Vesta (github.com/kanjani-ai-research/Vesta) will rock your world. I'm talking about major improvements in context management and output quality AND YOU DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING BUT LET IT RUN. The actual numbers from experimentation: up to 5x improvement in token efficiency, bug-free (w/ Vesta) vs. buggy (w/ Ralph-Wiggum) in A/B testing, and up to 10x (1,000%) reduction of interactions. Experiment results are in the repo.

Starting a project from scratch? Vesta will know you're a vibe coder, it's a Replit killer. Building something complex with multiple parts? Vesta specializes in that. Throw whatever you want at it, it's going to deliver.

Vesta was built by Vesta. It exercises adaptive ontology, traversable graph, adjudication, verifications, and learning YOUR INTENTIONS for each of your projects and folders, and it all happens on its own! If you want advanced features, run /vesta:help. It's been a tremendous success as a version 1 product, and for what it was meant to do: file any requests or issues, and remember to give a star when you come to appreciate it. It's open for contributions, forks, and tearing apart. Apache 2 license.

So to anyone wanting to supercharge their Claude Code experience, follow these steps:

1. optionally view and audit or fork Vesta at https://github.com/kanjani-ai-research/Vesta

2. run it in Claude Code with these three commands

`/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/kanjani-ai-research/Vesta.git`

`/plugin install vesta@causum`

`/reload-plugins`

That's all she wrote. You're ready to rock and roll
