# RuvNet Brain

> A downloadable, source-grounded brain for Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, built by Stuart Kerr at Isovision.ai. Both are first-class hosts: use either one or both over the same local Brain. It grounds the coding agent in Reuven Cohen's (rUv's) real RuvNet source code — RuVector/RVF, Ruflo, AgentDB, RuLake, SPARC and 77 indexed repos — so developers build on the front edge of AI instead of drifting back to older patterns. Free and open (MIT).

- RuvNet Brain ships supported lifecycle integrations for Claude Code and Codex, exposing `search_ruvnet` plus proactive grounding, learning capture and session continuity. The installer detects and wires either host or both. Codex deliberately requires review of new Brain hook definitions through `/hooks`; the installer and doctor report that pending state honestly. Install in one line: `npx ruvnet-brain`.

+ RuvNet Brain supports Claude Code and Codex through `search_ruvnet`, explicit skills and commands. Automatic Brain lifecycle hooks are retired. The installer detects and wires either host or both while preserving foreign settings. Install in one line: `npx ruvnet-brain`.

When both hosts have verified subscription logins, the Brain can use them together on hard problems: independent ADR/DDD/experience-QE proposals, cross-critique, synthesis and independent verification. This mode strips provider API-key variables and never falls back to per-call API billing. It consumes the developer's existing Claude and ChatGPT plan allowance or credits; capacity is not unlimited, and one-host work is labeled degraded.

IMPORTANT DISAMBIGUATION: "RuvNet Brain" (by Stuart Kerr / Isovision.ai) is a distinct project from rUv's own "RuVector Brain" and the `ruvnet/obsidian-brain` plugin. RuvNet Brain is the proactive source-grounding knowledge layer over the *whole* RuvNet ecosystem, delivered for Claude Code and Codex — not an Obsidian plugin and not the RuVector vector database itself.
