Re: Connecting AI to Livecode


Hi Jeff, could you kindly remove the link to that repo, it is a "competing" project and I believe discussion is not allowed. However, you should be able to install this without the extension manager at all.

Sure, I have removed the link.

Thank you for the explanation and notes. I will see how ...

Re: Connecting AI to Livecode

Thanks, Brian, for the link to Script Tracker. I pointed Claude to your link, and "he" thinks it could be adapted for my requirements.

I'll report back on what happens. :-)

Re: Connecting AI to Livecode

Thanks so much for posting this MCPBridge. What you describe is basically exactly what I'm looking for.

When I try to install this on LC 11 Create Classic, however, I get the error: "extension missing from widget/org.openxtalk.plugin.mcpbridge.0.2.7-rc.6"

Thanks again for posting this.

Connecting AI to Livecode

For any of you using AI with Livecode, I'm curious how you are connecting your AI to your code? Livecode's binary stacks are proprietary, so Claude (the AI I'm using) can't read them. So when I use Claude to help me with a programming task, it writes code to a text file which I copy into the stack ...

Re: Checking Code in Scripts

If anyone is interested, I've worked with Claude to beef up this utility a good deal. I've added IDs to the exports so you never get any collisions even when you have controls with the same name. I've torture tested it and I've had Claude torture test it as well, and it seems to handle everything ...

android errors when user shakes

Is anyone seeing a problem with android apps when the user shakes? I'm seeing this error in my Google Play dashboard a lot with my latest version:
[base.apk] com.runrev.android.Engine$2.onShake

My app does not have any motion listeners, so it's not my code dying. It looks like Android hands the ...

Re: Checking Code in Scripts

Dear Trevix,

I'm glad the stack was useful to you. You are right about its limitations. I wrote it to create the One Big File of all the code that I could feed that into Claude for analysis. Saving the scripts separately either in a flat file or directory structure was an afterthought (and it shows ...

Digest?

Anyone know what's happened to the digest function of the forum? If you click on "Digests" tab in the User Control Panel (https://forums.livecode.com/ucp.php?i=241) it throws 500 server error. I keep expecting this to get fixed shortly, but at this point I don't think it has worked in over a month ...

replacing a default livecode extension

The Create Classic segmented control has a new design feature where the control's hilite color is assigned lower Alpha values when it's not in focus. (https://discourse.livecode.com/t/colors-of-a-segmented-control/311) I'm sure some folks really like this, but it doesn't look right to me. So I ...

tsnet on Android

Has anyone used tsnet on android with public/private keys for SFTP transfers successfully? It works fine on Windows, but on Android, it always fails with an "Authentication failure" error. I have set "ssh_private_key" and "username" in the tsnet settings and confirmed that the "ssh_private_key" path ...

Checking Code in Scripts

I've been wanting to do a series of checks on my code like making sure that all queries are parameterized, database calls are checked for success or failure, etc. I started by searching for every "revDataFromQuery" (for example) in the code and then going to that script and checking it manually, but ...

Re: Displaying HTML in DataGrid (table mode) – supported or not?

I do not believe that you can do this in Table mode for a DataGrid. But you can definitely do it in Form mode. Since you put "normal" livecode fields into a form, in your datagrid script to populate the form, you can assign the htmltext of the field just like you can any livecode field.

So if the ...
