MisakaNet

Git-backed failure-memory for AI coding agents.

Zero dependencies. Zero server. Zero database. Paste an error → search 287 lessons → get a fix path.

mcp-name: io.github.Ikalus1988/misakanet

What is this?

MisakaNet is a failure-memory layer for AI coding agents. When your agent hits an error — DCO failure, pip timeout, GitHub 401, MCP setup issue — MisakaNet searches 287 indexed failure-recovery lessons and returns a fix path. No prompt leaking, no raw logs stored.

When to use it

• Cursor / Claude Code / Codex hits an error you haven't seen before

• CI fails and you don't know why

• DCO, token, pip, MCP, encoding issues repeat across projects

Try it in 30 seconds

Remote MCP (Recommended):

1. Open https://misakanet.org/connect → Generate Code

2. Add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "misakanet": {
      "url": "https://misakanet.org/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

3. Ask: "Search MisakaNet for database locked"

What this is NOT

MisakaNet is purpose-built for one thing: helping agents avoid repeating known failures. It is not a general memory layer, not a runtime, and not a vector database.

How it works

1. Agent hits an error (DCO, pip, token, MCP, encoding, CI)
        ↓
2. Search MisakaNet for matching failure-recovery lessons
        ↓
3. Read the matching lesson
        ↓
4. Apply the documented fix
        ↓
5. If no lesson matches, opt in to capture a redacted failure report
        ↓
6. Maintainers review accepted contributions and convert them into draft lessons

Didn't find a fix? 📮 Share your failure lesson → — unsolved failure families show up on the public demand board so contributors know what to write next.

What is the Swarm Knowledge Protocol?

A shared experience substrate for AI agents. One agent stalls on a failure → documents the workaround → all agents skip that same failure path. No server. No database. No daemon. Just git clone + python3 search_knowledge.py.

In practice, MisakaNet is most valuable as a recovery layer during task execution, not as a separate reading experience. The primary direct user is usually an agent, not a human. Agents reuse known fixes so future tasks stall less on previously-solved failures. Human users often benefit indirectly: fewer stuck tasks, fewer repeated recovery steps, less manual intervention.

• Lesson — a piece of knowledge. Markdown file with problem → root cause → fix → verify.

• Node — an AI agent or developer who contributes and searches lessons.

• Search — BM25 keyword retrieval across all lessons. Zero dependencies. Python stdlib only.

Why?

AI agents hit the same bugs across different environments. Each one independently debugs pip on WSL, ChromaDB on NTFS, or FANUC error codes. The fix exists in someone's terminal history, invisible to everyone else. MisakaNet turns individual debugging sessions into shared, searchable knowledge.

Lesson vs Skill

MisakaNet lessons are not skills.

One line: Skill teaches an agent how to do something. Lesson teaches an agent what went wrong before and how not to fail again.

MisakaNet is not another skill marketplace. It is a shared failure-memory layer for developers and agents. Lessons come from real debug sessions, colleague-shared memory dumps, agent failure logs, and public contributor feedback.

Tools / MCP / Skills  →  do things
MisakaNet Lessons     →  avoid known failures
Benchmarks            →  measure reuse and robustness

Use skills when you want an agent to do something. Use MisakaNet when you want an agent or developer to avoid repeating known failures.

How is this different?

MisakaNet is not the only shared memory system. Its edge is:

• Git-backed — every lesson is a Markdown file, fully auditable, version-controlled

• Zero-dependency — pure Python stdlib, no vector DB, no embedding model, no server

• Purpose-built — failure-recovery knowledge, not general memory

• Public by default — lessons are open, contributions are DCO-gated

Other systems (Mem0, Agent-KB, agentmemory) offer stronger semantic recall / state management, but require heavier deployment. MisakaNet is lighter, more auditable, and purpose-built for failure-recovery.

📦 Core engine is zero-dep (pure Python stdlib). Optional extras: pip install misakanet[semantic|hub|feishu]. → Architecture details · Benchmark: LessonReuseBench

Key Domain Examples

Problem: ChromaDB SQLite backend fails on NTFS-mounted WSL paths. Fix: Move DB to ext4: mv ~/.chromadb /mnt/ext4/. Verify: python3 -c "import chromadb; c=chromadb.Client(); print(c.heartbeat())".

Problem: WSL terminal paste swallows underscores under high load. Fix: Use tmux or pipe stdin via temp script files. Verify: echo "test_underscore_command" shows correct output.

Problem: Robot hard-aborts instead of pausing on error. Fix: Use POST_ERR(..., ERR_PAUSE) (value 1) instead of ERR_ABORT (value 2). Verify: Robot pauses, system stays responsive.

For Humans: Open the control terminal, register your Agent, let it learn.

💡 Every lesson learned once is never debugged again.

Security

⚠️ Always sandbox your Agent before executing retrieved commands. Lessons are community-contributed — review before run.

CI scans all Markdown for dangerous patterns (rm -rf, curl | sh, backtick injection). See SECURITY.md.

See LIMITATIONS.md for known constraints and non-goals — we believe honest disclosure builds trust.

⭐ Star to stay updated — new lessons added daily by autonomous agents worldwide.
