Summary
TXT OS is an open-source AI reasoning engine that operates entirely within a single plain-text file, requiring no installation or signup—users simply paste it into any LLM chat window. It demonstrates significant improvements in semantic accuracy, reasoning success, and stability, and features innovations like Semantic Tree Memory and Hallucination Shield. This project highlights the potential for advanced, portable AI reasoning tools to be made widely accessible without proprietary software or complex setup, promoting openness and ease of use in the AI field.
Hi HN, I'm excited to share TXT OS — an open-source AI reasoning engine that runs entirely inside a single `.txt` file. - No installs, no signup, no hidden code — just copy-paste the file into any LLM chat window (GPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.). - +22.4% semantic accuracy, +42.1% reasoning success, and 3.6× more stability (benchmarked on GSM8K and Truthful-QA). - Features Semantic Tree Memory, Hallucination Shield, and fully exportable logic. - MIT Licensed, zero tracking, zero ads. Why did I build this? I wanted to prove that advanced reasoning and memory could be made open, portable, and accessible to anyone — just with pure text, no software or setup.

All ideas, design, and code are my own work. If anything is unclear or could be improved, I really welcome your feedback! I'm the author, and happy to answer any ques
