Stop re-exploring the same codebase
You give an agent a compact, persistent map of a recurring corpus. It begins oriented while still checking current evidence for each task.
Worked example
See the idea in context
const map = new AxAgentContextMap(savedSnapshot, { maxChars: 4000 });- Load prior orientation
savedSnapshot carries useful structure learned on earlier successful runs.
- Keep the map compact
maxChars bounds what is injected into the agent context.
- Use it as a guide
The map points the agent toward evidence but never replaces current source.
Run itIn your own project
npm install @ax-llm/ax
import { ai, ax } from '@ax-llm/ax';
const llm = ai({ name: 'openai', apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_APIKEY! });
const classify = ax('review:string -> sentiment:class "positive, negative, neutral"');
const result = await classify.forward(llm, {
review: 'Useful and boring in the best way.',
});Set OPENAI_APIKEY in your environment before running provider-backed code.
