Open-Source

23 comprehension runs across 10 models (Claude Opus/Sonnet/Haiku, GPT-5.5/5.4/5.4-mini, Gemini 2.5 Flash/Pro, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 3.5 Flash). Generation eval across 11 models and 3 providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google). GCF wins 22, ties 1, loses 0 on comprehension. GCF achieves 5/5 valid generation on every frontier model with zero prior training. TOON fails 0/5 on generation with Opus, GPT-5.4, GPT-5.4-mini, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite. JSON breaks on input at 500 symbols.

codegraph has 19K GitHub stars. GitNexus has 40K. Aider has 20K. We benchmarked 7 systems on 302 tasks across 17 codebases, 8 languages. knowing is 3.79x more precise than codegraph, 6.00x vs GitNexus, 6.35x vs Gortex, 22.0x vs grep. 13 self-adapting mechanisms that compound over time.

We inserted GCF into TOON’s benchmark harness. Same datasets, same tokenizer, same methodology. GCF uses 34% fewer tokens on mixed-structure data, matches TOON on flat data, and achieves 100% LLM comprehension accuracy where JSON fails at 66.7%.

We indexed 300 popular packages with knowing’s code graph, computed isolation scores based on credential access + process spawning patterns, and achieved a 1.0% false positive rate across both the initial 200 and a held-out 100. No sandbox. No execution. No heuristics. Just graph structure.

Your Go CLI tool is on GitHub Releases. 80% of developers will never find it there. Here’s how to put it on pip and npm with 50 lines of bash, getting a 12x download multiplier. Full technique with scripts, numbers, and the release pipeline that ties it together.

Rigorous benchmark of AI agent code retrieval: 107 tasks, 5 repos, 5 languages, 4 competitors. grep precision: 2%. GitNexus: 7.6%. knowing: 23% (11.5x better, p<0.0001). Plus: 193x faster indexing, 28x less RAM, 48x more token-efficient than Repomix. The first statistically validated comparison of code intelligence tools for AI agents.

We built a reproducible experiment measuring how many tokens AI coding agents consume when navigating code with grep vs LSP. On HashiCorp Consul (319K lines), LSP uses 34x fewer tokens. On a TypeScript rename across 24 files: 1,441x fewer bytes. The experiment covers 4 codebases, 3 languages, 13 tasks covering 7 agent workflows.

MCP servers are the tools AI agents rely on. We tested 55 of them with mcp-assert, found 20 bugs across 9 servers, and submitted fix PRs. Grafana and Ant Group merged ours. Three days after launch, Ant Group’s visualization team asked us to integrate mcp-assert into their CI. The most common failure: servers throw unhandled exceptions instead of returning isError, leaving agents unable to recover.

I needed AI agents to reliably rename symbols, find references, and check diagnostics without silent failures. The existing MCP-LSP tools were stateless, feature-poor, and untested. So I built agent-lsp: a persistent runtime with 50 tools, 20 provider-agnostic skills, speculative execution, and an audit trail for every AI-driven edit.
