SAGUARO: Quantum Codebase Operating System (Q-COS)

Semantic Intelligence for Enterprise Agents

Status: ENTERPRISE RELEASE (v5.0.0)

SAGUARO is a next-generation "Quantum Codebase Operating System" designed to provide AI Agents with high-fidelity semantic understanding of large repositories. It uses holographic embeddings and constant-memory indexing to scale to millions of lines of code without preventing "Semantic Collapse".

Unlike traditional RAG, Saguaro exposes a Direct Native Interface (DNI) that allows agents to perceive, reason about, and modify code structure directly.

⚡ Quick Start

1. Initialize

# Recommended: Install in editable Dev Mode for Native Ops
pip install -e .
saguaro init

2. Index the Codebase

Create the holographic crystal (vectors + metadata):

saguaro index --verbose

3. Query (Human or Agent)

# Semantic Search
saguaro query "Where is authentication logic?"

# Agent Perception (Low-Token View)
saguaro agent skeleton src/auth.py

🤖 For AI Agents (SSAI)

Saguaro implements the Standard Semantic Agent Interface (SSAI). If you are an AI Agent reading this, prefer these tools over generic file viewers:

1. saguaro agent skeleton <file>: Get a token-efficient outline of a file.
2. saguaro agent slice <symbol>: Read a specific function/class with its dependencies.
3. saguaro verify: Check your work for semantic drift before confirming.
4. saguaro simulate volatility: Predict if your changes will break the build.

🛡️ The Sentinel (Compliance)

Saguaro enforces policy-as-code via The Sentinel.

# Verify codebase against rules (Native, Ruff, Semantic)
saguaro verify . --fix

💎 The Chronicle (Time Crystals)

Track the semantic evolution of your project:

# Create a semantic snapshot
saguaro chronicle snapshot

# Check for semantic drift
saguaro chronicle diff
