Progressive Context Management Documentation (v0.3.2)

This directory contains all documentation related to the Progressive Context Management feature released in v0.3.2.

Overview

Progressive Context Management delivers 50-70% token reduction for initial queries by implementing a multi-level context API that provides file → class → method hierarchy with semantic caching.

Usage Documentation

• Progressive Search Usage Guide 📚 - START HERE - Complete guide on using progressive search
• Implementation Status ✅ - Current implementation status and what's been delivered

Technical Documentation

• Implementation Plan - Original implementation roadmap
• Integration Strategy - Integration approach with existing tools
• Code Structure - Code organization and architecture

Key Features

• 50-70% token reduction for high-level queries
• Multi-level context API: file → class → method hierarchy
• Semantic caching for query similarity matching
• Query intent classification for automatic level selection
• Progressive expansion allowing drill-down into details
• Backward compatible with existing search tools

Integration Approach

Rather than creating new MCP tools, we'll enhance existing ones:

• search() - General search with progressive context
• search_code() - Code search with hierarchy support
• search_docs() - Documentation search with section levels

New parameters:

• context_level: "auto", "file", "class", "method", "full"
• progressive_mode: Enable/disable progressive features
• include_expansion_options: Show drill-down options
• semantic_cache: Use similarity-based caching

Timeline

• Days 1-3: Core infrastructure
• Days 4-6: Semantic caching
• Days 7-8: Query intelligence
• Days 9-10: Integration & testing

Total: ~1.5 weeks

Success Metrics

• 50-70% token reduction for high-level queries
• 40% cache hit rate
• 80% feature adoption
• No degradation in search quality
