AI Architecture Analysis

This repository is indexed by RepoMind. By analyzing usememos/memos in our AI interface, you can instantly generate complete architecture diagrams, visualize control flows, and perform automated security audits across the entire codebase.

Our Agentic Context Augmented Generation (Agentic CAG) engine loads full source files into context on-demand, avoiding the fragmentation of traditional RAG systems. Ask questions about the architecture, dependencies, or specific features to see it in action.

Source files are only loaded when you start an analysis to optimize performance.
