Context Gateway▲220We built an open-source proxy that sits between coding agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc.) and the LLM, compressing tool outputs before they enter the context window. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vFZ6MPrwjw#t=9s. Motivation: Agents are terrible at managing context. A single file read or grep can dump thousands of tokens into the window, most of it noise. This isn't just expensive — it actively degrades quality. Long-context benchmarks consistently show steep accuracy drops as context grows (OpenAI's GPT-5.4 eval goes from 97.2% at 32k to 36.6% at 1M…

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…

Our team lives in Slack, but we don’t have access to the Slack MCP and couldn’t find anything out there that worked for us, so we coded our own agent-slack CLI * Can paste in Slack URLs * Token efficient * Zero-config (auto auth if you use Slack Desktop) Auto downloads files/snippets. Also can read Slack canvases as markdown! MIT License

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…

Hey, HN! I'm Aaron. I built an open-source Lovable for Claude Code users. Platforms like Lovable, Replit Agent, and Bolt require separate API keys and $25+/month subscriptions. But if you’re already subscribed to Claude Pro or Cursor, you can use those plans directly without extra costs. Claudable runs entirely locally through Claude Code (Cursor CLI also supported) and provides: - Instant UI preview (similar to Lovable) - Web-optimized, production-ready designs - Direct Git integration - One-click Vercel deployment - Zero additional API costs It’s open source and available today. I’m…

Hey everyone! For the past two weeks my friend and I have been heads-down building Cloi, a fully local debugging agent that runs right in your terminal. You probably know the drill—every AI coding tool asks for API keys, subscriptions, and uploads your entire codebase to the cloud. Cloi does none of that: it runs entirely on your machine, with no cloud, no API keys, no subscriptions, and zero data leaving your system. What Cloi does: - Contextual error capture: Grabs your stack trace, local files, and environment to understand the issue. - Local LLM inference: Spins up Ollama on your box and…

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…

Hi HN, I recently open sourced a small tool (Remuda) that I built at work to remove some of the friction of launching and managing agents and figured HN might be interested. I also wrote a post on the company blog that goes into more detail about why I built it and showcases its features: https://www.yendo.com/blog/remuda-an-agent-orchestrator

Code▲20Hey HN, Today we're launching Code, a community-driven, open-source coding agent for your terminal. It's a fork of OpenAI's codex with a focus on developer ergonomics and local control. Key features: - Browser integration – attach to your Chrome via CDP or use a built-in headless browser. You can browse pages, run the CLI in a browser session, and even take screenshots from the terminal. - Multi-agent commands – /plan, /solve and /code orchestrate multiple models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) to propose and implement solutions, with consensus or race options. - Diff viewer – see…

I've been using Claude Code and Codex daily and kept losing track of which conversation was doing what across projects. So I built Claudine — a VS Code extension that reads your agent session files and renders them as a live kanban board. It auto-detects status, category, git branch, and error state. Everything syncs in real time, is searchable and drag-and-droppable. Cmd+Shift+K to open. No config, no backend, no accounts. It just reads the local session files your agents already produce. Open source, MIT licensed. Would love feedback — especially on what other agents you'd want supported.

Crit is a single-binary CLI that opens your file or code diffs in a browser with GitHub-inspired interface. Your favourite agent acts on the feedback and responds back - continue until you're happy. I've been building this for a few months now and it's been helping me a lot juggling parallel conversations with agents, making it easier to actually review the plans they generate and the resulting code - all before it hits GitHub. It also allows you to export the plans to a hosted service (which you can self-host for privacy), to solicit feedback from your team. No account needed, and reviews…
