use prompts like this to guide the AI through the testing phase:

```
AI, test all the functionalities on my home services tool and identify any issues.
```

            // Remove active class from all links
            tabLinks.forEach(item => item.classList.remove('active'));
            // Hide all tab panes
            tabPanes.forEach(pane => pane.classList.remove('active'));

            // Add active class to clicked link
            link.classList.add('active');
            // Show corresponding tab pane
            const target = link.getAttribute('data-tab');
            document.getElementById(target).classList.add('active');
        });
    });
});
```

## **Step 5: Implementing Core Functionality**

### **5.1. File and Folder Management**

**Prompt to AI:**

```
Develop JavaScript functions to create, read, update, and delete files and folders within a designated project directory on the user's computer. Ensure the functions handle errors gracefully.
```

**Expected AI Response:**

**JavaScript (`fileManager.js`):**

```javascript
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

const projectDirectory = path.join(__dirname, '..', '..', 'AI-Software-Creator');

function createFile(filePath, content = '') {
    const fullPath = path.join(projectDirectory, filePath);
    fs.writeFile(fullPath, content, (err) => {
        if (err) {
            console.error(`Error creating file ${filePath}:`, err);
        } else {
            console.log(`File ${filePath} created successfully.`);
        }
    });
}

function readFile(filePath) {
    const fullPath = path.join(projectDirectory, filePath);
    fs.readFile(fullPath, 'utf8', (err, data) => {
        if (err) {
            console.error(`Error reading file ${filePath}:`, err);
            return null;
        }
        return data;
    });
}

function updateFile(filePath, newContent) {
    const fullPath = path.join(projectDirectory, filePath);
    fs.writeFile(fullPath, newContent, (err) => {
        if (err) {
            console.error(`Error updating file ${filePath}:`, err);
        } else {
            console.log(`File ${filePath} updated successfully.`);
        }
    });
}

function deleteFile(filePath) {
    const fullPath = path.join(projectDirectory, filePath);
    fs.unlink(fullPath, (err) => {
        if (err) {
            console.error(`Error deleting file ${filePath}:`, err);
        } else {
            console.log(`File ${filePath} deleted successfully.`);
        }
    });
}

function createFolder(folderPath) {
    const fullPath = path.join(projectDirectory, folderPath);
    fs.mkdir(fullPath, { recursive: true }, (err) => {
        if (err) {
            console.error(`Error creating folder ${folderPath}:`, err);
        } else {
            console.log(`Folder ${folderPath} created successfully.`);
        }
    });
}

function deleteFolder(folderPath) {
    const fullPath = path.join(projectDirectory, folderPath);
    fs.rmdir(fullPath, { recursive: true }, (err) => {
        if (err) {
            console.error(`Error deleting folder ${folderPath}:`, err);
        } else {
            console.log(`Folder ${folderPath} deleted successfully.`);
        }
    });
}

module.exports = {
    createFile,
    readFile,
    updateFile,
    deleteFile,
    createFolder,
    deleteFolder
};
```

**Note:** Ensure that Node.js has the necessary permissions to perform file operations on the user's system. Also, consider adding synchronous versions of these functions or using Promises for better error handling and flow control.

### **5.2. GitHub Integration**

**Prompt to AI:**

```
Create a JavaScript module to interact with the GitHub API for creating, updating, and managing repositories and projects. Include authentication using a personal access token.
```

**Expected AI Response:**

**JavaScript (`githubIntegration.js`):**

```javascript
const axios = require('axios');

const GITHUB_API_BASE = 'https://api.github.com';
const TOKEN = process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN; // Ensure to set your GitHub Token in environment variables

const axiosInstance = axios.create({
    baseURL: GITHUB_API_BASE,
    headers: {
        'Authorization': `token ${TOKEN}`,
        'Accept': 'application/vnd.github.v3+json'
    }
});

async function createRepository(repoName, description = '', isPrivate = true) {
    try {
        const response = await axiosInstance.post('/user/repos', {
            name: repoName,
            description: description,
            private: isPrivate
        });
        console.log(`Repository ${repoName} created successfully.`);
        return response.data;
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error creating repository:', error.response.data);

const axios = require('axios');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const cors = require('cors');

const app = express();
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 5000;

app.use(cors());
app.use(bodyParser.json());

app.post('/api/chat', async (req, res) => {
    const userMessage = req.body.message;

    if (!userMessage) {
        return res.status(400).json({ error: 'Message is required.' });
    }

    try {
        const response = await axios.post(
            'https://api.openai.com/v1/completions',
            {
                model: 'text-davinci-003',

            {
                headers: {
                    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY}`,
                },
            }
        );

        const aiMessage = response.data.choices[0].text.trim();
        res.json({ reply: aiMessage });
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error communicating with OpenAI API:', error.response ? error.response.data : error.message);
        res.status(500).json({ error: 'An error occurred while processing your request.' });
    }
});

app.listen(PORT, () => {
    console.log(`Server is running on port ${PORT}`);
});
```

**Note:** Ensure you have a `.env` file with `OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key`.

#### **7.2.2. Multi-Tab Interface - Code Generation Tab**

- Ensure the UI remains responsive during code updates.
```

**Expected AI Response:**

**JavaScript (`codeGeneration.js`):**

```javascript
async function fetchGeneratedCode() {
    try {
        const response = await fetch('/api/generated-code');
        if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error('Network response was not ok');
        }
        const data = await response.json();
        displayCode(data.code);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error fetching generated code:', error);
    }
}

function displayCode(code) {
    const codeDisplay = document.getElementById('codeDisplay');
    codeDisplay.textContent = code;
    // Optionally, integrate a syntax highlighter like Highlight.js
    hljs.highlightBlock(codeDisplay);
}

// Poll the server for new code every 5 seconds
setInterval(fetchGeneratedCode, 5000);
```

**Note:** Ensure that the backend has an endpoint `/api/generated-code` that returns the latest generated code.

#### **7.2.3. File Explorer Tab**

- Allow users to expand and collapse folders.
- Implement click events to open files in the editor.
Constraints:
- Use efficient DOM manipulation to handle large directories.
- Provide visual indicators for folders and files.
```

**Expected AI Response:**

**JavaScript (`fileExplorer.js`):**

```javascript
async function fetchDirectoryStructure() {
    try {
        const response = await fetch('/api/file-explorer');
        if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error('Network response was not ok');
        }
        const directory = await response.json();
        renderDirectory(directory, document.getElementById('fileList'));
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error fetching directory structure:', error);
    }
}

function renderDirectory(node, parentElement) {
    const li = document.createElement('li');
    const span = document.createElement('span');
    
    span.textContent = node.name;
    span.classList.add(node.type === 'folder' ? 'folder' : 'file');

    if (node.type === 'folder' && node.children) {
        span.classList.add('collapsible');
        span.addEventListener('click', () => {
            span.parentElement.querySelector('ul').classList.toggle('active');
            span.classList.toggle('active');
        });

        li.appendChild(span);

        const ul = document.createElement('ul');
        ul.classList.add('nested');
        node.children.forEach(child => renderDirectory(child, ul));
        li.appendChild(ul);
    } else {
        li.appendChild(span);
        span.addEventListener('click', () => openFile(node.path));
    }

    parentElement.appendChild(li);
}

function openFile(filePath) {
    // Implement file opening logic, e.g., sending a request to the backend to retrieve file content
    console.log(`Opening file: ${filePath}`);
}

// Initial fetch
fetchDirectoryStructure();
```

**CSS Additions (`main.css`):**

```css
.folder::before {
    content: "📁 ";
}

.file::before {
    content: "📄 ";
}

.collapsible {
    cursor: pointer;
}

.nested {
    display: none;
    list-style-type: none;
    padding-left: 20px;
}

.nested.active {
    display: block;
}
```

**Note:** Ensure the backend provides an endpoint `/api/file-explorer` that returns the directory structure in a JSON format, for example:

```json
{
    "name": "AI-Software-Creator",
    "type": "folder",
    "children": [
        {
            "name": "src",
            "type": "folder",
            "children": [
                {
                    "name": "aiChatInterface",
                    "type": "folder",
                    "children": [
                        {
                            "name": "index.js",
                            "type": "file",
                            "path": "src/aiChatInterface/index.js"
                        },
                        ...
                    ]
                },
                ...
            ]
        },
        ...
    ]
}
```

### **7.2.4. Software Preview Tab**

**Prompt:**

```
Objective: Implement the Software Preview tab to display a live preview of the developing software's UI and functionality.
Context: The Software Preview provides immediate feedback on UI elements and functionalities being developed.
Requirements:
- Embed the running application within an iframe.
- Automatically refresh the preview when code changes are detected.
- Ensure secure access and prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
Constraints:
- Use a development server that serves the application for preview purposes.
- Handle CORS policies appropriately.
```

**Expected AI Response:**

**JavaScript (`softwarePreview.js`):**

```javascript
let previewFrame = document.getElementById('previewFrame');

function loadPreview() {
    previewFrame.src = 'http://localhost:3000'; // Assuming the frontend runs on port 3000
}

// Initially load the preview
loadPreview();

// Optionally, implement auto-reload when changes are detected
const eventSource = new EventSource('/api/preview-updates');

eventSource.onmessage = function(event) {
    if (event.data === 'reload') {
        loadPreview();
    }
};
```

**Backend Implementation (Optional):**

- Implement WebSocket or Server-Sent Events (SSE) to notify the frontend of changes.
- For example, using Express and SSE:
    
    ```javascript
    app.get('/api/preview-updates', (req, res) => {
        res.set({
            'Content-Type': 'text/event-stream',
            'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
            'Connection': 'keep-alive',
        });
        res.flushHeaders();
    
        // Function to send a reload message
        const sendReload = () => {
            res.write(`data: reload\n\n`);
        };
    
        // Watch for file changes using fs.watch or a library like chokidar
        const chokidar = require('chokidar');
        const watcher = chokidar.watch(projectDirectory, { ignoreInitial: true });
    
        watcher.on('change', sendReload);
        watcher.on('add', sendReload);
        watcher.on('unlink', sendReload);
    
        req.on('close', () => {
            watcher.close();
        });
    });
    ```
    

**Security Considerations:**

- Ensure that the preview server only serves the intended application.
- Sanitize any data being displayed within the iframe to prevent XSS.

        expect(typeof response.body.reply).toBe('string');
    });

    it('should return 400 if message is missing', async () => {
        const response = await request(server)
            .post('/api/chat')
            .send({})
            .expect(400);

        expect(response.body).toHaveProperty('error', 'Message is required.');
    });
});
```

**Test for File Explorer (`fileExplorer.test.js`):**

```javascript
const { getDirectoryStructure } = require('../fileManager'); // Adjust the path as necessary

describe('getDirectoryStructure', () => {
    it('should return the correct directory structure', () => {
        const mockDir = {
            name: 'AI-Software-Creator',
            type: 'folder',

                    children: [
                        {
                            name: 'aiChatInterface',
                            type: 'folder',
                            children: [
                                { name: 'index.js', type: 'file', path: 'src/aiChatInterface/index.js' },
                                { name: 'chatInterface.html', type: 'file', path: 'src/aiChatInterface/chatInterface.html' },
                            ],
                        },
                        // ... other folders and files
                    ],
                },
                // ... other top-level folders and files
            ],
        };

        // Mock the file system or use a testing library like mock-fs
        // For simplicity, assume getDirectoryStructure returns mockDir
        const directory = getDirectoryStructure();
        expect(directory).toEqual(mockDir);
    });
});
