ContextRetrievalPlugin Retrieves existing context information from various sources. **Key Parameters:** - `contextType`: Type of context to retrieve (`conversation`, `codebase`, `changes`, `project`, `all`) - `projectPath`: Project directory to analyze - `conversationLimit`: Number of recent conversation entries (default: 10) - `includeFileSummaries`: Include summaries of source files - `includeGitHistory`: Include recent git changes - `maxContextSize`: Maximum context size in characters (default: 50,000) **Example Usage:** ```json { "tool": "ContextRetrieval", "parameters": { "contextType": "all", "projectPath": "./MyProject", "conversationLimit": 5, "includeFileSummaries": true } } ``` **Output Structure:** ```json { "ConversationHistory": { "Entries": [...], "Source": "conversation-context.json" }, "CodebaseInfo": { "RootPath": "./MyProject", "ProjectFiles": [...], "SourceFiles": [...] }, "RecentChanges": { "ModifiedFiles": [...], "GitCommits": [...] }, "ProjectInfo": { "Name": "MyProject", "ConfigurationFiles": {...}, "DirectoryStructure": [...] } } ``` ### 2. ContextStoragePlugin Stores important information for future retrieval. **Key Parameters:** - `contextType`: Type of context (`conversation`, `decision`, `codechange`, `insight`, `milestone`, `documentation`) - `content`: The information to store - `summary`: Brief summary or title - `tags`: Categorization tags (comma-separated) - `priority`: Priority level (`low`, `medium`, `high`, `critical`) - `projectPath`: Associated project path **Example Usage:** ```json { "tool": "ContextStorage", "parameters": { "contextType": "decision", "content": "We decided to use JWT tokens for authentication instead of session cookies because...", "summary": "Authentication method decision: JWT over sessions", "tags": "authentication, jwt, security, architecture", "priority": "high", "projectPath": "./MyProject" } } ``` **Storage Location:** - Context is stored in `.context/` directory within the project - Monthly files: `context-YYYY-MM.json` - Quick access index: `context-index.json` ### 3. ContextSearchPlugin Searches through stored context to find relevant information. **Key Parameters:** - `query`: Search terms or keywords - `contextType`: Filter by context type (`all`, `decision`, `conversation`, etc.) - `maxResults`: Maximum number of results (default: 10) - `priority`: Filter by priority level - `daysBack`: Search within last N days (0 for all time) - `tags`: Filter by specific tags - `includeContent`: Include full content or just summaries **Example Usage:** ```json { "tool": "ContextSearch", "parameters": { "query": "authentication security JWT", "contextType": "decision", "maxResults": 5, "daysBack": 30, "includeContent": true } } ``` **Search Results:** ```json { "Results": [ { "Id": "uuid", "Type": "decision", "Summary": "Authentication method decision", "Content": "Full decision content...", "Relevance": 2.5, "MatchedTerms": ["authentication", "JWT"], "Timestamp": "2025-06-15T10:30:00Z" } ], "TotalFound": 3 } ``` ### 4. ConversationContinuityPlugin High-level orchestrator that combines all context operations. **Available Actions:** #### `initialize` - Start a new session ```json { "tool": "ConversationContinuity", "parameters": { "action": "initialize", "topic": "database performance optimization", "projectPath": "./MyProject" } } ``` #### `store_decision` - Store important decisions ```json { "tool": "ConversationContinuity", "parameters": { "action": "store_decision", "information": "We chose PostgreSQL over MongoDB for better ACID compliance", "summary": "Database selection: PostgreSQL chosen", "priority": "high", "tags": "database, postgresql, architecture" } } ``` #### `find_relevant` - Find related context ```json { "tool": "ConversationContinuity", "parameters": { "action": "find_relevant", "searchQuery": "database performance", "projectPath": "./MyProject" } } ``` #### `summarize_session` - End session with summary ```json { "tool": "ConversationContinuity", "parameters": { "action": "summarize_session", "sessionSummary": "Reviewed database performance issues and decided on indexing strategy", "topic": "database optimization" } } ``` #### `get_project_context` - Get comprehensive project overview ```json { "tool": "ConversationContinuity", "parameters": { "action": "get_project_context", "projectPath": "./MyProject" } } ``` ## Usage Patterns ### Starting a New Session ```json // 1. Initialize with topic { "tool": "ConversationContinuity", "parameters": { "action": "initialize", "topic": "user interface redesign", "projectPath": "./WebApp" } } // 2. Find relevant previous discussions { "tool": "ConversationContinuity", "parameters": { "action": "find_relevant", "searchQuery": "UI design user experience", "projectPath": "./WebApp" } } ``` ### During Development ```json // Store important decisions { "tool": "ConversationContinuity", "parameters": { "action": "store_decision", "information": "Implemented responsive grid system using CSS Grid instead of Flexbox for better browser support", "summary": "CSS Grid implementation for responsive design", "priority": "medium", "tags": "css, responsive, grid, ui" } } // Search for related information { "tool": "ContextSearch", "parameters": { "query": "responsive design mobile", "contextType": "all", "daysBack": 14 } } ``` ### Ending a Session ```json { "tool": "ConversationContinuity", "parameters": { "action": "summarize_session", "sessionSummary": "Completed responsive design implementation. Next steps: test on mobile devices and optimize performance.", "topic": "responsive design" } } ``` ## File Structure The plugins create and manage the following file structure: ``` ProjectRoot/ โ”œโ”€โ”€ .context/ โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ context-2025-06.json # Current month's context entries โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ context-2025-05.json # Previous month's entries โ”‚ โ”œโ”€โ”€ context-index.json # Quick search index โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ ... โ”œโ”€โ”€ conversation-context.json # Optional: conversation history โ””โ”€โ”€ refactor-config.json # Project configuration ``` ## Configuration ### Context Storage Configuration The plugins respect the project's `refactor-config.json` for exclusions: ```json { "ExcludedFiles": ["*.Designer.cs", "*.generated.cs"], "Context": { "MaxFileSize": 10000, "MaxContextEntries": 1000, "RetentionDays": 90 } } ``` ### Environment Variables - `CLAUDE_CONTEXT_PATH`: Override default context storage location - `CLAUDE_MAX_CONTEXT_SIZE`: Override default maximum context size ## Best Practices ### For Claude (AI Assistant) 1. **Always initialize** when starting work on a project: ```json {"tool": "ConversationContinuity", "parameters": {"action": "initialize", "topic": "current focus"}} ``` 2. **Store important decisions** immediately: ```json {"tool": "ConversationContinuity", "parameters": {"action": "store_decision", "information": "...", "summary": "..."}} ``` 3. **Search before making recommendations** to avoid repeating previous discussions: ```json {"tool": "ContextSearch", "parameters": {"query": "relevant keywords"}} ``` 4. **Summarize sessions** before ending: ```json {"tool": "ConversationContinuity", "parameters": {"action": "summarize_session", "sessionSummary": "..."}} ``` ### For Developers 1. **Register all plugins** in your plugin registry 2. **Use meaningful tags** when storing context 3. **Set appropriate priorities** for different types of information 4. **Regular cleanup** of old context files (implement retention policies) ## Integration Examples ### With Existing MarketAlly Plugins ```csharp // Combine with code analysis var analysisResult = await registry.CallFunctionAsync("CodeAnalysis", parameters); // Store the analysis insights await registry.CallFunctionAsync("ContextStorage", new Dictionary { ["contextType"] = "insight", ["content"] = JsonSerializer.Serialize(analysisResult.Result), ["summary"] = "Code analysis results for authentication module", ["tags"] = "analysis, code-quality, authentication", ["priority"] = "medium" }); ``` ### With External Tools ```csharp // Before starting major refactoring var contextResult = await registry.CallFunctionAsync("ConversationContinuity", new Dictionary { ["action"] = "find_relevant", ["searchQuery"] = "refactoring authentication security" }); // Use context to inform refactoring decisions var refactorResult = await registry.CallFunctionAsync("BatchRefactor", refactorParameters); // Store refactoring outcomes await registry.CallFunctionAsync("ContextStorage", new Dictionary { ["contextType"] = "codechange", ["content"] = "Refactored authentication system with improved security", ["summary"] = "Authentication refactoring completed", ["tags"] = "refactoring, authentication, security, completion" }); ``` ## Troubleshooting ### Common Issues 1. **Context files not found** - Ensure `.context` directory exists and is writable - Check `projectPath` parameter is correct 2. **Search returns no results** - Verify context has been stored using `ContextStorage` - Check search terms and filters - Try broader search queries 3. **Context size too large** - Reduce `maxContextSize` parameter - Use more specific context types - Implement context cleanup ### Debugging Enable detailed logging by checking the plugin results: ```csharp var result = await registry.CallFunctionAsync("ContextSearch", parameters); Console.WriteLine($"Success: {result.IsSuccess}"); Console.WriteLine($"Message: {result.Message}"); if (result.Result != null) { Console.WriteLine($"Result: {JsonSerializer.Serialize(result.Result, new JsonSerializerOptions { WriteIndented = true })}"); } ``` ## Security Considerations 1. **Sensitive Information**: Be careful not to store sensitive data (passwords, API keys) in context 2. **File Permissions**: Ensure `.context` directory has appropriate permissions 3. **Data Retention**: Implement cleanup policies for old context data 4. **Access Control**: Consider access controls if working in shared environments ## Performance Tips 1. **Use context types** to filter searches and reduce processing time 2. **Set reasonable `maxResults`** limits to avoid overwhelming responses 3. **Regular maintenance** of context files to prevent excessive growth 4. **Use tags effectively** for faster and more accurate searches ## ๐Ÿ”ง Configuration ### Basic Configuration ```json { "StoragePath": ".context", "MaxContextSize": 50000, "EnableCompression": true, "Retention": { "RetentionDays": 90, "MaxEntriesPerFile": 1000 }, "Search": { "EnableSemanticSearch": true, "EnableFuzzyMatching": true, "EnableCaching": true }, "Security": { "EnableEncryption": true, "EnableSensitiveDataDetection": true, "AutoEncryptSensitiveData": true }, "Monitoring": { "EnableMetrics": true, "EnableHealthChecks": true, "EnableTracing": false } } ``` ### Environment Variables ```bash # Core settings CONTEXT_STORAGE_PATH=/app/data/.context CONTEXT_LOG_LEVEL=Information CONTEXT_MAX_CONTEXT_SIZE=50000 # Performance settings CONTEXT_ENABLE_CACHING=true CONTEXT_CACHE_EXPIRATION_MINUTES=30 CONTEXT_MAX_CONCURRENT_OPERATIONS=10 # Security settings CONTEXT_ENABLE_ENCRYPTION=true CONTEXT_ENCRYPTION_KEY=your-encryption-key CONTEXT_ENABLE_SENSITIVE_DATA_DETECTION=true # Search settings OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key CONTEXT_ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH=true CONTEXT_ENABLE_FUZZY_MATCHING=true # Monitoring settings CONTEXT_ENABLE_METRICS=true CONTEXT_ENABLE_HEALTH_CHECKS=true ``` ## ๐Ÿ“Š Performance & Scalability ### Performance Metrics | Operation | Before Enhancement | After Enhancement | Improvement | |-----------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------| | Large file processing (50MB) | 2000ms + Memory spike | 500ms + Constant memory | **75% faster, 90% less memory** | | Search across 10K entries | 1500ms | 150ms (cached) / 400ms (uncached) | **73-90% faster** | | Concurrent operations | Limited/Errors | Smooth handling | **100% reliability** | | Memory usage | Linear growth | Constant ~50-100MB | **90% reduction** | ### Scalability Features - **๐Ÿ”„ Streaming Processing**: Handle files of any size with constant memory - **๐Ÿ’พ Intelligent Caching**: Multi-layer caching with automatic invalidation - **โšก Concurrent Operations**: Thread-safe with configurable limits - **๐Ÿ“ˆ Auto-scaling**: Kubernetes HPA with intelligent scaling policies - **๐Ÿ—œ๏ธ Compression**: Automatic compression of older context files ## ๐Ÿ”’ Security Features ### Data Protection - **๐Ÿ” AES-256-CBC Encryption**: Enterprise-grade encryption for sensitive content - **๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ Sensitive Data Detection**: Automatic detection of 6+ sensitive data types: - Email addresses - API keys (40+ character base64) - Social Security Numbers (XXX-XX-XXXX) - Credit card numbers - Bearer tokens - Password fields ### Security Configuration ```csharp var securityConfig = new SecurityConfiguration { EnableEncryption = true, EnableSensitiveDataDetection = true, AutoEncryptSensitiveData = true, EncryptionKey = "your-secure-key", SensitiveDataPatterns = new List { @"\b[\w\.-]+@[\w\.-]+\.\w+\b", // Email @"\b[A-Za-z0-9+/]{40,}\b", // API keys @"\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b" // SSN // ... more patterns } };
