Problem Statement

The current README.md does not accurately reflect the evolved state of the Cue/Blarify project. The repository now includes significant new features and capabilities that are not documented:

  • Multilayer code understanding graph architecture
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integration
  • VS Code extension (Blarify visualizer) with interactive features
  • Comprehensive code analysis and visualization capabilities
  • Neo4j graph database integration

Technical Requirements

Create a comprehensive new README.md that includes:

1. Project Overview

  • Clear description of what Cue/Blarify is and its value proposition
  • Core features and capabilities overview
  • Target audience and use cases

2. Architecture Overview

  • Multilayer code understanding graph explanation
  • Component interaction diagram
  • System architecture overview

3. Components Documentation

  • Blarify Core: Code analysis engine details
  • MCP Server: Model Context Protocol integration usage
  • VS Code Extension: Interactive visualization features
  • Graph Database: Neo4j integration and schema

4. Installation & Setup

  • Prerequisites (Python, Neo4j, VS Code)
  • Step-by-step installation guide
  • Configuration options and environment setup

5. Usage Examples

  • Basic usage workflows
  • VS Code extension usage instructions
  • MCP server integration examples
  • API usage examples

6. Features Deep Dive

  • Code understanding capabilities
  • Graph visualization features
  • Language support matrix
  • AI model integration details

7. Development Documentation

  • Contributing guidelines
  • Architecture details for developers
  • Testing approach and commands
  • CI/CD pipeline information

8. Troubleshooting

  • Common issues and solutions
  • Debug mode instructions
  • FAQ section

Implementation Plan

  1. Analysis Phase: Review current codebase, existing docs, VS Code extension, MCP server
  2. Documentation Phase: Draft comprehensive README following modern best practices
  3. Enhancement Phase: Add code examples, usage scenarios, visual elements
  4. Validation Phase: Ensure accuracy and completeness

Success Criteria

  • ✅ README accurately reflects all current project features
  • ✅ Clear installation and usage instructions for all components
  • ✅ Professional documentation that enables quick understanding and adoption
  • ✅ Follows modern README best practices and structure
  • ✅ Includes practical examples and use cases
  • ✅ Comprehensive troubleshooting section

Testing Requirements

  • Validate all installation steps work correctly
  • Test all code examples and commands
  • Verify links and references are accurate
  • Ensure documentation matches actual implementation

This comprehensive README update will significantly improve project accessibility and adoption by clearly communicating the value and capabilities of the Cue/Blarify system.
