Fallow, a codebase intelligence for TypeScript and JavaScript.

Ramu Narasinga — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 15:30:00 +0000

In this article, we review Fallow. You will learn:

What is Fallow?
.fallowrc.jsonc in hyperframes.

What is Fallow?

Fallow is codebase intelligence for TypeScript and JavaScript. One command reads your whole repository as one graph and shows:

where the code is hard to change (complexity hotspots and a health score)
where the architecture drifts (boundary rules and circular dependencies)
what is copied (duplication)
where the UI drifts from your design system (styling drift)
what nothing uses (unused files, exports, and dependencies)
where the feature flags are

Quickstart

Run fallow without installing

// first run needs no config
npx fallow

Read the results
Go deeper:

npx fallow dead-code
npx fallow dupes
npx fallow health
npx fallow fix --dry-run

Learn more about Fallow.

.fallowrc.jsonc in hyperframes.

So I came across the file, .fallowrc.jsonc in the Hyperframes codebase. You might be wondering what a Hyperframes is.

Hyperframes

HyperFrames is an open-source framework for turning HTML, CSS, media, and seekable animations into deterministic MP4 videos. Use it locally with the CLI, from AI coding agents with skills, or as the rendering core behind hosted authoring workflows.

Learn more about Hyperframes.

Now that you understand what Hyperframes is, let’s find out Fallow’s configuration.

Fallow runs with no config. Add .fallowrc.json, .fallowrc.jsonc, or fallow.toml when you need to change entry points, ignore patterns, rules, or plugin settings for your project.

Hindsight, an Agent memory that learns.

Ramu Narasinga — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 15:30:00 +0000

In this article, we review Hindsight. You will learn:

What is Hindsight?
Quickstart guide
Adding Hindsight to your agent.

What is Hindsight?

Hindsight™ is an agent memory system built to create smarter agents that learn over time. Most agent memory systems focus on recalling conversation history. Hindsight is focused on making agents that learn, not just remember.

It eliminates the shortcomings of alternative techniques such as RAG and knowledge graph and delivers state-of-the-art performance on long term memory tasks.

Check out the demo video in README.

Quickstart guide

In the Hindsight README, I found four steps to get started quickly.

Start a server

export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxx

docker run -it --pull always --name hindsight --restart unless-stopped -p 8888:8888 -p 9999:9999 \
  -e HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY \
  -v hindsight-data:/home/hindsight/.pg0 \
  ghcr.io/vectorize-io/hindsight:latest

Connect a client

pip install hindsight-client -U                                  # Python
npm install @vectorize-io/hindsight-client                        # Node.js / TypeScript
go get github.com/vectorize-io/hindsight/hindsight-clients/go     # Go
curl -fsSL https://hindsight.vectorize.io/get-cli | bash          # CLI

Below is an example showing this:

from hindsight_client import Hindsight

client = Hindsight(base_url="http://localhost:8888")

# Retain: Store information
client.retain(bank_id="my-bank", content="Alice works at Google as a software engineer")

# Recall: Search memories
client.recall(bank_id="my-bank", query="What does Alice do?")

# Reflect: Generate disposition-aware response
client.reflect(bank_id="my-bank", query="Tell me about Alice")

Adding Hindsight to your agent

Below is a code snippet demonstrating how to add Hindsight to your existing LLM layer.

// install the hindsight-llm
pip install hindsight-litellm

from openai import OpenAI
from hindsight_litellm import wrap_openai

# Wrap your existing LLM client and you're done.
# Defaults to Hindsight Cloud; pass hindsight_api_url for a self-hosted server.
client = wrap_openai(
    OpenAI(),
    bank_id="user-123",
    hindsight_api_url="http://localhost:8888",
)

# Hindsight recalls relevant memories before the call
# and retains the conversation after it.
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-5-mini",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What do you know about me?"}],
)

You just have to wrap your LLM client as shown above and then memories are stored, retrived automatically on every call, with no other changes to code.

What is SQLite FTS5?

Ramu Narasinga — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 15:30:00 +0000

In this article, we review SQLite FTS5. You will learn:

SQLite FTS5 extension
context-mode reference

SQLite FTS5 extension

FTS5 is an SQLite virtual table module that provides full-text search functionality to database applications. In their most elementary form, full-text search engines allow the user to efficiently search a large collection of documents for the subset that contain one or more instances of a search term. The search functionality provided to world wide web users by Google is, among other things, a full-text search engine, as it allows users to search for all documents on the web that contain, for example, the term “fts5”.

To use FTS5, the user creates an FTS5 virtual table with one or more columns. For example:

CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE email USING fts5(sender, title, body);

I copied this above information from Overview of FTS5 section.

There’s a term that’s worth understanding here, Virtual table.

Virtual Table

I got the below content from Virtual Table Mechanism.

A virtual table is an object that is registered with an open SQLite database connection. From the perspective of an SQL statement, the virtual table object looks like any other table or view. But behind the scenes, queries and updates on a virtual table invoke callback methods of the virtual table object instead of reading and writing on the database file.

The virtual table mechanism allows an application to publish interfaces that are accessible from SQL statements as if they were tables. SQL statements can do almost anything to a virtual table that they can do to a real table, with the following exceptions:

One cannot create a trigger on a virtual table.
One cannot create additional indices on a virtual table. (Virtual tables can have indices but that must be built into the virtual table implementation. Indices cannot be added separately using CREATE INDEX statements.)
One cannot run ALTER TABLE … ADD COLUMN commands against a virtual table.

context-mode reference

Well, where I found this term? I wrote an article about How does context-mode save the context? Context mode is an MCP plugin that sandboxes tool output and indexes it into a local FTS5 store.

Context-mode achieves the “315 KB → 5.4 KB” saving by never letting raw tool output reach the model’s context window — it executes code in an isolated sandbox subprocess and only returns what the code explicitly prints (console.log, print, etc.), while the full payload either stays inside the sandbox or is persisted to an on-disk FTS5 index for on-demand retrieval.

Now you understand the context-mode reference.

How does context-mode save the context?

Ramu Narasinga — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 15:30:00 +0000

In this article, we review how the context is saved in context-mode. You will learn:

What is context-mode?
How is context saved?

What is context-mode?

Context mode is an MCP plugin that sandboxes tool output and indexes it into a local FTS5 store. Your AI coding agent searches that store instead of re-sending raw bytes every turn. 17 adapters. 586,000+ developers. Runs entirely on your machine.

I wrote a detailed article about what is Context mode.

How is context saved?

I use deepwiki.com to understand open source codebase. So I opened the to understand open source codebase. So I opened the and asked this question:

How does context-mode save the context?

It gave an answer with references to the actual code snippets and files.

Well, what’s a FTS5 index? FTS5 (Full-Text Search 5) is a SQLite virtual table module for full-text search. In context-mode, it’s the underlying engine that powers the knowledge base used by ctx_index/ctx_search to store and query indexed content without keeping raw bytes in the model's context. I will write about this in one of upcoming articles.

The concepts provided by Deepwiki are:

Sandboxed execution
Intent-driven filtering for large outputs
Persistent storage instead of raw dump
Response tracking/savings accounting
Concrete numeric evidence
Enforcement layer

Build durable agents with eve.

Ramu Narasinga — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 16:00:00 +0000

In this article, we review eve.dev. You will learn:

What is Eve?
Architecture
Usage Example

What is Eve?

eve is a filesystem-first framework for durable backend agents on Vercel.

You author an agent as a directory on disk. The directory is the contract - markdown for the parts a human should read like a spec, TypeScript for the parts that benefit from real types and runtime behavior.

The framework is called eve. The published npm package is eve. The CLI binary is eve.

Directory structure can be as shown below:

my-agent/
├── package.json
├── tsconfig.json
└── agent/
    ├── agent.ts           # additive runtime config (model, name, build, compaction, …)
    ├── instructions.md    # always-on instructions prompt
    ├── tools/             # typed executable integrations
    ├── skills/            # optional named procedures the model can load on demand
    ├── hooks/             # lifecycle and stream-event subscribers
    ├── channels/          # message ingress and delivery (HTTP, Slack, …)
    ├── connections/       # external MCP server connections
    ├── sandbox/           # the agent's single sandbox (optional override)
    ├── workspace/         # files seeded into the sandbox on each session
    ├── subagents/         # specialist child agents (reuse `defineAgent`)
    ├── schedules/         # recurring jobs
    └── lib/               # shared authored code imported by other files

Learn more about Eve.

Architecture

You do not need this section to author an eve agent - it documents the public HTTP protocol contracts so eve composes predictably with other systems.

eve's internal split is:

the channel normalizes inbound transport, applies auth and delivery policy, and owns channel-local addresses
the harness does one unit of AI work and returns { session, next }
the runtime persists state, follows next, streams events, and owns workflow primitives (start(), resumeHook(), createHook(), getWritable())

The public HTTP protocol exposes one immutable identifier: sessionId. Create a session explicitly, then use that ID for follow-up messages, controls, streaming, and inspection. Channel-local addresses remain behind authored channel APIs.

This is from Architecture section in packages/eve.

Usage Example

I picked this example from packages/eve README.

agent/instructions.md

You are a weather-focused assistant. Be concise, accurate, and explicit when you use a tool.

agent/tools/get_weather.ts

import { defineTool } from "eve/tools";
import { z } from "zod";

export default defineTool({
  description: "Get the current weather for a city.",
  inputSchema: z.object({
    city: z.string(),
  }),
  async execute(input) {
    return {
      city: input.city,
      condition: "Sunny",
      temperatureF: 72,
    };
  },
});

agent/agent.ts

import { defineAgent } from "eve";

export default defineAgent({
  model: "openai/gpt-5.4-mini",
});

and then you would do this:

npx eve@latest init my-agent

eve init writes a new agent with eve's default model. Pass --model openai/gpt-5.5 to choose another AI Gateway model, --reasoning high to set a reasoning effort, or --channel-web-nextjs to add the Web Chat application. It installs dependencies, initializes Git, and starts the development server. When it finds a supported coding-agent REPL, the handoff menu can open that REPL instead or exit. Targeting an existing project directory (eve init .) adds the agent files and missing dependencies instead. It does not create a Vercel project or deploy the agent.

Optimize context window for AI agents using Context-Mode.

Ramu Narasinga — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 15:30:00 +0000

In this article, we review Context-Mode. You will learn:

What is Context-Mode?
The problem
How Context Mode solves it

What is Context-Mode?

Context-Mode is the other half of the context problem — for developers and for engineering orgs. An MCP plugin that keeps raw data out of the LLM context window. A Platform that surfaces what your team is doing with the saved tokens. Same engine, two surfaces, your choice.

The problem

I read thru the context-mode README and found this problem statement which is accurate description of what goes into context window:

Every MCP tool call dumps raw data into your context window. A Playwright snapshot costs 56 KB. Twenty GitHub issues cost 59 KB. One access log — 45 KB. After 30 minutes, 40% of your context is gone. And when the agent compacts the conversation to free space, it forgets which files it was editing, what tasks are in progress, and what you last asked for. On top of that, the agent wastes output tokens on filler, pleasantries, and verbose explanations — burning context from both sides.

I mean tool call raw data can be heavy. I do use the Caveman, an open-source tool and skill designed for Caveman that strips filler words, pleasantries, and unnecessary phrasing from AI coding assistants like Claude Code to cut token usage by 65% to 75%. I configured it in my VS Code + Claude Code.

How Context Mode solves it

Context-Mode describes 4 sides of the problem:

Context Saving
Session Continuity
Think in Code
No prose-style enforcement

I did not quite understand what “Think in Code” meant here:

// Before: 47 × Read() = 700 KB.  After: 1 × ctx_execute() = 3.6 KB.
ctx_execute("javascript", `
  const files = fs.readdirSync('src').filter(f => f.endsWith('.ts'));
  files.forEach(f => console.log(f + ': ' + fs.readFileSync('src/'+f,'utf8').split('\\n').length + ' lines'));
`);

I mean you would want the contents of the file considered in the context window, not just the file names because file name alone does not tell you the entire story right?

Effect, a TypeScript library for building production-grade software.

Ramu Narasinga — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 16:00:00 +0000

In this article, we review Effect. You will learn:

What is Effect?
Usage examples.

What is Effect?

Effect is a TypeScript library for building production-grade software: typed error handling, structured concurrency, resource safety, and observability, all from one composable core.

Why Effect? I read thru this Welcome section in the Effect docs and it describes that TypeScript is excellent at describing your data, but it says almost nothing about your programs: a function’s signature doesn’t tell you what can fail, what dependencies it needs, or whether it can be safely retried, timed out, or interrupted. Effect closes that gap with a single building block: the Effect type, a value that fully describes a program, including its success value, its possible errors, and its requirements.

Learn more about how Effect is useful.

Usage examples

Follow the installation steps provided. In the learning path section, Creating effects explains how you can define the success and failure cases in a function.

Traditionally, we would do the following to handle errors in a TS function:

// Type signature doesn't show possible exceptions
const divide = (a: number, b: number): number => {
  if (b === 0) {
    throw new Error("Cannot divide by zero")
  }
  return a / b
}

divide(4, 2) // => 2

but this function’s type signature do not indicate that they can throw exceptions. Now with Effect, you could rewrite this division function as shown below:

import { Effect } from "effect"

const divide = (a: number, b: number): Effect.Effect<number, Error> =>
  b === 0
    ? Effect.fail(new Error("Cannot divide by zero"))
    : Effect.succeed(a / b)

Effect.runSync(divide(4, 2)) // => 2

In this example, the divide function indicates in its return type Effect that the operation can either succeed with a number or fail with an Error.

      ┌─── Produces a value of type number
         │       ┌─── Fails with an Error
         ▼       ▼
Effect<number, Error>

Below is another example, simulating a user retrieval operation:

import { Effect } from "effect"

// Define a User type
interface User {
  readonly id: number
  readonly name: string
}

// A mocked function to simulate fetching a user from a database
const getUser = (userId: number): Effect.Effect<User, Error> => {
  // Normally, you would access a database or API here, but we'll mock it
  const userDatabase: Record<number, User> = {
    1: { id: 1, name: "John Doe" },
    2: { id: 2, name: "Jane Smith" },
  }

  // Check if the user exists in our "database" and return appropriately
  const user = userDatabase[userId]
  if (user) {
    return Effect.succeed(user)
  } else {
    return Effect.fail(new Error("User not found"))
  }
}

// When executed, this will successfully return the user with id 1
const exampleUserEffect = getUser(1)

Effect.runSync(exampleUserEffect).name // => "John Doe"

.nix files in Openscreen codebase.

Ramu Narasinga — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 15:30:00 +0000

In this article, we review .nix files in the openscreen codebase. You will learn:

What is Openscreen?
What is .nix file?
How is this used in Openscreen?

What is Openscreen?

Using Openscreen, record your screen, ship a demo. Free and open-source, GPU-accelerated, no watermarks, no subscriptions. Windows, macOS, Linux. Actively maintained.

Features

Record a specific window, or your whole screen.
Record microphone and system audio.
Webcam overlay with picture-in-picture, drag-to-position, mirroring, and shape options.
Auto or manual zooms with adjustable depth, duration, easing, and pixel-precise position; auto-zoom follows your cursor as you work.
Custom cursor size, smoothing, and click effects, with cursor themes and post-recording path smoothing.

and much more, check out Core Features on Openscreen README.

What is .nix file?

I found a nix folder in the Openscreen codebase.

.nix file is a plain text file that contains a declarative code expression written in the Nix language to build software packages, manage system settings, or create reproducible development environments. At this point, you would find out what a Nix language is right? So I visited nix.dev.

Nix.dev

Nix is a tool for people who both need computers to do exactly as intended, repeatably, far into the future, and who are familiar with command line interfaces and plain text editors.

What can you do with Nix?

With the Nix ecosystem, you can:

Reproducible development environments.
Easy installation of software over URLs.
Easy transfer of software environments between computers.
Declarative specification of Linux machines.
Reproducible integration testing using virtual machines.
Avoidance of version conflicts with already installed software.
Installing software from source code.
Transparent build caching using binary caches.
Strong support for software auditability
First-class cross compilation support.
Remote builds.
Remote deployments.
Atomic upgrades and rollbacks.

How is this used in Openscreen?

So we want to find out what nix folder is for. I went deepwiki.com and searched for Openscreen and pasted the prompt shown in the above image. Deepwiki indexes public, open source repository so you can chat with any codebase and try to understand the concepts and architecture of open source repos.

This was the response — https://deepwiki.com/search/how-is-the-nix-folder-used-in_76b443b2-8f39-4129-a6d7-e738c9d0ec18?mode=fast

The nix/ folder provides a declarative, reproducible Linux packaging path for OpenScreen using Nix Flakes, as an alternative to the electron-builder-based build system build-and-packaging.md:1-3 .

How nix is wired together in Openscreen?

flake.nix calls each derivation via pkgs.callPackage, injecting ffmpeg-lgpl into compositor-view and pipewire-helper, then feeds all three native outputs into nix/package.nix flake.nix:39-48 . The final openscreen binary is a makeWrapper-generated script around system electron, with env vars (OPENSCREEN_FFMPEG_PATH, OPENSCREEN_COMPOSITOR_VIEW_NODE, OPENSCREEN_LINUX_CURSOR_HELPER_EXE, OPENSCREEN_WHISPER_SERVER_EXE) that let the app's runtime resolution logic (e.g. audioPeaks.ts, pipeWireCursorRecordingSession.ts) find these native binaries without relying on the electron-builder resource layout package.nix:94-123 .

What is Gitleaks?

Gitleaks an open-source secret scanner for git repositories, files, and directories. With over 16 million docker downloads, 17k GitHub stars, 9 million GitHub Downloads, thousands of weekly clones, and over 700k homebrew installs, gitleaks is the most trusted open-source secret scanner among security professionals, enterprises, and developers. Gitleaks is maintained by Zach Rice.

Gitleaks-Action is the official Gitleaks GitHub Action. You can use it to automatically run a gitleaks scan on all your team's pull requests and commits, or run on-demand scans. For a short demonstration of Gitleaks-Action, you can check out this GIF or read about the features in the redme. If you are scanning repos that belong to a GitHub personal account, then no license key is required. If you are scanning repos that belong to a GitHub organization account, then you'll have to obtain a free license below.

Below is a usage example I found on gitleaks-actions.

Error-severity failures fail doctor (exit 1); advisory failures stay visible without changing the exit code; timeouts, spawn errors, bad JSON, and malformed entries become bounded fail-loud rows (50-row/256KiB/300-char caps).\n\nDisabled plugins stay inert. Findings flow into --doctor --export via the existing adaptLegacyResult merge. test-pro ships the reference script.\n\nCloses #796",

well, I needed to understand what baseline meant here, so I took a closer look at README and found this section — Creating a baseline.

When scanning large repositories or repositories with a long history, it can be convenient to use a baseline. When using a baseline, gitleaks will ignore any old findings that are present in the baseline. A baseline can be any gitleaks report. To create a gitleaks report, run gitleaks with the --report-path parameter. — Source.

What is Openship?

Openship is an Open-source, self-hostable deployment platform with built-in CI/CD. Point it at a repo - it builds, ships, routes, and TLS-terminates your app. Drive it from a desktop app, web dashboard, or CLI.

I checked their docs and there are few important things worth mentioning about how you run Openship itself. There's three ways:

You are solo and run one machine, no ops:

It is recommended to run the Openship as a Desktop app. You can download Openship Desktop app Your apps run on a server that ssh over

You are a team/part of team

It is recommended to self host a server and spinup Openship.

Don't want to self-host?

Openship provides cloud alternative, starts from $10 per month at the time of writing this article, check their pricing.

What is Tauri?

Ramu Narasinga — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 15:30:00 +0000

In this article, we review Tauri. You will learn:

What is Tauri?
Tauri usage in worldmonitor repo

What is Tauri?

Tauri is a framework for building tiny, fast binaries for all major desktop and mobile platforms. Developers can integrate any frontend framework that compiles to HTML, JavaScript, and CSS for building their user experience while leveraging languages such as Rust, Swift, and Kotlin for backend logic when needed.

You can create a tauri app using the below command:

pnpm create tauri-app

after you create your project, you can check the project structure.

Why Tauri?

Tauri has 3 main advantages for developers to build upon:

Secure foundation for building apps
Smaller bundle size by using the system’s native webview
Flexibility for developers to use any frontend and bindings for multiple languages

Tauri usage in worldmonitor repo

I noticed the folder src-tauri, if you remember project structure generated using create-tauri-app, it looks like below:

javascript
.
├── package.json
├── index.html
├── src/
│   ├── main.js
├── src-tauri/
│   ├── Cargo.toml
│   ├── Cargo.lock
│   ├── build.rs
│   ├── tauri.conf.json
│   ├── src/
│   │   ├── main.rs
│   │   └── lib.rs
│   ├── icons/
│   │   ├── icon.png
│   │   ├── icon.icns
│   │   └── icon.ico
│   └── capabilities/
│       └── default.json

Tauri provides flexible architecture, any frontend framework is compatible with Tauri. That said, you might be wondering what Worldmonitor is.
