Lovable Prompt Creator - AI Prompt Generator

## APPLICATION OVERVIEW
DevOpsForge is a modern full-stack web application designed for developers, focusing on simplifying the creation and management of Kubernetes manifests and CI/CD workflows. It provides users with an intuitive interface to generate Kubernetes configurations, validate YAML files, and manage application deployment histories.

## CORE FEATURES
- **Kubernetes Manifest Generator**: A multi-step wizard allowing users to input application details and generate production-ready Kubernetes manifests including `values.yaml`, `deployment.yaml`, and more.
- **CI/CD Workflow Generator**: Generates GitHub Actions workflows based on user specifications for framework, Docker image, and Helm release, streamlining deployment processes.
- **Kubernetes YAML Validator**: Validates user-provided YAML files for syntax errors, missing fields, and best practices, returning detailed feedback.
- **Application Management**: CRUD functionality for managing applications and their deployment histories, allowing users to track changes and configurations.
- **Responsive Dashboard**: A clean, responsive dashboard with a collapsible sidebar, providing easy navigation between features and settings.
- **Structured Logging**: Utilizes Pino for structured JSON logging with correlation IDs for better monitoring and debugging.

## DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
- **Visual Style**: minimalist - Clean, simple design with plenty of white space, minimal color palette, and focus on typography
- **Color Mode**: Light theme with dark text on light backgrounds
- **Primary Color**: #1978E5 (accent for buttons, links, highlights)

## TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
- **Framework**: React with TypeScript
- **Styling**: Tailwind CSS
- **UI Components**: shadcn/ui
- **State Management**: React Query for API communication
- **Database**: PostgreSQL with Prisma ORM
- **Backend**: Node.js with Express and TypeScript

## IMPLEMENTATION STEPS
1. **Set Up Project Environment**:
   - Initialize a new React project using Vite with TypeScript.
   - Install necessary dependencies including Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, React Query, and Prisma.
  
2. **Design the User Interface**:
   - Create a responsive layout with a collapsible sidebar using Tailwind CSS.
   - Implement the dashboard area with sections for each core feature.

3. **Implement the Kubernetes Manifest Generator**:
   - Create the multi-step wizard UI component.
   - Use Zod for input validation before submission.
   - Set up API routes in Express to handle incoming data and generate manifests.

4. **Develop the CI/CD Workflow Generator**:
   - Create a form where users can specify their CI/CD requirements.
   - Implement backend logic to generate and return the GitHub Actions YAML.

5. **Build the Kubernetes YAML Validator**:
   - Create a validation service in the backend to check for common issues in provided YAML files.
   - Display validation results in the frontend with feedback on errors and suggestions.

6. **Implement Application Management**:
   - Create CRUD APIs for applications and history using Prisma for database interactions.
   - Design UI components for listing, adding, editing, and deleting applications.

7. **Set Up Logging and Health Check**:
   - Integrate Pino for logging structured data in the backend.
   - Expose a `/health` endpoint to monitor the application's status.

8. **Testing and Deployment**:
   - Perform unit and integration tests to ensure functionality.
   - Containerize the application with Docker and prepare for deployment to Kubernetes using Helm.

## USER EXPERIENCE
Users will start at the dashboard, where they can easily navigate through different features via the collapsible sidebar. The Kubernetes Manifest Generator will guide them through entering required application details in a step-by-step manner. Upon generating manifests, users can view and copy the output in a Monaco Editor, with options for downloading and explanations. Validation features will provide immediate feedback on YAML inputs, enhancing the overall user experience. The application will maintain a clean and straightforward design, ensuring that users can focus on their tasks without unnecessary distractions.
