Building agents that turn ideas
into working, verifiable systems.

I’m Yangyang Yu, a Tsinghua University graduate in Information and Computing Sciences. I build AI products and research tools, with a focus on agent memory, multimodal intelligence, and formal mathematics.

从多模态与具身智能研究,到 Agent 产品与开源工具。目前主要构建 Proofweave,探索如何让 AI 参与的数学研究可复现、可验证。

Open-source project / AI-assisted DJ tooling

Mixxx API Bridge

Built a Python HTTP/MIDI sidecar that lets AI agents and MCP clients control Mixxx through its controller mapping API. The bridge handles deck and FX controls, capability discovery, and command acknowledgements while Mixxx owns real-time audio.

Implemented a HELLO/READY handshake, request-linked acknowledgements and state feedback, and a macOS CoreMIDI C helper. Documented a same-value crossfader read/write round trip on Mixxx 2.5.6 on September 1, 2026.

Agent safety / Developer tools

Prompt Injection Defense

A small, dependency-free toolkit for screening common prompt-injection signals, with advisory agent policies, Python helpers, and regression tests.

Covers direct, encoded, and Unicode-evasion patterns. Heuristic screening complements host-enforced security controls.

  • Python
  • Agent skills
  • Heuristics

AI for mathematics / Research in progress

Teichmüller’s Unified Program

Connecting complex geometry, topology, and moduli theory through structured tutorials and explicit mathematical interfaces in Lean 4.

Includes selected Mathlib-backed components for charts, families, and descent. Formalization of the full theory remains in progress.

  • Lean 4
  • Mathlib
  • LaTeX

Open-source contribution

OpenClaw Merged PR

Fixed TUI messages being routed to Discord DMs instead of the terminal interface.
