AI-Generated Project

This project was entirely generated using AI assistance:

• AI Model: Claude 3.5 Sonnet (Anthropic)
• Development Environment: GitHub Copilot Workspace
• Initial User Requirements:

  "I need a one-time tool that will let me quickly generate a CSV containing every known card and expansion, with the quantities that each card that I have. I have the cards organized alphabetically by expansion and the priority should be on speed of entry."

The development process involved:

1. Database Creation: Authentic card data was extracted from ccgtrader.net HTML files using PowerShell regex patterns, correcting initial hallucinated data
2. Speed-Focused Design: Keyboard shortcuts and sequential entry workflow optimized for rapid data collection
3. Feature Evolution: Started with basic CSV export, evolved to include import functionality and expansion navigation
4. Iterative Refinement: Multiple rounds of testing and improvement based on user feedback

All 617 cards across 5 expansions (Premier Edition, Dark Prophecies, Children of the Dragon, Cycles, and Promo Cards) were verified against authentic sources to ensure accuracy.
