Chronos — Intelligent Engineering Timeline
Chronos is ROW IDE\'s semantic engineering timeline. It records AI decisions, architecture changes, project milestones, workspace snapshots, and feature evolution — complementing Git with rich engineering context.
Chronos
The intelligent engineering timeline. Records every decision, milestone, and architectural evolution beyond what Git can capture. Chronos complements Git rather than replacing it.
AI Decisions
Every reasoning step and decision made by AI agents is recorded permanently. Understand why specific implementations were chosen months or years later.
Architecture Evolution
Track how and why your architecture changed over time. Chronos captures the context behind every structural decision.
Milestones
Mark and review project milestones. Chronos creates a semantic map of your project's progress, not just commit history.
Feature Evolution
See how features evolve from idea to implementation. Chronos traces the complete journey of every feature.
Workspace Snapshots
Automatic workspace snapshots at every significant change. Return to any point in your project's history with full context.
Decision Timeline
A chronological view of every engineering decision, architectural choice, and AI interaction. Searchable, filterable, and referenceable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Chronos replace Git?
No. Chronos complements Git by capturing semantic engineering context that Git cannot represent — AI reasoning, architecture decisions, milestone significance, and project evolution narratives.
Can I use Chronos with existing Git workflows?
Absolutely. Chronos is designed to work alongside your existing Git workflow. It adds a semantic layer without interfering with version control operations.
Is Chronos data stored locally?
Yes. Like all ROW IDE data, Chronos records are stored locally by default. Cloud synchronization is optional.
