The dock now talks to a real LLM. On first load it asks Socrates for an
opening turn that's grounded in the project's actual SysML model + active
validation issues. User replies and option-picks send turns through the
same channel. Thread + every message persist in SQLite so refresh keeps
the conversation.
apps/web/lib/llm
- gateway.ts: LLMGateway interface (chat + ChatOptions). Two adapters:
- lmstudio: OpenAI SDK against LMSTUDIO_BASE_URL (default
http://localhost:1234/v1)
- anthropic: @anthropic-ai/sdk against claude-sonnet-4-6 (set
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY when LLM_PROVIDER=anthropic)
Provider chosen via LLM_PROVIDER env (default: lmstudio).
- chatJSON(): JSON-mode helper with parse-error repair-retry — the same
defensive pattern proven against gemma-4-e4b in Phase 0.
- prompts.ts: server-only loader that caches .md prompts.
- prompts/socrates/character.md + review.md: ported verbatim from
phase-0/src/prompts/ (Phase 0 corpus validated these 10/10).
- socrates.ts: sendUserTurn() — builds the system prompt (character +
review + project context with trimmed model + active issues), runs
chatJSON against the gateway, persists user + assistant turns,
returns the structured turn. SocratesTurn schema is { text, options? }
with up to 3 numbered options matching the prototype.
apps/web/prisma
- SocratesThread + SocratesMessage tables. Auto-create one open thread
per project on first load.
apps/web/app/api/projects/[projectId]/socrates
- GET: returns active thread + parsed messages.
- POST: body { text }. Empty text triggers an opening turn. Persists user
+ assistant turns, returns assistant turn + provider metadata.
apps/web/components/socrates/SocratesDock.tsx
- Replaces the static thread prop with a projectId. Loads from API on
mount, auto-triggers an opening turn if the thread is empty, sends
user replies via POST. Numbered options click-to-pick or 1–3 keyboard
shortcut (skipped when focus is in an input). Status line shows the
active provider + model. Optimistic-local: user message appears
instantly, "thinking…" placeholder shows while the LLM works, errors
surface inline.
apps/web/.env.example + .env.local
- LLM_PROVIDER, LMSTUDIO_BASE_URL/MODEL/API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY/MODEL.
- .env.local committed only with the local default (no real secrets);
user supplies their own per-machine.
What's not yet here (next iterations):
- Streaming responses (currently waits for full response, ~5-15s)
- Multi-thread switcher (one auto-thread per project)
- Socrates-proposes-ops flow (M7)
This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.
Getting Started
First, run the development server:
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
bun dev
Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Geist, a new font family for Vercel.
