An offline developer tool that gives AI coding agents a self-maintaining codebase notebook alongside exact file, symbol, import, and call-graph navigation.

Why it surfaced

coldstart makes a specific argument about agent memory: preserve exact code relationships locally and let the model handle meaning, rather than adding embeddings or another API bill. Its homepage documents the mechanism, MIT license, repository workflow, and measured token reductions on two real applications, with recall reported as equal or better.

A File Musicians Can Argue With

August 7’s newborn domains include editable orchestral scores with up to 33 staves, 15 years of Valencia council interventions, a dementia-friendly frame with one optional button, and a memorial golf tournament whose winner wears the Meatball Jacket.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-07 Domain Arrivals issue.
