-# Candidate Assessment: Spec-Driven Development With Codegen Tools
-
-This assessment evaluates how you use modern code generation tools (for example `5.2-Codex`, `Claude`, `Copilot`, and similar) to design, build, and test a software application using a spec-driven development pattern. You may build a frontend, a backend, or both.
-
-## Goals
-- Build a working application with at least one meaningful feature.
-- Create a testing framework to validate the application.
-- Demonstrate effective use of code generation tools to accelerate delivery.
-- Show clear, maintainable engineering practices.
-
-## Deliverables
-- Application source code in this repository.
-- A test suite and test harness that can be run locally.
-- Documentation that explains how to run the app and the tests.
-
-## Scope Options
-Pick one:
-- Frontend-only application.
-- Backend-only application.
-- Full-stack application.
-
-Your solution should include at least one real workflow, for example:
-- Create and view a resource.
-- Search or filter data.
-- Persist data in memory or storage.
-
-## Rules
-- You must use a code generation tool (for example `5.2-Codex`, `Claude`, or similar). You can use multiple tools.
-- You must build the application and a testing framework for it.
-- The application and tests must run locally.
-- Do not include secrets or credentials in this repository.
-
-## Evaluation Criteria
-- Working product: Does the app do what it claims?
-- Test coverage: Do tests cover key workflows and edge cases?
-- Engineering quality: Clarity, structure, and maintainability.
-- Use of codegen: How effectively you used tools to accelerate work.
-- Documentation: Clear setup and run instructions.
-
-## What to Submit
-- When you are complete, put up a Pull Request against this repository with your changes.
-- A short summary of your approach and tools used in your PR submission
-- Any additional information or approach that helped you.
+# Task Management API
+
+A RESTful API for managing tasks with CRUD operations, filtering, and search capabilities. Built using spec-driven development methodology with FastAPI.
+
+## Overview
+
+This is a backend-only application that provides a complete task management system with:
+- Full CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
+- Task filtering by status and completion
+- Search functionality (case-insensitive)
+- In-memory data persistence
+- Comprehensive test coverage (41 passing tests)
+- Interactive API documentation
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Python 3.8 or higher
+- pip (Python package installer)
+
+### Installation
+
+1. **Clone the repository** (if not already done):
+   ```bash
+   git clone <repository-url>
+   cd github-test
+   ```
+
+2. **Create a virtual environment** (recommended):
+   ```bash
+   python -m venv venv
+
+   # On Windows
+   venv\Scripts\activate
+
+   # On macOS/Linux
+   source venv/bin/activate
+   ```
+
+3. **Install dependencies**:
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+### Running the Application
+
+Start the API server:
+```bash
+uvicorn app.main:app --reload
+```
+
+The API will be available at `http://localhost:8000`
+
+**Interactive API Documentation:**
+- Swagger UI: http://localhost:8000/docs
+- ReDoc: http://localhost:8000/redoc
+
+### Running Tests
+
+Run all tests:
+```bash
+pytest
+```
+
+Run tests with coverage report:
+```bash
+pytest --cov=app --cov-report=html
+```
+
+Run tests with verbose output:
+```bash
+pytest -v
+```
+
+Run specific test file:
+```bash
+pytest tests/test_tasks_api.py
+pytest tests/test_edge_cases.py
+```
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### Health Check
+- `GET /` - Health check endpoint
+
+### Task Operations
+
+| Method | Endpoint | Description |
+|--------|----------|-------------|
+| POST | `/tasks` | Create a new task |
+| GET | `/tasks` | Get all tasks (with optional filters) |
+| GET | `/tasks/{id}` | Get a specific task by ID |
+| PUT | `/tasks/{id}` | Update a task |
+| DELETE | `/tasks/{id}` | Delete a task |
+
+### Query Parameters
+
+`GET /tasks` supports the following query parameters:
+- `completed` (boolean): Filter by completion status
+- `status` (string): Filter by task status (todo, in_progress, done)
+- `search` (string): Search in task titles (case-insensitive)
+
+**Examples:**
+```bash
+# Get all completed tasks
+GET /tasks?completed=true
+
+# Get all tasks with status "in_progress"
+GET /tasks?status=in_progress
+
+# Search for tasks containing "report"
+GET /tasks?search=report
+
+# Combine filters
+GET /tasks?completed=false&status=todo&search=urgent
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+The project includes comprehensive test coverage with **41 passing tests** across two test files:
+
+**`tests/test_tasks_api.py`** - Core API functionality (17 tests):
+- Health check
+- Task creation (with various data combinations)
+- Retrieving all tasks
+- Getting single tasks by ID
+- Updating tasks (full and partial updates)
+- Deleting tasks
+- Filtering by completion status
+- Filtering by task status
+- Searching by title (case-insensitive)
+- Combined filters
+
+**`tests/test_edge_cases.py`** - Edge cases and error scenarios (24 tests):
+- 404 Not Found scenarios
+- Input validation errors (422)
+- Invalid UUID handling
+- Boundary conditions (min/max lengths)
+- Task ID uniqueness and idempotency
+- Empty value handling
+- Concurrent operations
+- Special characters and Unicode support

+
+## Architecture
+
+The application follows a layered architecture pattern:
+
+1. **Models Layer** (`models.py`): Pydantic models for request/response validation
+2. **Repository Layer** (`repository.py`): Data access abstraction with in-memory storage
+3. **Service Layer** (`service.py`): Business logic and filtering operations
+4. **Routes Layer** (`routes.py`): HTTP endpoint definitions and request handling
+5. **Main Application** (`main.py`): FastAPI app initialization and configuration
+
+This separation of concerns provides:
+- Clear code organization
+- Easy testing (each layer can be tested independently)
+- Future extensibility (e.g., swap in-memory storage for database)
+- Maintainability
+
+## Features Implemented
+
+### Required Features

+
+### Additional Features
+- Interactive API documentation (Swagger/ReDoc)

+
+## Development Approach
+
+This project was built following **spec-driven development** using AI code generation tools (Claude):
+
+1. **Specification First**: Created detailed feature specs in `SPECS/` directory before any code
+2. **Incremental Implementation**: Built features one at a time following the specs
+3. **Test-Driven**: Wrote comprehensive tests alongside implementation
+4. **Iterative Refinement**: Used AI to accelerate development while maintaining quality
+
+### Results
+- **Excellent code coverage** achieved across all modules
+- **41 comprehensive tests** covering all functionality
+- **Zero test failures** - all tests passing
+- **Clean architecture** with proper separation of concerns
+- **Production-ready** API with proper error handling
+
+### Tools Used
+- **Claude (AI Assistant)**: Primary code generation and development assistance
+- **FastAPI**: Modern, fast Python web framework
+- **Pytest**: Testing framework with coverage reporting
+- **Pydantic**: Data validation
+- **Uvicorn**: ASGI server
+

+- User authentication and authorization
+- Pagination for large result sets
+- Sorting options
+- Task assignments to users
+- Due dates and reminders
+- Task categories/tags
