| 准确率 | ~60-70% | ~90-95% | 颠覆性的 |
Knox 的优势
Knox 不仅仅是检索代码——它理解代码:
// Traditional RAG sees this as text:
"function calculateTotal(items: Item[]): number { ... }"
// Knox understands:
{
entity: "calculateTotal",
type: "Function",
parameters: [{ name: "items", type: "Item[]" }],
returnType: "number",
calls: ["validateItems", "applyDiscounts", "computeTax"],
calledBy: ["checkout", "orderSummary"],
complexity: 12,
patterns: ["StrategyPattern", "ValidatorPattern"],
evolution: {
created: "2025-10-01",
modifications: 7,
hotspot: true,
refactored: ["ExtractMethod", "SimplifyConditionals"]
},
relationships: {
dependsOn: ["Item", "TaxCalculator", "DiscountService"],
usedBy: ["OrderProcessor", "InvoiceGenerator"]
}
}
系统架构
高层概览
Knox 实现了一个分层智能架构,每一层都建立在前一层之上,创造前所未有的代码理解能力:

核心组件详解
1. Tree-Sitter 解析引擎(tree_sitter_integration.rs)
Knox 理解能力的基础:支持多种语言的真正 AST 解析。
支持的语言:
- TypeScript/JavaScript(完整 ES2024 支持)
- Rust(带宏展开)
- Python(2.x 和 3.x)
- Go(带泛型)
- Java(至 Java 21)
能力:
pub struct TreeSitterParser {
// Extract complete code structure
functions: Vec<FunctionDefinition>, // All functions with signatures
classes: Vec<ClassDefinition>, // Classes with inheritance
interfaces: Vec<InterfaceDefinition>, // Interface contracts
types: Vec<TypeDefinition>, // Custom types/aliases
imports: Vec<ImportStatement>, // All dependencies
exports: Vec<ExportStatement>, // Public API surface
// Build relationships
call_graph: CallGraph, // Function call chains
dependency_tree: DependencyTree, // Import dependencies
inheritance_hierarchy: ClassHierarchy, // OOP relationships
}
性能:
- TypeScript/JavaScript: ~1,000 LOC/秒
- Rust: ~800 LOC/秒
- Python: ~1,200 LOC/秒
- 增量解析: 更新时快 10-100 倍
关键创新: 与基于正则的解析器不同,Knox 使用语言服务器自身的解析逻辑,确保与语言语义 100% 准确。
核心功能深入
2. 知识图谱引擎(knowledge_graph.rs)
Knox 关系理解的核心:一个以前所未有的细节映射代码关系的属性图。
节点类型(8 种):
pub enum NodeType {
Function, // Functions and methods
Class, // Classes and structs
Interface, // Interfaces and traits
Type, // Type aliases and definitions
Variable, // Global variables and constants
Constant, // Compile-time constants
Module, // Modules and namespaces
File, // File-level metadata
}
边类型(14 种关系类型):
pub enum EdgeType {
// Direct relationships
Calls, // Function A calls Function B
CalledBy, // Reverse call relationship
Imports, // Module A imports Module B
ImportedBy, // Reverse import relationship
// OOP relationships
Extends, // Class inheritance
Implements, // Interface implementation
// Data flow relationships
Uses, // Uses a variable/constant
UsedBy, // Used by another entity
Defines, // Defines a type/constant
DefinedIn, // Where defined
// Logical relationships
References, // References another entity
ReferencedBy, // Referenced by others
DependsOn, // Logical dependency
DependencyOf, // Reverse dependency
// Containment
Contains, // Module contains class
ContainedIn, // Class contained in module
}
图操作:
-
路径查找 - 找出组件如何连接:
// Find shortest path between any two symbols
let path = graph.find_shortest_path("UserService", "Database");
// Result: ["UserService" -> "Repository" -> "DatabaseAdapter" -> "Database"] -
调用链分析 - 理解执行流程:
// Get complete call chains from entry point
let chains = graph.get_call_chains_from("handleRequest", max_depth: 5);
// Result: All possible execution paths through the code -
循环依赖检测 - 防止架构问题:
// Uses Tarjan's algorithm (O(V + E))
let cycles = graph.find_circular_dependencies();
// Result: ["ModuleA" <-> "ModuleB", "ClassX" <-> "ClassY"] -
中心性分析 - 识别关键代码:
// Calculate betweenness centrality
let critical_nodes = graph.calculate_centrality_metrics();
// Result: Nodes ranked by importance in the graph
为什么这很重要:
✅ 像开发者一样导航:跟踪导入、查找实现、追踪调用 ✅ 理解影响:知道变更某处时什么会中断 ✅ 检测模式:自动识别架构模式 ✅ 发现瓶颈:定位高耦合组件
性能:
- 节点查找:O(1) 通过 HashMap
- 边遍历:O(E) 其中 E = 相关边
- 最短路径:O(V + E) 使用 BFS
- 环检测:O(V + E) 使用 Tarjan 算法
3. 时序智能系统(temporal_analyzer.rs)
Knox 不仅看到代码——它理解代码如何以及为何演化。
实体演化追踪:
pub struct EntityEvolution {
entity_id: String,
checkpoint_id: CheckpointId,
timestamp: DateTime<Utc>,
change_type: EntityChangeType, // Created, Modified, Deleted, Refactored
entity_state: EntityDefinition,
diff: Option<EntityDiff>, // What specifically changed
}
pub enum EntityChangeType {
Created, // New entity introduced
Modified, // Existing entity changed
Deleted, // Entity removed
Renamed, // Entity renamed
Moved, // Moved to different file/module
Refactored, // Structural refactoring detected
}
模式演化追踪:
pub struct PatternEvolution {
pattern_name: String,
evolution_type: PatternEvolutionType,
checkpoints: Vec<CheckpointId>,
strength_over_time: Vec<(DateTime<Utc>, f64)>,
}
pub enum PatternEvolutionType {
Introduced, // Pattern first appeared
Strengthened, // Pattern more prevalent
Weakened, // Pattern usage decreased
Eliminated, // Pattern completely removed
}
能力:
-
热点检测 - 找到频繁变更的代码:
// Identify code that changes often (technical debt indicator)
let hot_spots = temporal_analyzer.find_hot_spots(min_changes: 5);
// Result: Files/functions changed > 5 times in recent checkpoints -
复杂度预测 - 预测未来问题:
// Predict future complexity based on historical trends
let prediction = temporal_analyzer.predict_future_complexity(
entity: "UserController",
checkpoints: 10,
);
// Result: Complexity trend (increasing/stable/decreasing) + confidence -
趋势分析 - 了解代码库健康状况:
// Analyze trends across multiple metrics
let trends = temporal_analyzer.analyze_trends(window_size: 5);
// Result: {
// complexity: Increasing(+15%),
// coupling: Stable,
// documentation: Improving(+20%),
// test_coverage: Decreasing(-5%)
// } -
架构决策追踪 - 从历史中学习:
// Extract why certain patterns were adopted/abandoned
let decisions = temporal_analyzer.extract_architectural_decisions();
// Result: Timeline of pattern adoptions with context
为什么这很重要:
✅ 理解为什么 - 不仅仅是变更了什么,而是为什么 ✅ 预测问题 - 在技术债务变得严重之前识别 ✅ 从历史学习 - 不要重复过去的错误 ✅ 追踪质量 - 随时间测量代码健康状况
4. 符号解析系统(symbol_resolver.rs)
处理现代代码库复杂性的跨文件符号解析。
功能:
pub struct SymbolResolver {
// Global symbol registry
global_symbols: HashMap<String, SymbolEntry>,
// Module system
module_registry: HashMap<String, Module>,
// Import/export tracking
import_graph: ImportGraph,
// Fully qualified names
fqn_map: HashMap<String, Vec<String>>,
}
能力:
-
跨文件解析:
// Resolve "UserService" from auth.ts importing from services/
let result = resolver.resolve_symbol(
"UserService",
Path::new("src/auth.ts"),
&["services", "../lib"]
);
// Result: Full path, definition, and all references -
完整调用图构建:
// Build complete project call graph
let call_graph = resolver.build_complete_call_graph()?;
// Result: Every function call in the entire project -
循环依赖检测:
// Find import cycles
let cycles = resolver.detect_circular_dependencies()?;
// Result: ["a.ts" -> "b.ts" -> "c.ts" -> "a.ts"] -
查找所有引用:
// Find every usage of a symbol
let refs = resolver.find_all_references("UserModel");
// Result: Every file, line, and context where used
为什么这很重要:
✅ 准确重构 - 准确知道什么会中断 ✅ 依赖管理 - 理解您的依赖树 ✅ 架构验证 - 确保层边界被遵守 ✅ 影响分析 - 计算变更的波纹效应
5. 智能上下文排序(context_ranker.rs)
ML 驱动的上下文选择,将最相关的信息放入 token 限制内。
多因子评分:
pub struct RankingConfig {
max_tokens: usize, // Hard token limit
relevance_weight: f64, // 0.4 - Match to query
importance_weight: f64, // 0.2 - Structural importance
recency_weight: f64, // 0.2 - Temporal relevance
centrality_weight: f64, // 0.2 - Graph centrality
diversity_weight: f64, // Bonus for variety
}
评分算法:
// Composite score calculation
rank_score =
relevance_score * 0.4 + // How well it matches query
importance_score * 0.2 + // How important structurally
recency_score * 0.2 + // How recently modified
centrality_score * 0.2 + // Position in knowledge graph
diversity_bonus // Bonus for file/type variety
相关性计算:
- 直接匹配:实体名称包含查询词(+0.4)
- 模糊匹配:相似的实体名称(+0.3)
- 同文件:与查询实体在同一文件中(+0.2)
- 调用链:在查询的调用链中(+0.1)
重要性计算:
- 公共可见性:公共 API 表面(+0.3)
- 文档完善:有完整文档(+0.2)
- 高度数:图中有许多连接(+0.3)
- 测试覆盖:经过良好测试的代码(+0.2)
中心性计算:
- 介数中心性:关键连接组件(+0.5)
- PageRank:在依赖图中的重要性(+0.3)
- 度数:连接数量(+0.2)
选择算法:
// Greedy selection with diversity constraints
fn greedy_selection_with_diversity(
ranked_items: Vec<RankedContext>,
token_budget: usize,
) -> (Vec<Included>, Vec<Excluded>) {
// 1. Sort by rank score (descending)
// 2. Add highest-scoring items first
// 3. Apply diversity bonus for new files/types
// 4. Stop when budget exhausted
// Result: Maximum information density
}
查询类型优化:
match query_type {
"implementation" => {
relevance_weight = 0.5; // Focus on matching code
centrality_weight = 0.3; // Include key dependencies
},
"debugging" => {
relevance_weight = 0.6; // Exact error location
recency_weight = 0.3; // Recent changes
},
"architecture" => {
centrality_weight = 0.5; // Core components
diversity_weight = 0.3; // Broad overview
},
"refactoring" => {
relevance_weight = 0.4; // Target code
centrality_weight = 0.4; // Impact analysis
},
}
为什么这很重要:
✅ 最大化信息 - 用更少的 token 获取最相关的上下文 ✅ 避免冗余 - 不在相似代码上浪费 token ✅ 适应查询 - 不同查询需要不同上下文 ✅ 保持预算 - 永远不超过 token 限制
高级智能功能
6. 模式检测引擎(pattern_detector.rs)

- 过大类:类 > 300 行
- 过长参数列表:函数 > 5 个参数
- 特性嫉妒:方法使用其他类多于自己的类
- 数据类:仅有 getter/setter 的类
检测示例:
let pattern = DetectedPattern {
pattern_name: "God Object",
pattern_type: PatternType::GodObject,
confidence: 0.92,
entities: vec![PatternEntity {
name: "UserManager",
role: "God Object",
location: CodeLocation { ... }
}],
description: "Class with 47 methods, 23 fields, 15 dependencies",
benefits: vec![],
drawbacks: vec![
"Violates Single Responsibility Principle",
"Hard to maintain and test",
"High coupling"
],
recommendation: Some(PatternRecommendation {
action: RecommendationAction::Refactor,
reasoning: "Split into cohesive classes",
implementation_steps: vec![
"Identify related method groups",
"Extract groups into separate classes",
"Use composition instead of monolith"
],
estimated_effort: EffortLevel::High,
}),
}
7. 代码克隆检测(clone_detector.rs)
4 类克隆检测,识别重复的代码模式:
克隆类型:
- 类型 1 - 精确克隆:逐字符复制
- 类型 2 - 重命名克隆:相同结构,不同标识符
- 类型 3 - 近似克隆:相似但有小修改
- 类型 4 - 语义克隆:相同功能,不同实现
配置:
pub struct CloneDetectionConfig {
min_tokens: usize, // 50 - minimum tokens to consider
min_lines: usize, // 6 - minimum lines to consider
similarity_threshold: f64, // 0.85 - 85% similarity required
enable_type1: bool, // Exact clones
enable_type2: bool, // Renamed clones
enable_type3: bool, // Near-miss clones
enable_type4: bool, // Semantic clones (ML-based)
}
检测结果:
pub struct CloneDetectionResult {
total_clones: 47,
code_duplication_percentage: 12.3, // 12.3% of code is duplicated
clones_by_type: {
Type1Exact: 15,
Type2Renamed: 20,
Type3NearMiss: 12,
},
refactoring_opportunities: vec![
RefactoringOpportunity {
description: "Extract 5 similar validation functions",
affected_files: ["auth.ts", "user.ts", "admin.ts"],
estimated_effort: EffortLevel::Medium,
estimated_impact: ImpactLevel::High,
priority: Priority::High,
}
],
}
8. 流分析引擎(flow_analyzer.rs)
用于深度理解的**控制流图(CFG)和数据流图(DFG)**构建。
控制流图:
pub struct ControlFlowGraph {
entry_node: String,
exit_nodes: Vec<String>,
nodes: HashMap<String, CFGNode>,
edges: Vec<CFGEdge>,
basic_blocks: Vec<BasicBlock>,
}
pub enum CFGNodeType {
Entry, // Function entry point
Exit, // Function exit
Statement, // Regular statement
Condition, // if/switch condition
Loop, // Loop header
Branch, // Branch point
Call, // Function call
Return, // Return statement
}
数据流图:
pub struct DataFlowGraph {
nodes: HashMap<String, DFGNode>,
edges: Vec<DFGEdge>,
definitions: HashMap<String, Vec<Definition>>, // Where variables are defined
uses: HashMap<String, Vec<Use>>, // Where variables are used
}
pub enum DFGEdgeType {
DefUse, // Definition to use
UseDef, // Use to definition
DefDef, // Definition to definition (kill)
}
分析能力:
- 死代码检测:不可达的代码路径
- 空指针分析:潜在的空引用
- 未初始化变量:在定义前使用的变量
- 不可达代码:永远无法执行的代码
- 安全漏洞:SQL 注入、XSS 模式
9. 类型推断系统(type_inferencer.rs)
用于动态语言(JavaScript、Python)的 ML 驱动类型推断:
类型系统:
pub enum TypeKind {
Primitive(PrimitiveType), // string, number, boolean, etc.
Class(String), // User-defined classes
Interface(String), // Interface types
Union(Vec<String>), // string | number
Intersection(Vec<String>), // Type1 & Type2
Array(Box<TypeKind>), // Array<T>
Tuple(Vec<TypeKind>), // [string, number]
Function(FunctionType), // (a: string) => number
Generic(String, Vec<TypeKind>), // Map<string, number>
Unknown, // Can't infer
Any, // Explicit any
Never, // Bottom type
}
推断算法:
// Infer types through:
1. Explicit annotations
2. Assignment analysis
3. Function call analysis
4. Property access patterns
5. Return statement analysis
6. Control flow narrowing
7. Usage pattern matching
示例:
// JavaScript (no type annotations)
function processUser(user) {
console.log(user.name);
return user.age * 2;
}
// Knox infers:
// user: { name: string, age: number, ... }
// returns: number
// Confidence: 0.87
10. 多层缓存系统(context_cache.rs)
5 层 LRU 缓存带来显著的性能提升:
缓存层:
pub struct ContextCache {
// Layer 1: Semantic context (medium-term, 1000 items)
semantic_cache: LruCache<String, SemanticContext>,
// Layer 2: Query results (short-term, 500 items)
query_cache: LruCache<String, CompleteAIContext>,
// Layer 3: AST cache (long-term, 2000 items)
ast_cache: LruCache<String, AST>,
// Layer 4: Relationship graph (medium-term, 300 items)
relationship_cache: LruCache<String, RelationshipGraph>,
// Layer 5: Relevance scores (short-term, 1000 items)
relevance_cache: LruCache<String, RelevanceScore>,
}
缓存策略:
- TTL:语义(60 分钟)、查询(30 分钟)、AST(120 分钟)、关系(60 分钟)、相关性(15 分钟)
- 淘汰策略:LRU(最近最少使用)
- 失效:基于文件哈希,增量方式
- 预热:基于模式的预测性预加载
性能影响:
- 缓存命中率:典型 ~75%
- 速度提升:缓存查询快 10-50 倍
- 内存使用:大型项目典型 ~500MB
11. 自适应学习系统(AdaptiveLearningSystem.ts)
通过用户反馈和结果追踪实现持续改进:
学习流程:
1. Track Interaction
├─> Query + Context provided
├─> AI Response
├─> User Feedback (helpful/not helpful)
└─> Outcome (success/failure)
2. Analyze Interaction
├─> What made it successful/unsuccessful?
├─> Context quality assessment
├─> Response quality assessment
└─> Generate learning insights
3. Update Models
├─> Adjust relevance scoring weights
├─> Update context selection preferences
├─> Refine query expansion rules
└─> Improve pattern detection
4. Measure Effectiveness
├─> Track success rate over time
├─> Monitor context quality metrics
└─> Calculate ROI of improvements
反馈循环:
interface UserFeedback {
was_helpful: boolean,
context_relevance_rating: 1-5, // How relevant was context?
context_completeness_rating: 1-5, // Was anything missing?
response_quality_rating: 1-5, // How good was AI response?
specific_feedback: string,
improvement_suggestions: string[],
}
// System learns from:
- Thumbs up/down on responses
- What context was actually used by AI
- Whether task was completed successfully
- Time to completion
- Follow-up queries (indicates incomplete context)
学习成果:
- 相关性提升:1000 次交互后 +15%
- 上下文质量:完整性评分 +20%
- 用户满意度:有帮助的响应 +25%
- 查询理解:意图准确率 +30%
12. 预测性上下文加载器(PredictiveContextLoader.ts)
预测和预加载可能的后续查询以实现即时响应:
预测来源:
- 顺序模式:查询 A 之后,80% 会问查询 B
- 主题聚类:相关查询分组
- 用户历史:个人用户模式
- 时间模式:常见工作流程
- ML 预测:用于查询预测的神经网络
示例:
// User asks: "How does authentication work?"
// System predicts likely follow-ups:
predictions = [
{ query: "How do I add a new auth provider?", confidence: 0.85 },
{ query: "Where is the session stored?", confidence: 0.78 },
{ query: "How do I customize the login page?", confidence: 0.72 },
{ query: "What's the token expiration time?", confidence: 0.68 },
]
// Preload context for top 2-3 predictions
// Result: Instant response when user asks predicted query
影响:
- 响应时间:预测查询 <100ms(vs 2-5s)
- 预测准确率:~65% 的下一个查询被预测到
- 用户体验:感觉即时且响应迅速
13. 协作上下文管理器(CollaborativeContextManager.ts)
团队级上下文共享和同步:
功能:
// Share insights with team
shareContextWithTeam(
context: AIContextCheckpoint,
teamId: "engineering",
shareOptions: {
include_explanations: true,
include_examples: true,
notify_team: true,
}
);
// Sync context across team members
syncContextRealTime(
sessionId: "refactor-auth-2025",
participants: ["alice", "bob", "charlie"],
syncOptions: {
real_time: true,
conflict_resolution: "merge",
encryption: true,
}
);
// Learn from team patterns
teamPatterns = analyzeTeamPatterns(teamId);
// Result: Common queries, shared workflows, team best practices
优势:
- 知识共享:团队成员受益于彼此的上下文
- 入职培训:新成员获得团队积累的知识
- 一致性:对代码库的共同理解
- 效率:避免冗余的上下文构建

示例 3:知识图谱 - 导航代码关系
// Rust - Using knowledge graph for code navigation
let graph = KnowledgeGraph::new();
// Graph is automatically populated from parsed code
// Now we can query relationships
// Find how two components are connected
let path = graph.find_shortest_path("UserController", "Database");
// Result:
[
"UserController"
-> (calls) -> "UserService"
-> (uses) -> "UserRepository"
-> (depends_on) -> "DatabaseAdapter"
-> (connects_to) -> "Database"
]
// Get complete call chain from entry point
let chains = graph.get_call_chains_from("handleLoginRequest", max_depth: 5);
// Result: All possible execution paths
[
Chain 1: handleLoginRequest → validateInput → login → generateToken → saveSession,
Chain 2: handleLoginRequest → validateInput → login → generateToken → sendWelcomeEmail,
Chain 3: handleLoginRequest → validateInput → login → updateLastLogin → logActivity,
// ... all paths mapped
]
// Detect circular dependencies (architectural smell!)
let cycles = graph.find_circular_dependencies();
// Result:
[
["ModuleA" -> "ModuleB" -> "ModuleC" -> "ModuleA"], // Circular dependency!
["ClassX" -> "ClassY" -> "ClassX"], // Tight coupling!
]
// Calculate centrality - find most important components
let critical_nodes = graph.calculate_centrality_metrics();
// Result:
[
{ node: "UserService", centrality: 0.94, risk: "High - used everywhere" },
{ node: "Database", centrality: 0.89, risk: "High - bottleneck" },
{ node: "Logger", centrality: 0.76, risk: "Medium - widely used" },
]
示例 4:符号解析 - 跨文件理解
// Rust - Resolving symbols across entire codebase
let resolver = SymbolResolver::new(Arc::new(graph));
// All symbols automatically registered from parsing
// Now resolve symbols across files
// Resolve imported symbol
let result = resolver.resolve_symbol(
"UserService", // Symbol name
Path::new("src/controllers/auth.ts"), // Current file
&["../services", "../../lib"] // Import paths
)?;
// Result:

definition: ClassDefinition { ... },
all_references: [
"src/controllers/auth.ts:line 5",
"src/controllers/user.ts:line 12",
"src/middleware/auth.ts:line 8",
// ... every usage
],
dependencies: ["UserRepository", "JWTService", "EmailService"],
}
// Build complete project call graph
let call_graph = resolver.build_complete_call_graph()?;

{
total_functions: 1247,
total_calls: 4893,
entry_points: ["main", "handleRequest", "initializeApp"],
leaf_functions: ["log", "assert", "formatDate"],
}
// Detect import cycles (can cause bundling issues)
let cycles = resolver.detect_circular_dependencies()?;
// Result:
[
["auth.ts" -> "user.ts" -> "session.ts" -> "auth.ts"], // Fix this!
]
示例 5:上下文排序 - 优化 Token 预算
// Rust - Intelligent context selection
let ranker = ContextRanker::new(Arc::new(graph));
// Configure for specific query type
ranker.optimize_for_query_type("implementation");
// Rank and prune to fit token budget
let pruned = ranker.rank_and_prune(
candidate_entities, // All potentially relevant code
&["login", "authenticate", "session"], // Query entities
Some(8000) // Token budget
)?;
// Result:
{
included_items: [
{
entity: "AuthService.login",
rank_score: 0.94,
relevance_score: 0.98, // Exact match to query
importance_score: 0.92, // Public API, well-documented
centrality_score: 0.89, // Highly connected
estimated_tokens: 342,
inclusion_reason: "high relevance to query, central to codebase",
},
// ... top 15 most relevant entities
],
excluded_items: [
// Lower-priority items that didn't make the cut
],
total_tokens: 7891, // Stayed under 8000 budget
coverage_score: 0.96, // 96% of query entities covered

}
// Expand with related entities using remaining budget
let expanded = ranker.expand_with_related(
&pruned.included_items,
remaining_tokens: 1000
);
// Adds relevant dependencies, callers, and related code
示例 6:端到端工作流程
// Complete workflow: Query → Context → AI Response
// Step 1: User asks a question
const userQuery = "How do I add OAuth2 authentication?";
// Step 2: Analyze query intent
const intent = await intentAnalyzer.analyzeQuery(userQuery);
// Result: { type: "implementation", entities: ["OAuth2", "authentication"], ... }
// Step 3: Expand query with related concepts
const expandedQuery = await queryExpander.expandQuery(userQuery, intent);
// Result: Added entities: ["OAuth", "provider", "token", "redirect"]
// Step 4: Build comprehensive context
const context = await aiContextBuilder.buildContextForQuery(
userQuery,
workspace,
maxTokens: 8000
);
// Step 5: Enrich with multi-modal insights
const enriched = await multiModalIntegrator.enrichContext(context, intent);
// Adds: comments, test cases, documentation, commit messages
// Step 6: Explain why this context was selected
const explained = await contextExplainer.explainContext(enriched, userQuery);
// Provides: Reasoning for each file/entity included
// Step 7: Send to LLM with structured prompt
const prompt = `
Based on this comprehensive code context:
${formatContextForLLM(explained)}
Question: ${userQuery}

`;
const aiResponse = await llm.complete(prompt);
// Step 8: Learn from outcome
await adaptiveLearningSystem.learnFromInteraction(
userQuery,
enriched,
aiResponse,
userFeedback: { was_helpful: true, rating: 5 },
outcome: { success: true, task_completed: true }
);
// System improves for next time!
