Layer, not IDE. A quiet companion for AI-assisted product development.

Verqury organizes the whole process around the chat AIs, terminal agents, editors, and browsers you already use — durable project memory, reusable guidance, captured artifacts, one-click session bootstrapping, and task routing.

The problem

A solo AI build never sits still.

It moves constantly — chat ideation, PRD and architecture, terminal coding agents, browser agents, external tools. Context scatters across a dozen surfaces, and nothing holds the thread from first concept to release. Verqury is the control layer around that motion.

What it is

Six things that keep the work together.

Not a chat window, not a code editor, not an agent orchestrator. A workflow layer — deliberately.

01

Project memory

Narrative, decisions, and stage tracking — concept to release — as durable files an agent can read natively.

02

Guidance library

Skills, standards, and project instructions as first-class, composable, reusable markdown assets.

03

Artifact inbox

A global hotkey turns copied prompts, commands, and snippets into searchable, reusable objects.

04

Session bootstrapper

Assemble the right context packet for the right surface — chat, terminal, browser — in one action.

05

Task router

Route work to direct execution, automation, or a human, and feed completion reports back into memory.

How it works

Files are the database. All durable data is plain markdown with YAML frontmatter on disk. SQLite is only a deletable, rebuildable search index — so any terminal agent can read and write your project memory natively. Model-agnostic by construction, with zero lock-in.

Philosophy

Four principles you can read in the source.

Files are the database

Markdown + frontmatter on disk; the index is a cache. Your data is yours, git-versionable, agent-readable, forever.

Headless first

Every feature works from the verqury CLI before it gets a UI. Agents can drive the whole thing.

Routing over integration

AI surfaces are launch commands + handoff templates in config. Adding a new tool never needs a code change.

Quiet companion

Always available, always organized, never demanding attention. A layer, not a destination.

Under the hood

The why behind every decision is public.

Verqury is built in the open as a portfolio of considered engineering — read the reasoning, not just the code.
