🚀 Kairos: The Context Keeper

Autonomous Development Supervisor with Long-Term Memory

License: MIT Python 3.11+ FastAPI Docker

🎯 The Problem

Modern software development suffers from context fragmentation:

  • Long-running projects lose institutional knowledge
  • Teams struggle with complex, interdependent codebases
  • AI assistants lack persistent memory across sessions
  • Manual coordination becomes a bottleneck in large projects

💡 The Solution

Kairos is an autonomous development supervisor that maintains persistent context awareness across your entire software development lifecycle. It combines:

  • 🧠 Layered Memory Architecture - Working, episodic, semantic, and long-term memory
  • 🤖 Multi-Agent Orchestration - Specialized AI agents for different development tasks
  • 🔄 Continuous Learning - Self-improving through reflection and experience
  • 🌐 Hybrid AI Infrastructure - Local and cloud AI models with intelligent fallbacks
