How It Works

  1. Sources — Reads markdown files and git commit history
  2. Section-aware chunking — Splits documents into chunks, preserving heading structure
  3. Embedding — Converts chunks to vectors via fastembed (configurable model)
  4. Index cache — Persists vectors and metadata to disk
  5. Semantic + BM25 search — Hybrid scoring with configurable algorithm
  6. MCP server — Exposes search_ddr tool over streamable HTTP
