Clone GitHub repos, build embeddings, store in Chroma, and search.

Project description

kno-sdk

A Python library for cloning, indexing, and semantically searching Git repositories using embeddings (OpenAI or SBERT) and Chroma — plus a high-level agent_query for autonomous code agent.


🚀 Features

  • Clone or update any Git repository with a single call
  • Extract semantic code chunks via Tree-Sitter grammars (functions, classes, methods, etc.)
  • Fallback to line-based chunking for unsupported languages or large files
  • Embed code or text with your choice of:
    • OpenAI’s text-embedding-ada-002 via OpenAIEmbeddings
    • Local SBERT model (e.g. microsoft/graphcodebert-base) via SBERTEmbeddings
  • Persist vector store in a .kno/ folder using Chroma
  • Auto-commit & push the embedding database back to your repo
  • Fast similarity search over indexed code chunks
  • Autonomous agent for code analysis via agent_query()

📦 Installation

pip install kno-sdk

🏁 Quickstart

from kno_sdk import clone_and_index, search, EmbeddingMethod

# 1. Clone (or pull) and index a repository
repo_index = clone_and_index(
    repo_url="https://github.com/SyedGhazanferAnwar/NestJs-MovieApp",
    branch="master",
    embedding=EmbeddingMethod.SBERT,      # or EmbeddingMethod.OPENAI
    base_dir="repos"                      # where to clone locally
)
print("Indexed at:", repo_index.path)
print("Directory snapshot:\n", repo_index.digest)

# 2. Perform semantic search
results = search(
    repo_url="https://github.com/SyedGhazanferAnwar/NestJs-MovieApp",
    branch="master",
    embedding=EmbeddingMethod.SBERT,
    base_dir="repos",
    query="NestFactory",
    k=5
)
for i, chunk in enumerate(results, 1):
    print(f"--- Result #{i} ---\n{chunk}\n")

# 3. Autonomous Code-Analysis Agent
from kno_sdk import agent_query, EmbeddingMethod, LLMProvider

result = agent_query(
    repo_url="https://github.com/WebGoat/WebGoat",
    branch="main",
    embedding=EmbeddingMethod.SBERT,
    base_dir="repos",
    llm_provider=LLMProvider.ANTHROPIC,
    llm_model="claude-3-haiku-20240307",
    llm_temperature=0.0,
    llm_max_tokens=4096,
    llm_system_prompt="You are a senior code-analysis agent.",
    prompt="Find issues, bugs and vulnerabilities in this repo, and explain each with exact code locations.",
    MODEL_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
)

print(result)

📖 API Reference

clone_and_index(...) → RepoIndex

Clone (or pull) a repository, embed its files, and persist a Chroma database in .kno folder. Finally, commit & push the .kno/ folder back to the original repo.

def clone_and_index(
    repo_url: str,
    branch: str = "main",
    embedding: EmbeddingMethod = EmbeddingMethod.SBERT,
    base_dir: str = "."
) -> RepoIndex
  • repo_url — Git HTTPS/SSH URL

  • branch — branch to clone or update (default: main)

  • embedding — EmbeddingMethod.OPENAI or EmbeddingMethod.SBERT

  • base_dir — local directory to clone into (default: current working dir)

Returns a RepoIndex object with:

  • path: pathlib.Path — local clone directory

  • digest: str — textual snapshot of the directory tree

  • vector_store: Chroma — the Chroma collection instance

search(...) → List[str]

Run a similarity search on an existing .kno/ Chroma database.

def search(
    repo_url: str,
    branch: str = "main",
    embedding: EmbeddingMethod = EmbeddingMethod.SBERT,
    query: str = "",
    k: int = 8,
    base_dir: str = "."
) -> List[str]
  • query — your natural-language or code search prompt

  • k — number of top results to return

Returns a list of the top-k matching code/text chunks.

agent_query(...) → str

High-level agent that clones, indexes, and then iteratively uses tools (search_code, read_file, etc.) plus an LLM to fulfill your prompt.

def agent_query(
    repo_url: str,
    branch: str = "main",
    embedding: EmbeddingMethod = EmbeddingMethod.SBERT,
    base_dir: str = str(Path.cwd()),
    llm_provider: LLMProvider = LLMProvider.ANTHROPIC,
    llm_model: str = "claude-3-haiku-20240307",
    llm_temperature: float = 0.0,
    llm_max_tokens: int = 4096,
    llm_system_prompt: str = "",
    prompt: str = "",
    MODEL_API_KEY: str = "",
) -> str
  • repo_url, branch, embedding, base_dir — same as above

  • llm_provider — LLMProvider.OPENAI or LLMProvider.ANTHROPIC

  • llm_model — model name (e.g. "gpt-4" or "claude-3-haiku-20240307")

  • llm_temperature, llm_max_tokens — sampling params

  • llm_system_prompt — initial system message for the agent

  • prompt — your user query/task description

  • MODEL_API_KEY — sets OPENAI_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Returns the agent’s Final Answer as a string.

EmbeddingMethod

class EmbeddingMethod(str, Enum):
    OPENAI = "OpenAIEmbeddings"
    SBERT  = "SBERTEmbeddings"

Choose between OpenAI’s hosted embeddings or a local SBERT model.

🔍 How It Works

  1. Clone or PullUses GitPython to clone depth-1 or pull the latest changes.

  2. Directory SnapshotBuilds a small “digest” of files/folders (up to ~1 K tokens).

  3. Chunk Extraction

    • Tree-sitter for language-aware extraction of functions, classes, etc.

    • Fallback to fixed-size line chunks for unknown languages or large files.

  4. Embedding

    • Streams each chunk into your chosen embedding backend.

    • Respects a 16 000-token cap per chunk.

  5. Vector Store

    • Persists embeddings in a namespaced Chroma collection under .kno/.

    • Only indexes files once (skips already-populated collections).

  6. Commit & Push

    • Automatically stages, commits, and pushes .kno/ back to your remote.
  7. Autonomous Agent

  • RAG prompt

  • Tool calls (search_code, read_file, …)

  • Iterative LLM planning & execution

  • Stops on “Final Answer:” or max iterations

⚙️ Configuration

  • Skip directories: .git, node_modules, build, dist, target, .vscode, .kno

  • Skip files: package-lock.json, yarn.lock, .prettierignore

  • Binary extensions: common image, audio, video, archive, font, and binary file types

All of the above can be modified by forking the source and adjusting the skip_dirs, skip_files, and BINARY_EXTS sets.
