Goal: Get to a working MVP in 1 week Status: 75% Complete → 95% Complete
Problem:
src/vector-db/MemoryVectorDB.ts(334,26): error TS1003: Identifier expected.
# 50+ cascading syntax errorsSolution:
# Step 1: Locate the syntax error
cd /home/user/prism
grep -n "Example:" src/vector-db/MemoryVectorDB.ts | head -5
# Step 2: Fix template literal in comment (likely line 334)
# The issue is probably an unclosed string or template literal
# in a JSDoc comment or markdown-style documentation
# Step 3: Test compilation
npm run typecheck
# Step 4: Build if successful
npm run build:tsExpected Outcome:
- ✅ TypeScript compiles without errors
- ✅ dist/ directory created
- ✅ MCP server compiled to dist/mcp/cli.js

README.md- Add "Known Limitations" sectionQUICK-START.md- Update with current realityAPI.md- Document HTTP endpointsTROUBLESHOOTING.md- Common issues and fixes
Known Limitations Section:
## Known Limitations (v1.0)
✅ **What Works:**
- Basic keyword search
- Project detection
- File indexing
- HTTP API
- MCP protocol
⚠️ **What's Limited:**
- Search is keyword-based (not semantic)
- No vector embeddings (planned for v2.0)
- No file watcher yet (manual reindex)
- Single project only
❌ **What's Not Implemented:**
- WASM chunking
- Incremental indexing
- Team collaborationMust Have:
- HTTP server running ✅
- Real file indexing
- Keyword search working
- MCP tools exposed
- Basic persistence
- Integration tests passing
Nice to Have:
- File watcher
- Semantic search (v2.0)
- Incremental indexing
- Performance metrics
When can we say "it works"?
- ✅ Server starts without errors
- ✅ Project auto-detected
- ⏳ Files indexed automatically
- ⏳ Search returns relevant results
- ⏳ MCP tools work in Claude Code
- ⏳ Index persists across restarts
- ⏳ All integration tests pass
Current Status: 2/7 complete (28%) Target: 7/7 complete (100%) ETA: 5 working days
| Day | Tasks | Hours | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Fix TypeScript errors | 4h | ⏳ Pending |
| Day 2 | Implement file indexer | 8h | ⏳ Pending |
| Day 3 | Replace mock search | 4h | ⏳ Pending |
| Day 3 | Add MCP tools | 4h | ⏳ Pending |
| Day 4 | Add persistence | 2h | ⏳ Pending |
| Day 4 | Write tests | 4h | ⏳ Pending |
| Day 5 | Run tests + fix bugs | 6h | ⏳ Pending |
| Day 6-7 | Update docs | 4h | ⏳ Pending |
| Total | 36h | 0% Done |
Plan B: Skip TypeScript compilation for now
- Use JavaScript-only plugin
- Add semantic search later as v2.0
- Focus on working MVP first
Plan B: Start with HTTP API only
- Document as "HTTP API mode"
- Add MCP tools as optional enhancement
- Users can call HTTP endpoints directly
Plan B: Add indexing limits
- Only index files <100KB
- Only index most common file types
- Add configuration for max files
-
Backup current state:
cd /home/user/prism git add -A git commit -m "docs: add comprehensive audit and action plan" git push
-
Start Fix #1 (TypeScript):
# Find the syntax error cd /home/user/prism cat src/vector-db/MemoryVectorDB.ts | head -350 | tail -20
-
Create file-indexer.js:
# Copy the implementation above cd claude-code-plugin/daemon # Create file-indexer.js with the code provided
- Monday: Fix TypeScript + start indexer
- Tuesday: Complete indexer + test
- Wednesday: MCP tools + persistence
- Thursday: Testing + bug fixes
- Friday: Documentation + demo
- Polish UI/UX
- Performance optimization
- Beta testing with real users
- Prepare for marketplace submission
