Context Lineage solves the historical understanding puzzle by creating a 'spatio-temporal index' of code changes:
- data acquisition layer: Automatically grab the metadata (author, timestamp, change file) and code diffs (diffs) of Git commit records to form a structured historical database.
- Intelligent processing layer: Employing lightweight LLM to semantically summarize diffs for each commit, extracting key modification intent rather than simply storing code changes.
- application scenario: When the AI processes a new task (e.g., adding a feature switch), it can retrieve similar commits from its history as reference templates to inherit validated architectural decisions. For example, a particular 'optimize API responsiveness' commit will be refined as a caching policy example.
The technological breakthrough lies in transforming unstructured version control history into a machine-understandable 'decision knowledge graph'.
