Dev tools are all you need
Explore Maibook, a desktop app using AI agents personalized from your file system. See customized dev tools for managing strings, debugging sessions, and improving AI performance.
Overview
Maibook is a desktop app - a network of you and AI agents personalized based on your file system activity.
Demo will show:
- Maibook briefly
- Customized dev tools built for the project
- strings_web - centrally manage all strings AI agents see - system and user prompts, tool schemas, tool docstrings, tool field descriptions and constraints - edit in tool, updates source files
- dev_web - see sessions and debug what works, what doesn’t
- inspired by cc viewer
- in the works - ccdbug
- Others - threadviewer, benchmarking models, etc.

Tech stack
- PythonPython: The high-level, general-purpose language built for readability, powering everything from web backends to advanced machine learning models.Python is the high-level, general-purpose language prioritizing clear, readable syntax (via significant indentation), ensuring rapid development for any team . Its ecosystem is massive: use it for robust web development with frameworks like Django and Flask, or leverage its power in data science with libraries such as Pandas and NumPy . The Python Package Index (PyPI) provides thousands of community-contributed modules, offering immediate solutions for tasks from network programming to GUI creation . The language is actively maintained by the Python Software Foundation (PSF), with the stable release currently at Python 3.14.0 (as of November 2025) .
- PydanticPydantic is Python's most-used data validation library: it enforces data schemas using standard type hints and boasts a Rust-core for exceptional speed.Pydantic is the premier data validation and parsing library for Python. It mandates data structure using pure, canonical Python type annotations, drastically reducing boilerplate code. With over 360M monthly downloads, Pydantic is battle-tested: all FAANG companies and major frameworks (FastAPI, SQLModel, LangChain) rely on it for robust data handling. Its core validation logic is written in Rust, ensuring high performance. Pydantic models also generate JSON Schema, facilitating seamless integration and documentation for API development.
- Claude CodeAnthropic's agentic coding tool: Unleash Claude's raw power directly in your terminal or IDE to turn complex, hours-long workflows into a single command.Claude Code is Anthropic’s powerful agentic coding assistant, designed for high-velocity development. It operates natively within your terminal, IDE (VS Code, JetBrains), or via a web interface, allowing you to delegate complex tasks like feature building, bug fixing, and codebase navigation. The agent plans, edits files, executes commands, and creates commits, maintaining awareness of your entire project structure. Internally, Anthropic engineers using Claude Code reported a 67% increase in productivity, demonstrating its capacity to deliver significant gains for Pro and Max plan users.
- PySide6PySide6 is the official Python library from The Qt Company, delivering direct access to the complete Qt6 framework for building high-performance, cross-platform desktop applications.PySide6 provides the official Python bindings for the Qt6 framework, allowing developers to build native, high-performance user interfaces for Windows, macOS, and Linux. By combining Python's rapid development cycle with the robust C++ foundation of Qt, PySide6 enables the creation of complex desktop applications using modern UI paradigms (including traditional QtWidgets and declarative QML). The package includes Shiboken6 (a powerful binding generator tool to expose C++ projects to Python) and supports Python's asynchronous programming model through QtAsyncio, making it a highly scalable choice for enterprise-grade desktop software.
- QtQt is a powerful, C++ based framework for building high-performance, cross-platform applications and fluid user interfaces across desktop, mobile, and embedded systems.Qt streamlines the development of native, high-performance software by allowing developers to write code once and deploy it across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and embedded platforms. Built primarily on C++ (with robust support for Python and the declarative QML language), it powers everything from Adobe Photoshop Elements to modern automotive in-vehicle infotainment systems. By combining a rich set of UI libraries, robust development tools like Qt Creator, and native-speed execution, Qt remains the industry standard for creating responsive, visually polished user experiences on diverse hardware targets.
