The Manicode project follows the modern Python packaging structure:

• pyproject.toml: Contains project metadata and build system requirements.
• src/manicode/: Source code directory.
• tests/: Directory for test files (currently empty).
• dist/: Contains distribution files after building the package.
• LICENSE: MIT License file.
• README.md: Project description and usage instructions.

• Uses setuptools as the build backend.
• Configured to use the src layout for better separation of source code.

• Name: manicode
• Description: An AI-powered coding assistant (coming soon)
• Requires Python 3.6 or later

• The project can be built using the build package: python -m build
• This creates both source (.tar.gz) and wheel (.whl) distributions in the dist/ directory.

• For local development, install the package in editable mode: pip install -e .
• Remember to update the version in pyproject.toml when making new releases.

• Implement the main functionality of the AI-powered coding assistant.
• Add tests in the tests/ directory.
• Update README.md with detailed usage instructions as features are developed.

• The package currently uses a console script entry point, which should be implemented in the manicode/__init__.py file.
• The project is in a pre-alpha state and not yet ready for public release.

Remember to keep this knowledge file updated as the project evolves.
