OP here ctx has reached major stable version 1.0. It's an open-source local CLI for searching your coding agent history. 1.0 brings several big changes: - switched from sqlite to Tantivy, resulting in ~16x performance improvement - int

I made something similar using Tauri but there were visual inconsistencies between platforms thanks to webkit. At the time I remember thinking I wish I had used electron to buy cross platform parity. And I experimented with gpui from zed, t

We’re working on adding native support for Shelley! The idea is that even with native recall from Shelley, ctx results are more accurate, ergonomic, and token efficient For example search can retrieve a specific message and then window for

Very cool! Do you have any of it OSS? Or drop me an email: luca@ctx.rs

It's all in the skill / instruction that you give to the agent. The agent should treat the history as anthropology - a record of what happened, not necessarily the ground truth. Creating ground truth is an orthogonal problem - I t

Thanks and this is a very interesting idea! We considered this, but the main thing you gain from this tradeoff is some disk space and cleaner retention semantics from not having to duplicate all of the searchable text. But you still have to

Nice, yea I typically spend about 1/3 of my sessions on finding ways to improve the agents' SDLC. Lots of random audits and things. And yea on the import thing, there are quite a few instances when session records can live on othe

Lol fair enough! Great project btw. Interesting choice to trigger incremental refresh on SessionStart hook, that's nice. How have you enjoyed the semantic search?

We have a private beta for a secure cloud version of the service, although its more geared towards teams/enterprise who want to share their work internally, rather than donating to open model developers. But interesting idea! I'm

This is true, maybe we could reword it to be less absolute. The bigger point is that when they do go spelunking in the old session logs, it is extremely token inefficient, and you can often fill up an entire context window and force a compa

This is likely true, but ultimately this tool is just SQL, which I believe Claude and others must be heavily RL'd on. We try to not do anything "special" and make it boringly SQL representation of past sessions.

Yes this is how we started as well! At first I thought the main improvement would be that the search would be faster, but rg is already pretty freakin fast when the fs cache is warm. What really ended up being the big efficiency improvement

Building this made it obvious that there should be a standard format / specification for agent transcripts and logs (similar to ACP for runtime events). If you're interested in discussing this, please reach out!

Hi HN, OP here. We posted here back in April and the most common request was to make the source code public. As of today, ctx is now open-source: https://github.com/ctxrs/ctx ctx is an Agentic Development Environment (

There are some interesting concepts in the repo if you dig in, happy to answer any questions about it. For example Pretext for rendering virtualization or the elastic containers with AVF.

Welcome to the folks at the Atlantic who are apparently brand new to “the hard problem”. Please start with reading Daniel Dennett and Donald Hoffman before writing articles about how you’ve cracked it.

I’ve had lots of inconsistent app reviews from Apple. Just appeal and/or re-word your language and you’ll be ok. Plan on it taking a few weeks to fully sort out.

OpenRouter has lots of free model providers (you pay by letting them train on it) if you actually wanted to do something like this but legally.

RE: monolithic, single-file implementations We have a lint that caps source code files at 650 LOC and it works really well.
