WHAT THIS AGENT DOES

Klaro is an AI assistant that automatically creates and updates documentation for software projects. It solves the common problem of documentation falling behind, which can slow down teamwork and make it difficult for new people to understand a project. Developers and technical teams would find Klaro incredibly useful for keeping their project documentation current and easy to understand without spending hours writing it themselves.

## Overview
`Klaro` is an **autonomous AI agent** designed to solve the problem of neglected technical documentation. It works by autonomously navigating your codebase, performing deep logic analysis, and generating clear, professional, and up-to-date documentation (such as README files and API references) with minimal human intervention.

### 💡 The Problem
Writing and maintaining documentation is a time-consuming, tedious, and often neglected task. This common issue leads to accumulated technical debt, slow project onboarding for new team members, and overall project inefficiency.

### 🚀 The Solution
Klaro automates the entire documentation process. It employs an advanced **Pure Python ReAct loop** coupled with custom analysis tools and a **Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system** to ensure the generated documentation is not only accurate but also adheres to specified project style guides.

## ✨ Core Features (Completed & Planned)
- **Autonomous Code Analysis:** Implemented using **Python's AST (Abstract Syntax Tree)** to read the entire file tree, identify key logic (classes, functions), and extract structured data for analysis.
- **Style Guide Integration (RAG):** **(Completed in Stage 3)** Learns from your existing project style guides or reference documents, retrieving relevant context from a vector database to match the tone, structure, and style of the final documentation.
- **Multi-Tool Orchestration:** Uses a **Pure Python ReAct** (Reasoning and Acting) loop to dynamically plan steps, execute custom tools (`list_files`, `analyze_code`, `web_search`), and self-correct errors during the documentation process.
- **Multi-Format Output (Planned):** Generates professional Markdown (`README.md`), API references, and more.
- **Smart Model Steering (Planned):** Will utilize LangGraph for dynamic model routing (e.g., using GPT-4o mini for file listing and GPT-4o for complex analysis) to optimize API costs.

## 🛠 Technology Stack
- **Core:** Python 3.10+ (3.11+ recommended)
- **AI Framework:** LangChain (Tools & Prompts) & **LangGraph (Agent Orchestration)**
- **Agent Core:** LangGraph State Machine (Stage 4 Completed)
- **Vector DB/RAG:** ChromaDB, OpenAI Embeddings
- **Code Analysis:** `ast` (Abstract Syntax Tree)

## 📦 Installation

### Prerequisites
Before installing Klaro, ensure you have the following:

- **Python 3.10+ (3.11+ recommended)** - [Download Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
- **OpenAI API Key** - Get your API key from [OpenAI Platform](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys)
- **Git** - For cloning the repository
- **pip** - Python package manager (included with Python)

### Step 1: Clone the Repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/aethrox/klaro.git
cd klaro
```

### Step 2: Create a Virtual Environment
Creating a virtual environment is recommended to isolate project dependencies.

**On Windows:**
```bash
python -m venv klaro-env
klaro-env\Scripts\activate
```

**On macOS/Linux:**
```bash
python3 -m venv klaro-env
source klaro-env/bin/activate
```

### Step 3: Install Dependencies
Install all required packages from `requirements.txt`:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### Step 4: Configure Environment Variables
Copy the example environment file and configure your API keys:

```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

Edit `.env` and add your OpenAI API key:
```bash
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-api-key-here

# Optional: LangSmith tracing for debugging (requires LangSmith account)
LANGSMITH_TRACING=false
LANGSMITH_ENDPOINT=https://api.smith.langchain.com
LANGSMITH_API_KEY=your-langsmith-key-here
LANGSMITH_PROJECT=klaro

# Optional: Override default recursion limit (default: 50)
KLARO_RECURSION_LIMIT=50
```

**Important:** Never commit your `.env` file to version control. It's already included in `.gitignore`.

### Step 5: Initialize the Knowledge Base
The knowledge base (ChromaDB vector database) is automatically initialized on first run. No manual setup required.

### Step 6: Verify Installation
Run Klaro to verify everything is working:

```bash
python main.py
```

You should see output indicating the agent is analyzing the codebase and generating documentation.

## ⚙️ Configuration

### Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|:---------|:---------|:--------|:------------|
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | **Yes** | - | Your OpenAI API key for LLM and embeddings |
| `KLARO_RECURSION_LIMIT` | No | `50` | Maximum agent iterations before timeout |
| `LANGSMITH_TRACING` | No | `false` | Enable LangSmith tracing for debugging |
| `LANGSMITH_API_KEY` | No | - | LangSmith API key (if tracing enabled) |

For a complete list and detailed documentation of all environment variables, see the [Configuration Guide](docs/configuration.md).

### Model Selection
By default, Klaro uses `gpt-4o` for high-quality, accurate outputs. To use a different model (e.g., `gpt-4o-mini` for cost-effectiveness), edit the `LLM_MODEL` variable in `main.py` line 78.

For a detailed comparison of models, cost analysis, and advanced guidance, see the [Configuration Guide](docs/configuration.md).

## 🚀 Usage

### Basic Usage
Run Klaro on the current directory:
```bash
python main.py
```

Analyze a specific project:
```bash
python main.py /path/to/project
```

The agent will explore the codebase, analyze code structure, and generate documentation based on your style guidelines.

For detailed usage examples, programmatic usage, integration patterns, and troubleshooting, see the [Usage Examples Guide](docs/usage-examples.md).
