Concepts

Byte's design revolves around key principles that work together to provide a powerful yet safe environment for AI-assisted development:

• Memory & Context Management - Understanding token usage, context limits, and session management
• File Context - Control which files the AI can see and modify
• File Watching - Automatic detection of external file changes
• Conventions - Project-specific coding standards and style guides
• Linting - Automated code quality checks and fixes
• Commit - AI-powered commit message generation
• Web - Scrape webpages and convert to markdown for LLM context
