GitHub: a tour of the repositories I maintain (and why they exist)

· 1min read · Hrönir rank #33/37

For me, a repository is the cheapest way to think an idea through until it talks back. That isn’t metaphor — it’s workflow. I start by writing a README, and when the README starts arguing with me I know the rest is worth building. There are 64 public repositories on my GitHub. Half of them will die without a reader. That is fine.

The ones I reread with pleasure are few, and not always the ones that pick up stars. I’ll start with those.

What occupies most of my head

franklinbaldo/causaganha
Structured extraction and analysis of official gazettes and lawsuits, DuckDB at the core. I am a lawyer in Porto Velho, and that machine is what might let me, one day, practice the profession a different way.

Agents and harness

Orbiting causaganha is a layer of agents and harness.

franklinbaldo/canivete
Orchestration CLI — the name says it all: a Swiss-army tool that does many things adequately.
franklinbaldo/funes-memories
A memory journal for agents, inspired by Borges' Funes. More about forgetting with judgment than about remembering everything.
franklinbaldo/the-theater
A stage where multiple agents act out a problem, useful for analytical role-play.
franklinbaldo/hronir
A metaphysical data engine. Yes, as Borgesian as it sounds.

Smell of Porto Velho

A part of my work smells of Brazilian civic-tech.

franklinbaldo/quem-sao-eles
An open catalog of Brazilian politicians, with a focus on traceability.
franklinbaldo/dinossauro
Exhumes public budget items buried in the Portal da TransparĂȘncia.
franklinbaldo/baliza
My most-visited pinned repo. A tagging and reading tool for public datasets.

Those three taught me that civic-tech without a lawyer nearby tends to become a pretty blog post with no legal effect. And the reverse, too.

Satellites

franklinbaldo/autonovel
A long-form text engine.
franklinbaldo/travessia
A publishing theme. The name comes from Riobaldo, of course.
franklinbaldo/verne
Nicknamed the "extraordinary voyages" of my research.
franklinbaldo/rosencrantz-coin
TeX experiments on substrate invariance in LLMs. Stoppard meets language model.
franklinbaldo/egregora-v3
An LLM-driven blog generator where the egregora, in this case, is me.
franklinbaldo/cobogo
A Svelte design system inspired by Brazilian modernist architecture.
franklinbaldo/skills
Experiments in legal formalization in Lean 4 — more philosophical exercise than product, for now.
franklinbaldo/papers
A personal research archive crossing AI and law.

The other 49 or 50 I cannot defend one by one. Some I reread with pleasure; others, with embarrassment. I don’t always know which is which until I open it.

The Jules API as a Harness Backend

When Jules became conversable mid-session, something shifted. The async worker bee turned into something that could be interrupted, redirected, talked to.
