Self-Learning Pattern Application Engine

LearningApplicator brings pattern recognition and automatic application

SnapBack now learns from your coding patterns and automatically applies best practices, making it a true intelligent coding companion.

🎯 What's New

  • LearningApplicator: Pattern recognition engine that learns from code history
  • Auto-Pattern Application: Automatically applies learned patterns to new code
  • Context-Aware Learning: Understands when patterns should (and shouldn't) apply
  • Pattern Promotion: Successful patterns automatically promote from cold → warm → hot tiers

�� How It Works

  1. Capture: Records successful patterns as you code
  2. Analyze: Identifies situations where patterns apply
  3. Suggest: Recommends patterns in similar contexts
  4. Apply: Can automatically apply proven patterns with your approval

📊 Intelligence Tiers

  • Hot Tier: Always-loaded, frequently-used patterns (3+ uses)
  • Warm Tier: Context-loaded patterns
  • Cold Tier: Archived learnings (30d unused → 90d deleted)

🚀 Looking Forward

This release sets the foundation for SnapBack Intelligence Era v2.0, where the system becomes a proactive coding partner that learns and adapts to your style.

Pre-release

Genesis — SnapBack AI Code Protection

The beginning of local-first, AI-aware code safety

First commit establishing the foundation for automatic code protection during AI-assisted development.

🌱 The Vision

Protect developers from AI overwrites without disrupting workflow. Every AI tool (Cursor, Copilot, Claude, Windsurf) makes mistakes. SnapBack ensures you can always recover in <1 second.

🎯 Core Principles (Day 1)

  • Local-First: Your code never leaves your machine
  • Zero-Config: Works immediately, no setup required
  • Privacy: No cloud uploads, no tracking
  • Performance: Sub-100ms snapshot creation

📅 Timeline

  • December 1, 2025: Initial commit
  • 8 weeks later: Public Launch (v1.0.0)
  • 21 releases: From Genesis to Self-Learning

🚀 What Came Next

From this first commit, SnapBack evolved through:

  • AI Detection Engine (v0.5.0)
  • Intelligence System (v0.6.0 - v0.9.0)
  • Public Launch (v1.0.0)
  • Self-Learning (v1.4.0)
