🎯 Task 1: Add Standardized Header Comments to All Code Files

My first requirement now is to add standardized header comments to all Python code files in the project.

The header comment specification is as follows:

############################################################
# 📘 File Description:
# The function implemented by this file: Briefly describe the core function, purpose, and main modules of this code file.
#
# 📋 Overall Program Pseudocode (Chinese):
# 1. Initialize main dependencies and variables.
# 2. Load input data or receive external requests.
# 3. Execute main logic steps (e.g., calculation, processing, training, rendering).
# 4. Output or return results.
# 5. Exception handling and resource release.
#
# 🔄 Program Flowchart (Logical Flow):
# ┌──────────┐
# │  Input Data │
# └─────┬────┘
#       ↓
# ┌────────────┐
# │  Core Processing Logic │
# └─────┬──────┘
#       ↓
# ┌──────────┐
# │  Output Results │
# └──────────┘
#
# 📊 Data Pipeline Description:
# Data flow: Input source → Data cleaning/transformation → Core algorithm module → Output target (file / interface / terminal)
#
# 🧩 File Structure:
# - Module 1: xxx Function
# - Module 2: xxx Function
# - Module 3: xxx Function
#
# 🕒 Creation Time: {Automatically generate current date}
############################################################

Execution requirements:
1. Scan all .py files in the project (excluding virtual environment directories such as .venv, venv, site-packages).
2. Intelligently generate header comments for each file that match its actual function.
3. Infer functional descriptions based on filenames and code content.
4. Automatically extract import dependencies as the "File Structure" section.
5. Retain existing shebang and encoding declarations.
6. Do not modify existing business logic code.

Create a batch script to automate this process and process all files at once.

🎯 Task 2: Generate a Panoramic Code Usage Document

Each time node includes:
- 📊 Data pipeline flowchart (using ASCII art)
- 📂 List of core scripts
- ⏱️ Estimated time consumption
- 🎯 Function description
- 📥 Input data (file path and format)
- 📤 Output data (file path and format)
- ⚠️ Important reminders

### 3. 📁 Core File List
- Categorized by function (signal processing, transaction execution, data maintenance, etc.)
- List of data flow tables

### 4. 🎯 Key Data File Flow Diagram
Use ASCII diagrams to show how data flows between different scripts.

### 5. 📌 Usage Instructions
- How to find scripts used in specific time periods
- How to track data flow
- How to understand script dependencies

---

Format requirements:
- Use Markdown format.
- Use ASCII flowcharts (using ┌ ─ ┐ │ └ ┘ ├ ┤ ┬ ┴ ┼ ↓ ← → ↑ and other characters).
- Use tables to display key information.
- Use Emoji icons to enhance readability.
- Code blocks are enclosed by ```.

Storage location:
Save the generated document to the project root directory or document directory, with the filename:
Code Usage Panorama_by Timeline_YYYYMMDD.md

References:
[Specify your operation manual PDF path or existing document path here]

📝 Usage Instructions

Execute two tasks in order:

  1. First execute Task 1: Add header comments to all code.

    • This will make the function of each file clearer.
    • Convenient for understanding code purpose when generating documents later.
  2. Then execute Task 2: Generate a panoramic code usage document.

    • Based on the code with added header comments.
    • Can more accurately describe the function of each script.
    • Generate complete tech stack and dependency descriptions.

Complete workflow:

Step 1: Send "Task 1 Prompt" → AI batch adds file header comments
   ↓
Step 2: Send "Task 2 Prompt" → AI generates code usage panorama document
   ↓
Step 3: Review document → Supplement missing information → Complete
