SAGE FAQs

Question 1

What is SAGE and how does it enhance Claude?

Accepted Answer

SAGE transforms Claude into a versatile AI development assistant. It enhances Claude by adding intelligent mode selection (e.g., chat, analyze, debug), seamless conversation continuity, smart file handling, and multi-model support to optimize development workflows.

Question 2

What are SAGE's Intelligent Modes for?

Accepted Answer

SAGE's Intelligent Mode System offers specialized interactions like 'analyze' for deep code review, 'debug' for troubleshooting, 'plan' for architecture design, 'test' for test generation, and 'refactor' for code improvements, each optimized for specific tasks.

Question 3

How does SAGE manage conversations and context?

Accepted Answer

SAGE ensures seamless conversation continuity through automatic context preservation across turns and modes. It also includes smart file deduplication, so Claude never re-reads the same files, making long-running tasks efficient.

Question 4

Can SAGE work with different AI models and providers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, SAGE supports multiple AI providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and OpenRouter. It features an intelligent auto-selection system and allows users to configure model restrictions via environment variables for cost control.

Question 5

What intelligent file handling features does SAGE offer?

Accepted Answer

SAGE provides 'embedded' (full content), 'summary' (token-efficient for large files), and 'reference' (ID-based storage) file handling modes. It also includes automatic directory expansion, smart deduplication, and security validation for all file operations.
