LivingDocs
Claude writes your docs to .md files, right in your repo
What it does
LivingDocs is an MCP server that indexes your codebase with BM25 + Claude embeddings — queryable from Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot, and any MCP client. The write_docs Pro tool generates documentation for every symbol in a file and appends it to docs/.md with a UTC timestamp. No Confluence, no wiki, no OAuth. Docs stay in git, travel with branches, get reviewed in PRs — and since they're plain markdown, Claude reads them directly when you ask questions about your repo.

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
