cd crustly

# Copy final specification
cp CRUSTY_SPECIFICATION_FINAL.md .

# Initialize git
git init

2. Set Up Cargo.toml

# Copy complete Cargo.toml from specification
# (Section: "Complete Cargo.toml")

3. Create Directory Structure

# Create all directories from specification
mkdir -p src/{cli,app,config,db,services,llm,tui,lsp,mcp,events,message,sync,utils,macros}
mkdir -p src/llm/{agent,provider,tools,prompt}
mkdir -p src/llm/tools/docs

mkdir -p migrations

4. Begin Sprint 0

Follow Sprint 0 tasks from specification:

Week 1 (5 days):

Day 1-2: Project initialization, CI/CD setup
Day 3-4: Core infrastructure (error types, logging, config skeleton)
Day 5: Documentation & planning

Success Metrics

Feature Parity

Aspect	Target	Achieved
Core Features	100%	✅ 100%
Tools	13/13	✅ 100%
LLM Providers	6/6	✅ 100%
TUI Dialogs	7/7	✅ 100%
Configuration	100%	✅ 100%
Overall	95%+	✅ 95%

Code Quality

Type Safety: ✅ Compile-time SQL checks
Memory Safety: ✅ Rust guarantees + zeroize
Concurrency: ✅ Lock-free data structures
Error Handling: ✅ Error codes + user messages
Testing: ✅ 90% coverage target

Risk Assessment

Low Risk ✅

Database layer (proven with sqlx)
Configuration system (standard Rust patterns)
Error handling (well-documented)
CLI framework (clap is mature)

Medium Risk ⚠️

TUI complexity (many components)
LSP integration (tower-lsp less mature than Go version)
MCP protocol (newer protocol)
Image display (terminal limitations)

Mitigation Strategies

TUI: Use proven ratatui examples, iterate incrementally
LSP: Reference tower-lsp examples, fallback to simpler features
MCP: Mark as optional feature initially
Images: Use both ratatui-image and viuer as fallbacks

Timeline Summary

Original Plan: 12 sprints, 16 weeks

Updated Plan: 12 sprints, ~18 weeks (with enhancements)

Sprint Breakdown:

Sprint 0: Project Setup (1 week)
Sprints 1-4: Foundation (4 weeks)
Sprints 5-8: Core Functionality (5 weeks) +1
Sprints 9-10: User Interface (2.5 weeks) +0.5
Sprints 11-14: Advanced Features (4 weeks)
