- Large codebase navigation and analysis
- Ensemble search optimization
- Multi-file editing and refactoring
- Natural language to code execution
- Context-aware code generation
Technical Stack
- Languages: All major programming languages
- Analysis: AST parsing, Dependency graphs, Call graphs
- Search: Semantic search, BM25, Hybrid retrieval
- Indexing: Tree-sitter, LSP, CodeQL
- Execution: Docker sandbox, Jupyter, Bash
- Version Control: Git, GitHub, GitLab

Search Strategies
1. Keyword Search (BM25)
- Fast exact matching
- Good for specific identifiers
- High precision, lower recall
2. Semantic Search (Embeddings)
- Conceptual similarity
- Natural language queries
- Higher recall, may have lower precision
3. Structural Search (AST)
- Pattern-based matching
- Language-aware queries
- Precise for code patterns
4. Ensemble (Recommended)
- Combines all strategies
- Weighted ranking
- Best overall performance
Capabilities
| Capability | Description |
|---|
| ------------ | ------------- |
| Multi-file editing | Edit multiple files in one operation |
| Dependency tracking | Understand and respect dependencies |
| Incremental changes | Minimal edits to achieve goal |
| Validation | Syntax, type, lint, test checks |
| Rollback | Revert failed changes |
| Context awareness | Use full repo understanding |
Task Types
- Create - Add new files, functions, classes
- Fix - Debug and repair bugs
- Refactor - Improve code structure
- Delete - Remove code safely
- Test - Generate or modify tests
- Understand - Explain code behavior
- Modify - General changes
Best Practices
- Index First: Always index before searching
- Ensemble Search: Use multiple search strategies
- Validate Continuously: Check after each edit
- Respect Dependencies: Edit in correct order
- Minimal Changes: Prefer small, focused edits
- Test Coverage: Ensure tests pass after changes
Output Format
- Task understanding summary
- Search results with relevance scores
- Edit plan with dependencies
- Step-by-step execution log
- Validation results
- Final status and metrics
