A benchmark gate that catches small regressions
How a seeded 50,000-row corpus, a recall baseline and a p95 latency baseline turned a search benchmark into a pass or fail check that runs on every pull request.
Blog
Practical posts from real work: AI coding agents, MCP, Laravel, Node and Bun, and engineering decisions. Commands and numbers are included, and sources are dated.
What aletheia-mem gives you, and what it does not
The benefits of Aletheia with their numbers and sources: one local store for many tools, rules written once, private by default, measured retrieval, and the limits.
Aletheia vs claude-mem: reproducible numbers
A retrieval benchmark of Aletheia against claude-mem 15.2.0 on LoCoMo, with the commands to repeat it, the limits of the comparison and where claude-mem is far ahead.
CI on Linux, macOS and Windows for a Bun project
What broke when I added a Windows runner to a Bun and SQLite project: temp-folder cleanup, path separators, shell assumptions and test timeouts, and how each was fixed.
Hooks designed to fail open for AI coding agents
A failing hook must not stop your AI coding tool. How Aletheia hooks print nothing and exit 0 on error, spool to disk when the database is busy, and what the tests showed.
Quality gate for AI-written Laravel: system design
How Claude Kit is built: one script behind the pre-commit and Stop hooks, the same tools in CI, a referenced runtime, and files you own that are not replaced unasked.
Local-first memory for AI agents: system design
How Aletheia is built: hooks designed to fail open, redaction before storage, one SQLite file, a leased job queue and a bounded session-start block. Choices and trade-offs.
Loupe system design: pins that survive redeploys
How Loupe is built: a comment's journey from a click to an agent, the anchor fingerprint and its scoring, and the lifecycle rule that only a person resolves.
How to use aletheia-mem: memory for AI agents
Install aletheia-mem, save and search memories, add a rule, see what a new session receives and preview the Claude Code installer. Run in a throwaway folder.
How to use Loupe: pin feedback for Claude Code
Run Loupe locally, pin a comment on a live page, triage it on a board and let Claude Code read and answer it over MCP. Steps, screenshots and what I checked.
Why AI coding agents forget between sessions
AI coding agents start every session blank. Here is how Aletheia captures sessions with hooks, stores them in SQLite and feeds context back, all on your machine.
