    I've been building computer-use tools for a while, and I quietly launched this about a month ago (122 Stars on GH). I figured it was worth sharing here. Over the last few months, a lot of computer-use agents have come out: Codex, Claude Code, CUA, and others. Most of them seem to work roughly like this: 1. Take a screenshot 2. Have the model predict pixel coordinates 3. Click x,y 4. Take another screenshot 5. Repeat That works, but it's slow, expensive in tokens, and fragile. If the UI shifts a few pixels, things break. And the model still doesn't know what any element actually is. But the…

    Hi! I’m Nathan: an ML Engineer at Mozilla.ai: I built agent-of-empires (aoe): a CLI application to help you manage all of your running Claude Code/Opencode sessions and know when they are waiting for you. - Written in rust and relies on tmux for security and reliability - Monitors state of cli sessions to tell you when an agent is running vs idle vs waiting for your input - Manage sessions by naming them, grouping them, configuring profiles for various settings I'm passionate about getting self-hosted open-weight LLMs to be valid options to compete with proprietary closed models. One…

    I work as an engineer at the Dutch government. We have hundreds of technical standards that developers should follow when building government software: API design rules, messaging protocols, authentication profiles, accessibility requirements. The problem is that most developers don't know these standards exist until someone reviews their code (if at all). Skills are Markdown files that inject domain knowledge into AI coding tools. When a developer starts building an API, the tool automatically loads the relevant standard. No plugins to write, no code. Just structured knowledge in Markdown.…

    Hey HN! We're Charles and Dean. A few weeks ago we posted about Stage, a code review tool that guides you through reading a PR step by step - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47796818. We got a lot of great feedback but also heard from many people that they wanted to have the chapters experience even before opening a PR… so we built the Stage CLI as the local, open-source version that anyone can try. Here’s a quick demo video: https://www.tella.tv/video/stage-cli-demo-f55q It works with any coding agent of your choice. The skill instructs the agent to…

    Single-agent LLMs suck at long-running complex tasks. We’ve open-sourced a multi-agent orchestrator that we’ve been using to handle long-running LLM tasks. We found that single LLM agents tend to stall, loop, or generate non-compiling code, so we built a harness for agents to coordinate over shared context while work is in progress. How it works: 1. Orchestrator agent that manages task decomposition 2. Sub-agents for parallel work 3. Subscriptions to task state and progress 4. Real-time sharing of intermediate discoveries between agents We tested this on a Putnam-level math problem, but the…

    Hi HN — I'm Scott. Skillscript is a small language I built to write what I want my local agent to actually do, in a form I can read and version, instead of hoping the model gets it right each time. The itch started with something small. I wanted my NanoClaw agent to run my morning brief the same way every day. Check overnight tickets, summarize the deploy pipeline, flag anything urgent. Every session, it would re-figure out how to do this from scratch, drift a little, and cost tokens for what's basically a fixed procedure. I could put it in a system prompt or an MD skill file, but those are…

    GitHub: https://github.com/ClioAI/kw-sdk Most AI agent frameworks target code. Write code, run tests, fix errors, repeat. That works because code has a natural verification signal. It works or it doesn't. This SDK treats knowledge work like an engineering problem: Task → Brief → Rubric (hidden from executor) → Work → Verify → Fail? → Retry → Pass → Submit The orchestrator coordinates subagents, web search, code execution, and file I/O. then checks its own work against criteria it can't game (the rubric is generated in a separate call and the executor never sees it…

    Hi HN, I built my first project using an LLM in mid-2024. I've been excited ever since. But of course, at some point it all turns into a mess. You see, software is an intricate interwoven collection of tiny details. Good software gets many details right; and does not regress as it gains functionality. My bootstrapped startup, ApprovIQ (https://approviq.com) is trying to break into a mature market with multiple fully featured competitors. I need to get the details right: MVP quality won't sell. So I opted for Test-Driven Development, the classic red/green/refactor. Writing…

    Clink lets you use the coding agents you already pay for (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Z.ai GLM) to build → live-preview → ship apps in an isolated container. No token purchases, no extra cost for coding. Just link your existing Claude/OpenAI/Gemini account and start building and deploying instantly. Why we built this: Claude Code is our go-to for coding, but it lacked preview + deploy capabilities. We didn't want to pay Lovable again just for that. Different agents excel at different tasks - Claude Code for versatility, Codex for complex work, GLM for speed. We needed one…

    Hi HN. I'm the founder of Phoenix Labs (ex TikTok, Applied AI) and we're open sourcing our internal tooling today which is like a toolchain / meta-harness for CLI agents useful for really scaling eng and creative work. We are a very small team who's building a very ambitious product so we had to find ways to squeeze every ounce of efficiency that we could get our hands on. Harness strengths of different models (Claude, GPTs) and CLI-harnesses (Claude Code, Codex), safe/robust browser integration to speed up UX/QA testing, teams cli to speed up security reviews and parallelize…

    TLDR; I built a tool that turns any API into a CLI designed for ai agents --- Got tired of dealing with bloated context windows from MCP servers and skills that stuff entire API docs into the agent's context CLIs fix this, agents run a single command to self-discover everything an API has to offer So, built a tool to generate them for any api. All CLIs are written in Go, fast and lightweight, no dependencies Help text (via the --help flag) is the killer feature: all context for each command/endpoint/parameter is extracted directly from the user-facing API docs and enhanced with…
