# Product Guide: Manual Slop

## Vision
To serve as an expert-level utility for personal developer use on small projects, providing full, manual control over vendor API metrics, agent capabilities, and context memory usage. 

## Primary Use Cases
- **Full Control over Vendor APIs:** Exposing detailed API metrics and configuring deep agent capabilities directly within the GUI.
- **Context & Memory Management:** Better visualization and management of token usage and context memory, allowing developers to optimize prompt limits manually.
- **Manual "Vibe Coding" Assistant:** Serving as an auxiliary, multi-provider assistant that natively interacts with the codebase via sandboxed PowerShell scripts and MCP-like file tools, emphasizing manual developer oversight and explicit confirmation.

## Key Features
- **Multi-Provider Integration:** Supports both Gemini and Anthropic with seamless switching.
- **Explicit Execution Control:** All AI-generated PowerShell scripts require explicit human confirmation via interactive UI dialogs before execution.
- **Detailed History Management:** Rich discussion history with branching, timestamping, and specific git commit linkage per conversation.
- **In-Depth Toolset Access:** MCP-like file exploration, URL fetching, search, and dynamic context aggregation embedded within a multi-viewport Dear PyGui/ImGui interface.
- **Integrated Workspace:** A consolidated Hub-based layout (Context, AI Settings, Discussion, Operations) designed for expert multi-monitor workflows.
- **Session Analysis:** Ability to load and visualize historical session logs with a dedicated tinted "Prior Session" viewing mode.
- **Performance Diagnostics:** Built-in telemetry for FPS, Frame Time, and CPU usage, with a dedicated Diagnostics Panel and AI API hooks for performance analysis.
