# Manual Slop
|
||||
|
||||
Vibe coding.. but more manual
|
||||
An AI coding assistant interface featuring multi-project management, rich discussion history, dynamic tool utilization, and a robust frontend.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This tool is designed to work as an auxiliary assistant that natively interacts with your codebase via PowerShell and MCP-like file tools, supporting both Anthropic and Gemini APIs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
Features:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Make a credentials.toml in the immediate directory of your clone:
|
||||
* Multi-provider support (Anthropic & Gemini).
|
||||
* Multi-project workspace management via TOML configuration.
|
||||
* Rich discussion history with branching and timestamps.
|
||||
* Real-time file context aggregation and summarization.
|
||||
* Integrated tool execution:
|
||||
* PowerShell scripting for file modifications.
|
||||
* MCP-like filesystem tools (read, list, search, summarize).
|
||||
* Web search and URL fetching.
|
||||
* Extensive UI features:
|
||||
* Word-wrap toggles.
|
||||
* Popup text viewers for large script/output inspection.
|
||||
* Color theming and UI scaling.
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[gemini]
|
||||
api_key = "****"
|
||||
[anthropic]
|
||||
api_key = "****"
|
||||
```
|

# Manual Slop
|
||||
|
||||
A GUI orchestrator for local LLM-driven coding sessions, built to prevent the AI from running wild and to provide total transparency into the context and execution state.
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Management Panels
|
||||
|
||||
### Projects Panel
|
||||
The heart of context management.
|
||||
- **Configuration:** You specify the Git Directory (for commit tracking) and a Main Context File (the markdown file containing your project's notes and schema).
|
||||
- **Word-Wrap Toggle:** Dynamically swaps text rendering in large read-only panels (Responses, Comms Log) between unwrapped (ideal for viewing precise code formatting) and wrapped (ideal for prose).
|
||||
- **Project Switching:** Switch between different <project>.toml profiles to instantly swap out your entire active file list, discussion history, and settings.
|
||||
|
||||
### Discussion History
|
||||
Manages your conversational branches, preventing context poisoning across different tasks.
|
||||
- **Discussions Sub-Menu:** Allows you to create separate timelines for different tasks (e.g., "Refactoring Auth" vs. "Adding API Endpoints").
|
||||
- **Git Commit Tracking:** Clicking "Update Commit" reads HEAD from your project's git directory and stamps the discussion.
|
||||
- **Entry Management:** Each turn has a Role (User, AI, System). You can toggle entries between **Read** and **Edit** modes, collapse them, or hit [+ Max] to open them in the Global Text Viewer.
|
||||
- **Auto-Add:** If toggled, anything sent from the "Message" panel and returned to the "Response" panel is automatically appended to the current discussion history.
|
||||
|
||||
### Files & Screenshots
|
||||
Controls what is explicitly fed into the context compiler.
|
||||
- **Base Dir:** Defines the root for path resolution and tool constraints.
|
||||
- **Paths:** Explicit files or wildcard globs (e.g., src/**/*.rs).
|
||||
- When generating a request, these files are summarized symbolically (summarize.py) to conserve tokens, unless the AI explicitly decides to read their full contents via its internal tools.
|
||||
|
||||
## Interaction Panels
|
||||
|
||||
### Provider
|
||||
Switch between API backends (Gemini, Anthropic) on the fly. Clicking "Fetch Models" queries the active provider for the latest model list.
|
||||
|
||||
### Message & Response
|
||||
- **Message:** Your input field.
|
||||
- **Gen + Send:** Compiles the markdown context and dispatches the background thread to the AI.
|
||||
- **MD Only:** Dry-runs the compiler so you can inspect the generated <project>_00N.md without triggering an API charge.
|
||||
- **Response:** The read-only output. Flashes green when a new response arrives.
|
||||
|
||||
### Global Text Viewer & Script Outputs
|
||||
- **Last Script Output:** Whenever the AI executes a background script, this window pops up, flashing blue. It contains both the executed script and the stdout/stderr.
|
||||
- **Text Viewer:** A large, resizable global popup invoked anytime you click a [+] or [+ Maximize] button in the UI. Used for deep-reading long logs, discussion entries, or script bodies.
|
||||
|
||||
## System Prompts
|
||||
Provides two text inputs for overriding default instructions:
|
||||
1. **Global:** Applied across every project you load.
|
||||
2. **Project:** Specific to the active workspace.
|
||||
These are concatenated onto the strict tool-usage guidelines the agent is initialized with.

# Guide: Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
Overview of the package design, state management, and code-path layout.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose of this software is to alleviate the pain points of using AI as a local co-pilot by encapsulating the workflow into a resilient, strictly controlled state machine. It manages context generation, API throttling, human-in-the-loop tool execution, and session-long logging.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two primary state boundaries used:
|
||||
|
||||
* The GUI State (Main Thread, Retained-Mode via Dear PyGui)
|
||||
* The AI State (Daemon Thread, stateless execution loop)
|
||||
|
||||
All synchronization between these boundaries is managed via lock-protected queues and events.
|
||||
|
||||
## Code Paths
|
||||
|
||||
### Lifetime & Application Boot
|
||||
|
||||
The application lifetime is localized within App.run in gui.py.
|
||||
|
||||
1. __init__ parses the global config.toml (which sets the active provider, theme, and project paths).
|
||||
2. It immediately hands off to project_manager.py to deserialize the active <project>.toml which hydrates the session's files, discussion histories, and prompts.
|
||||
3. Dear PyGui's dpg contexts are bootstrapped with docking_viewport=True, allowing individual GUI panels to exist as native OS windows.
|
||||
4. The main thread enters a blocking while dpg.is_dearpygui_running() render loop.
|
||||
5. On shutdown (clean exit), it performs a dual-flush: _flush_to_project() commits the UI state back to the <project>.toml, and _flush_to_config() commits the global state to config.toml. The viewport layout is automatically serialized to dpg_layout.ini.
|
||||
|
||||
### Context Shaping & Aggregation
|
||||
|
||||
Before making a call to an AI Provider, the current state of the workspace is resolved into a dense Markdown representation.
|
||||
This occurs inside ggregate.run.
|
||||
|
||||
If using the default workflow, ggregate.py hashes through the following process:
|
||||
1. **Glob Resolution:** Iterates through config["files"]["paths"] and unpacks any wildcards (e.g., src/**/*.rs) against the designated ase_dir.
|
||||
2. **Summarization Pass:** Instead of concatenating raw file bodies (which would quickly overwhelm the ~200k token limit over multiple rounds), the files are passed to summarize.py.
|
||||
3. **AST Parsing:** summarize.py runs a heuristic pass. For Python files, it uses the standard st module to read structural nodes (Classes, Methods, Imports, Constants). It outputs a compact Markdown table.
|
||||
4. **Markdown Generation:** The final <project>_00N.md string is constructed, comprising the truncated AST summaries, the user's current project system prompt, and the active discussion branch.
|
||||
5. The Markdown file is persisted to disk (./md_gen/ by default) for auditing.
|
||||
|
||||
### AI Communication & The Tool Loop
|
||||
|
||||
The communication model is unified under i_client.py, which normalizes the Gemini and Anthropic SDKs into a singular interface send(md_content, user_message, base_dir, file_items).
|
||||
|
||||
The loop is defined as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Prompt Injection:** The aggregated Markdown context and system prompt are injected. (Gemini injects this directly into system_instruction at chat instantiation to prevent history bloat; Anthropic chunks this into cache_control: ephemeral blocks).
|
||||
2. **Execution Loop:** A MAX_TOOL_ROUNDS (default 10) bounded loop begins.
|
||||
3. The AI provider is polled.
|
||||
4. If the provider's stop_reason is ool_use:
|
||||
1. The loop parses the requested tool (either a read-only MCP tool or the destructive PowerShell tool).
|
||||
2. If PowerShell, it dispatches a blocking event to the Main Thread (see *On Tool Execution & Concurrency*).
|
||||
3. Once the result is retrieved, the loop executes a **Dynamic Refresh** (_reread_file_items). Any files currently tracked by the project are pulled from the disk fresh.
|
||||
4. The tool result, appended with the fresh [FILES UPDATED] block, is sent back to the provider.
|
||||
5. Once the model outputs standard text, the loop terminates and yields the string back to the GUI callback.
|
||||
|
||||
### On Tool Execution & Concurrency
|
||||
|
||||
When the AI calls a safe MCP tool (like
|
||||
ead_file or search_files), the daemon thread immediately executes it via mcp_client.py and returns the result.
|
||||
|
||||
However, when the AI requests
|
||||
un_powershell, the operation halts:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The Daemon Thread instantiates a ConfirmDialog object containing the payload and calls .wait(). This blocks the thread on a hreading.Event().
|
||||
2. The ConfirmDialog instance is safely placed in a _pending_dialog_lock.
|
||||
3. The Main Thread, during its next frame cycle, pops the dialog from the lock and renders an OS-level modal window using dpg.window(modal=True).
|
||||
4. The user can inspect the script, modify it in the text box, or reject it entirely.
|
||||
5. Upon the user clicking "Approve & Run", the main thread triggers the hreading.Event, unblocking the Daemon Thread.
|
||||
6. The Daemon Thread passes the script to shell_runner.py, captures stdout, stderr, and exit_code, logs it to session_logger.py, and returns it to the LLM.
|
||||
|
||||
### On Context History Pruning (Anthropic)
|
||||
|
||||
Because the Anthropic API requires sending the entire conversation history on every request, long sessions will inevitably hit the invalid_request_error: prompt is too long.
|
||||
|
||||
To solve this, i_client.py implements an aggressive pruning algorithm:
|
||||
1. _strip_stale_file_refreshes: It recursively sweeps backward through the history dict and strips out large [FILES UPDATED] data blocks from old turns, preserving only the most recent snapshot.
|
||||
2. _trim_anthropic_history: If the estimated token count still exceeds _ANTHROPIC_MAX_PROMPT_TOKENS (~180,000), it slices off the oldest user/assistant message pairs from the beginning of the history array.
|
||||
3. The loop guarantees that at least the System prompt, Tool Definitions, and the final user prompt are preserved.
|
||||
|
||||
### Session Persistence
|
||||
|
||||
All I/O bound session data is recorded sequentially. session_logger.py hooks into the execution loops and records:
|
||||
- logs/comms_<ts>.log: A JSON-L structured timeline of every raw payload sent/received.
|
||||
- logs/toolcalls_<ts>.log: A sequential markdown record detailing every AI tool invocation and its exact stdout result.
|
||||
- scripts/generated/: Every .ps1 script approved and executed by the shell runner is physically written to disk for version control transparency.

# Guide: Tooling
|
||||
|
||||
Overview of the tool dispatch and execution model.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
The agent is provided two classes of tools: Read-Only MCP Tools, and a Destructive Execution Loop.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Read-Only Context (MCP Tools)
|
||||
|
||||
Implemented in mcp_client.py. These tools allow the AI to selectively expand its knowledge of the codebase without requiring the user to dump entire 10,000-line files into the static context prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
### Security & Scope
|
||||
Every filesystem MCP tool passes its arguments through _resolve_and_check. This function ensures that the requested path falls under one of the allowed directories defined in the GUI's Base Dir configurations.
|
||||
If the AI attempts to read or search a path outside the project bounds, the tool safely catches the constraint violation and returns ACCESS DENIED.
|
||||
|
||||
### Supplied Tools:
|
||||
*
|
||||
ead_file(path): Returns the raw UTF-8 text of a file.
|
||||
* list_directory(path): Returns a formatted table of a directory's contents, showing file vs dir and byte sizes.
|
||||
* search_files(path, pattern): Executes an absolute glob search (e.g., **/*.py) to find specific files.
|
||||
* get_file_summary(path): Invokes the local summarize.py heuristic parser to get the AST structure of a file without reading the whole body.
|
||||
* web_search(query): Queries DuckDuckGo's raw HTML endpoint and returns the top 5 results (Titles, URLs, Snippets) using a native HTMLParser to avoid heavy dependencies.
|
||||
* etch_url(url): Downloads a target webpage and strips out all scripts, styling, and structural HTML, returning only the raw prose content (clamped to 40,000 characters).
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Destructive Execution (
|
||||
un_powershell)
|
||||
|
||||
The core manipulation mechanism. This is a single, heavily guarded tool.
|
||||
|
||||
### Flow
|
||||
1. The AI generates a
|
||||
un_powershell payload containing a PowerShell script.
|
||||
2. The AI background thread calls confirm_and_run_callback (injected by gui.py).
|
||||
3. The background thread blocks completely, creating a modal popup on the main GUI thread.
|
||||
4. The user reads the script and chooses to Approve or Reject.
|
||||
5. If Approved, shell_runner.py executes the script using -NoProfile -NonInteractive -Command within the specified ase_dir.
|
||||
6. The combined stdout, stderr, and EXIT CODE are captured and returned to the AI in the tool result block.
|
||||
|
||||
### AI Guidelines
|
||||
The core system prompt explicitly guides the AI on how to use this tool safely:
|
||||
* Prefer targeted replacements (using PowerShell's .Replace()) over full rewrites where possible.
|
||||
* If a file is large and complex (requiring specific escape characters), do not attempt an inline python -c script. Instead, use a PowerShell here-string (@'...'@) to write a temporary python helper script to disk, execute the python script, and then delete it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Synthetic Context Refresh
|
||||
Immediately after **any** tool call turn finishes, i_client runs _reread_file_items. It fetches the latest disk state of all files in the current project context and appends them as a synthetic [FILES UPDATED] message to the tool result.
|
||||
This means if the AI writes to a file, it instantly "sees" the modification in its next turn without having to waste a cycle calling
|
||||
ead_file.

"@2026-02-22T01:15:32\nAI:\nAlright, I've done extensive research on this. Here's my assessment:\n\n## The Multi-Viewport Situation in Python\n\n### The Problem with DearPyGui\nDearPyGui wraps Dear ImGui but **does not expose the multi-viewport feature** (dragging imgui windows out as independent OS windows). It has its own docking implementation but the C++ multi-viewport backend plumbing was never wired through to Python. You've already discovered this the hard way.\n\n### The Best Option: `imgui-bundle` (pip: `imgui-bundle`)\n\n**This is the package you want.** It's by Pascal Thomet (pthom) and wraps:\n- **Dear ImGui** (docking branch — which includes multi-viewport support)\n- **Hello ImGui** (application framework on top of Dear ImGui)\n- 20+ additional libraries (plots, markdown, node editors, etc.)\n\nKey facts:\n- `pip install imgui-bundle` — binary wheels for Windows/macOS/Linux\n- It tracks Dear ImGui's **docking branch** closely, which is the branch that contains `ImGuiConfigFlags_ViewportsEnable`\n- Full Python bindings with type hints\n- The API uses `imgui.config_flags` to set `ImGuiConfigFlags_ViewportsEnable`, then Dear ImGui handles creating/managing OS windows automatically when you drag an imgui window outside the main viewport\n- Has its own layout/docking system via Hello ImGui's dock spaces\n\n### What the Port Involves\n\nThis is a **massive** rewrite. The entire `gui.py` (2094 lines) and `theme.py` (415 lines) are completely DearPyGui-specific. Every single widget call, every tag system, every callback pattern is different. Here's the mapping:\n\n| DearPyGui | imgui-bundle |\n|---|---|\n| `dpg.add_text(...)` | `imgui.text(...)` |\n| `dpg.add_input_text(tag=..., ...)` | State variable + `imgui.input_text(...)` |\n| `dpg.add_button(label=..., callback=...)` | `if imgui.button(\"label\"): do_thing()` |\n| Tag-based widget identity | Immediate mode — no tags, state lives in your code |\n| `dpg.does_item_exist(tag)` | Not needed — immediate mode |\n| `dpg.configure_item(tag, ...)` | Just change the variable and it renders next frame |\n| `dpg.create_viewport()` + render loop | `hello_imgui.run(gui_func, params)` |\n| `dpg.enable_docking()` | `runner_params.imgui_window_params.enable_viewports = True` |\n| Theme via `dpg.add_theme_color()` | `imgui.push_style_color()` / `imgui.get_style()` |\n\nThe immediate-mode paradigm is actually **simpler** conceptually — no tags, no \"does item exist\" checks, no callback registration. But it means a full rewrite of all rendering code.\n\n### My Recommendation\n\n**Do the port to `imgui-bundle`.** Here's why:\n1. It definitively supports multi-viewporting (the whole point)\n2. The immediate-mode API is actually cleaner and more maintainable\n3. Better AI codegen compatibility (pthom specifically calls this out — readable code)\n4. You stay in Python — no language switch needed\n5. Active maintenance tracking upstream Dear ImGui\n\n### How I'd Structure the Port\n\n1. **Phase 1**: Install `imgui-bundle`, create a minimal proof-of-concept with multi-viewporting enabled (verify it works on your machine)\n2. **Phase 2**: Port `theme.py` → new imgui-bundle theming\n3. **Phase 3**: Port `gui.py` — the big one. Rewrite all panels as immediate-mode rendering functions\n4. **Phase 4**: Wire up the threading/callbacks (confirmation dialogs, background sends, etc.)\n\n**Want me to start with Phase 1 — a minimal proof-of-concept** that creates a window with viewports enabled, a couple of dockable panels, and verifies you can drag a panel out as an independent OS window? That way we confirm the foundation works before committing to the full rewrite.\n\nOr if you want me to just go all-in and start the full port, I can do that too. Your call.",
