Terminal-first developer tools, context-aware workflows, and retro-inspired experiences

Contributor Covenant


Flagship Projects

Go v3.1.0

Context management and agent journaling for AI-assisted development. Track work sessions, capture decisions, and maintain continuity across tools and time.

Features: Context tags, hierarchy, cross-platform sync, CLI + MCP server

Python

ASCII canvas editor with zones, shaders, and AI integration. A Raskin-inspired infinite canvas for the terminal with spatial workspace management.

Features: Zone-based layouts, shader effects, MCP server for AI agents

C v1.2.0 Production

Production-ready terminal UI library inspired by Claude Code. Scrolling output, context awareness, status bar, and smooth rendering.

Features: Frame buffering, 60fps animations, cross-platform

Python

Terminal-based interactive demos and games inspired by classic Atari aesthetics. Exploring the intersection of retro computing and modern terminals.

Features: Classic visual effects, educational demos, shader exploration
