## Description

jcode is a framework for developing autonomous AI coding agents that automate software development tasks. It functions as an agent orchestrator, tool runtime, and semantic memory engine, enabling the creation of agents that can modify code, run tests, and iterate on their own functionality.

The project is distinguished by its use of recursive agent swarming, where a hierarchy of collaborating agents can spawn child agents to decompose complex tasks. It implements a semantic memory system that combines vector-based retrieval with graph-based relationship mapping to maintain context across sessions. To manage risk, the system uses tiered action governance that requires human approval for sensitive operations and isolates agent activities within separate git worktrees.

The framework includes a comprehensive browser automation toolkit for interacting with web pages, extracting DOM snapshots, and capturing screenshots. It also implements the Model Context Protocol to integrate external tools and data, and supports binary hot-reloading to update the server without losing active network connections.

The system provides a command-line interface for managing agent memories and includes auditing tools to track plan progress and visualize agent swarm topology.
