Adding features to existing projects #21
Description
I'm loving autocoder, and I've already used it to build an MVP.
I'd like to be able to use it to add features to existing projects. Perhaps even integrating with GitHub to select issues that can be used as the starting point for a conversation leading to spec and features, etc.
Is this something you would consider?

PR #28 addresses this! It enables the assistant chat to create features on existing projects through natural conversation.
After the initial spec creation, you can now open the assistant (press A or click the chat bubble) and say things like:
The features appear immediately on the kanban board.
Regarding GitHub issues integration - that's an interesting idea! The assistant could potentially be extended to fetch issues and convert them to features. Would make a great follow-up enhancement.

Thanks @connor-tyndall, i might suggest making it harder to click out of that assistant. I've done so about 4 times within the first 20 minutes of using this. Each time it effectively clears whatever you were working on.

@petrogad I've addressed this in #45

@connor-tyndall Thanks, however I think I could have explained my request more clearly. I didn’t mean to add to an existing autocoder project, I meant using auto coder on a project/repo/app which already exists.
