What it does
Speed was never the problem.
An agent writes in minutes; the week you lose comes after: auditing what it guessed, re-explaining what it forgot. Hyperception closes the loop: governed work becomes cited memory, and the next session starts ahead of the last.
Inside the Claude Code your team already runs. No proxy, no hosted service.
User scope: follows you into every repo you cd into.
Lands at ~/.hyperception/vault/, your disk, nowhere else.
The work · AgentHarness
Work that can't skip a step.
One plugin, installed once, carries the whole SDLC into every repo, and its reach runs past the pull request, through provisioning to a verified release. You sit at the top as a veto gate, not an oracle.
Three Builders, one human, vetoing by exception, never typing the code.
The memory · a second brain
A brain that sleeps on it.
Your second brain doesn't just store what past sessions decided, it connects those decisions into a structure you can query and traverse. It lives in ~/.hyperception/vault/, a local-first git repo of its own. The model proposes; a deterministic validator disposes; the uncertain waits for your sign-off.
hyp search answers with receipts: the exact session, the exact prompt.
The work compounds, or it resets.
the loop
There is no third option.
The loop · day and night
Step into the mind.
Watch one session move through both organs: a governed wave becomes cited memory, and the next wave starts already knowing it.
Execute
The Overseer agrees North Stars, freezes contracts, and fans a wave of Builders. Every unit clears the gate chain and lands as a merge-ready PR.
Out comes evidence (commits, decisions, and the reasons behind them), not a chat transcript.
$ harness:pr-to-merged ✓ gates cleared · review converged · CI green → PR #46 merged · squash
Capture
That whole governed session is recorded per project, secrets redacted before disk and again before any model reads them.
Nothing is uploaded. What just happened is safely queued for the next digest.
# hook fires on each turn capture ▸ redact ▸ queue redacted: 2 tokens · 1 email backlog: 12 prompts pending digest
Digest
A two-pass digest distills the session into typed entities, events, and facts, each citing the exact prompt it came from.
The messy transcript becomes a clean, cited slice of the graph.
$ hyp digest + fact telnyx-retry → raw/2026-07-17 #12 ✓ reviewer pass · validated · committed
Recall
The knowledge returns two ways: the worklog loads the working ledger on pickup, and hyp search surfaces the distilled cross-session memory, supersede chains intact.
$ hyp search "telnyx decision" wiki/facts/telnyx-webhook-retry.md cite: session-0717 · prompt 12 (+4 backlinks)
Compound
The next wave starts already knowing what was decided, and why. Discipline made the memory trustworthy; memory makes the discipline cumulative. Nothing is re-litigated.
$ harness:worklog pickup loaded 3 open threads · 1 decision · 0 re-asked
One organ alone resets every session. Together, they accumulate.
Runs in your stack
Your code and your memory never leave your infrastructure.
No proxy to route your code through, no data to hand over, no black box in the middle. The one thing that does leave: your prompts still reach Anthropic's models through the same Claude Code you already run, with nothing added in between. What Hyperception captures to memory is redacted before it touches disk or any model.
Guarantees
local-first second brain · your disk known secret patterns redacted before disk, and before any model syncs only to your private remote no proxy · no hosted service · no accountThe questions a careful CTO asks first.
git, not an account.
Two weeks on one real repo
the pilot
beats any benchmark table.
The new way of working
Stop reviewing your agent's guesses.
PRs that arrive with their homework shown: goals traced, contracts honored, review survived, merge earned. And a memory that answers "what did we decide, and why" with a citation instead of a guess. Start with a 14-day pilot on one real repo.
