Architecture (Planned) Core: Python

LLM Framework: LangChain / LlamaIndex

Vector Store: ChromaDB / FAISS

UI: Streamlit

Code Quality

This project uses automated tools to maintain code quality:

• Black - Code formatting
• Ruff - Linting and PEP 8 compliance
• isort - Import organization
• mypy - Type checking
