Jaguar: AI-Powered Development Orchestrator

Jaguar is a development platform designed to streamline and automate project lifecycles using AI. It transforms complex development tasks into a deterministic, visual node-based workflow, executed on the user's local operating system.

---

Core Objectives

1. AI-Powered Orchestration: Utilizes a Large Language Model (LLM) to interpret user prompts and generate structured project plans.
2. Visual Workflow Editor: Provides a desktop application with a visual, node-based canvas for designing and visualizing project workflows.
3. Local-First Execution: Operates primarily on the local machine, allowing direct and secure interaction with the file system.
4. Multi-faceted Interaction: Offers multiple interfaces for interacting with the platform, including a desktop GUI, a command-line interface (CLI), and a web API.

Architecture Overview

The platform is designed with a decoupled, multi-component architecture to ensure a clean separation of concerns.

Component	Type	Responsibility
Jaguar.Desktop	Avalonia UI Application	The primary user interface. It provides the visual node-based workflow editor and interacts with the core logic.
Jaguar.Core	C# Class Library	The shared intelligence layer. It contains the core logic, including the Orchestrator, domain models, and business rules.
Jaguar.LLM	C# Class Library	Handles all interactions with the Large Language Model (Google's Gemini Pro) to provide the AI capabilities.
Jaguar.Api	ASP.NET Core Web API	Exposes Jaguar's functionality over HTTP, allowing for remote or programmatic interaction with the platform.
Jaguar.Cli	.NET Console Application	Provides a command-line interface for scripting and automating interactions with the Jaguar platform.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• .NET 8.0 SDK or newer
• Git (for cloning)

Initial Setup and Launch

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone [Your Repository URL]
   cd Jaguar

2. Build the Solution:

   dotnet build JaguarSolution.sln

3. Run the Desktop Application: The primary way to use Jaguar is through the desktop application.

   dotnet run --project Jaguar.Desktop

Command Line Interface (CLI)

The Jaguar.Cli provides high-level control over the platform:

Command	Function
jaguar run	Starts the necessary background services for the Jaguar platform.
jaguar status	Reports the current operational status of the running services.
jaguar init	Initializes a new project directory, prompting for a template.
jaguar flow execute	Executes the workflow defined in the current project's manifest file (jaguar.json).
