Builder

Note: This entire project has been generated by AI, through an iterative process whereby it constantly improves itself in response to user direction via the prompt.

Overview

The Builder project is a Go program that automates the process of generating and updating code based on user prompts. It leverages the power of AI to generate code and README files, making it easier for developers to iterate on their projects.

Features

Generates code based on user prompts
Overwrites specified files with the generated code
Creates a new Git branch for each code generation iteration
Generates a README.md file describing the purpose and functionality of the main code file
Utilizes the Anthropic API for AI-powered code generation
Handles API errors and retries failed requests
Escapes and unescapes HTML entities in the generated code
Trims unnecessary whitespace and backticks from the generated code

Usage

Set the API_KEY environment variable in a .env file.
Run the program with the --file flag to specify the file path to overwrite with the generated code.
Enter a prompt describing the desired changes or additions to the code.
The program will generate new code based on the prompt and overwrite the specified file.
A new Git branch will be created with the generated code and README.md file.
The changes will be committed to the new branch.

Configuration

API_KEY: The API key for the Anthropic API, set in the .env file.
--file: The file path to overwrite with the generated code (default: ./main.go).

Dependencies

github.com/joho/godotenv: Used for loading environment variables from the .env file.
