kairn

Give coding agents a context governor.

Kairn runs locally beside your agent. It decides when to route source, shrink context, stay silent, or ask for evidence, so long coding sessions stay focused and cheaper.

Local-first. Index and session memory stay on your machine.

Less waste. Repeated and irrelevant context gets filtered before the agent sees it.

Agent-ready. Works through Codex session hooks or local MCP.

What it does

Kairn turns repo context into a control layer.

01

Find the source files the agent should start with.

02

Keep repeated context out of long sessions.

03

Ask for missing evidence instead of guessing.

04

Work through Codex session hooks or local MCP.

The savings shown here only count when the task still passes. Separate evaluator rows also show Kairn improving outcomes when better source focus matters.

Beta paths

Bring it to the agent you already use.

Codex CLI

The most-tested private beta path for terminal workflows.

MCP

The portable path for editors, extensions, and agent UIs.

Telemetry

Optional aggregate feedback that helps improve routing without uploading code.

Privacy

Local-first by design.

Your source, prompts, diffs, filenames, repo names, branch names, and raw outputs stay local by default. Beta telemetry is opt-in and aggregate-only.
