Archived agent and migration

The agent is retired from active development in this repository. Its complete Python agent, swarm, older TypeScript implementation, lessons, tests and original development instructions are preserved at agent-archive-2026-10-16, commit 9518a3d7724e2d9fe3f169a0d4a9b2d9ee492500.

Use a separate checkout of that tag for historical agent work. The tag is an archive, not a new package release or a promise of continued agent maintenance. The existing attocode distribution and its commands have not been renamed or repurposed into intelligence. Existing global installations are not modified by this repository migration.

For intelligence, install attocode-code-intel and use its CLI directly. Python integrations should import attocode_intel; the retired attocode.code_intel and agent-internal compatibility imports belong to the archive. Run init and doctor for your chosen MCP client, and restart that client after changing its server executable. Existing .attocode indexes, client settings, credentials, shared caches and frozen study environments are not deleted by this migration.

The active repository retains the intelligence engine, MCP/CLI/API, database migrations, dashboard, Docker deployment, rule packs, benchmarks and their useful unit/integration fixtures. Tests that previously reached this engine through agent aliases now import the standalone package directly. Agent-specific orchestration, TUI and provider tests remain in the archive.

This is a product and maintenance decision. The intelligence studies do not establish that the archived agent was useless. Historical evaluation results and failed trials remain available with their original limitations.
