  • MemPalace has no other official websites.
  • The only official sources are this GitHub repository, the PyPI package, and the docs at mempalaceofficial.com.
  • Any other domain (including .tech, .net, or other .com variants) is an impostor and may distribute malware.

Results & evidence

  • Verbatim storage, pluggable backend, 96.6% R@5 raw on LongMemEval — zero API calls.
  • Important Claude Code sessions expire in 30 days without auto-save hooks wired.

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.

Context

Straight from my .agents directory.

What's new

Approaches like GSD, BMAD, and Spec-Kit try to help by owning the process.

Key details

  • My agent skills that I use every day to do real engineering - not vibe coding.
  • Developing real applications is hard.
  • Approaches like GSD, BMAD, and Spec-Kit try to help by owning the process.
  • But while doing so, they take away your control and make bugs in the process hard to resolve.

Results & evidence

  • If you want to keep up with changes to these skills, and any new ones I create, you can join ~60,000 other devs on my newsletter: Two ways in, two philosophies.

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
  • Track whether independent teams report matching results.

Production-grade engineering skills for AI coding agents.

What's new

Production-grade engineering skills for AI coding agents.

Key details

  • Skills encode the workflows, quality gates, and best practices that senior engineers use when building software.
  • These ones are packaged so AI agents follow them consistently across every phase of development.

Limitations / unknowns

  • It removes the human stepping between tasks, not the verification: every task is still test-driven and committed individually, and it pauses on failures or risky steps.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
  • Track whether independent teams report matching results.

arXiv:2411.15122v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AI-driven models have demonstrated significant potential in automating radiology report generation for chest X-rays.

Key details

  • However, there is no standardized benchmark for objectively evaluating their performance.
  • To address this, we present ReXrank, https://rexrank.ai, a public leaderboard and challenge for assessing AI-powered radiology report generation.
  • Our framework incorporates ReXGradient, the largest test dataset consisting of 10,000 studies, and three public datasets (MIMIC-CXR, IU-Xray, CheXpert Plus) for report generation assessment.
  • ReXrank employs 8 evaluation metrics and separately assesses models capable of generating only findings sections and those providing both findings and impressions sections.
