    We now write most of our code with agents. For a while, PRs piled up, causing review fatigue, and we had this sinking feeling that standards were slipping. Consistency is tough at this volume. I’m sharing the solution we found, which has become our main product. Continue (https://docs.continue.dev) runs AI checks on every PR. Each check is a source-controlled markdown file in `.continue/checks/` that shows up as a GitHub status check. They run as full agents, not just reading the diff, but able to read/write files, run bash commands, and use a browser. If it finds…

    At Metabase, we built an AI agent called Repro-Bot that reads our GitHub issues and attempts to reproduce reported bugs automatically. It started as a hackathon project and is now part of our daily workflow, so we wrote about it and open-sourced the code as an example for others. How have similar tools been working for you? What has worked well and what has not?

    Hi HN, Even the smartest AI coding agents stall when the fix isn’t in their training data. AgruSeek runs an agentic search loop across ~30 M developer sources to dig up solutions normal web search misses. REAL‑WORLD USES • Found an undocumented `--runtime‑bypass` flag (buried in a 2017 gist) • Pulled actual Claude Code pricing from forum anecdotes - no “contact us” paywalls • Traced a race condition by cross‑linking five issue trackers across forks WHY POST NOW We’ve abused AgruSeek internally for three weeks; we’d love outside stress tests. Access is free (limited seats for Beta, no…

    I built a GitHub app that detects it in pull requests, notifies or blocks them. Alongside it, I published a Semgrep ruleset for any stage of the CI/CD. I started this after getting frustrated by all the FUD around malicious code - lots of noise, little effort to solve it. Having said that, it's still a major attack vector - a stored RCE, with the codebase itself as the sink. Feedback is appreciated. The app, PRevent - https://github.com/apiiro/PRevent The ruleset: https://github.com/apiiro/malicious-code-ruleset The research:…

    Hi HN, I’m Valentin, a developer who’s found code reviews to be a slow process, especially after context switching or juggling different projects and languages. Even reviewing my own code can be tough when I’ve lost the thread or just need a fresh perspective. Over the past few weekends, I built GitReviewed to make PR reviews faster, smarter, and genuinely useful for real teams. What it does: - Reviews any GitHub or GitLab pull/merge request with AI-powered comments, spotting security issues, code patterns, typos, and more - Posts comments as you (not a bot), so feedback fits naturally…

    Hi everyone on HackerNews, We are just launching Bugbusters. Bugbusters is a GitHub-Bot that writes bugfixes for errors detected by application monitoring software like sentry. It examines an error's monitoring data, such as stack traces, in combination with the source code and git commit history to generate a potential fix. The bugfix will be submitted via a Pull Request that will also include details on the determined cause of the initial error and approach taken to fix it. You can simply create a GitHub Issue containing a link to the error in sentry and assign it to the Bugbusters-Bot. In…
