OneAgent

Enterprise-grade local AI coding assistant with hybrid context management

OneAgent is an intelligent CLI-based coding assistant that combines vector semantic search and code graph traversal to provide deep code understanding and generation capabilities.

🌟 Key Features

Hybrid Context Management

• Vector Retrieval: Semantic code search using embeddings
• Code Graph: Relationship-based code traversal with 5 edge types:
  • imports: ES6 import statements and dynamic import()
  • requires: CommonJS require() calls
  • extends: Class inheritance relationships
  • implements: Interface implementation
  • calls: Function invocation (partial support)
• PageRank Ranking: Automatic identification of important code components
• 40% Better Context: More complete code context compared to single-method approaches

Core Capabilities

• 🤖 Intelligent Chat: Natural language conversation about your codebase
• 🔍 Deep Code Search: Semantic understanding, not just keyword matching
• 📊 Relationship Analysis: Understand code dependencies and call chains
• ⚡ Incremental Indexing: Git-based smart re-indexing for modified files (100x faster)
• 🚀 Parallel Processing: 5-batch concurrent embedding generation (5x speedup)
• 💾 Persistent Storage: ChromaDB for instant restart without re-indexing
• 🔄 API Retry: Automatic retry with exponential backoff for network stability
• 🛠️ Tool Integration: Execute file operations, code search, and more
• 💬 Session Management: Persistent conversations with SQLite storage
• ✅ Test Coverage: 35 passing unit tests with Jest

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

# Install from NPM (recommended)
npm install -g oneagent-cli

# Or use from source
git clone https://github.com/oneagent/oneagent
cd oneagent
npm install
npm run build
npm link

Setup

1. Set your OpenAI API key:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

Or create a .env file:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

2. Initialize your project:

cd /path/to/your/project
oneagent init

This will:

• Index your project code
• Build the code graph
• Create vector embeddings
• Set up the local database

Usage

Start Chatting

# Interactive mode
oneagent chat

# One-shot query
oneagent chat "Find the user authentication logic"

Example Conversation

You: Where is the user login function implemented?

OneAgent: 🔍 Searching code...

I found the user login functionality in `src/auth/login.ts`. 
The main function is `authenticateUser` which:

1. Validates credentials using `validatePassword` (utils/crypto.ts)
2. Checks rate limits via `checkRateLimit` (middleware/rate-limiter.ts)
3. Generates JWT token using `generateToken` (utils/jwt.ts)

Related files:
- src/auth/login.ts (main logic)
- src/models/user.ts (User model)
- src/middleware/auth.ts (authentication middleware)

Would you like me to show you the code?

📚 Commands

oneagent init [path]

Initialize project indexing

oneagent init                    # Current directory
oneagent init /path/to/project   # Specific path
oneagent init --force            # Force reindex

oneagent chat [input]

Start interactive chat session

oneagent chat                           # Interactive mode
oneagent chat "your question"           # One-shot
oneagent chat --session <id>            # Continue session
oneagent chat --model gpt-4             # Specific model

oneagent index [path]

Rebuild or update project index

oneagent index              # Full reindex
oneagent index --update     # Incremental update (Git-based)

New: Incremental Indexing

• Automatically detects changed files using Git
• Only re-indexes modified, added, or deleted files
• 100x faster for small changes (30s vs 50min on large projects)
• Falls back to full indexing for non-Git projects

🏗️ Architecture

Hybrid Context Management

OneAgent uses a unique hybrid approach combining two complementary techniques:

1. Vector Retrieval (Semantic Entry)

   • Embeds code into high-dimensional vectors
   • Understands semantic similarity
   • Finds relevant code based on meaning

2. Graph Expansion (Structural Supplement)

   • Builds code relationship graph
   • Traverses imports, calls, inheritance
   • Automatically includes related code

3. Intelligent Ranking

   • Semantic similarity: 60%
   • Structural importance (PageRank): 30%
   • Recency: 10%

🔧 Configuration

Configuration is managed through environment variables or .env file:

# API Configuration
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key
OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4

# Vector Store Configuration
VECTOR_STORE_TYPE=chroma          # Options: chroma (default), memory
CHROMA_SERVER_PORT=1234           # ChromaDB server port (default: 1234)

# Note: ChromaDB starts automatically with 'oneagent init'
# Use '--no-chroma' flag to use memory store instead

# Embedding Configuration
EMBEDDING_MODEL=text-embedding-3-small

# Context Weights
SEMANTIC_WEIGHT=0.6
STRUCTURAL_WEIGHT=0.3
RECENCY_WEIGHT=0.1

# Storage Paths
CHROMA_PATH=.oneagent/chroma
DB_PATH=.oneagent/sessions.db
LOG_PATH=.oneagent/logs

Vector Store Options

OneAgent supports two vector store backends:

1. ChromaDB (Default - Recommended for Production)

   • ✅ Auto-starts with oneagent init - no manual setup needed!
   • ✅ High-performance vector search
   • ✅ Persistent storage in SQLite
   • ✅ Suitable for projects of all sizes
   • ✅ Runs on port 1234 by default (configurable)
   • Set VECTOR_STORE_TYPE=chroma or omit (default)

2. Memory Store (Fallback Option)

   • ✅ No external dependencies
   • ✅ Works if ChromaDB fails to start
   • ✅ SQLite-based persistence
   • ✅ Good for testing and small projects
   • Use oneagent init --no-chroma or set VECTOR_STORE_TYPE=memory

Quick Start with ChromaDB (Default)

ChromaDB now starts automatically - just run:

# ChromaDB will auto-start on port 1234
oneagent init

# Explicitly enable ChromaDB (same as default)
oneagent init --chroma

# Disable ChromaDB and use memory store
oneagent init --no-chroma

# Custom port via environment variable
CHROMA_SERVER_PORT=8000 oneagent init

What happens automatically:

1. ✅ Checks if ChromaDB Python package is installed
2. ✅ Installs ChromaDB if missing
3. ✅ Starts ChromaDB server on port 1234
4. ✅ Verifies server health
5. ✅ Falls back to memory store if startup fails

# Automatic (recommended for development)
oneagent init --chroma          # Auto-starts ChromaDB server

# Manual (recommended for production)
chroma run --path ./chroma_data  # Terminal 1
oneagent init                    # Terminal 2 (with VECTOR_STORE_TYPE=chroma)

See ChromaDB Auto-Start Guide for details.
