# Skill Seekers Intelligence System - Documentation Index

**Status:** 🔬 Research & Design Phase

## 📚 Documentation Overview

This directory contains comprehensive documentation for the **Skill Seekers Intelligence System** - an auto-updating, context-aware, multi-skill codebase intelligence system.

### What Is It?

An intelligent system that:
1. **Detects** your tech stack automatically (FastAPI, React, PostgreSQL, etc.)
2. **Generates** separate skills for libraries and codebase modules
3. **Updates** skills automatically when branches merge (git-based triggers)
4. **Clusters** skills intelligently - loads only relevant skills based on what you're working on
5. **Integrates** with Claude Code via plugin system

**Think of it as:** A self-maintaining RAG system for your codebase that knows exactly which knowledge to load based on context.

## 🎯 What Makes This Different?

### vs GitHub Copilot
- **Copilot:** IDE-only, no skill concept, no codebase structure
- **This:** Structured knowledge, auto-updates, context-aware clustering

### vs Cursor
- **Cursor:** Codebase-aware but unstructured, no auto-updates
- **This:** Structured skills, modular, git-based updates

### vs RAG Systems
- **RAG:** General purpose, manual maintenance
- **This:** Code-specific, auto-maintaining, git-integrated

**Our edge:** Structured + Automated + Context-Aware

## 🔬 Research Priorities

Before building Phase 1, research these:

**Critical (Must Do):**
1. **Import Analysis Accuracy** - Does AST parsing work well enough?
2. **Git Hook Performance** - Can we regenerate in <5 minutes?
3. **Skill Granularity** - What's the right size for skills?

**Important (Should Do):**
4. **Embedding Model Selection** - Which model is best?
5. **Clustering Strategy** - Import vs embedding vs hybrid?

**Nice to Have:**
6. Library skill quality
7. Multi-language support
8. Context window management
