# Agent Booster: Ultra-Fast Code Application Engine

## 🎯 Vision

Replace expensive, slow LLM-based code application APIs (like Morph LLM) with a deterministic, vector-based semantic code merging system that is:
- **200x faster** (30-50ms vs 6000ms)
- **100% free** (no API costs after setup)
- **Deterministic** (same input = same output)
- **Privacy-first** (fully local, no data leaves machine)
- **Semantic** (understands code meaning via embeddings)

## 🎓 Technical Approach

### Vector Embeddings Strategy
```
1. Pre-trained Model: jina-embeddings-v2-base-code (768 dim)
   - Specialized for code
   - Understands syntax + semantics
   - ONNX format for fast local inference

2. Fallback Model: all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (384 dim)
   - Faster, smaller
   - General purpose but works well
   - Lower memory footprint

3. Custom Fine-tuning (Future):
   - Train on agentic-flow's specific patterns
   - Improve accuracy for common edits
   - Domain-specific optimizations
```

### AST Processing Strategy
```
1. Parse with tree-sitter
   - Support 40+ languages
   - Incremental parsing for speed
   - Error recovery

2. Extract semantic chunks
   - Functions, methods, classes
   - Variable declarations
   - Import/export statements
   - Comments (for context)

3. Index chunks with metadata
   - Line numbers
   - Node types
   - Parent context
   - Complexity metrics
```

### Merge Strategy Decision Tree
```
1. Exact AST Match (40% of cases)
   → Replace matched node
   → Confidence: 0.95-1.0

2. High Vector Similarity (30% of cases)
   → Replace if similarity > 0.85
   → Confidence: 0.85-0.95

3. Medium Similarity (20% of cases)
   → Insert near if similarity > 0.65
   → Confidence: 0.65-0.85

4. Fuzzy AST Match (8% of cases)
   → Use GumTree algorithm
   → Confidence: 0.50-0.65

5. Low Confidence (2% of cases)
   → Return error or fallback to LLM
   → Confidence: < 0.50
```

## 🔌 Integration Points

### Agentic-flow Integration
```typescript
// .env configuration
AGENT_BOOSTER_ENABLED=true
AGENT_BOOSTER_MODEL=jina-code-v2  # or all-MiniLM-L6-v2
AGENT_BOOSTER_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD=0.65
AGENT_BOOSTER_FALLBACK_TO_MORPH=true
MORPH_API_KEY=sk-morph-xxx  # fallback when confidence low

// Automatic usage in agents
const agent = new AgenticFlow({
  tools: ['edit_file'],  // Automatically uses agent-booster
  model: 'claude-sonnet-4'
});
```

### Standalone Usage
```bash
# NPX CLI
npx agent-booster apply src/main.ts "add error handling to parseConfig"

# Watch mode
npx agent-booster watch src/ --model jina-code-v2

# Batch processing
npx agent-booster batch edits.json --output results/
```

### Programmatic API
```typescript
import { AgentBooster } from 'agent-booster';

const booster = new AgentBooster({
  model: 'jina-code-v2',
  confidenceThreshold: 0.65
});

const result = await booster.apply({
  original: readFileSync('src/main.ts', 'utf-8'),
  edit: 'add error handling to parseConfig',
  language: 'typescript'
});

console.log(result.code);        // Merged code
console.log(result.confidence);  // 0.0-1.0
console.log(result.strategy);    // 'exact_match' | 'vector_similarity' | 'fuzzy'
```
