• Show HN: Goatedcontext, a CLI for persistent developer context · score 6.5

  goatedcontext is a CLI tool that gives coding agents persistent developer context across sessions by storing preferences, signals, and proposals in a local SQLite database. It integrates with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and MCP agents, using a structured memory model with human approval for inferred rules. The project includes a reproducible benchmark showing improved preference adherence and fresh-session retention, though retrieval recall remains a bottleneck.

• Show HN: DevShelf – 500 free developer tools with a CLI and validation bot · score 6.3
