SpecLock: LLM Contract & Context Guardian

Developers often find LLMs drifting away from an agreed contract when prompted to violate it, making it hard to maintain consistent behavior across turns. SpecLock provides a lightweight wrapper that tracks the original specification, enforces contract boundaries, and offers an instant reset to the initial context, ensuring reliable, spec‑aligned responses.

Comment on: Sol Loves to Cheat

Yes and no, sol hits a point where reframing its working context becomes hard. It sticks to what you harness very well, but changes become harder and harder.E.g. ask it to make contract for a spec in code and then ask it to violate that contract. Overall an excellent model, just need to stop and put it back into we are harnessing or specing not building for a few turns not just try to pivot it off with one prompt.

RetroGuard: Legacy CPU Crypto & Memory Optimizer

Developers targeting vintage 68000, Z80 and other legacy CPUs often cannot achieve constant‑time cryptographic protocols because instruction timing depends on operand popcount and shared RAM stalls degrade predictability. RetroGuard profiles legacy code, rewrites critical operations into constant‑time sequences, and simulates memory contention, giving deterministic performance for secure workflows.
