Advanced Capabilities

AI Context System

Knox's revolutionary context system provides AI with complete understanding:

// Knox understands complete context, not fragments
const contextResult = {
  completeFiles: [/* Full files with semantic understanding */],
  architecture: {
    patterns: ["Service Layer", "Repository Pattern"],
    dataFlow: "Request → Auth → Database → Response"
  },
  relationships: {
    callGraph: /* Complete function relationships */,
    dependencies: /* Full dependency tree */
  },
  evolution: {
    timeline: /* How code evolved over time */,
    decisions: /* Why patterns were chosen */
  }
};

Agent Mode Features

Intelligent Task Analysis: Breaks down complex requests into manageable steps
Autonomous Execution: Executes development tasks with minimal supervision
Error Recovery: Automatically handles and recovers from errors
Progress Tracking: Visual progress indicators for complex operations

Checkpoint System

Automatic backup and restore capabilities:

Before/After Snapshots: Captures state before and after AI operations
Rich Metadata: Detailed descriptions like "Agent response 2 - created 1 file, modified 2 files"
Visual Timeline: Interactive history with search and filtering
Smart Storage: Efficient compression and cleanup

Code Completion

Intelligent autocompletion that understands context:

Semantic Understanding: Suggestions based on code meaning, not just syntax
Multi-Language Support: Works across all major programming languages
