Ryan WardandClaude Opus 4.6 d421b9583f Wire up completion keyboard navigation and add AGENTS.md
- Tab/Enter confirms the selected completion item
- Up/Down arrows navigate the completion menu
- Escape dismisses the menu (via existing dismiss_lsp_overlays)
- Editor intercepts keys via completion_intercept_keys flag when menu is showing
- Add AGENTS.md with LLM-powered predictive autocomplete idea

Galaxy AI Agents - Ideas & Future Work

LLM-Powered Predictive Autocomplete

Idea: As the user types in the code editor, stream the current context (surrounding code, file structure, recent edits) to an LLM and predict what they're about to write — offering inline ghost-text completions similar to GitHub Copilot.

Scope options:

  • By line (predict the rest of the current line)
  • By function (predict the full function body)
  • By class/module (predict structural code)

Challenges:

  • Latency: can't hit the LLM on every keystroke. Need aggressive debouncing (500ms+), speculative pre-fetching, and streaming partial results.
  • Cost: high token volume. May need a small/fast model (Haiku) for inline suggestions with a larger model for multi-line predictions.
  • Context window: need to efficiently pack relevant context (current file, imports, related types, recent edits) without blowing the token budget.
  • Cancellation: must cancel in-flight requests when the user keeps typing past the prediction point.
  • UX: ghost text rendering, Tab to accept, partial accept (word-by-word), dismiss on divergence.

Possible approaches:

  • Debounce + streaming: wait 500ms after last keystroke, stream tokens as they arrive, render as ghost text
  • Predictive pre-fetch: on function signature completion or newline, proactively request the likely next block
  • Local model: run a small code model locally for instant line completions, use cloud model for multi-line
  • Hybrid: use LSP completions for symbol-level, LLM for line/block-level predictions

Integration points in Galaxy:

  • app/src/code/completion.rs — extend the completion state machine with an LLM provider
  • crates/ai/ — existing Bedrock/LLM infrastructure can be reused
  • Editor decoration system — for rendering ghost text (similar to inlay hints)
