# Smart Tree Features Overview 🌳
## Revolutionary Features in v4.0.0 🏗️
### 🚀 Smart Edit Tools - 90-95% Token Reduction!
**Like a construction helper who knows exactly which tool you need next!**
Smart Tree now includes revolutionary AST-based code editing that uses 90-95% fewer tokens than traditional diff approaches!
#### How It Works
Instead of sending entire files or large diffs, Smart Edit understands code structure:
- **Traditional**: Send 450+ tokens to add a function
- **Smart Edit**: Send only 30 tokens for the same operation!
#### Supported Operations
- `InsertFunction` - Add functions at the perfect location
- `ReplaceFunction` - Update function bodies efficiently
- `AddImport` - Smart import management
- `RemoveFunction` - Clean removal with dependency awareness
- `SmartAppend` - Append to logical code sections
#### Language Support
- Rust, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Java, C#, C++, Ruby
#### MCP Tools
```bash
# Get function structure
mcp.callTool('get_function_tree', { file_path: '/path/to/file.rs' })
# Insert a function
mcp.callTool('insert_function', {
file_path: '/path/to/file.py',
name: 'process_data',
body: '(data):\n return data * 2',
after: 'load_data'
})
# Apply multiple edits
mcp.callTool('smart_edit', {
file_path: '/path/to/file.js',
edits: [
{ operation: 'AddImport', import: 'lodash' },
{ operation: 'InsertFunction', name: 'helper', body: '() => {}' }
]
})
```
### 🖥️ Smart Tree Terminal Interface (STTI) - Your Construction Site Helper! 🏗️
**The AI assistant that hands you the right tool before you ask for it!**
Imagine a construction helper who:
- Knows what tool you'll need next
- Prepares materials before you request them
- Suggests better approaches based on the job
- Keeps your workspace organized
That's STTI - your coding construction helper!
#### Features
- **Real-time Context Awareness** - Knows what project you're in
- **Predictive Suggestions** - Suggests commands before you type
- **Smart Command Completion** - Context-aware completions

### 📊 File History Tracking System
The ultimate context-driven system that logs all AI file manipulations!
#### Features
- **Hash-based change detection** - Every change is tracked
- **10-minute resolution timestamps** - Organized in time buckets
- **Project-based organization** - Each project gets its own history
- **Operation tracking** - Supports all file operations
#### Location
All history stored in `~/.mem8/.filehistory/`
#### MCP Tools
```bash
# Track file operation
mcp.callTool('track_file_operation', {
file_path: '/path/to/file.rs',
operation: 'write',
old_content: '...',
new_content: '...',
agent: 'claude'
})
# Get file history
mcp.callTool('get_file_history', {
file_path: '/path/to/file.rs'
})
# Get project summary
mcp.callTool('get_project_history_summary', {
project_path: '/path/to/project'
})
```
