## Overview

AURORA is a cognitive architecture framework that provides intelligent context management, reasoning, and agent orchestration capabilities for AI systems. Built on principles inspired by cognitive science research (SOAR, ACT-R), AURORA enables AI agents to maintain persistent memory, learn from experience, and efficiently coordinate complex tasks.

### Key Features

**v0.2.0 - MCP Integration:**
- **Claude Desktop Integration**: 5 MCP tools for seamless codebase interaction in Claude
- **Single Package Installation**: One command to install all AURORA components
- **Cross-Platform Support**: Windows, macOS, and Linux fully supported
- **Installation Verification**: Health checks and diagnostics with `aur --verify`
- **Improved Error Handling**: Actionable error messages with recovery steps
- **Flexible CLI Syntax**: Support for both `aur --headless` and `aur headless` patterns

**Phase 1 Foundation:**
- **Intelligent Context Management**: Adaptive chunking and retrieval of code and reasoning contexts
- **Persistent Memory**: SQLite-based storage with activation-based retrieval
- **Code Understanding**: Tree-sitter powered parsing for Python (extensible to other languages)
- **Agent Registry**: Discover and orchestrate AI agents based on capabilities
- **Flexible Configuration**: JSON schema validated configuration with environment overrides
- **Comprehensive Testing**: Unit, integration, and performance testing framework

**Phase 2 SOAR Pipeline:**
- **9-Phase SOAR Orchestrator**: Assess → Retrieve → Decompose → Verify → Route → Collect → Synthesize → Record → Respond
- **Multi-Stage Verification**: Self-verification (Option A) and adversarial verification (Option B) with retry loops
- **LLM Integration**: Abstract LLM client supporting multiple providers (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Ollama)
- **Cost Management**: Token tracking, budget enforcement with soft/hard limits, provider-specific pricing
- **ReasoningChunk System**: Full ACT-R pattern caching with success scoring and learning updates
- **Conversation Logging**: Markdown formatted logs with full execution traces
- **Performance**: Simple queries <2s, complex queries <10s, keyword-based optimization bypasses LLM for 60-70% of queries

**Phase 3 Advanced Memory & Features:**
- **ACT-R Activation Engine**: BLA (frequency/recency), spreading activation, context boost, decay penalty - cognitively-inspired memory retrieval
- **Semantic Embeddings**: sentence-transformers integration, hybrid scoring (60% activation + 40% semantic similarity)
- **Headless Reasoning Mode**: Autonomous goal-driven execution with safety (git branch enforcement, budget limits, iteration caps)
- **Multi-Tier Caching**: Hot cache (LRU 1000 chunks) + persistent cache + activation scores cache (10min TTL) → 30%+ hit rate
- **Query Optimization**: Type pre-filtering, threshold filtering, batch activation calculation → <500ms for 10K chunks
- **Production Resilience**: Retry handler (exponential backoff), rate limiter (token bucket), metrics collector, alerting system → 95%+ recovery rate

## Quick Start

### Installation

**Option 1: Install from PyPI (Recommended)**

```bash
# Install AURORA with all features
pip install aurora[all]

# Or minimal installation (no ML dependencies)
pip install aurora

# Or with specific extras
pip install aurora[ml]   # Machine learning dependencies
pip install aurora[mcp]  # MCP server dependencies
```

**Option 2: Install from Source**

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/aurora-project/aurora.git
cd aurora

# Install in development mode
pip install -e .

# Or install with all extras
pip install -e ".[all]"
```

**Verify Installation**

```bash
aur --verify
```

### MCP Integration with Claude Desktop (Primary Workflow)

AURORA v0.2.0 integrates with Claude Desktop via the Model Context Protocol, enabling Claude to search and analyze your codebase directly.

#### 1. Install and Index

```bash
# Install AURORA
pip install aurora[all]

# Initialize configuration (optional - sets API keys)
aur init

# Index your codebase
cd /path/to/your/project
aur mem index .
```

#### 2. Configure Claude Desktop

Add AURORA to Claude Desktop's MCP configuration:

**macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
**Linux:** `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
**Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aurora": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "aurora.mcp.server"]
    }
  }
}
```

#### 3. Use in Claude Desktop

Restart Claude Desktop and ask questions about your code:

- "Search my codebase for authentication logic"
- "Find all usages of the DatabaseConnection class"
- "What does the UserService module do?"
- "Show me error handling in payment processing"

Claude will automatically use AURORA's tools to search your indexed codebase and provide contextual answers.

**See:** [MCP Setup Guide](docs/MCP_SETUP.md) for detailed configuration and troubleshooting.

### Standalone CLI Usage

You can also use AURORA's CLI directly without Claude Desktop:

#### Basic Queries

```bash
# Simple query (uses direct LLM - fast)
aur query "What is a Python decorator?"

# Complex query (uses full AURORA pipeline with memory context)
aur query "How does the authentication system work?"

# Force specific mode
aur query "Explain classes" --force-aurora --verbose

# Show escalation reasoning
aur query "Design API endpoints" --show-reasoning

# Test configuration without API calls
aur query "test" --dry-run
```

#### Memory Management

```bash
# Index current directory
aur mem index

# Search indexed code
aur mem search "authentication"

# View statistics
aur mem stats

# Advanced search
aur mem search "database" --limit 10 --show-content --format json
```

#### Headless Mode (Autonomous Experiments)

```bash
# Run autonomous experiment (both syntaxes work)
aur headless experiment.md
aur --headless experiment.md

# Custom budget and iterations
aur headless experiment.md --budget 10.0 --max-iter 20

# Dry run (validation only)
aur headless experiment.md --dry-run
```

#### Verification and Troubleshooting

```bash
# Check installation health
aur --verify

# Check MCP server status
aurora-mcp status

# View help
aur --help
aur mem --help
```

**CLI Features:**
- ✅ Automatic escalation (direct LLM vs AURORA)
- ✅ Memory indexing and hybrid search (activation + semantic)
- ✅ Configuration management (env vars, config files)
- ✅ Comprehensive error handling with recovery steps
- ✅ Headless mode for autonomous reasoning
- ✅ Rich terminal output with progress bars and tables
- ✅ Installation verification and diagnostics

### Python API Usage

#### Example 1: Parse and Store Code

```python
from aurora_core.store import SQLiteStore
from aurora_context_code import PythonParser

# Initialize storage
store = SQLiteStore("aurora.db")

# Parse Python code
parser = PythonParser()
chunks = parser.parse_file("example.py")

# Store chunks with metadata
for chunk in chunks:
    store.save_chunk(chunk)
    print(f"Stored: {chunk.metadata.get('name')} "
          f"(complexity: {chunk.metadata.get('complexity', 0)})")

# Example output:
# Stored: authenticate_user (complexity: 5)
# Stored: validate_token (complexity: 3)
# Stored: UserManager (complexity: 8)
```

#### Example 2: Context Retrieval with Scoring

```python
from aurora_core.context import CodeContextProvider
from aurora_context_code.registry import ParserRegistry

# Initialize provider with automatic parser discovery
registry = ParserRegistry()
provider = CodeContextProvider(store, registry)

# Query for relevant code chunks
results = provider.retrieve(
    query="authentication logic",
    max_results=5
)

for chunk in results:
    name = chunk.metadata.get('name', 'unknown')
    score = chunk.metadata.get('_score', 0.0)
    file_path = chunk.metadata.get('file_path', 'unknown')

    print(f"{name} (score: {score:.2f})")
    print(f"  File: {file_path}")
    print(f"  Lines: {chunk.start_line}-{chunk.end_line}")
    print(f"  Signature: {chunk.metadata.get('signature', 'N/A')}\n")

# Example output:
# authenticate_user (score: 0.85)
#   File: /app/auth/manager.py
#   Lines: 45-67
#   Signature: def authenticate_user(username: str, password: str) -> bool
#
# validate_token (score: 0.72)
#   File: /app/auth/tokens.py
#   Lines: 23-41
#   Signature: def validate_token(token: str) -> dict[str, Any]
```

#### Example 3: Agent Discovery and Selection

```python
from aurora_soar import AgentRegistry

# Initialize registry with discovery paths
registry = AgentRegistry(
    discovery_paths=[
        "./config/agents",
        "~/.aurora/agents",
        "/etc/aurora/agents"
    ]
)

# Find agents by capability
code_agents = registry.find_by_capability("code-generation")
for agent in code_agents:
    print(f"{agent.name} ({agent.agent_type})")
    print(f"  Capabilities: {', '.join(agent.capabilities)}")
    print(f"  Endpoint: {agent.endpoint or agent.path}\n")

# Get agent for specific domain
python_agent = registry.get_agent_for_domain("python")
if python_agent:
    print(f"Using {python_agent.name} for Python tasks")

# Example output:
# CodeLlama (remote)
#   Capabilities: code-generation, code-explanation, refactoring
#   Endpoint: http://localhost:8000/api/v1
#
# Local Python Expert (local)
#   Capabilities: code-generation, code-review
#   Endpoint: /usr/local/bin/python-agent
```

#### Example 4: Configuration Management

```python
from aurora_core.config import Config
import os

# Set environment overrides
os.environ['AURORA_STORAGE_PATH'] = '/custom/data/aurora.db'
os.environ['AURORA_PARSER_CACHE_TTL'] = '3600'

# Load configuration with override hierarchy
config = Config.load(
    config_files=[
        "/etc/aurora/config.json",      # Global defaults
        "~/.aurora/config.json",         # User overrides
        "./aurora.config.json"           # Project overrides
    ],
    cli_overrides={
        'logging.level': 'DEBUG'
    }
)

# Access configuration with type safety
storage_path = config.get_string('storage.path')
cache_ttl = config.get_int('parser.cache_ttl')
log_level = config.get_string('logging.level')

print(f"Storage: {storage_path}")
print(f"Cache TTL: {cache_ttl}s")
print(f"Log Level: {log_level}")

# Example output:
# Storage: /custom/data/aurora.db
# Cache TTL: 3600s
# Log Level: DEBUG
```

#### Example 5: End-to-End Workflow

```python
from aurora_core.store import SQLiteStore
from aurora_core.config import Config
from aurora_context_code.registry import ParserRegistry
from aurora_core.context import CodeContextProvider
from pathlib import Path

# 1. Load configuration
config = Config.load()

# 2. Initialize components
store = SQLiteStore(config.get_string('storage.path'))
parser_registry = ParserRegistry()
context_provider = CodeContextProvider(store, parser_registry)

# 3. Parse project files
project_root = Path('./my_project')
python_files = project_root.rglob('*.py')

parsed_count = 0
for py_file in python_files:
    parser = parser_registry.get_parser(str(py_file))
    if parser:
        chunks = parser.parse_file(str(py_file))
        for chunk in chunks:
            store.save_chunk(chunk)
        parsed_count += len(chunks)

print(f"Parsed {parsed_count} chunks from project")

# 4. Query for specific functionality
query = "database connection pooling"
results = context_provider.retrieve(query, max_results=10)

print(f"\nFound {len(results)} relevant chunks for: '{query}'")
for chunk in results[:3]:  # Show top 3
    print(f"  - {chunk.metadata.get('name')} "
          f"in {Path(chunk.metadata.get('file_path')).name}")

# 5. Update activation (track usage)
for chunk in results[:5]:
    context_provider.update(chunk.chunk_id)

# Example output:
# Parsed 247 chunks from project
#
# Found 8 relevant chunks for: 'database connection pooling'
#   - DatabasePool in db_manager.py
#   - create_pool in connection.py
#   - get_connection in pool_handler.py
```

### Phase 2 Examples (SOAR Pipeline)

#### Example 6: SOAR Orchestrator - Simple Query

```python
from aurora_soar import SOAROrchestrator, AgentRegistry
from aurora_core.store import SQLiteStore
from aurora_reasoning import AnthropicClient
import os

# Initialize components
store = SQLiteStore("aurora.db")
agent_registry = AgentRegistry()
reasoning_llm = AnthropicClient(api_key=os.getenv("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"))

# Create orchestrator
orchestrator = SOAROrchestrator(
    store=store,
    agent_registry=agent_registry,
    reasoning_llm=reasoning_llm,
    solving_llm=reasoning_llm
)

# Execute simple query (bypasses decomposition)
result = orchestrator.execute(
    query="What is the capital of France?",
    verbosity="normal"
)

print(f"Answer: {result['answer']}")
print(f"Confidence: {result['confidence']:.2f}")
print(f"Complexity: {result['metadata']['complexity']}")
print(f"Cost: ${result['metadata']['cost_usd']:.4f}")

# Example output:
# Answer: The capital of France is Paris.
# Confidence: 0.95
# Complexity: SIMPLE
# Cost: $0.0012
```

#### Example 7: SOAR Orchestrator - Complex Query with Decomposition

```python
# Execute complex query (full 9-phase pipeline)
result = orchestrator.execute(
    query="Analyze the authentication system and suggest security improvements",
    verbosity="verbose"
)

print(f"Answer: {result['answer'][:200]}...")
print(f"\nSubgoals completed: {result['metadata']['subgoals_completed']}/{result['metadata']['total_subgoals']}")
print(f"Agents used: {', '.join(result['metadata']['agents_used'])}")
print(f"Verification score: {result['metadata']['verification_score']:.2f}")
print(f"Total cost: ${result['metadata']['cost_usd']:.4f}")

# View reasoning trace
for phase in result['reasoning_trace']:
    print(f"\n{phase['phase']}: {phase['status']}")
    print(f"  Duration: {phase['duration_ms']}ms")
    if 'key_metrics' in phase:
        print(f"  Metrics: {phase['key_metrics']}")

# Example output:
# Answer: Based on analysis of the authentication system, here are 5 key security improvements:
# 1. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA)...
#
# Subgoals completed: 4/4
# Agents used: security-analyzer, code-reviewer, threat-modeler
# Verification score: 0.87
# Total cost: $0.4523
#
# Phase 1 (Assess): COMPLETE
#   Duration: 156ms
#   Metrics: {'complexity': 'COMPLEX', 'confidence': 0.92}
# ...
```

#### Example 8: Cost Tracking and Budget Management

```python
from aurora_core.budget import CostTracker

# Initialize cost tracker with monthly budget
tracker = CostTracker(
    monthly_limit_usd=10.0,
    config_path="~/.aurora/budget_tracker.json"
)

# Check budget before query
budget_ok, status = tracker.check_budget(estimated_cost_usd=0.50)
if not budget_ok:
    print(f"Budget exceeded: {status}")
else:
    # Execute query
    result = orchestrator.execute(query="...", budget_tracker=tracker)

    # Cost automatically tracked by orchestrator
    print(f"Query cost: ${result['metadata']['cost_usd']:.4f}")

# Get budget status
status = tracker.get_status()
print(f"\nBudget Status:")
print(f"  Consumed: ${status['consumed_usd']:.2f}")
print(f"  Remaining: ${status['remaining_usd']:.2f}")
print(f"  Limit: ${status['limit_usd']:.2f}")
print(f"  Usage: {status['usage_percent']:.1f}%")

# Example output:
# Query cost: $0.4523
#
# Budget Status:
#   Consumed: $6.78
#   Remaining: $3.22
#   Limit: $10.00
#   Usage: 67.8%
```

#### Example 9: ReasoningChunk Pattern Caching

```python
from aurora_core.chunks import ReasoningChunk

# Orchestrator automatically creates ReasoningChunks after successful queries
result = orchestrator.execute(query="Implement JWT authentication")

# Pattern cached if success_score >= 0.5
if result['metadata']['pattern_cached']:
    print("Pattern cached for future reuse")
    print(f"Success score: {result['metadata']['success_score']:.2f}")

# Later queries with similar patterns retrieve cached reasoning
similar_result = orchestrator.execute(query="Add OAuth2 authentication")

# Check if pattern was reused
if similar_result['metadata']['cached_pattern_used']:
    print("Reused cached pattern!")
    print(f"Time saved: {similar_result['metadata']['time_saved_ms']}ms")
    print(f"Cost saved: ${similar_result['metadata']['cost_saved_usd']:.4f}")

# Example output:
# Pattern cached for future reuse
# Success score: 0.87
#
# Reused cached pattern!
# Time saved: 1547ms
# Cost saved: $0.3421
```

#### Example 10: Conversation Logging

```python
from aurora_core.logging import ConversationLogger

# Initialize logger (automatically used by orchestrator)
logger = ConversationLogger(log_dir="~/.aurora/logs/conversations")

# Logs automatically written after each query
result = orchestrator.execute(
    query="Refactor database models for better performance",
    conversation_logger=logger
)

# Log files organized by date: ~/.aurora/logs/conversations/2025/12/
# Filename: refactor-database-2025-12-22.md

print(f"Conversation logged to: {result['metadata']['log_file']}")

# Log contents (markdown format):
# ---
# query_id: 7f3a8b2c-1d4e-4f9a-8c2b-3d5e6f7a8b9c
# timestamp: 2025-12-22T14:23:45.123Z
# query: Refactor database models for better performance
# ---
#
# ## Phase 1: Assess
# ```json
# {"complexity": "MEDIUM", "confidence": 0.85}
# ```
# ...
```

## Architecture

AURORA is organized as a Python monorepo with four core packages. The architecture follows a layered design with clear separation of concerns and dependency injection for testability.
