Open source for the AI era — built for real problems
We are the universe, observing itself.
UniverLab is an open computational laboratory that groups experiments under the philosophy of Pensamiento Cósmico, where a need becomes an open experiment, and that experiment becomes open knowledge — tools, datasets, papers.

Local-first. AI-assisted. Yours forever.
00 — Experiments
- EXP-001active
Harness Canopy
Your AI agents forget everything between sessions — and they can't see what the others are doing.
The runtime layer for AI agents that need memory, scheduling, and each other.
- EXP-002active
TexForge
Writing LaTeX should not require installing four gigabytes of toolchain.
A unified LaTeX workspace — writing, diagrams, and PDFs in one self-contained tool.
- EXP-003active
GitKit
Every new repository starts with the same setup ritual — done by hand, every time.
Guided git repository setup — hooks, ignores, attributes, and config in one flow.
- EXP-004active
ghScaff
Creating a GitHub repository properly is a dozen forgettable steps.
An interactive wizard that scaffolds and enforces conventions on GitHub repositories.
- EXP-005beta
cadSpec
CAD drawings carry no semantics — just lines on a canvas, impossible to diff, review or automate.
CAD as code: declarative geometry compiled deterministically to DXF.
- EXP-006research
Astro Denoise
Denoising an astronomical image can recover a faint galaxy — or invent one that was never there. There is no standard, reproducible way to tell which.
A research proposal for benchmarking astronomical denoising — evaluated on the science it recovers, not how clean it looks.
- EXP-007active
DemoStage
Recording demos by hand is fiddly — typos, uneven pacing, dead air, and a prompt leaking your host.
Demos as Code — capture, record and export reproducible terminal demos.
- EXP-008active
Quorum
Planning poker usually means a server in the middle — an account to create, a room to host, one more tool between you and a number.
Serverless planning poker — share a link, estimate together, no sign-up.
It began with one experiment that learned to build the others.
This isn’t a pile of repositories. It started as a handful of skills for everyday work — until one grew teeth and became Canopy, an agent system that, before long, was building Canopy itself, then every experiment after it. These tools aren’t products lined up for sale — they are open experiments that became tools because someone needed them, and stay open so others can learn from them.
Technology is not the goal.
The laboratory is guided by Pensamiento Cósmico: technology as the medium through which curiosity becomes reality. Software should outlive trends. Knowledge should remain open.

Not a lab about the universe. A lab of the universe.
UniverLab exists to increase — even infinitesimally — the probability that knowledge and consciousness continue. Not software for its own sake, not AI for its own sake: tools that help the universe keep understanding itself. In practice, that means open-source CLIs you can install today, experiments you can reproduce, and docs that ship with the code.
