Development Servers

Instructions

1. Check if dependencies are installed:

- Backend: Look for backend/venv/ or ask user about Python environment - Frontend: Check if frontend/node_modules/ exists

1. Install dependencies if missing:

- Backend: cd backend && pip install -r requirements.txt - Frontend: cd frontend && npm install

1. Start servers (recommend running in separate terminals or background):

- Backend: cd backend && uvicorn main:app --reload (runs on http://localhost:8000) - Frontend: cd frontend && npm run dev (runs on http://localhost:5173)

1. Verify .env file exists in backend/ with OPENAIAPIKEY set

Examples

• "Start the dev servers"
• "Run the app locally"
• "Launch backend and frontend"

Guardrails

• Never expose or log the OPENAIAPIKEY
• Confirm with user before installing dependencies
• Warn if ports 8000 or 5173 are already in use
