Software Development Planner

Complete workflow for planning and implementing Python software with CLI, GUI, and Web interfaces, following established project patterns from GangDan, Chou, Huan, LaPian, and NuoYi.

Pre-Development Planning

Step 1: Domain Research

Before writing any code, conduct thorough research:

1. Academic Literature Search

- Search Google Scholar, CNKI, IEEE, ACM for relevant papers - Download key PDFs to pdf/ directory in project root - Extract core concepts and methodologies - Identify evaluation criteria and metrics

1. Existing Solutions Analysis

- Search GitHub for similar projects - Identify feature gaps and improvement opportunities - Note UI/UX patterns and architectural decisions

1. Requirements Synthesis

- Combine academic findings with practical needs - Define functional requirements with citations - Establish non-functional requirements (performance, usability)

Step 2: Architecture Design

Design the system before implementation:

Software Name (v1.0)
├── Core Features (from research)
│   ├── Feature 1: [description with citation]
│   ├── Feature 2: [description with citation]
│   └── Feature 3: [description with citation]
├── Data Models
│   ├── Model 1: fields, relationships
│   └── Model 2: fields, relationships
├── Algorithms
│   ├── Algorithm 1: input, output, complexity
│   └── Algorithm 2: input, output, complexity
└── User Interfaces
    ├── CLI: commands, flags, arguments
    ├── GUI: windows, panels, controls
    └── Web: routes, templates, API endpoints

Step 3: Module Specification

Define each module with clear responsibilities and size targets. The cli.py module handles command-line argument parsing and routing, targeting around 100 lines. The gui.py module provides PySide6 window, controls, and event handlers, targeting around 200 lines. The app.py module contains Flask routes and API endpoints, targeting around 100 lines. The core.py module implements business logic, algorithms, and data models, targeting around 200 lines. The api.py module provides the unified Python API with ToolResult, targeting around 100 lines. Total target is 500+ lines across all modules.

Interface Requirements

CLI (Command-Line Interface)

Follow unified flag conventions from GangDan:

import argparse

def main():
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
        prog="softwarename",
        description="Software description",
        formatter_class=argparse.RawDescriptionHelpFormatter,
    )

    # Unified flags (required)
    parser.add_argument("-V", "--version", action="version", version=f"softwarename {__version__}")
    parser.add_argument("-v", "--verbose", action="store_true", help="Verbose output")
    parser.add_argument("-o", "--output", help="Output path")
    parser.add_argument("--json", action="store_true", dest="json_output", help="Output as JSON")
    parser.add_argument("-q", "--quiet", action="store_true", help="Suppress output")

    # Mode selection
    subparsers = parser.add_subparsers(dest="mode")

    # GUI mode
    gui_parser = subparsers.add_parser("gui", help="Launch GUI")
    gui_parser.add_argument("--no-web", action="store_true", help="Disable embedded web server")

    # Web mode
    web_parser = subparsers.add_parser("web", help="Launch web server")
    web_parser.add_argument("--host", default="127.0.0.1")
    web_parser.add_argument("--port", type=int, default=5000)

    # CLI operations
    cli_parser = subparsers.add_parser("cli", help="CLI mode")
    cli_parser.add_argument("input", help="Input file or data")

Entry Points (following GangDan pattern): The software supports multiple entry points. The default invocation launches GUI or web based on context. Explicit GUI mode uses softwarename gui. Web server mode uses softwarename web. CLI mode uses softwarename cli <args>. Module invocation uses python -m packagename.

GUI (PySide6 Interface)

Use default PySide6 styling - NO custom colors, fonts, or backgrounds:

from PySide6.QtWidgets import (
    QApplication, QMainWindow, QWidget, QVBoxLayout,
    QHBoxLayout, QPushButton, QLabel, QLineEdit,
    QComboBox, QSpinBox, QDoubleSpinBox, QTableWidget,
    QTabWidget, QGroupBox, QFileDialog, QMessageBox,
)
from PySide6.QtCore import Qt
import pyqtgraph as pg

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle("Software Name v1.0")
        self.setMinimumSize(800, 600)

        # Central widget with default styling
        central = QWidget()
        self.setCentralWidget(central)
        layout = QVBoxLayout(central)

        # Controls in group box
        control_group = QGroupBox("Parameters")
        control_layout = QHBoxLayout(control_group)

        # Input controls
        self.input_edit = QLineEdit()
        self.input_edit.setPlaceholderText("Enter input...")
        control_layout.addWidget(QLabel("Input:"))
        control_layout.addWidget(self.input_edit)

        # Action buttons
        btn_run = QPushButton("Run")
        btn_run.clicked.connect(self.run_analysis)
        control_layout.addWidget(btn_run)

        layout.addWidget(control_group)

        # Visualization with pyqtgraph
        self.plot_widget = pg.PlotWidget()
        self.plot_widget.setBackground('w')  # White background for plots
        self.plot_widget.showGrid(x=True, y=True)
        layout.addWidget(self.plot_widget)

        # Results table
        self.results_table = QTableWidget()
        self.results_table.setColumnCount(4)
        self.results_table.setHorizontalHeaderLabels(["ID", "Name", "Value", "Score"])
        layout.addWidget(self.results_table)

GUI Design Principles: Three principles guide GUI implementation. First, use default styling only with system default colors, system default fonts, no custom backgrounds, and no custom stylesheets. Second, follow a consistent layout structure with the control panel with parameters at the top, visualization area with pyqtgraph in the middle, and results table or log output at the bottom. Third, select appropriate control types: QLineEdit for text input, QSpinBox or QDoubleSpinBox for numeric input, QComboBox for selections, QCheckBox for boolean options, and QPushButton for actions.

Web (Flask Interface)

from flask import Flask, render_template, jsonify, request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def index():
    return render_template("index.html")

@app.route("/api/analyze", methods=["POST"])
def analyze():
    data = request.json
    result = perform_analysis(data)
    return jsonify(result.to_dict())

@app.route("/api/results/<id>")
def get_results(id):
    result = get_stored_result(id)
    return jsonify(result.to_dict())

def run_server(host="127.0.0.1", port=5000):
    print(f"Starting server at http://{host}:{port}")
    app.run(host=host, port=port, debug=False)

ToolResult Pattern

All API functions must return ToolResult:

from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from typing import Any, Optional

@dataclass
class ToolResult:
    success: bool
    data: Any = None
    error: Optional[str] = None
    metadata: dict = field(default_factory=dict)

    def to_dict(self) -> dict:
        return {
            "success": self.success,
            "data": self.data,
            "error": self.error,
            "metadata": self.metadata,
        }

Sample Data Requirements

Create sample data for testing and demonstration:
