AI Task Manager - A Claude-flow Showcase Project

Project Goal: Demonstrate how someone with minimal coding knowledge can build a full-stack application using Claude-flow and AI agent orchestration.

🎯 What This Project Demonstrates

This is a learning journey documentation showing how Claude-flow enables non-technical users to:

• Build a modern web application
• Coordinate multiple AI agents
• Follow best practices automatically
• Create production-ready code

📱 What We're Building

A modern Task Management application with:

• Beautiful, responsive UI
• User authentication
• Real-time updates
• Task categorization and prioritization
• Due date tracking
• Search and filtering

🛠️ Tech Stack (Chosen by AI Agents)

• Frontend: React with Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Node.js/Express
• Database: SQLite (easy to set up)
• Authentication: JWT tokens

🚀 The Claude-flow Journey

This project documents the entire process of building an app using natural language commands:

Phase 1: Project Setup

npx claude-flow@alpha init --force
npx claude-flow@alpha swarm "create project structure for a task management app"

Phase 2: Backend Development

npx claude-flow@alpha swarm "build REST API with authentication and CRUD operations for tasks"

Phase 3: Frontend Development

npx claude-flow@alpha swarm "create modern React UI with Tailwind for task management"

Phase 4: Integration & Testing

npx claude-flow@alpha swarm "integrate frontend and backend, add error handling and tests"
