    hi guys. been working on something i think is fundamentally missing in today's workflow with ai agents. vcs. i find myself struggling with questions that agents can't answer like "why did you do it?", "when did u delete this folder? why?", etc. or trying to /rewind (after a /compact...) or basically `bisect` to find when and why something was done by the agent in the current / previous session. just like git did for code, i think we are the same core capabilities with ai agents so... i developed an open source solution for that (currently supporting claude code) would love to…

    Hi HN, I'm the author of git-lrc, would appreciate some feedback from the community Last year my team started using AI coding tools more heavily, and we found ourselves generating tons of code, but spending less time looking at the stuff that's been generated. We felt like we were losing a bit of grip/understanding of what we were building. Regressions occasionally slipped through. Sometimes changes made it all the way to production only to be reverted later. We tried several AI code review tools, but most operate at PR time. That felt too late. I wanted review to happen while the…

    Hey HN, I built ShadowGit a while back to automatically commit code every minute to a hidden git repo (.shadowgit.git). Original goal was to easily rollback when AI tools break things. But I discovered something interesting: this minute-by-minute history is perfect context for AI assistants. So I built an MCP server that lets Claude/Cursor query this history using native git commands. The results surprised me: Before: Claude would read my entire codebase repeatedly, burning 15,000+ tokens to debug issues. After: Claude runs `git log --grep="drag"` finds when drag-and-drop worked,…

    Hi HN, I've been using Claude Code etc. for nearly all my work lately, and I wanted to see how many of my commits it was actually co-authoring. So I made this little tool to visualize my usage. You log in with Github (read-only), it scans your commits from the last year, and visualizes how many came from Claude, Cursor, or any tool that adds Co-Authored-By trailer to the commit message. Caveat: not all tools add this trailer, so this doesn't include e.g. Codex. Still, hope you find it interesting!

    Git AI is a side project I created to track AI-generated code in our repos from development, through PRs, and into production. It does not just count lines, it keeps track of them as your code evolves, gets refactored and the git history gets rewritten. Think 'git blame' but for AI code. There's a lot about how it works in the post, but wanted to share how it's been impacting me + my team: - I find I review AI code very differently than human code. Being able to see the prompts my colleagues used, what the AI wrote, and where they stepped in to override has been extraordinarily helpful. This…

    I built an Open Source tool that lets you search your Git commit history using natural language. You can like: •“When was login added?” • “What changed in the auth flow?” It embeds commit messages using OpenAI or Hugging Face models, stores them in ChromaDB, and queries them semantically with GPT via LangChain. Features: • Fast local search (local storage) • Natural language query interface • Simple Typer-based CLI with commands to list and manage embeddings Ideal for developers who want a smarter way to explore version history.

    We built Origin after realizing nobody on our team could answer "which AI wrote this?" when a bug appeared. Origin hooks into Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, and Codex. Every commit gets tagged with which agent wrote it, what prompt generated it, which model, and what it cost. Run `origin blame` on any file and you see [AI] or [HU] per line — like git blame but for AI agents. All data stored in git notes. No server required, works offline, zero lock-in. CLI is open source (MIT): github.com/dolobanko/origin-cli Team dashboard: getorigin.io Would love feedback on the attribution…

    I've been using Claude Code heavily, and kept hitting the same issue: the agent would push changes, respond to reviews, wait for CI... but never really know when it was done. It would poll CI in loops. Miss actionable comments buried among 15 CodeRabbit suggestions. Or declare victory while threads were still unresolved. The core problem: no deterministic way for an agent to know a PR is ready to merge. So I built gtg (Good To Go). One command, one answer: $ gtg 123 OK PR #123: READY CI: success (5/5 passed) Threads: 3/3 resolved It aggregates CI status, classifies review comments…

    For the past 4 years, I've been tracking the install counts of AI coding extensions in the Visual Studio Code marketplace (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, etc.) Today, I built an interactive dashboard that lets you see daily install counts for any of them over time. The chart shows GitHub Copilot by default, and you can overlay or swap in any of the other 20+ tools to compare. You can also see important dates in each tool's history (pricing changes, major releases, etc.) and how daily installs changed around those dates. Important caveats: 1) This only tracks VS Code extension…

    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…

    I built a tool which you can use to visualise your git commits at an org or repository level. It shows just how much work an engineering team, or even an individual does, that often goes unseen by non-dev teams. You can read about the build here: https://ably.com/blog/visualize-your-commits-in-realtime-wit... Repo is here: https://github.com/ably-labs/github-commit-visualizer You can deploy your own to netlify (or provider of your choice) and start visualising your own project's commits in realtime.

    Hi HN, We are researchers from ETH Zurich interested in the real-world adoption and impact of Code Agents. To measure this, we built a dashboard, scraping all public PRs on GitHub, analyzing which are created by different code agents (Codex, Jules, Copilot, Devin, etc.), and measuring their merge rates, sliced by various repository and PR characteristics. https://insights.logicstar.ai Since mid-May, we've analyzed over 10 million PRs and already found some interesting trends: Usage is high, but shallow. Agents submit ~7% of all PRs overall, but only ~1–2% on popular repos. Most…
