Concepts

The “why” behind Navigator. Context engineering is the core principle; Theory of Mind, Task Mode, Loop Mode, and the Knowledge Graph are layered systems built on top of it.

• Context Engineering — why bulk loading fails and strategic loading wins.
• Theory of Mind — bilateral modeling, verification checkpoints, quality detection.
• Task Mode — unified workflow orchestration by complexity.
• Loop Mode — run-until-done with a dual-condition exit gate.
• Knowledge Graph — unified memory across tasks, SOPs, and experiential learning.
• Codebase Research — how the research agent explores, and the LSP tool it uses when one is installed.
• Autonomous Completion — the finish protocol.
