Tools I maintain.

Design decisions

• → Local-first, cloud-optional: Ollama and LM Studio support means zero API costs for private video analysis. OpenRouter provides cloud fallback for teams without local GPU capacity.
• → MCP server for IDE integration: Runs as an MCP server inside Claude Code, Cursor, and Claude Desktop. Agents call it as a tool — no copy-paste, no manual file handling.
• → Apple Silicon optimized: MLX Whisper for transcription on M-series chips. Frame extraction and model inference tuned for macOS Metal. Significantly faster than cloud round-trips for local workflows.

Design decisions

• → Security hooks that actually block secrets: block-secrets.py intercepts every read/write and checks against 30+ credential filenames, 8 extensions, 7 protected directories. verify-no-secrets.sh scans 50+ secret patterns on session end.
• → Notion second brain for persistent memory: Claude fetches project context from Notion at session start and saves a summary on exit. Context cached locally with 1-hour TTL. No more re-explaining your architecture every session.
• → RTK for 60-90% token savings: Rust Token Killer proxies CLI commands and filters verbose output. git status that costs 800 tokens costs 80. Compounds across a full day of coding.
• → Opt-out hook architecture: Every hook is independent. Delete what you don't want. The installer shows diffs before touching existing config and backs up everything first.

Design decisions

• → Zero-cost architecture: GitHub Pages + GitHub Actions cron = /bin/zsh/month. No servers, no databases, no build tools. Actions fetch data daily and commit static JSON files that Pages serves directly.
• → LLM/Agent-first design: Ships with /llms.txt (emerging AI agent standard), /llms-full.txt with complete data reference, OpenAPI 3.0 spec, and 5 JSON-LD schemas including FAQPage rich snippets. AI crawlers explicitly allowed in robots.txt.
• → DSE ticker parser: The DSE website uses a ticker format with nested mini-tables, not a standard data table. Custom regex parser extracts 276 stocks. Index values parsed from embedded Dygraph JavaScript time-series data.
