Augment Code's context engine consists of four key components:
- Tasklist: Decompose complex development tasks into structured, traceable steps, with each task managed as an independent object with a status (e.g., pending, in progress, completed) to achieve transparency in task execution.
- Context Lineage: Indexes a project's Git commit history and summarizes commit differences via lightweight LLMs, enabling AI to learn historical success patterns rather than starting from scratch.
- Easy MCP: Secure integration of external tools (e.g. CircleCI, MongoDB) based on the Model Context Protocol to provide real-time service context for AI, e.g. reading error logs or database schemas.
- Auggie CLI: Command line tool that supports integration with Unix scripts, allowing the use of AI capabilities to analyze code changes or verify test coverage in a terminal or CI/CD process.
