ShardStitch
"Rate limit reached." "Context window full." "VRAM out of memory."
Your code is half-written. Your plan is in your head. ShardStitch captures your entire session — git diff, changed files, dependency graph, intent — and stitches it into the next AI tool. One hotkey. Keep building like nothing happened.
Install
pip install shardstitch # installs the launcher
shardstitch install <your-license-key> # after purchase — downloads & activates the app
shardstitch # launch the dashboard
ShardStitch is a one-time purchase (no subscription). pip install gives you the
installer; activate it with the license key from your purchase email. Get a key at
shardstitch.com.
What it does
When Claude, Cursor, Codex, or Gemini locks you out mid-session, ShardStitch:
- Scans your project — git diff, changed files, recent commits, your notes
- Builds a dependency graph — impact radius, architecture communities — and warns the next AI what's dangerous to touch
- Generates a continuation prompt formatted for the target tool
- Injects it into the tool's pickup file (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md, .cursorrules) for automatic discovery
Under 30 seconds, end to end.
Not just for switching tools
The same trick fixes a bloated session in the same tool. Long AI chats accumulate a huge context tree — token burn climbs, responses slow down, and eventually you hit "Service is busy" even with quota left. ShardStitch is the clean-restart button: extract a compact context, open a fresh window of the same tool, paste, keep going.

Local-first
Your code and conversations never leave your machine — no telemetry, no cloud processing. The only network call is a single HTTPS request at activation to validate your license key; everything else runs entirely on your hardware. Activation needs a license key, not an account.
