FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a code pyramid from an existing Python codebase?▼

To generate a code pyramid from an existing Python codebase, run the ingest command to automatically analyze your code and capture the overall architecture and intent. This ensures persistent context for AI coding agents.

What is a code pyramid and how does it help with AI coding?▼

A code pyramid captures the intent and architecture of an existing codebase, providing persistent context and ensuring architectural alignment for AI coding agents during contextual coding and modifications.

Can I re-ingest code to update the architectural context for a legacy project?▼

Yes, you can re-ingest existing code into pyramids to update architectural context for legacy projects or evolving codebases. This ensures AI coding agents maintain accurate alignment as code changes over time.

Do I need pyrs-foundation to use the code pyramid generation scripts?▼

Yes, pyrs-foundation is a required dependency along with Python and various code analysis libraries. You must install these prerequisites before running the ingest command to generate code pyramids.

What's the best way to ensure architectural alignment when adding AI agents to legacy code?▼

Using automated code pyramid generation ensures architectural alignment by capturing the existing codebase's intent and architecture. This provides AI coding agents with persistent context, preventing misaligned modifications.
