Praana

amitkumardubey (independent)

Properties

type: Coding agent
interface: Terminal
openSource: Yes (MIT)
lineage: A deterministic compiler curates what the model sees each turn (tiered working memory, tool-output distillation, session checkpoints) instead of feeding the model the full transcript; optional cross-session Cognitive Memory extracts learnings at session end and surfaces a ranked digest on the next run; single Bun/TypeScript binary, provider-agnostic
note: Show HN 2026-07-11. Experimental per its own maintainer (README: v0.15.1, experimental); distinct by treating context curation itself as the core primitive. Briefly declared end of life (repo description read 2026-10-10: 'Archived public snapshot of Praana. No longer developed.'), but by 2026-10-25 the description was restored to 'A terminal agent for long running coding sessions' and commits resumed (a rust-v2 rewrite, latest 2026-10-24).
