Introduction
CHAVES is an intelligent coding companion for engineering sessions. It watches your project, tracks diffs, relays terminal activity, and provides contextual AI help directly in the terminal.
Instead of acting like a detached chat box, CHAVES stays aware of your current repo, recent edits, running commands, and prior decisions. The result is proactive guidance grounded in what you are actually doing.
What makes Chaves different?
- → Tracks file creates, edits, and deletes with granular diff history
- → Bootstraps tmux and relays stdout/stderr from your dev process
- → Keeps durable memory of preferences and architecture decisions
- → Searches indexed code with SQLite FTS5 and protects sensitive files
