# Socratic Lens - Setup Guide

This project is a Next.js application that uses Google's Gemini API to function as an "Ethical Tutor" or "Socratic Lens". It features a beautiful "Pixel OS" aesthetic and implements the logic defined in your prompt.

## Prerequisites
1.  **Google Gemini API Key**: You need an API key. Get it from [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/).

## Quick Start

### 1. Configure API Key
Create a new file named `.env.local` in the `socratic-lens` folder. Add your API key:

```bash
# In /home/ig0034/Documents/Task_2_24_12_2025/socratic-lens/.env.local
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_actual_api_key_here
```

### 2. Run the Development Server
Open your terminal in the `socratic-lens` directory and run:

```bash
cd socratic-lens
npm run dev
```

### 3. Open in Browser
Visit [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).

## Project Structure
*   **`src/app/page.tsx`**: The main frontend logic (Upload UI + Result Renderer).
*   **`src/app/api/analyze/route.ts`**: The backend API that connects to Gemini.
*   **`src/prompts/system_prompt.md`**: The brain of the AI (Ethical Tutor Persona).
*   **`src/app/globals.css`**: Tailwind v4 + Custom styles for the Pixel look.

## Usage
1.  **Upload an Image**: Take a screenshot of a math problem or a complex paragraph.
2.  **Click Analyze**: The AI will process it using the "Socratic Lens" rules.
3.  **Learn**: See the beautiful, structured output that guides you without cheating.
