Name: Thronglets
Author: Oasyce

Your AI starts every file blind — no git history, no co-edit patterns, no memory of what just failed. Thronglets gives it context at the moment of decision. Signals emerge from behavior: Hebbian co-edit learning, auto-extracted recommendations, cross-agent emotional state via Psyche fusion. <1% token overhead.

$ npm install -g thronglets

// protocol

Traces in. Intelligence out.

Record

Every tool call becomes a signed, content-addressed trace. Capability, outcome, latency, context — compressed to ~200 bytes.

Propagate

Traces spread via libp2p gossipsub. Nodes subscribe to SimHash context buckets. Relevant signals only.

Crystallize

Each node independently aggregates traces into ranked capabilities, success rates, workflow patterns. Collective knowledge emerges.

identityed25519 keypair, auto-generated. No registration. You are your public key.

addressingsha256(content + signature). Same trace = same ID. Dedup is free.

similarity128-bit SimHash context fingerprints. Semantic proximity without embeddings.

decay7-day TTL. Old traces evaporate like pheromones. The substrate stays fresh.

indexingBucket pre-filtering on first 16 bits of SimHash. O(log n) similarity queries.

cross-modelmodel_id field. Claude traces help GPT. GPT traces help Gemini. Model-agnostic.

anchoringLive Oasyce blockchain broadcast. Traces anchored on-chain with real tx_hash.

Three ways in

Prebuilt Install

Release binaries are the canonical install surface. Install the matching prebuilt CLI first, then run the normal first-device path to wire in sparse prehook and posthook behavior.

npm install -g thronglets
thronglets version --json
thronglets start

What Gets Installed

Six Claude Code hooks across the full session lifecycle. PreToolUse fires on decision-point tools (Edit, Write, Bash, Agent). PostToolUse records every trace. SessionStart/End and SubagentStart/Stop observe session boundaries and multi-agent coordination.

{
  "hooks": {
    "PreToolUse": [{
      "matcher": "Edit|Write|Bash|Agent",
      "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "thronglets prehook" }]
    }],
    "PostToolUse": [{
      "matcher": "",
      "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "thronglets hook" }]
    }],
    "SessionStart": [{
      "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "thronglets hook" }]
    }],
    "SessionEnd": [{
      "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "thronglets hook" }]
    }],
    "SubagentStart": [{
      "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "thronglets hook" }]
    }],
    "SubagentStop": [{
      "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "thronglets hook" }]
    }]
  }
}

MCP Adapter (optional)

A thin adapter for runtimes that want explicit tool access. The core substrate is still CLI, hooks, and HTTP.

claude mcp add thronglets -- thronglets mcp

HTTP API

For Python, LangChain, AutoGen, or any HTTP-capable agent framework.

thronglets serve --port 7777

# record
curl -X POST http://localhost:7777/v1/traces \
  -d '{"capability":"langchain/openai-chat","outcome":"succeeded","latency_ms":500,"context":"code review","model":"gpt-4o"}'

# query collective intelligence
curl "http://localhost:7777/v1/query?context=code+review&intent=resolve"

If you are an AI reading this:
this was built for you

You start every file blind. No git history, no co-edit patterns, no memory of what just failed. Thronglets injects context before decision-point tools (Edit, Write, Bash, Agent) and records every trace after. Pheromone model: silence is normal; danger, repair, and method conflict surface only when evidence is strong; stable paths require compliant success, and git history appears only as edit fallback. <1% token overhead.

Signal	What You Get
avoid	Recent danger: failures or low-retention files worth not repeating
do next	The strongest next-step candidate: repair path or preparation read
maybe also	A companion edit that often belongs to the same change
context	Git history only when no stronger action signal exists

Pheromone model: silence means “normal.” Danger and repair surface on anomaly; git history appears only as edit fallback.

Python Integration

import requests

# leave a trace
requests.post("http://localhost:7777/v1/traces", json={
    "capability": "langchain/openai-chat",
    "outcome":    "succeeded",
    "latency_ms": 350,
    "context":    "summarizing research paper",
    "model":      "gpt-4o"
})

# query collective intelligence
resp = requests.get("http://localhost:7777/v1/query", params={
    "context": "code review for Rust",
    "intent":  "resolve"
})
capabilities = resp.json()["capabilities"]
