QonQrete v0.8.9-beta: The s00permode Release πŸ”₯

Don't rebuild. Iterate. That's the whole philosophy.

QonQrete v0.8.9-beta: The s00permode Release πŸ”₯

β€œDon’t rebuild. Iterate. That’s the whole philosophy.”


What’s New in v0.8.9

We fixed the rebuild bug. But not with restrictionsβ€”with awareness.

The Universal File Rule

One rule. All cycles. No exceptions.

πŸ“ File EXISTS in qodeyard?
   β†’ MODIFY it
   β†’ EXTEND it  
   β†’ Never recreate it

πŸ“„ File DOESN'T EXIST?
   β†’ CREATE it
   β†’ New modules welcome

That’s it. No β€œrefinement modes”. No artificial restrictions. Just a simple rule that prevents the AI from starting over while keeping full creative freedom.

Cycles 2-7 can now:

  • βœ… Create entirely new modules
  • βœ… Add missing functionality
  • βœ… Fix issues from reviews
  • βœ… Extend existing code

But they won’t:

  • ❌ Recreate main.py if it exists
  • ❌ Rebuild the config system
  • ❌ Start with β€œsetup project root”

The Numbers

The Secret Sauce

LoQal Verification catches errors BEFORE the review:

[LoQal] Running validation...
[LoQal] βœ… Passed

Per-Briq Retry recovers from failures:

Attempt 1: Failed (API error)
Attempt 2: Success βœ…

Batched Reviews save 90% on API calls:

Batch 1/3: 12 briqs β†’ 1 API call
Batch 2/3: 12 briqs β†’ 1 API call  
Batch 3/3: 4 briqs  β†’ 1 API call

Get Started

# Clone it
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/qonqrete.git
cd qonqrete

# Configure your API keys
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your keys

# Build the container
./qonqrete.sh init

# Run your first build
./qonqrete.sh run --auto

# Watch the magic happen

The Philosophy

QonQrete is built on three principles:

1. Local-First

Your code stays on your machine. Your API keys are yours. No cloud dependencies except the AI providers you choose.

2. File-Based Communication

Agents communicate through files, not memory. Everything is auditable. Every decision is logged.

3. Iterate, Don’t Rebuild

The Universal File Rule ensures every cycle builds on the last. No wasted work. No starting over.


What Can You Build?

QonQrete has successfully generated:

  • Full-stack applications (FastAPI + React)
  • CLI tools (Python, Go, Rust)
  • Infrastructure code (Docker, Terraform)
  • Complex systems (C2 frameworks, multi-service architectures)
  • Test suites (pytest, unit tests, integration tests)

If you can describe it in a tasq.md, QonQrete can build it.
