Understanding knowledge ​

AI is becoming essential to our line of work increasingly capable, but also increasingly expensive. The goal of knowledge is to give Kalisio developers an AI assistant that is both context-aware and token-efficient, regardless of which coding agent they use.

Why not an existing solution ​

Several open-source projects already exist to index code and reduce token usage by improving context, such as claude-context. But none of them fit our needs:

guide why-not

  • Paid dependency : solutions like claude-context require an OpenAI API key for embeddings, which goes against our open-source philosophy.
  • Too agent-specific : most are built around a single coding agent. The field moves fast enough that today's dominant tool may not exist tomorrow; we don't want to lock ourselves in.
  • Too generic : they treat all code the same. We want chunking and handlers tuned to our actual stack, .vue, .js, .json.

What knowledge provides ​

knowledge gives every coding agent the same structured context, through a ready-to-use configuration per agent and three complementary tools:
