SpecMind – AI architecture tool for vibe coding

I built SpecMind, an open source developer tool for spec driven vibe coding. It keeps architecture and implementation aligned from the first commit instead of letting them drift apart. With AI assistants writing more of our code, projects move faster but architectural consistency is often lost. Each developer or AI can introduce new patterns, and after a few sprints, the structure becomes fragmented. SpecMind helps prevent that by generating and maintaining living architecture specs directly from your code. It works in three steps: 1. analyze – scans your codebase and generates…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

I built SpecMind, an open source developer tool for spec driven vibe coding. It keeps architecture and implementation aligned from the first commit instead of letting them drift apart. With AI assistants writing more of our code, projects move faster but architectural consistency is often lost. Each developer or AI can introduce new patterns, and after a few sprints, the structure becomes fragmented. SpecMind helps prevent that by generating and maintaining living architecture specs directly from your code. It works in three steps: 1. analyze – scans your codebase and generates .specmind/system.sm with architecture diagrams and relationships, 2. design – creates a spec describing how the feature will change the system, 3. implement – applies the spec, updates diagrams, and logs what changed All specs are plain text files with Markdown and Mermaid diagrams, stored alongside your code. A VS Code extension lets you preview them visually. Supports TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, and C#, with Go and Rust coming next. Works with Claude Code and Windsurf today, Cursor and Copilot soon.

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
