## π― Key Features (after implementation)
### 1οΈβ£ Dual LLM Provider Support
```bash
# OpenAI (cloud)
LLM_PROVIDER=openai
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxx
# LM Studio (local)
LLM_PROVIDER=lmstudio
LMSTUDIO_BASE_URL=http://10.242.247.136:11888/v1
```
### 2οΈβ£ Docker Deployment
```bash
# Local development
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up
# Production (Ubuntu VM)
docker-compose up -d
```
### 3οΈβ£ ACE Framework
- **86.9% reduction** in token consumption
- **+10.6% accuracy** through self-learning
- Incremental delta updates
- Semantic deduplication

## π Next Steps
### π₯ Immediately (30 min)
```bash
# 1. Install dependencies
cd $HOME/code/perplexity/ace-mcp-server
npm install openai axios zod
npm install -D @types/axios jest ts-jest @types/jest
# 2. Create structure
mkdir -p src/llm src/llm/__tests__
mkdir -p src/core src/mcp src/storage src/utils
# 3. Start Phase 2
# Create src/llm/provider.ts (interface)
```
### β‘ Short-term (2-4 hours)
1. **Implement LLM Provider Abstraction**
- `src/llm/provider.ts` - Interface
- `src/llm/openai.ts` - OpenAI implementation
- `src/llm/lmstudio.ts` - LM Studio implementation
- `src/llm/factory.ts` - Factory method
2. **Update Configuration**
- `src/utils/config.ts` - Zod validation
- `.env.example` - LLM provider vars
3. **Write tests**
- Unit tests for each provider
- Mock HTTP requests
### π
Medium-term (1-2 days)
1. Docker configurations
2. Integration with ACE components
3. Local deployment testing
4. Documentation

### LM Studio Setup
Your LM Studio server:
- **URL**: http://10.242.247.136:11888/v1
- **API**: OpenAI-compatible
- **Endpoints**: `/chat/completions`, `/embeddings`, `/models`
- **Auth**: Not required (local server)

## π Documentation
### Created Documentation
- β
`INITIALIZATION_REPORT.md` - Full initialization report
- β
`PROJECT_STATUS.md` - Brief status (this file)
- β
`memory-bank/` - 8 Memory Bank files
### Needs to be Created
- β³ `docs/LM_STUDIO_SETUP.md`
- β³ `docs/DOCKER_DEPLOYMENT.md`
- β³ `docs/CONFIGURATION.md`
- β³ Update `README.md`

## π How to Work with the Project
### 1. Read Context
```bash
# Key files for understanding
cat memory-bank/projectbrief.md # What and why
cat memory-bank/tasks.md # Work plan
cat memory-bank/techContext.md # Technical details
```
### 2. Choose Work Mode
**PLAN** - For detailed task planning
**IMPLEMENT** - For writing code
**QA** - For testing
### 3. Follow tasks.md
All tasks are divided into **7 phases** with checklists.
Start with **Phase 2** (LLM Providers).
### 4. Update progress.md
After each completed task, mark in:
- `memory-bank/progress.md`
- `memory-bank/tasks.md`
---
## π‘ Quick Start
```bash
# 1. Go to project
cd $HOME/code/perplexity/ace-mcp-server
# 2. Read plan
cat memory-bank/tasks.md
# 3. Install dependencies
npm install openai axios zod
npm install -D jest ts-jest @types/jest @types/axios
# 4. Create structure
mkdir -p src/llm/{__tests__}
# 5. Start Phase 2 implementation
# (create src/llm/provider.ts first)
```
