Capn-Hook

GitHub 3 months ago 26

Capn-Hook is a persistent memory system for coding agents that saves discovered file locations and codebase structure between sessions, reducing token usage by 77% on repeated questions across 60 real developer queries on five production codebases. The tool uses file fingerprinting to automatically invalidate saved answers when underlying files change, integrating with Claude Code and Codex through session hooks that let agents ask before searching and chart answers after discovery. This reduces repeated exploration costs from minutes to seconds while maintaining correctness across all test cases.

Why we stopped using SDKs

X 3 months ago 42

A company determined that SDK integration requires similar effort to direct HTTP API calls, shifting the economics of SDK development. The cost of maintaining SDKs now exceeds the benefit when developers can accomplish the same task by calling APIs directly. Companies are moving toward creating agent skills that instruct AI systems how to use their APIs instead of distributing traditional SDKs.
