**Plan to Address GitHub Issue: Add Research Component to Dashboard Workspace**

---

### 1. Understand the Problem

- **Objective**: Add a new "Research" component to the dashboard application to display research items associated with a specific task or issue.
- **Key Requirements**:
  - Create a new `Research.tsx` component in the workspace directory.
  - Fetch research items from the database based on the task/issue ID.
  - Render research questions and answers in markdown format.
  - Integrate the new component into the workspace and update the sidebar.
  - Ensure design consistency using Tailwind CSS.
  - Update types to include a new research sidebar icon.
  - Update an existing API router to fetch research items.

### 2. Assess Available Information

- **Codebase Structure**:
  - **Client-side Dashboard**: `/src/app/dashboard`
    - Workspace components are in `/src/app/dashboard/[org]/[repo]/[developer]/components/workspace`.
    - Sidebar component is in `/src/app/dashboard/[org]/[repo]/[developer]/components/Sidebar.tsx`.
    - Dashboard layout is managed in `/src/app/dashboard/[org]/[repo]/[developer]/Dashboard.tsx`.
  - **Types Definitions**: `/src/types.ts`.
  - **API Routers**: `/src/server/api/routers`.
    - Existing routers like `events.ts` handle data fetching.

- **Existing Components and Functions**:
  - **Workspace Components**: `Code`, `Issue`, `PullRequest`, etc.
  - **Sidebar**: Manages navigation between workspace components.
  - **API Functions**: Fetch data related to tasks, events, and projects.

### 4. Plan Code Changes

#### Step 1: Create the `Research.tsx` Component

- **Tool**: `CreateNewCode`
- **File Path**: `/src/app/dashboard/[org]/[repo]/[developer]/components/workspace/Research.tsx`
- **Instructions**:
  - Create a new React component named `Research`.
  - Use `useEffect` and `useState` hooks to fetch research items based on the current task or issue ID.
  - Fetch data using the API method `api.events.getResearchItems`.
  - Render a list of research questions and answers.
  - Display answers using a markdown renderer like `react-markdown`.
  - Apply Tailwind CSS classes to match the existing design.

#### Step 2: Update the API Router to Fetch Research Items

- **Tool**: `EditExistingCode`
- **File Path**: `/src/server/api/routers/events.ts`
- **Instructions**:
  - Import necessary modules and the database client.
  - Add a new method `getResearchItems` to fetch research items from the database:

    ```typescript
    getResearchItems: publicProcedure
      .input(z.object({ taskId: z.string() }))
      .query(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
        const researchItems = await ctx.db.research.findMany({
          where: { taskId: input.taskId },
        });
        return researchItems;
      }),
    ```

#### Step 3: Update Types to Include the Research Sidebar Icon

- **Tool**: `EditExistingCode`
- **File Path**: `/src/types.ts`
- **Instructions**:
  - Update the `WorkspaceItemType` or relevant type to include `'Research'`:

    ```typescript
    export type WorkspaceItemType = 'Code' | 'Issue' | 'PullRequest' | 'Research' | 'Todos' | 'Workspace';
    ```

  - If there is an icon type or enum, add the new icon type.

#### Step 4: Update the Workspace Index to Export the `Research` Component

- **Tool**: `EditExistingCode`
- **File Path**: `/src/app/dashboard/[org]/[repo]/[developer]/components/workspace/index.tsx`
- **Instructions**:
  - Import the `Research` component:

    ```typescript
    import Research from './Research';
    ```

  - Export the `Research` component alongside other workspace components:

    ```typescript
    export { Code, Issue, PullRequest, Research };
    ```

#### Step 5: Integrate the `Research` Component into the Dashboard

- **Tool**: `EditExistingCode`
- **File Path**: `/src/app/dashboard/[org]/[repo]/[developer]/Dashboard.tsx`
- **Instructions**:
  - Import the `Research` component:

    ```typescript
    import { Research } from './components/workspace';
    ```

  - Modify the rendering logic to include the `Research` component based on the selected workspace item:

    ```jsx
    {selectedWorkspaceItem === 'Research' && <Research taskId={currentTaskId} />}
    ```

#### Step 6: Update the Sidebar to Include the "Research" Component

- **Tool**: `EditExistingCode`
- **File Path**: `/src/app/dashboard/[org]/[repo]/[developer]/components/Sidebar.tsx`
- **Instructions**:
  - Import a suitable icon for "Research", e.g., `LightBulbIcon` from Heroicons:

    ```typescript
    import { LightBulbIcon } from '@heroicons/react/outline';
    ```

  - Add a new sidebar item for "Research":

    ```typescript
    {
      name: 'Research',
      icon: LightBulbIcon,
      workspaceType: 'Research',
    },
    ```

  - Ensure the sidebar updates the `selectedWorkspaceItem` state when "Research" is clicked.

#### Step 7: Ensure Styling Consistency Using Tailwind CSS

- **Tool**: `EditExistingCode`
- **File Path**: `/src/app/dashboard/[org]/[repo]/[developer]/components/workspace/Research.tsx`
- **Instructions**:
  - Apply Tailwind CSS classes to match existing components.
  - Use consistent margins, paddings, fonts, and colors.
  - Ensure the component is responsive and accessible.

#### Step 8: Fetch and Display Research Items in `Research.tsx`

- **Tool**: `EditExistingCode`
- **File Path**: `/src/app/dashboard/[org]/[repo]/[developer]/components/workspace/Research.tsx`
- **Instructions**:
  - Use the `useQuery` hook from `@tanstack/react-query` or the equivalent in your setup to fetch data:

    ```typescript
    const { data: researchItems, isLoading } = api.events.getResearchItems.useQuery({ taskId });
    ```

  - Handle loading and error states.
  - Render each research item's question and answer:

    ```jsx
    {researchItems.map((item) => (
      <div key={item.id} className="mb-4">
        <h3 className="text-lg font-semibold">{item.question}</h3>
        <div className="prose">
          <ReactMarkdown>{item.answer}</ReactMarkdown>
        </div>
      </div>
    ))}
    ```

Sonnet 3.5 code:

import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import { api } from "../../../../../../../trpc/react";
import { type ResearchItem } from "@/types";
import ReactMarkdown from "react-markdown";

interface ResearchProps {
  taskId: string;
}

const Research: React.FC<ResearchProps> = ({ taskId }) => {
  const [researchItems, setResearchItems] = useState<ResearchItem[]>([]);

  const {
    data: fetchedResearchItems,
    isLoading,
    error,
  } = api.events.getResearchItems.useQuery({ taskId });

  useEffect(() => {
    if (fetchedResearchItems) {
      setResearchItems(fetchedResearchItems);
    }
  }, [fetchedResearchItems]);

  if (isLoading)
    return <div className="text-center">Loading research items...</div>;
  if (error)
    return (
      <div className="text-center text-red-500">
        Error loading research items
      </div>
    );

  return (
    <div className="space-y-4">
      <h2 className="mb-4 text-2xl font-bold">Research</h2>
      {researchItems.length === 0 ? (
        <p>No research items found for this task.</p>
      ) : (
        researchItems.map((item, index) => (
          <div key={index} className="rounded-lg bg-white p-4 shadow">
            <h3 className="mb-2 text-lg font-semibold">{item.question}</h3>
            <div className="prose max-w-none">
              <ReactMarkdown>{item.answer}</ReactMarkdown>
            </div>
          </div>
        ))
      )}
    </div>
  );
};

export default Research;

The code produced by o1 is quite good. Notice that sonnet takes the unnecessary step of useState when it's not needed for react query. Both handle errors well but o1 feels slightly better (using the isError bool instead of the error string, checking that researchItems exists). Designs are similar but Sonnet is trying harder to make something look nice (using the rounded corners and shadows to make cards vs just a list of text). Both incorrectly imported the api path but I don't believe that specific path was provided in the context. Original PR is here, I'll update JACoB with o1 in the next 24 hours to see how it performs in an agent workflow: https://github.com/kleneway/jacob/pull/84/files

o1 is better, but it is also much better at describing its reasoning. Makes me think - if it can so clearly reason, can it be persuaded towards an outcome you want by reasoning tactics, i.e. rather than describing the steps of solving a problem like how we do right now, we tell it where it failed and why, and it should self-correct much better
