Mesh builds a structural capsule of the repo before the model answers. The agent sees symbols, signatures, relationships, summaries, and can recover exact file spans instead of guessing from pasted raw source.

Capsules combine low-tier file summaries, medium-tier AST structure, and high-tier semantic context for files that matter. Smart cache invalidation keeps unchanged files from being re-indexed every run.

No. Mesh can be the terminal agent, but it also exposes the same workspace intelligence through MCP and API surfaces, so existing coding assistants can ask Mesh for structured context.

Risky changes can run in isolated worktree-backed timelines. Mesh can test alternate fixes, compare results, and only promote the version that passes the chosen verification command.

Yes. Runtime tracing workflows start commands under observation, capture failures, stack traces, and runtime evidence, then connect the symptom back to code paths.

Voice mode uses local speech-to-text and native system speech output, so you can dictate architecture thoughts or coding requests without sending audio through a cloud transcription API.

Indexing, capsules, timelines, and company memory are local-first. Model calls go through the selected Mesh gateway, NVIDIA, Google, or BYOK route, and Mesh sends only the prompt/context needed for the active workflow.

Install the CLI, run mesh in a repo, then type /start. After the briefing, use /change <small goal> for one verified patch. Add MCP once you want Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code to use the same Mesh tools.
