usecase

code_context_agent.usecase

The codebase-analysis :class:~strands_teams.UseCase implementation.

CodebaseAnalysisUseCase is the single object that plugs the code-context domain into the generic strands_teams framework. It supplies:

  • the analysis tool roster (discovery, git, BM25, shell tools + the domain read_heuristic_summary tool + the GitNexus / context7 MCP providers),
  • the coordinator prompt template + its partials//steering/ directory,
  • the :class:~code_context_agent.models.output.AnalysisResult structured-output model,
  • the five-phase :class:~strands_teams.PhaseSpec (tool→phase map + names),
  • the reasoning-checkpoint prompt map and fail-fast exempt set,
  • the CODE_CONTEXT_-prefixed :class:~code_context_agent.config.Settings with the .code-context output dir and the NarrativeRubric,
  • the kickoff-prompt builder and artifact-structure spec, and
  • a pre_run deterministic auto-index step.

The reasoning-prompt map and exempt set are ported verbatim from the pre-split agent/hooks.py (which Wave D deletes) so this module owns them outright.

CodebaseAnalysisUseCase

CodebaseAnalysisUseCase(output_root=None, settings=None)

Bases: UseCase

The codebase-analysis use case for the strands_teams framework.

Constructs with sensible defaults for the current repository. Passing an explicit output_root overrides where run artifacts land; otherwise the layout root is left unset until :meth:bind is called with the target root.

Initialize the use case.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
output_root Path | None

Directory root for run artifacts. Defaults to <cwd>/.code-context using the settings' output-dir name; the factory/CLI typically rebinds this to <repo>/<output_dir_name> via :meth:bind.

None
settings Settings | None

Pre-built settings. Defaults to a fresh :class:Settings loaded from the CODE_CONTEXT_ environment.

None

domain_tools

domain_tools()

Return the domain analysis tool roster for the coordinator/team agents.

Includes discovery, git, BM25, and shell tools, the domain read_heuristic_summary tool, and the GitNexus / context7 MCP providers (each omitted if unavailable, AC-6-6). The strands_tools graph tool is intentionally dropped (AC-9-7).

Tool modules are imported here (factory pattern) to keep import cost low and avoid circular imports.

planning_context

planning_context()

Load the planning context injected into the coordinator prompt.

Reads the planning sentinel (heuristic_summary.json) and overlays it on an explicit default skeleton so that every heuristic.* path the coordinator template dereferences resolves under StrictUndefined — this replaces the pre-split _DictProxy safe-0 fallback (AC-6-1).

Returns:
