# ghuntley/jiti

> A cooperative kernel for developing a live Common Lisp application through chat: function definitions are accepted, persisted and recovered in a fresh process. The model connects via a tool loop, while manual Lisp work needs no credentials.

## Useful for

- Add a function to a running Lisp app via chat and test it against live data
- Persist and reuse accepted definitions in a fresh process via workspace
- Roll back a failed change using checkpoint and preview before applying

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-06 (UTC), 11:02–12:33: 49 → 51 stars (+2). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +13 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 2 days old and already has 51 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Hacker News: “Jiti – Grow a running Lisp application by talking to it” — 29 points, 18 h ago.
- About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 5
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 20 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 3

## Stars per day, last 10 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
