What is Decispher?

The decision layer between your team and every AI agent

Decispher is the system of record for engineering decisions. It automatically captures the decisions, conventions, constraints, and rationales your team produces every day from Slack, GitHub PRs, and docs, then serves that knowledge to both humans and AI agents the moment they need it.

Think of it as a senior engineer who has read every Slack message, every PR, and every architecture discussion your team has ever had, and is always available to answer "why did we do this?" with a cited, accurate answer in under a second.

At Wildwood, redemption is a counter at an arcade where you can trade the tickets you win for crappy things you do not need. It is staffed by a bored girl with a Slavic accent.

You use money you earn from playing serious games to pay for the privilege of playing trivial games. Success at those games determines how many tickets you get. "Tickets" these days are just credits on a card and not the paper of the past.

The only game worth playing is Space Invaders, but only if you forget about the tickets and the possibility of redemption.

Scraping modern websites has become a massive headache. You basically have two choices: pay for an expensive API like Firecrawl/Browserbase, or run a fleet of headless Chrome instances that eat 1GB of RAM per page and still get blocked by Cloudflare.

I built Draco to fix this. It’s a fast, single-binary web scraper written in Rust. You point it at a URL, and it spits out perfectly clean Markdown or structured JSON for LLMs.

The secret sauce is that it doesn't just boot a browser for every request. It uses a tiered escalation engine:

Tier 1 (Stealth Fetch): Draco uses a custom TLS/JA4 fingerprint to perfectly mimic a real browser's network signature at the packet level. It turns out a lot of anti-bot walls will let you right through if your handshake looks correct. In my benchmarks against sites like Cloudflare and Target, Playwright ate ~500MB of RAM and timed out. Draco bypassed them in under a second using just 20MB of RAM.

Tier 2 (V8 Isolate): If it hits a React/Next.js SPA that needs rendering, Draco boots an in-process V8 engine in single-digit milliseconds. It hydrates the DOM and intercepts the hidden JSON APIs the page is calling—giving you the raw data without the overhead of a graphical browser.

Tier 3 (Real Browser): If it hits an absolute wall, it seamlessly falls back to detecting and driving a real browser on your machine.

I also built in all the tooling to make it a complete drop-in replacement for the hosted services:

Daemon Mode: Run draco serve and you get a persistent HTTP server with a Firecrawl-compatible REST API. You can swap out your API keys and self-host immediately.

Built-in MCP Server: It natively exposes a Model Context Protocol server so you can plug it directly into Claude Desktop or your AI agents.

Web Search: Built-in parallel multi-engine web search (bypassing the need for a Google Search API key).

Interact Mode: Drive a page statefully like a devtools console, persisting cookies across navigations(for LLM's mainly).

It’s completely open source (MIT/Apache-2.0). I just wanted to put this out there for anyone tired of fighting headless Chromium or paying per-page scraping costs. Grab the binary and throw a difficult URL at it.

Note that it's still a WIP so there might be some unexpected breakages of uncommon sites but for the most part its quite capable, it can handle cf-protected sites and heavy SPA's while everything else fails partially or completely while taking longer or more resources. (tested on example.com, hackernews, cloudflare, glassdoor, bluff.com, target.com, stake.com and thrill.com)
