Key Innovations in Babs
- AST-Guided Context Slicing (
@ast-grep/napi): Eliminates context window noise by using tree-sitter AST queries to extract precise function/class subtrees. - Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) Hybrid Retrieval: Combines Lexical (
fastGrep), Vector (LanceDB), and AST Code Property Graphs (CogneeGraphMemoryIndex). - Autonomous Self-Correction Loop: Captures
tsc:checkcompiler andeslintdiagnostic tracebacks, feeding errors back into LLM multi-turn edits.
