Hey HN, we’re building an open specification that lets agents discover and invoke APIs with natural language, built on the OpenAPI standard. agents.json clearly defines the contract between LLMs and API as a standard that's open, observable, and replicable. Here’s a walkthrough of how it works: https://youtu.be/kby2Wdt2Dtk?si=59xGCDy48Zzwr7ND. There’s 2 parts to this: 1. An agents.json file describes how to link API calls together into outcome-based tools for LLMs. This file sits alongside an OpenAPI file. 2. The agents.json SDK loads agents.json files as tools for an LLM that…

Hey HN, we're Jon and Kristiane, and we're building Orloj (https://orloj.dev), an open-source orchestration runtime for multi-agent AI systems. You define agents, tools, policies, and workflows in declarative YAML manifests, and Orloj handles scheduling, execution, governance, and reliability. Over the past year we tried to use many different platforms/frameworks to build out agent systems and while building we hit some sort of problem with all of them, so we decided to have a go at it. Jon has worked with kubernettes and terraform for years and always liked the declarative…

Hey HN, We’ve been experimenting with how to make AI agents more deterministic, observable, and production-safe, and that led us to build AgentML — an open-source language for defining agent behavior as state machines, not prompt chains. My co-founder posted before but linked to the project website instead of the repo, so resharing here. AgentML lets you describe your agent’s reasoning and actions as a finite-state model (think SCXML for agents). Each state, transition, and tool call is explicit and machine-verifiable. That means you can: - Reproduce any decision path deterministically -…

Mininet-YAML is a powerful tool that simplifies the creation of virtual networks through YAML-configured topologies. By defining hosts, routers, and their interfaces in a YAML file, users can deploy complex network topologies directly on their machines within seconds. This tool integrates with Mininet and Open vSwitch to emulate network environments, allowing users to manage virtual nodes with the same granularity as physical hardware. Moreover, Mininet-YAML empowers users with advanced traffic engineering capabilities. They can effortlessly specify maximum transmission rates (goodput)…
