Claude Soul – a cross-session learning engine for Claude Code. It's an MCP server + hooks that extracts interaction signals (corrections, successes, confusion) to build and refine behavioral frameworks, enabling the AI to improve over time.

A solution to Claude Code's lack of cross-session memory, aiming for actual AI improvement rather than simple fact storage. It enables autonomous learning and refinement of AI behavior.

This project addresses a critical limitation in current AI models: persistent learning and memory across sessions. The ability for an AI to autonomously build and refine behavioral frameworks based on interaction signals represents a significant leap beyond static prompt engineering or simple dat...

Semble, an open-source code search tool for AI agents. It combines static Model2Vec embeddings (potion-code-16M) with BM25, fused via RRF, and reranked with code-aware signals. It runs on CPU without transformers.

A token-efficient, fast, and accurate alternative to grep+read for AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode) when searching large codebases. It claims 98% fewer tokens than grep+read and 99% retrieval quality of a 137M-parameter transformer, while being ~200x faster. It is zero-config, requiring no API keys, GPU, or external services.

Semble addresses a critical operational bottleneck in AI agent development for code interaction. High token costs and slow performance of traditional methods like grep+read severely limit agent utility on large codebases. Semble's 98% token reduction and 200x speed improvement offer a significant...
