Hanzo seamlessly manages context, tracks changes, and organizes knowledge across your codebase through advanced AI capabilities including vector search, symbolic search, and extended "thinking" processes.

Features

Intelligent Context Management: Automatically maintains project context across sessions
Vector Search: Find relevant code and documentation using semantic similarity
Symbolic Search: Discover code elements through structure and relationships
Extended Thinking: Leverage advanced reasoning for complex development tasks
MCP Server Integration: Connect to Meta Model Control Protocol servers for enhanced capabilities
Automatic Documentation: Generate comprehensive documentation from existing code
Project Analysis: Create detailed SPEC.md files through codebase analysis

Usage

Open any project in VS Code
Run Hanzo: Open Project Manager from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P)
The project dashboard will appear showing your project overview
Enter additional project details if needed
Click "Analyze Project" to generate specifications

The extension will:

Analyze your codebase structure and dependencies
Generate a comprehensive SPEC.md file
Create/update .cursorrules with project context
Build knowledge graphs for enhanced navigation

Advanced Features

Knowledge Management: Track changes and maintain history across your development lifecycle
Rules-Based Assistance: Define custom rules for code generation and recommendations
Integration with LLMs: Connect with various large language models for diverse capabilities

Debugging

If you encounter "request too long" errors, create a .hanzoignore file in your project root using .gitignore format:

staticfiles/
media/
large-binary.exe

Large Projects

Hanzo automatically chunks file data when processing:

Projects >10MB are split into multiple processing chunks
Each chunk is processed separately then combined
Progress displays in the VS Code notification area

For persistent size issues:

Exclude more directories in .hanzoignore
Remove large binaries or media files
Focus analysis on core source directories

Installation

Install from VS Code Marketplace:

Open VS Code
Press Ctrl+P / Cmd+P
Type ext install namanyayg.hanzo

Requirements

VS Code 1.85.0+
Internet connection for AI capabilities

Extension Settings

Hanzo works immediately without configuration. Access additional settings via:

VS Code settings (Ctrl+, / Cmd+,)
Hanzo configuration panel in the extension sidebar

Known Issues & Limitations

Large projects may require longer analysis time
Some file types excluded from analysis (binaries, media)
Performance may vary based on project complexity
