स्वायत्त बुद्धिमत्ता परत बुनियादी कम्प्रेशन से परे जाने वाले टूल्स प्रदान करती है।

ctx_smart_read

Adaptive file read that automatically selects the optimal compression mode based on file size, type, cache state, and token budget.

पैरामीटर

  • path (required) - file path to read

Example

ctx_smart_read src/auth.ts
→ [auto:map] Selected map mode (file cached, 915 tokens → 89 tokens)
Full reference →

ctx_delta

Incremental file update using Myers diff. Only sends changed lines (hunks with context) instead of full file content. Automatically updates the cache after computing the delta.

पैरामीटर

  • path (required) - file path to diff against cached version

Example

ctx_delta src/auth.ts
→ Δ auth.ts (3 hunks, 12 lines changed)
  @@ -45,3 +45,5 @@
  + const token = generateJWT(user);
  + res.cookie('session', token);
Full reference →

ctx_fill

Priority-based context filling with a token budget. Given a list of files and a budget, automatically selects the best compression mode per file to maximize information within the budget. Higher-relevance files get more tokens (full mode); lower-relevance files get compressed (signatures).

पैरामीटर

  • paths (required) - array of file paths
  • budget (required) - maximum token budget
  • task (optional) - task description for priority-based POP-Intent ordering

Example

ctx_fill ["src/auth.ts", "src/db.ts", "src/routes.ts"] budget=2000
→ Budget: 2000 tokens
  auth.ts     → full       (915 tokens, priority 10)
  db.ts       → map        (89 tokens, priority 5)
  routes.ts   → signatures (42 tokens, priority 3)
  Total: 1046/2000 tokens used

ctx_intent

Semantic intent detection with multi-intent support. Analyzes natural language queries to determine intent (fix bug, add feature, refactor, understand, test, config, deploy, review), classifies complexity (mechanical/standard/architectural), and auto-loads relevant files ranked by heat score.

पैरामीटर

  • query (required) - natural language description of what you want to do
  • project_root (optional) - project root path (defaults to .)

Features (v2.18.0)

  • Multi-intent - compound queries like "fix X and then test Y" are split into sub-intents
  • Complexity - returns mechanical/standard/architectural classification
  • Heat ranking - files ranked by token density + graph connectivity

Example

ctx_intent "fix the auth bug and then add tests for it"
→ Intent 1: fix_bug | Complexity: standard
  Intent 2: test | Complexity: mechanical
  Loaded 4 relevant files (heat-ranked):
  F1=src/auth.ts (full, 915t) - heat: 0.92
  F2=src/login.ts (full, 412t) - heat: 0.78
  F3=src/__tests__/auth.test.ts (full, 340t) - heat: 0.65
  F4=src/middleware.ts (map, 89t) - heat: 0.45

ctx_context

Multi-turn context manager. Shows what files the LLM has already seen, which are cached, and provides a session overview to avoid redundant re-reads.

पैरामीटर

No parameters. Returns current context state.

Example

ctx_context
→ Turn 12 | Files: 8 cached | Reads: 24 | Cache hits: 16 (67%)
  F1=auth.ts ✓cached [5 reads]
  F2=db.ts ✓cached [3 reads]
  F3=routes.ts ✓cached [2 reads, modified]

ctx_graph

Build and query a persistent project intelligence graph. Incrementally scans your codebase, extracts symbols and dependencies, and stores the index on disk for instant access across sessions. Supports 5 actions for structural understanding of any project.

Graph strategy: ctx_graph stores a lightweight JSON index for fast navigation (symbols/related/quick impact). For deeper analysis, prefer ctx_impact and ctx_architecture, which use the SQLite-backed property graph as the authoritative backend.

पैरामीटर

पैरामीटरप्रकारआवश्यकविवरण
actionstringYesbuild, related, symbol, impact, or status
pathstringFor related/symbol/impactFile path or symbol name to query
project_rootstringNoProject root path (defaults to cwd)

Action: build

Incrementally scans the project, computing MD5 hashes to skip unchanged files. Extracts symbols, dependencies, and edges. Persists to ~/.lean-ctx/graphs/<project-hash>/index.json.

Auto-build: The graph auto-builds when any query action (related, symbol, impact) is called and no index exists yet. Manual action=build is only needed to force a refresh of the index after significant code changes.

ctx_graph action=build
→ GRAPH BUILD - /Users/you/project
  Scanned: 142 files (38 new, 104 cached)
  Symbols: 847 exports across 12 languages
  Edges:   1,203 import relationships
  Index:   ~/.lean-ctx/graphs/a3f8c1/index.json
  Build:   340ms (incremental)

Action: related

BFS traversal from a given file to find connected files via import/export relationships. Useful for understanding the blast radius of a change.

ctx_graph action=related path=src/auth.ts depth=2
→ Files related to auth.ts (depth 2):
  src/middleware.ts - imports auth.ts
  src/login.ts - imports auth.ts
  src/lib/jwt.ts - imported by auth.ts
  src/lib/session.ts - via middleware.ts

Action: symbol

Reads a specific exported symbol by name from the graph index, returning the source code with line numbers. Avoids loading the entire file when you only need one function or type.

ctx_graph action=symbol path=createUser
→ SYMBOL: createUser
  File: src/auth.ts:18-42
  async function createUser(email: string, password: string): Promise<User> {
    const hash = await bcrypt.hash(password, 12);
    return db.users.create({ email, passwordHash: hash });
  }

Action: impact

Reverse dependency analysis - finds all files that depend on a given file. Essential for understanding what breaks when you change something.

ctx_graph action=impact path=src/lib/db.ts
→ IMPACT ANALYSIS: db.ts
  Direct dependents (4):
    src/auth.ts
    src/users.ts
    src/admin.ts
    src/migration.ts
  Transitive dependents (2):
    src/routes.ts (via auth.ts)
    src/middleware.ts (via auth.ts)

Action: status

Shows index metadata: file count, symbol count, edge count, last build time, and freshness.

ctx_graph action=status
→ GRAPH STATUS
  Project: /Users/you/project
  Index:   ~/.lean-ctx/graphs/a3f8c1/index.json
  Files:   142 | Symbols: 847 | Edges: 1,203

→ Found 3 shared patterns across 8 cached files:
  "import { db } from '../pages/docs/lib/db'" - 5 files (saving ~40 tokens)
  "export default handler" - 4 files (saving ~25 tokens)

Adaptive Compression (Wave 5)

Starting with v2.21, lean-ctx includes adaptive compression that learns from usage patterns and automatically optimizes compression strategies per project and language.

ACON Feedback Loop

The Adaptive Constraint Optimization Network (ACON) monitors compression outcomes for negative signals: retries, mode upgrades (e.g. map→full), errors after reads, and rapid re-reads. When a pattern of harmful compressions is detected (harm rate exceeds threshold), ACON automatically raises minimum quality constraints - e.g. increasing the entropy threshold or reducing maximum compression percentage.

Thompson Sampling Bandits

For each (file extension, file size) pair, a multi-armed bandit with Thompson Sampling learns the optimal compression parameters: BPE entropy threshold, Jaccard similarity threshold, and budget ratio. Arms with successful outcomes receive positive reinforcement; unsuccessful compressions penalize the selected arm. Over time, per-project and per-language optimal thresholds converge automatically.

Task-Aware KG Compression

The task read mode is task-conditioned: it runs an Information Bottleneck (IB) filter to keep only task-relevant lines, and appends a compact Graph Context footer with the most relevant related files. Graph context is best-effort and uses an existing project graph (prefers the SQLite property graph; falls back to the lightweight JSON index). To enable it, build a graph once per project with ctx_graph action=build or ctx_impact action=build.

Storage

Bandit parameters: ~/.lean-ctx/projects/<hash>/bandits.json.
ACON constraints: Stored within the feedback store at ~/.lean-ctx/feedback.json.
