Groundhog's primary purpose is to teach people how Cursor and all these other coding agents work under the hood. By understanding these coding assistants from first principles, users can effectively utilize these tools or even create their own. The project is developed incrementally, with a focus on educational value rather than immediate functionality. The tool offers features such as detailed code explanations, a modern architecture built with Rust for performance, comprehensive logging for debugging, and an easy-to-use command-line interface. While it is still in development, Groundhog aims to provide a solid foundation for learning about AI coding assistants.
