Contextual Intelligence

Contextual Plugin Intelligence

Analyze a project's technology stack and recommend plugins using machine learning techniques: $ARGUMENTS

Overview

The intelligence module provides three core capabilities:

1. Project Fingerprinting — Scans a project directory to extract a feature vector covering frameworks, languages, infrastructure, and architectural patterns.
2. Association Rule Mining (Apriori) — Discovers which features commonly co-occur across projects, then identifies capability gaps in the current project.
3. Plugin Recommendations — Ranks available plugins by cosine similarity to the project fingerprint, weighted by gap-filling potential.

Key Algorithms

Apriori Algorithm

The Apriori algorithm mines association rules from a dataset of project profiles. It works in two phases:

Phase 1: Find Frequent Itemsets

L1 = { items appearing in >= minSupport fraction of transactions }
k = 2
while L(k-1) is non-empty:
    Candidates = apriori-gen(L(k-1))  // join + prune
    Count each candidate's support across all transactions
    L(k) = candidates with support >= minSupport
    k++

The Apriori principle (anti-monotone property) states: if {A,B} is infrequent, no superset {A,B,C,...} can be frequent. This allows aggressive pruning of the candidate space.

Phase 2: Generate Rules

For each frequent itemset S where |S| >= 2:

For each item B in S:
    A = S \ {B}
    confidence = support(S) / support(A)
    lift = confidence / support({B})
    if confidence >= minConfidence: emit rule A => {B}

Cosine Similarity

Projects and plugins are both represented as binary vectors over a shared vocabulary of feature terms:

vocabulary = sorted union of all terms
project_vector[i] = 1 if vocabulary[i] in project_features else 0
plugin_vector[i]  = 1 if vocabulary[i] in plugin_capabilities else 0

similarity = dot(project, plugin) / (norm(project) * norm(plugin))

Final Scoring

relevance = 0.6 * cosine_similarity + 0.4 * gap_coverage
gap_coverage = sum(confidence[gap] for filled gaps) / sum(confidence[gap] for all gaps)

Usage Examples

Scan Current Project

import { ProjectFingerprinter } from './src/intelligence/fingerprint.js';

const fp = new ProjectFingerprinter('/path/to/project');
const fingerprint = await fp.scan();

console.log('Frameworks:', fingerprint.frameworks);
console.log('Languages:', fingerprint.languages);
console.log('Infrastructure:', fingerprint.infrastructure);
console.log('Patterns:', fingerprint.patterns);
console.log('Missing capabilities:', fingerprint.missing);

Mine Association Rules

import { AprioriMiner } from './src/intelligence/fingerprint.js';

const profiles = [
  { features: ['typescript', 'react', 'nextjs', 'eslint', 'jest', 'ci-cd'] },
  { features: ['typescript', 'nodejs', 'express', 'docker', 'kubernetes', 'helm', 'ci-cd'] },
  { features: ['python', 'fastapi', 'docker', 'terraform', 'aws', 'monitoring'] },
  // ...more profiles
];

const miner = new AprioriMiner(profiles, 0.3, 0.6);
const rules = miner.mineRules();

for (const rule of rules) {
  console.log(
    `{${rule.antecedent.join(', ')}} => {${rule.consequent.join(', ')}}`,
    `support=${rule.support} confidence=${rule.confidence} lift=${rule.lift}`
  );
}
// Example output:
// {kubernetes, helm} => {ci-cd}  support=0.318 confidence=0.875 lift=1.05
// {docker, kubernetes} => {monitoring}  support=0.364 confidence=0.8 lift=1.12

Get Plugin Recommendations

import { RecommendationEngine } from './src/intelligence/fingerprint.js';
import type { PluginCapability } from './src/intelligence/types.js';

const plugins: PluginCapability[] = [
  {
    name: 'ci-pipeline-pro',
    description: 'CI/CD pipeline generator',
    capabilities: ['ci-cd', 'testing', 'deployment'],
    targetInfrastructure: ['docker', 'kubernetes'],
  },
  {
    name: 'monitoring-stack',
    description: 'Observability setup with Prometheus + Grafana',
    capabilities: ['monitoring', 'alerting', 'dashboards'],
    targetInfrastructure: ['kubernetes', 'docker'],
  },
];

const engine = new RecommendationEngine();
const report = engine.recommend(fingerprint, plugins);

for (const rec of report.recommendations) {
  console.log(`${rec.pluginName}: relevance=${rec.relevance}`);
  console.log(`  Reason: ${rec.reason}`);
  console.log(`  Gaps filled: ${rec.gapsFilled.join(', ')}`);
}

Full Analysis (Convenience Function)

import { analyzeProject } from './src/intelligence/fingerprint.js';

const report = await analyzeProject('/path/to/project', availablePlugins);
console.log(JSON.stringify(report, null, 2));

Configuration

Support and Confidence Thresholds

The AprioriMiner accepts two thresholds:

Lower support finds more rules but may include noise. Higher confidence produces more reliable gap predictions.

Gap Filtering

Only gaps with confidence >= 0.6 are surfaced to users. This threshold is hardcoded in ProjectFingerprinter.findGaps() to avoid noisy suggestions.

Training Data

The Apriori miner learns from config/project-profiles.json. Add new profiles to improve rule quality:

{
  "label": "my-custom-stack",
  "features": ["typescript", "react", "nextjs", "docker", "ci-cd", "monitoring"]
}

More diverse profiles = better association rules = more accurate gap detection.
