Context & Rationale
Implements Pirolli & Card's Information Foraging Theory. Rather than executing disjointed keyword grep searches, the agent follows relational "information scent" across codebases and repositories.
Scope & Deliverables
- Context & Rationale*: Implements Pirolli & Card's Information Foraging Theory. Rather than executing disjointed keyword grep searches, the agent follows relational "information scent" across codebases and repositories.
- Breadcrumb Relational Crawler*: Traverses outbound cues from a starting anchor (error traceback, failing test, or feature keyword) across symbol imports, call hierarchies, git blame history, PR discussions, and markdown references.
- Heuristic Scent Scoring & Backtracking*: Scores edges based on semantic relevance to the inquiry; maintains an explicit traversal ledger that detects circular paths and systematically backtracks when an information trail grows cold.
Strategic Alignment
- Milestone:
v0.2.21 (Deep Cognitive Information Foraging, Syntopical Reading & Epistemic Research Engine)
- Roadmap Reference:
