# AGENTS.md - Ask262 Project Guide
## Project Overview
**Ask262** is a RAG-based AI chat agent for exploring the ECMAScript specification and its implementation in [engine262](https://github.com/bendtherules/engine262) (a JavaScript engine written in JavaScript).
The agent combines:
- **Vector search** (via LanceDB + Ollama embeddings) to find relevant spec sections
- **Knowledge graph** (via Graphology) mapping spec sections to implementation functions
- **LLM reasoning** (via OpenAI-compatible API) to answer questions about JavaScript internals
Users ask questions like: *"How does the if statement work?"* or *"Which function implements sec-if-statement?"*
## Prerequisites
- **Node.js** 18+ with Bun runtime (packageManager: bun@1.2.8)
- **Ollama** installed locally with embedding model (e.g., `qwen3-embedding:0.6b`)
- **OpenAI-compatible endpoint** (NVIDIA or other) configured in `config.json`

## Commands
```bash
bun run ingest # Ingest spec HTML into vector index
bun run build # Build knowledge graph (spec → code mappings)
bun run lint # Check code with Biome
bun run lint:fix # Fix auto-fixable issues
bun run format:fix # Format code with Biome
bun run type-check # TypeScript check (no emit)
bun test # Run all tests
bun run agent "Query" # Run agent with question
```
## Code Style Guidelines
### Imports & Modules
- Use ES modules (`import/export`), never CommonJS
- Node.js built-ins: `import fs from "node:fs"` (with `node:` prefix)
- Third-party: `import * as cheerio from "cheerio"`
- Package type: `"type": "module"` in package.json
### Formatting (Biome)
- **Indent**: 2 spaces (not tabs)
- **Line width**: 80 characters
- **Line ending**: LF
- **Excluded directories**: `spec-built/`, `engine262/`, `graphology/` (external/vendor)
### TypeScript
- **Target**: ES2022
- **Strict mode**: Enabled with `strict: true`
- **Module resolution**: Node
- Explicit types for function parameters and return values
- Use `as const` for literal arrays
- Avoid `any` - use proper types or `unknown`
- JSON imports: `resolveJsonModule: true`
### Naming Conventions
- **Folders**: kebab-case (e.g., `agent-tools`, `text-splitters`)
- **Files**: camelCase (e.g., `buildGraph.ts`, `specRetriever.ts`)
- **Functions**: camelCase (e.g., `createGraphExplorerTool`)
- **Constants**: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE or camelCase for exported constants
- **Types/Interfaces**: PascalCase with descriptive names
### Comments & Documentation
- JSDoc for public functions explaining purpose, params, return values
- Use `/** */` for documentation blocks
- Use `//` for inline implementation notes
- Document complex logic or non-obvious decisions
### Error Handling
- Use `try/catch` for async operations with meaningful error messages
- Validate environment variables (e.g., `NVIDIA_API_KEY` in config.json)
- Check file existence before reading
- Log warnings for missing configuration rather than failing silently
## Key Dependencies
- **LangChain**: Agent framework and LLM integration (`langchain`, `@langchain/*`)
- **LanceDB**: Vector storage for embeddings (`@lancedb/lancedb`)
- **Ollama**: Local embeddings (`@langchain/ollama`)
- **Graphology**: Knowledge graph library (`graphology`)
- **Cheerio**: HTML parsing (`cheerio`)
- **Biome**: Linting and formatting (`@biomejs/biome`)
## Important Notes
1. Always use TypeScript for implementation - no plain JavaScript
2. Run type-check before committing: `bun run type-check`
3. Ingest and build commands can take significant time due to local embedding generation
4. The agent relies on `config.json` for API credentials (not committed to git)
5. External directories (`spec-built/`, `engine262/`, `graphology/`) should not be modified by linting/formatting
