The architecture behind BuildStax understanding your codebase before writing a single line.
Context starts before the prompt
Most coding agents treat the prompt as the primary source of truth. BuildStax treats the repository as the source of truth. Before a model writes code, the agent builds a local map of files, symbols, package scripts, tests, and recent changes so the prompt can be grounded in the shape of the actual project.
- Incremental file indexing keeps startup fast.
- Symbol search narrows edits to relevant modules.
- Git status is checked before modifying files so unrelated work is not touched.
Plans become constrained edits
The planner produces a small set of intended file changes, then the editor applies the smallest correct patch. This keeps the agent from rewriting broad areas of the codebase when the task only needs a targeted fix.
Verification closes the loop
After editing, BuildStax runs the narrowest useful verification command it can identify. That might be a unit test, a type check, a formatter, or a production build. The key is that verification is part of the workflow, not an optional final step.
