# ClaudeDo

A desktop task management app that executes tasks autonomously via Claude CLI in isolated git worktrees.

## Architecture

Two-process system communicating over SignalR (`127.0.0.1:47821`):

- **ClaudeDo.App** — Avalonia desktop entry point, DI container setup
- **ClaudeDo.Ui** — Views, ViewModels, SignalR client (MVVM with CommunityToolkit.Mvvm)
- **ClaudeDo.Data** — SQLite data layer, repositories, models, GitService
- **ClaudeDo.Worker** — ASP.NET Core hosted service, task queue, Claude CLI runner
- **ClaudeDo.Localization** — `locales/en.json` + `locales/de.json` and the lookup service
- **ClaudeDo.Installer** — WPF (`UseWPF`) setup app; install/update/uninstall step pipeline
- **tests/** — six xUnit projects (Worker, Data, Ui, Localization, Installer, Releases); Worker.Tests run real SQLite and real git

Each project has its own `CLAUDE.md` — those are the living per-project docs.

## Tech Stack

- .NET 8.0, Avalonia 12.0.0 (Fluent theme)
- SQLite (WAL mode) via Entity Framework Core (Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite)
- SignalR for real-time IPC
- CommunityToolkit.Mvvm (`[ObservableProperty]`, `[RelayCommand]`)
- Git worktrees for task isolation

## Key Paths

- DB: `~/.todo-app/todo.db`
- UI config: `~/.todo-app/ui.config.json`
- Worker config: `~/.todo-app/worker.config.json`
- Logs: `~/.todo-app/logs/`
- Worktrees: configured per worker (sibling or central strategy)

## Conventions

- Repository pattern — each entity has its own async repository
- All data operations are async with CancellationToken support
- EF Core migrations manage schema (Migrations/ folder in ClaudeDo.Data)
- `IDbContextFactory<ClaudeDoDbContext>` used by singleton consumers (e.g. Worker)
- Entity configuration via `IEntityTypeConfiguration<T>` in Configuration/ folder
- Task status flow: Idle | Queued -> Running -> WaitingForReview -> Done | Failed | Cancelled. A task that spawns/has children passes through WaitingForChildren first, then surfaces for review once every child is terminal — this is the single parent model for both planning and improvement parents (planning/improvement *children* themselves go straight to Done, only the parent is reviewed). From review you can approve, reject-rerun (Queued, resumes the session with feedback), reject-park (Idle), or cancel. Approve is the single review+merge action: a childless task merges its own worktree then Done (conflicts keep it in WaitingForReview); a task with children drives the unit merge (parent worktree if any + each Done child in order, with conflict continue/abort). Tasks with no active worktree (sandbox run) approve straight to Done.
- Worktree state flow: Active -> Merged | Discarded | Kept
- The queue picker claims tasks by `Status=Queued` (with `BlockedByTaskId IS NULL`); the legacy tag system was removed
- Interfaces live in an `Interfaces/` subfolder beside their consumers (namespace unchanged)
- Small single-consumer helper types live in their consumer's file, not standalone files
- Commit messages use conventional format: `{commitType}(slug): title`
- Views use compiled bindings (`x:DataType`)
- ViewModels use `[ObservableProperty]` and `[RelayCommand]` source generators

## Working style (autonomous)

For any non-trivial feature, bug, or change, run this loop without hand-holding:

1. **Brainstorm first** (superpowers:brainstorming) — ask clarifying questions one at a time, propose 2–3 options with a recommendation, present a short design, get approval before building.
2. **Write it down** — a spec in `docs/superpowers/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md` and a step-by-step plan in `docs/superpowers/plans/` (superpowers:writing-plans). Commit the docs.
3. **Implement on main** with superpowers:subagent-driven-development — one subagent per task, TDD, build + test, commit per task with Conventional Commits. Once the plan is approved, do NOT pause for re-approval between tasks; only stop for genuine decisions or blockers.
4. **Trust but verify** — read each subagent's diff and run the build/tests yourself before marking a task done.
5. **Bugs** → superpowers:systematic-debugging (find the root cause before any fix).
6. **Never claim UI works without running it** — explicitly flag visual-verification gaps for the user to check.

Commit freely (per task + the spec/plan docs). Never push without asking.

## Building & Testing

`dotnet build ClaudeDo.slnx` requires .NET 9; on .NET 8 build individual projects with `-c Release` (a running Worker locks the `Debug` output).

```bash
dotnet build src/ClaudeDo.App/ClaudeDo.App.csproj -c Release      # pulls in Ui + Data
dotnet build src/ClaudeDo.Worker/ClaudeDo.Worker.csproj -c Release
dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests.csproj -c Release   # also: Data.Tests, Ui.Tests, Localization.Tests, Installer.Tests, Releases.Tests
```

### Gotchas
- **Subagents:** use the `sonnet` model; stage files explicitly by path — never `git add -A` (parallel sessions often leave unrelated WIP in the tree).
- **Icons:** `PathIcon` *fills* its geometry. Line-art/stroke icons must be authored as filled geometry, or rendered with a stroked `Path` — otherwise they render invisible.
- **Localization:** `locales/en.json` and `locales/de.json` keys must stay in parity (Localization.Tests enforces it).
- **Test fakes:** changing `IWorkerClient` / `WorkerHub` / ViewModel constructors breaks hand-rolled fakes in both test projects — update them.

## Docs

- `docs/open.md` — open verification items and remaining code TODOs (the only doc kept current besides the CLAUDE.md files)
- `docs/plan.md` — original design spec (historical; tag-queue/schema.sql parts are outdated)
- `docs/improvement-plan.md` — improvement snapshot from 2026-04-13 (historical)
- `docs/prompts-inventory.md`, `docs/mailbox-proposal.md` — reference material (mailbox integration is parked)
- `CHANGELOG.md` — Keep a Changelog format, maintained on release
