Bootstraps the repository from empty to a fully functional multi-agent chat application: React frontend, Express/SQLite backend, and local LLM support via Ollama.

Backend (backend/)

  • Express server (src/server.js) — CORS, JSON body parsing, rate limiting (100 req/min/IP)
  • SQLite persistence (src/utils/database.js) — better-sqlite3 v12 (Node 24-compatible), WAL mode, FK constraints, schema migrations on startup
  • Ollama client (src/utils/ollama.js) — chat(), chatStream(), healthCheck() with 120s timeout
  • Three specialized agents with distinct system prompts:
    • 💻 technicalAgent — code, debugging, architecture
    • 🎨 creativeAgent — writing, brainstorming, storytelling
    • 📊 dataAnalysisAgent — statistics, ML, BI
  • REST API routes — full CRUD for conversations and messages; agent listing with Ollama availability flag
  • Global error handler middleware with environment-aware stack traces

Frontend (frontend/)

  • useChat hook — centralizes all state: agents, conversations, messages, optimistic user message insertion, error handling
  • MessageList — renders assistant responses as Markdown; animated typing indicator while waiting on Ollama
  • InputForm — auto-resizing textarea; Enter to send, Shift+Enter for newline
  • AgentSelector — color-coded pills with live Ollama availability warning
  • ConversationHistory — searchable sidebar with per-conversation delete
  • Dark mode toggle + collapsible sidebar in App.jsx

Security

  • Axios bumped to 1.13.6 (patches SSRF, credential leakage, and DoS via __proto__ in mergeConfig)
  • All user-supplied values bound via prepared statements — no raw SQL interpolation
  • Agent ID validated against a hardcoded whitelist before any DB write
Original prompt

Create a complete multi-agent interactive chat system with Ollama integration, featuring:

Features

  • Multiple AI Agents: Technical Assistant, Creative Assistant, Data Analysis Agent
  • Ollama Integration: Local LLM support with configurable models (default: mistral)
  • Interactive Chat Interface: Real-time conversation with multiple agents
  • Conversation History: Persistent storage of chat messages
  • Agent Specialization: Each agent has unique system prompts and behaviors
  • Responsive UI: Modern React frontend with Tailwind CSS
  • REST API: Express.js backend with agent routing

Tech Stack

  • Backend: Node.js + Express.js
  • Frontend: React + Tailwind CSS
  • Database: SQLite
  • LLM: Ollama (local)
  • Package Manager: npm

## Implementation Details

### Backend Components
1. **Ollama Integration** (`src/utils/ollama.js`)
   - Connect to Ollama API (default: http://localhost:11434)
   - Stream responses from LLM
   - Handle model switching
   - Error handling and retry logic

2. **Agent System** (`src/agents/`)
   - Technical Agent: Code, debugging, technical questions
   - Creative Agent: Writing, brainstorming, creative tasks
   - Data Analysis Agent: Data interpretation, statistics
   - Each agent with specialized system prompts

3. **Database** (`src/utils/database.js`)
   - SQLite setup with migrations
   - Schema for conversations and messages
   - Query builders and helpers

4. **API Routes** (`src/routes/`)
   - POST /api/agents - List available agents
   - POST /api/conversations - Create/list conversations
   - POST /api/conversations/:id/messages - Send message to agent
   - GET /api/conversations/:id/messages - Get chat history
   - DELETE /api/conversations/:id - Delete conversation

### Frontend Components
1. **Chat Interface**
   - Real-time message streaming
   - Agent selector dropdown
   - Message history display
   - Conversation management
   - Typing indicators

2. **Styling**
   - Tailwind CSS for modern design
   - Responsive layout for mobile/desktop
   - Dark mode support

## Setup Instructions
1. Install Ollama from https://ollama.com
2. Pull a model: `ollama pull mistral`
3. Start Ollama: `ollama serve`
4. Install backend deps: `cd backend && npm install`
5. Install frontend deps: `cd frontend && npm install`
6. Configure `.env` files
7. Start backend: `npm run dev` (from backend)
8. Start frontend: `npm start` (from frontend)

## Environment Variables
- Backend: OLLAMA_URL (default: http://localhost:11434), DB_PATH, PORT (default: 5000)
- Frontend: REACT_APP_API_URL (default: http://localhost:5000)

## Features to Implement
- Agent-specific system prompts
- Message streaming with SSE or WebSockets
- Conversation persistence in SQLite
- Agent response caching
- Model switching on-the-fly
- Conversation export (JSON/PDF)
- User preferences storage
- Rate limiting
- Error recovery
- Agent typing indicators
- Message editing and deletion
- Search conversations

Suppressed comments (2)

frontend/src/App.jsx:83

  • ChatWindow renders a dismiss (×) button for errors, but no dismiss handler is passed from the parent, so the button can't clear the error state.
          error={error}

frontend/src/components/ChatWindow.jsx:52

  • The error banner’s dismiss (×) button has an empty onClick handler, so it does nothing.
          <button
            onClick={() => {}}
            className="text-red-400 hover:text-red-600 flex-shrink-0 text-lg leading-none"
