Pattern Vault

PYTHON / VITE / MCP

An advanced tool that scans software repositories, extracts code chunks using tree-sitter, and classifies reusable engineering patterns (like retries, hooks, and loaders) into a local SQLite database for query and auto-retrieval.

  • Uses tree-sitter to chunk functions, methods, and classes with precision grammar maps.
  • Leverages LLM models (Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Ollama) to rate and index quality metrics.
  • Features an HTTP/stdio FastMCP server so Claude can query local patterns while pair programming.
  • A stunning custom React dashboard with Deep Analytics of engineering pattern ingestion.

LLM Council Beta

PYTHON / AGENTS / BEDROCK

Instead of asking a single LLM (like ChatGPT or Claude) for an answer, LLM Council Beta assembles a council of multiple AI models that independently answer, peer-review, and synthesize a thoroughly vetted response that leverages collective intelligence.

  • Stage 1 (Generation): Multiple models independently answer your question to bring diverse perspectives.
  • Stage 2 (Peer-Review): Models anonymously peer-review each other's answers to cross-examine and identify gaps.
  • Stage 3 (Synthesis): A Chairman model synthesizes the reviewed responses into a balanced, vetted final answer.
