🤖 Code with AI: Your Omni Engineer Power Guide 🚀

👋 Introduction

Forget clunky coding! This is your guide to Omni Engineer, the AI-powered developer console that supercharges your workflow. Think of it as your coding sidekick, always ready to help you build faster and smarter.

🚀 Why Omni Engineer?

Next-Level Coding Assistant: It’s like having a super-smart coding buddy who can answer your questions, write code snippets, and even search the web for solutions – all without leaving your terminal.
Your Personal AI Developer: Omni Engineer is designed for developers who want to code alongside an AI, not have the AI do everything for them. It’s about collaboration and control.

🔧 Setting Up Your AI Workshop

Clone the Repository: Grab the Omni Engineer code from GitHub. (Link in the Toolbox!)
Install Dependencies: Use pip install -r requirements.txt to get everything set up.
Configure Your API Key: Get an OpenRouter API key (or use your own OpenAI key) and paste it into the .env file.
Choose Your AI Model: Decide which language model you want to work with (GPT-4, Claude, etc.) and configure it in the .env file.
Launch the Console: Run python main.py and get ready to code!

💻 Mastering Omni Engineer’s Commands

Think of these commands as your AI coding spells:

/add: Feed files to your AI’s knowledge base, so it understands your project’s context.
/edit: Edit files with AI assistance—it’s like having an autocomplete on steroids!
/new: Create new files with AI-generated templates—a huge time-saver.
/search: Let Omni Engineer search the web for you using DuckDuckGo.
/image: Add images to your AI’s memory, so it can understand visual elements too.
/clear, /reset, /undo: For those “oops” moments, these commands help you manage your AI’s memory.
/view, /save, /load: Keep track of your chat history, save your progress, and load previous sessions.

✨ Real-World Magic: Building a Kanban Board

Let’s say you want to build a Kanban task manager app:

Tell Omni Engineer Your Vision: Use a clear prompt, like “Create a Kanban task manager app in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It should let me add boards, tasks, edit names, and delete items. Make the UI clean and modern.”
Generate the Structure: Use the /new command to create the HTML file and let Omni Engineer build a basic template.
Collaborate on the Code: Use /edit to refine the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Omni Engineer will assist with syntax, suggest improvements, and even generate code blocks.

💡 Pro Tips:

Be Specific in Your Prompts: The clearer your instructions, the better the AI can understand and execute them.
Experiment with Different Models: Try out various language models to see which one best fits your coding style.
Don’t Be Afraid to Iterate: Building with AI is a collaborative process. Refine your prompts and code as you go.
