Today every AI sees

What does the repository look like?

How did it become this way?

Why is authentication split into three services?

Instead of searching files,

Why this matters

Current AI knows

Where code is.

TokenCap v1.7 lets AI know

Why code exists.

That's a much harder problem—and one that can genuinely change how AI helps developers.

Why I like this better than another optimization

Every version so far has made TokenCap better at representing the current state of a repository.

v1.7 could make it represent the history and reasoning behind that state.
