Trajectory Enrichment-Aware RAG for Coding Agents

Your coding agent copies the first code it finds — not the right one.

TeaRAGs is an MCP server for code search that enriches every retrieved chunk with git history: authorship, churn, bug-fix rate, ownership. Your agent stops learning from hotspots and starts learning from stable, owned, battle-tested code.

The Problem

1. Understanding a monorepo is expensive — for humans AND agents

Every new developer pays in hours. Every fresh agent session pays in tokens. Naming conventions, domain logic, local idioms — all of it has to be rebuilt from scratch, every time.

2. Bad code hygiene is a tax on your agent

Confusing names mean the agent reads more files. More files mean more tokens, slower responses, and a higher chance of picking the wrong example. Your codebase's technical debt is now your AI bill.

3. Agents can't tell stable code from a hotspot

Standard code search ranks by embedding similarity alone. It doesn't know which function gets bug-fixed every sprint, which module hasn't been touched in two years, or whose name is on the commits. So the agent copies whatever looks similar — including the broken examples.

The Solution

TeaRAGs gives your agent two things it can't get from vanilla code search.

1. Every chunk carries its own history

Retrieved code comes with signals about who wrote it, how stable it is, how often it gets bug-fixed, and how impactful a change would be. Semantic similarity stops being the whole answer — it becomes the floor.

2. Pre-built skills, not just raw tools

TeaRAGs ships agent skills — ready-made playbooks that tell your agent when and how to use the signals. No prompt engineering required:

• explore — orient in an unfamiliar codebase
• data-driven-generation — write code backed by stable, owned templates
• risk-assessment — know what you'd break before you break it
• refactoring-scan · bug-hunt · pattern-search — and more

Use Cases

🛡️ Safe code generation

Your agent writes new code backed by stable, canonical templates — modules with a low bug-fix rate, long stability, and a clear owner. No more copying from last sprint's hotspot. Skill: data-driven-generation · Why stable code is safer →

🔧 Refactoring planning & problem-pattern discovery

Find the 5% of code responsible for 80% of incidents. High churn + high bug-fix rate + concentrated ownership = your next production issue — and your next refactoring candidate. Skills: refactoring-scan, bug-hunt

🎯 Risk assessment before changes
