|
||||

|
||||
| Metric | Current value | Notes |
|

|--------|---------------|-------|
|
||||
| Rust LOC | **~86,000** | `crates/` + `tests/` `.rs` files |
|
||||
| MCP tools | **25** | Verified in `server.rs` (`tools.len() == 25`) |
|
||||
| Cognitive modules | **30** | Per README architecture |
|
||||
| Rust tests | **1,200+** | CHANGELOG v2.1.0: 1,229 passing; re-run before major launch |
|
||||
| Dashboard tests | **171** | Vitest in `apps/dashboard` |
|
||||
| Release binary | **~22MB** | Single binary, embedded SvelteKit dashboard |
|
||||
| Embedding model | Nomic Embed Text v1.5 (~130MB first-run download) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Install (canonical — no `sudo mv`)
|
||||
|
||||
The npm package registers global bins via `postinstall`. **Do not** tell users to `sudo mv vestige-mcp` unless manual binary install failed.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install -g vestige-mcp-server@latest
|
||||
vestige health
|
||||
claude mcp add vestige vestige-mcp -s user
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If `vestige-mcp` is not on PATH after install:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm prefix -g # e.g. /usr/local or ~/.npm-global
|
||||
# Ensure that path/bin is in your shell PATH
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Manual binary placement (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
vestige update --install-dir /usr/local/bin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Messaging guardrails
|
||||
|
||||
- Lead Wave A with **Receipt Lock** (agents overclaim "tests passed").
|
||||
- Close Wave B with **cognitive memory** (FSRS-6, dreaming, 3D dashboard).
|
||||
- Never: "revolutionary", "game-changer", "AI-powered", competitor bashing.
|
||||
- Always: honest neuroscience (faithful implementations vs engineering heuristics).
|
||||

# Vestige vs Mem0 vs RAG vs Native AI Memory
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical comparison for launch posts and arguments. Grounded in [SCIENCE.md](SCIENCE.md) and [LAUNCH_STATS.md](LAUNCH_STATS.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## One-line thesis
|
||||
|
||||
**RAG is retrieval. Native memory is a black box. Mem0 is a strong cloud memory API. Vestige is a local cognitive system that forgets, strengthens, dreams, and can block unverified agent claims.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Comparison table
|
||||
|
||||
| Capability | RAG / vector DB | Native AI memory (Claude, ChatGPT) | Mem0 | Vestige |
|
||||
|------------|-----------------|-------------------------------------|------|---------|
|
||||
| **Runs local** | Often cloud embeddings | Cloud only | Cloud API (local option limited) | **100% local** default |
|
||||
| **You own the data** | Your infra | Vendor | Vendor / API | **SQLite on your disk** |
|
||||
| **Forgetting curve** | None — equal weight forever | Opaque | Categories + metadata | **FSRS-6** power-law decay |
|
||||
| **Duplicate handling** | Manual | Opaque | Some dedup | **Prediction Error Gating** on ingest |
|
||||
| **Retrieval strengthens memory** | No | Unknown | Partial | **Testing Effect** on every search |
|
||||
| **Offline consolidation** | No | No | No | **`dream`** — replay + connect |
|
||||
| **Contradiction awareness** | Returns both chunks | No | Some products | **`deep_reference` / `contradictions`** |
|
||||
| **Active suppression** | Delete only | No | Delete | **`suppress`** — inhibited, not erased |
|
||||
| **Agent overclaim guard** | No | No | No | **Receipt Lock** (optional Sanhedrin hooks) |
|
||||
| **Visualization** | None | None | Dashboard (cloud) | **3D graph** + WebSocket events |
|
||||
| **Protocol** | Custom | Proprietary | API + MCP | **MCP** (25 tools) |
|
||||
| **License** | Varies | Proprietary | Apache / commercial | **AGPL-3.0** (local use = free) |
|
||||
|
||||
## When to use what
|
||||
|
||||
### Use RAG when
|
||||
|
||||
- You have a fixed document corpus (PDFs, wiki, codebase index).
|
||||
- You need one-shot Q&A over static content.
|
||||
- You do not need memory lifecycle or session continuity.
|
||||
|
||||
### Use Mem0 when
|
||||
|
||||
- You want a hosted memory API with minimal setup.
|
||||
- Team sync and cloud dashboards are acceptable.
|
||||
- You do not need FSRS decay or local-only air-gapped deploy.
|
||||
|
||||
### Use native Claude/ChatGPT memory when
|
||||
|
||||
- Casual personal context is enough.
|
||||
- You do not need inspectable storage, decay curves, or contradiction tooling.
|
||||
|
||||
### Use Vestige when
|
||||
|
||||
- You run **Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any MCP client** daily.
|
||||
- Context bloat from "remember everything" hurts retrieval quality.
|
||||
- **Contradicting memories** have burned you (config changed, lib upgraded).
|
||||
- You want **Receipt Lock** so agents cannot fake "tests passed."
|
||||
- **Privacy / air-gapped** matters — embeddings run locally via ONNX.
|
||||
|
||||
## Honest limitations (Vestige)
|
||||
|
||||
- **AGPL-3.0**: hosting as a service without source disclosure is not allowed.
|
||||
- **First-run download**: ~130MB embedding model (then offline).
|
||||
- **Receipt Lock** requires optional Claude Code Cognitive Sandwich hooks + a verifier endpoint for Sanhedrin.
|
||||
- **Neuroscience modules** mix faithful implementations and engineering heuristics — see [SCIENCE.md](SCIENCE.md) for citations vs approximations.
|
||||
- **Solo project**: no enterprise SLA; GitHub issues are the support channel.
|
||||
|
||||
## Receipt Lock (Vestige-only)
|
||||
|
||||
Coding agents often end sessions with:
|
||||
|
||||
> "All tests passed. Build is green. Ready to merge."
|
||||
|
||||
Receipt Lock checks those **operational claims** against structured command receipts from the transcript. No matching successful receipt → claim blocked, local veto receipt written under `~/.vestige/sanhedrin/`.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
vestige sandwich install --enable-sanhedrin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Details: [README Receipt Lock section](../README.md#receipt-lock).
|
||||
|
||||
## Install
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|

npm install -g vestige-mcp-server@latest

```
|
||||
Show HN: Vestige – blocks coding agents from claiming "tests passed" without receipts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### First comment (body)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Hi HN,
|
||||
|
||||
Your coding agent probably ends sessions with something like "all tests passed" or
|
||||
"the build is green." I kept trusting that — until it wasn't true.
|
||||
|
||||
I built Receipt Lock in Vestige (an MCP memory server I maintain). Before operational
|
||||
claims become part of the final answer, Vestige checks them against structured
|
||||
command receipts from the current transcript. No matching successful receipt → the
|
||||
claim can be blocked and a local veto receipt is written (JSON + HTML under
|
||||
~/.vestige/sanhedrin/).
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is:** Optional Claude Code Cognitive Sandwich hooks + local MCP server.
|
||||
Not cloud. Not "trust me bro" logging — inspectable receipts on disk.
|
||||
|
||||
**Install (memory server — required base):**
|
||||
npm install -g vestige-mcp-server@latest
|
||||
claude mcp add vestige vestige-mcp -s user
|
||||
|
||||
**Enable Receipt Lock (optional):**
|
||||
vestige sandwich install --enable-sanhedrin
|
||||
|
||||
Sanhedrin verifier can point at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, MLX, hosted API).
|
||||
|
||||
**And it also does real memory:** FSRS-6 spaced repetition, prediction error gating,
|
||||
memory dreaming, 3D dashboard at localhost:3927. ~86K LOC Rust, 25 MCP tools, 1,200+
|
||||
tests, 22MB binary. 100% local after first embedding download.

|
||||
### Title
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
My coding agent kept saying "tests passed" when they hadn't. I added a receipt check before the summary ships.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Body
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
**TL;DR:** Vestige Receipt Lock checks operational claims ("tests passed", "build green", "lint clean") against structured command receipts from the transcript. No receipt → block + local veto artifact.
|
||||
|
||||
**The failure mode:** Agent runs partial checks, or hallucinates a green ending. You merge. CI breaks. You've seen this.
|
||||
|
||||
**The fix:** Optional hooks (`vestige sandwich install --enable-sanhedrin`) + MCP memory server. When the model tries to assert verification without evidence, Vestige can veto and write `~/.vestige/sanhedrin/latest.html` so you can inspect what happened.
|
||||
|
||||
**Not a replacement for CI.** It's a last-mile guard on *agent-authored* summaries in Claude Code.
|
||||
|
||||
**Stack:** Rust, local, MCP. Same project also does FSRS-6 cognitive memory (decay, dreaming, contradiction tools) — I'll post that angle separately if people want the science side.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install -g vestige-mcp-server@latest

## X / Twitter thread (8 posts)
|

|

1. Your coding agent ends with "tests passed." Did it run tests? Or did it summarize hope?
|
||||
|
||||
2. I ship Receipt Lock in Vestige — checks operational claims against command receipts from the transcript.
|
||||
|
||||
3. No matching successful receipt → claim blocked. Local veto receipt: `~/.vestige/sanhedrin/latest.html`
|
||||
|
||||
4. Optional hooks. Local MCP server. Not cloud analytics.
|
||||
|
||||
5. ```bash
|
||||
npm i -g vestige-mcp-server@latest
|
||||
claude mcp add vestige vestige-mcp -s user
|
||||
vestige sandwich install --enable-sanhedrin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
6. Same binary also does FSRS-6 memory — decay, dreaming, 3D brain viz. Thread on that tomorrow.

# Vestige Marketing Agent Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
You are the marketing operator for **Vestige** (v2.1.23). You have access to a **dedicated** Vestige MCP instance (`vestige-marketing` / `VESTIGE_DATA_DIR=~/.vestige-marketing`). Never confuse this with the user's dev memory.
|
||||
|
||||
## Product facts (do not invent stats)
|
||||
|
||||
Read [docs/LAUNCH_STATS.md](../../LAUNCH_STATS.md) before drafting. Current anchors:
|
||||
|
||||
- ~86K LOC Rust, 25 MCP tools, 30 cognitive modules, 1,200+ tests, 22MB binary
|
||||
- Install: `npm install -g vestige-mcp-server@latest` + `claude mcp add vestige vestige-mcp -s user`
|
||||
- Wave A hook: **Receipt Lock** — blocks "tests passed" without command receipts
|
||||
- Wave B product: **FSRS-6 cognitive memory**, dreaming, 3D dashboard
|
||||
- Comparison: [docs/comparison.md](../../comparison.md)
|
||||
- Author: Sam Valladares, 22, solo, AGPL-3.0
|
||||
|
||||
## Session start
|
||||
|
||||
1. `session_context` with query: `vestige marketing launch hooks objections`
|
||||
2. `deep_reference` if drafting factual claims about features or competitors
|
||||
3. `contradictions` if messaging might conflict with prior brand guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
## Voice
|
||||
|
||||
- Technical, humble, specific — never "revolutionary", "game-changer", "AI-powered"
|
||||
- Lead with **pain** (agent amnesia, fake green builds, contradicting memories)
|
||||
- Reveal **tool** second
|
||||
- Acknowledge Mem0, native Claude memory, RAG honestly — do not bash
|
||||
- Neuroscience: cite real papers; admit heuristics where approximate
|
||||
|
||||
## On user feedback
|
||||
|
||||
- Winning hook / post → `memory` promote on that memory
|
||||
- Flopped angle → `suppress` (not delete)
|
||||
- New objection → `smart_ingest` with tags `marketing, objection`
|
||||
- User correction → `smart_ingest` + demote wrong memory if needed

||||

1. **One long-form** (800–1200 words): expand top objection OR one cognitive module OR Receipt Lock story
|
||||
2. **3–5 short posts** (X/LinkedIn): each ≤280 chars or ≤2 short paragraphs
|
||||
3. **One Reddit draft** (technical, humble title — pain first)
|
||||
4. **Metrics summary** paragraph for ingest after user fills tracker
|

## Channels (user posts manually)
|

You draft only. User sends all posts and DMs to avoid bans and keep authenticity.
|

| Channel | Style |
|

| HN | Show HN title ≤80 chars; first comment = full body; science-first |
|

| Reddit | Personal story + JSON output + install block; no "introducing my startup" |
|
||||
| X | 8–12 tweet thread; hook tweet must stand alone |
|
||||
| LinkedIn | Professional, link comparison.md |
|

## End of week

```
|

dream with focus on marketing memories tagged vestige-launch from the last 7 days.
|

Return: top 3 hooks to promote, top 2 to suppress, one recommended post for next week.
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Hard rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Do not claim Vestige replaces CI/CD or enterprise memory suites
|
||||
- Do not fabricate download numbers — use metrics-tracker.md only
|
||||
- Do not tell users `sudo mv` for install unless manual binary path failed
|
||||
- Always include GitHub link: https://github.com/samvallad33/vestige

# Vestige Marketing Growth Engine
|
||||
|
||||
Repeatable weekly loop: Vestige remembers what worked, Claude Code drafts what’s next, you approve and post manually.
|
||||
|
||||
## One-time setup
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Dedicated marketing memory store
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/.vestige-marketing
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add a **second** MCP server entry (do not mix with dev memory):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
claude mcp add vestige-marketing vestige-mcp -s user \
|
||||
--env VESTIGE_DATA_DIR=$HOME/.vestige-marketing
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If your client does not support env on `mcp add`, use a wrapper script:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# ~/bin/vestige-mcp-marketing
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
export VESTIGE_DATA_DIR="$HOME/.vestige-marketing"
|
||||
exec vestige-mcp "$@"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Copy marketing agent instructions
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp docs/marketing/growth-engine/MARKETING-CLAUDE.md ~/vestige-marketing-CLAUDE.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In Claude Code for marketing sessions, include that file (or paste into project instructions).
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Seed baseline memories
|
||||
|
||||
Open Claude Code with `vestige-marketing` connected and run:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Read docs/LAUNCH_STATS.md, docs/comparison.md, and docs/marketing/metrics-tracker.md.
|
||||
smart_ingest each as separate marketing baseline memories with tags: marketing, baseline, vestige-launch.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Weekly loop (≈2 hours)
|
||||
|
||||
| Step | Who | Action |
|
||||
|------|-----|--------|
|
||||
| Mon AM | You | Fill `metrics-tracker.md` row |
|
||||
| Mon | Agent | `session_context` with query "vestige marketing launch" |
|
||||
| Mon | Agent | Draft 1 long-form + 3–5 shorts from last week's `promote`d hooks |
|
||||
| Mon | You | Edit and post manually (HN/Reddit/X/LinkedIn) |
|
||||
| Fri | You | Log engagement URLs + numbers |
|
||||
| Fri | Agent | `smart_ingest` weekly metrics + objections |
|
||||
| Fri | Agent | `dream` on tag `vestige-launch` for next week's angles |
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool cheat sheet
|
||||
|
||||
| Goal | Tool |
|
||||
|------|------|
|
||||
| Load brand voice + past wins | `session_context` |
|
||||
| Save post results | `smart_ingest` |
|
||||
| Recall winning hooks | `search` / `deep_reference` |
|
||||
| Retire dead angles | `suppress` |
|
||||
| Boost viral hook | `memory` action=promote |
|
||||
| Weekly strategy | `dream` |
|
||||
|
||||
## Dogfood story (meta-content)
|
||||
|
||||
> "I use Vestige to market Vestige — marketing memories live in a separate data dir, FSRS promotes hooks that converted, suppress kills angles that flopped."
|
||||
|
||||
Post this on X after Week 2 if metrics show engagement.

Hi HN,
|
||||
|
||||
Your coding agent probably ends sessions with something like "all tests passed" or
|
||||
"the build is green." I kept trusting that — until it wasn't true.
|
||||
|
||||
I built Receipt Lock in Vestige (an MCP memory server I maintain). Before operational
|
||||
claims become part of the final answer, Vestige checks them against structured
|
||||
command receipts from the current transcript. No matching successful receipt → the
|
||||
claim can be blocked and a local veto receipt is written (JSON + HTML under
|
||||
~/.vestige/sanhedrin/).
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is:** Optional Claude Code Cognitive Sandwich hooks + local MCP server.
|
||||
Not cloud. Not "trust me bro" logging — inspectable receipts on disk.
|
||||
|
||||
**Install (memory server — required base):**
|
||||
npm install -g vestige-mcp-server@latest
|
||||
claude mcp add vestige vestige-mcp -s user
|
||||
|
||||
**Enable Receipt Lock (optional):**
|
||||
vestige sandwich install --enable-sanhedrin
|
||||
|
||||
Sanhedrin verifier can point at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, MLX, hosted API).
|
||||
|
||||
**And it also does real memory:** FSRS-6 spaced repetition, prediction error gating,
|
||||
memory dreaming, 3D dashboard at localhost:3927. ~86K LOC Rust, 25 MCP tools, 1,200+
|
||||
tests, 22MB binary. 100% local after first embedding download.

Show HN: Vestige – blocks coding agents from claiming "tests passed" without receipts

My coding agent kept saying "tests passed" when they hadn't. I added a receipt check before the summary ships.
|

|
|||
**TL;DR:** Vestige Receipt Lock checks operational claims ("tests passed", "build green", "lint clean") against structured command receipts from the transcript. No receipt → block + local veto artifact.
|
||||
|
||||
**The failure mode:** Agent runs partial checks, or hallucinates a green ending. You merge. CI breaks. You've seen this.
|
||||
|
||||
**The fix:** Optional hooks (`vestige sandwich install --enable-sanhedrin`) + MCP memory server. When the model tries to assert verification without evidence, Vestige can veto and write `~/.vestige/sanhedrin/latest.html` so you can inspect what happened.
|
||||
|
||||
**Not a replacement for CI.** It's a last-mile guard on *agent-authored* summaries in Claude Code.
|
||||
|
||||
**Stack:** Rust, local, MCP. Same project also does FSRS-6 cognitive memory (decay, dreaming, contradiction tools) — I'll post that angle separately if people want the science side.

<h2>Wave A: Receipt Lock</h2>
|
||||
<div class="hook">Coding agents finish with confident summaries. Vestige checks operational claims against structured command receipts before they become your final answer.</div>
|
||||
<p>If the agent claims verification happened but no matching successful receipt exists, the claim can be blocked and an inspectable local veto is written to <code>~/.vestige/sanhedrin/</code>.</p>
|
||||

<p>Memories decay on FSRS-6 curves. Search strengthens them (Testing Effect). <code>dream</code> consolidates offline. The 3D dashboard shows pulses, connections, and dream replay in real time.</p>
