When you hit Claude Code's 5-hour quota limit mid-refactor or suffer context rot at 150k tokens, Vicem harvests your live session, git diff, and compressed code skeletons into a bookended baton and relays work straight into OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Antigravity IDE, or Web AI.
Or download the standalone OS release bundle from GitHub Releases (github.com/Rakkunn/vicem/releases) and double-click the launcher:
Automatically detects and parses active transcripts strictly scoped to the current working directory across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor (SQLite WAL backup), Antigravity IDE, Aider, OpenCode, and Goose.
Preserves TypeScript/Rust/Go/Python type contracts and signatures 100% intact while collapsing function bodies >= 12 lines into { /* ... */ } and indexing full bodies in .vicem/ledger.json for on-demand vicem_rehydrate calls.
Masks provider keys, PEM blocks, and high-entropy assignments locally before any handoff. Built-in SkeletonWriteGuard and SecretCommitGuard prevent placeholder corruption in source files.
| Pipeline Stage | Raw Session State (Before Vicem) | After Vicem Baton & Diet | Measured Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Session Continuity Relay | 40+ turns of raw JSONL / SQLite history locked in a single agent | Structured Goal, Done, Immediate NEXT & git diff in .vicem/BATON.md |
< 3s handoff across 15+ CLI, IDE & Web agents |
| 2. Code Skeletonization | Full source files with long implementation bodies (~120,000 tok) | Types & signatures 100% intact; bodies >= 12 lines indexed in .vicem/ledger.json |
-80% to -90% code tokens (100% lossless via MCP vicem_rehydrate) |
| 3. Test & Error Log Slimming | Verbose ANSI spinners & node_modules stack traces (~45,000 tok) |
Root failure message + top 5 project stack frames (~1,200 tok) | -95% log noise while preserving exact root cause |
| 4. Data Sampling & Noise Gate | Lockfiles, build bundles, and multi-megabyte JSON / CSV / SQL dumps | Artifacts filtered; data files reduced to inferred schema + 2 sample rows | -98% data bloat & zero context window overflow |
| 5. Security & Write Integrity | Plaintext credentials in logs & risk of placeholder overwrites | 3-Tier secret redaction + SkeletonWriteGuard & SecretCommitGuard |
0 leaked secrets & 0 external dependencies (dependencies: 0) |
