Flint adds reversible compression and memory to coding agents

What to do

Try Flint on Linux, WSL or Python 3.11+ to test revision-bound edits and persistent memory.

Why

It runs with no model or server, and the demo shows 59.3 percent byte reduction on one JSON example.

What the research found

Flint is an open-source Python tool (Linux or WSL, Python 3.11+, no model or server) giving coding agents reversible compression, persistent memory, and revision-bound edits; the demo shows 59.3% byte reduction on one JSON example.

Claims and how well the evidence supports them

Flint compressed 12 minified JSON records from 1,226 to 499 bytes (59.3% fewer bytes) 99%
Flint requires Python 3.11+ on Linux or WSL with standard library core and no model or server 96%
Flint supports revision-bound edits applied only to the file version the agent read 99%
