Products that do what Docs over SSH for Agents does
Coding agents spend a lot of time in the shell. When exploring a codebase, they usually reach for the same handful of tools: grep, find, ls, cat. We built a public SSH server that hosts Supabase docs as markdown files so that agents can explore them the same way they explore code: ssh supabase.sh grep -rl 'RLS' docs ssh supabase.sh cat docs/guides/database/postgres/row-level-security.md | head -10 Under the hood commands run inside Vercel's just-bash [1] library - an emulated bash shell sandboxed within the JS runtime. It uses a VFS where the docs are mounted as markdown…

Hi HN, I built agentsearch, a free tool that turns any documentation website into a browsable filesystem that you can access with one command. npx nia-docs https://docs.anthropic.com This opens a shell where the docs are mounted as files. You can: - tree to explore - grep across pages - cat specific files The idea is simple: let agents read docs the same way developers read codebases. Most coding errors from agents come from stale or incomplete context. Docs change constantly, but models are trained on old data. RAG helps, but it returns fragments. In practice, a lot of answers…

I built a full backend-as-a-service platform — solo, in TypeScript — to fix what I hated about Supabase and Appwrite. The Problem - Supabase: Too rigid. One schema model. No flexibility. - Appwrite: Too loose. No RLS. Security is manual. The Solution: 3 Schema Types | Type | Use Case | Security | |------------|-----------------------------------|----------| | `Document` | Rapid prototyping (Appwrite-style) | Manual | | `Managed` | Secure apps (auto RLS + permissions) | *Secure by default* | | `Unmanaged`| Full SQL power (raw Postgres) | None | ### Killer Features - *APIs better than…

I’ve found coding agents to be great at 1/ finding everything they need across large codebases using only bash commands (grep, glob, ls, etc.) and 2/ building new things based on their findings (duh). What if, instead of a codebase, the files were all your workplace docs? There was a `Google_Drive` folder, a `Linear` folder, a `Slack` folder, and so on. Over the last week, we put together Craft to test this out. It’s an interface to a coding agent (OpenCode for model flexibility) running on a virtual machine with: 1. your company's complete knowledge base represented as…

Hey all. I built ShellDash, an interactive server admin dashboard with shell scripting and an appealing globe UI. https://shelldash.com The goal is to provide a global monitoring view of your servers, with shell script access, in a way that feels natural and productive, plus a minimal and appealing UI/UX. The technology is fairly interesting. This being a browser app, I built a Go WASM SSH client running in the browser, proxied through my server WebSocket endpoints. This means I can provide you a Web UI to access your servers via SSH, without ever needing to see your…

I built this because I got tired of watching Claude Code read through massive files just to find a few functions. Sourcerer lets AI agents search code semantically and grab exactly the code chunks they need instead of burning tokens on whole files. It uses tree-sitter to parse your codebase and creates a searchable index. So instead of "read auth.py (538 lines)", an agent can search for "user authentication logic" and get back just the relevant functions.

A friend and I built this as a side project to help us collaborate on files with our agents. Claude / Codex kept outputting .md and .html files which are great until we needed to share them, so we built this small website to help with that. Agent can either use an HTTP + Skill or an MCP which also uses MCP Apps to add widgets to Claude Desktop / Mobile chat. Would love any feedback and hopefully this helps someone else as it did us!

Hey HN, I built SuperHQ, an app that lets you run coding agents in local sandboxes (powered by Shuru). No custom UI wrapping the agents, they run as CLI/TUI like they were designed to. It just provides you the tools most of us (okay, maybe just me?) needed for running multiple coding agents in parallel without worrying about breaking your system or work environment. Each agent runs in its own microVM. You mount your projects in, writes go to a tmpfs overlay so your host is never touched, and you get a unified diff view to accept or discard changes. API keys never enter the sandbox, they…

I've been using LLMs for long discovery and research chats (papers, repos, best practices), then distilling that into phased markdown (build plan + tests), then handing those phases to Codex/Claude to implement and test phase by phase. The annoying part was always the distillation and keeping docs and architecture current, so I built Unpack: a lightweight GitHub template plus docs structure and a few commands that turns conversations into phases/specs and keeps project docs up to date as the agent builds. It can also generate Mintlify-friendly end-user docs. There are other…

rustaceans, we've completely open sourced our APH rust engine and servers! APH is a Agent Per Human notarization protocol, that acts like remote guardrails for when your agents are working with agents you don't own. It allows both parties to share public keys that they can verify each other are working in good faith against public servers. APH by Squillo is the missing piece of the A2A and AP2 families from Google, built with the same pedigree as the web but for the agentic web. It's designed to work with existing agentic protocols and future ones, but is the cornerstone for the agentic web…

Show HN: SEKSBot – AI agents that can't see your secrets SEKSBot is a fork of OpenClaw where agents have zero access to API keys, tokens, or credentials — ever. The core insight is borrowed from SQL prepared statements: separate the instructions from the sensitive data. Agents write requests using named secret references. A broker intercepts and injects the real credentials at execution time. The agent never sees them. How it works: seksh (our nushell fork) has secure built-in commands (seksh-http, seksh-git) that route through the broker. Agents can make authenticated API calls and git…

Hey HN! We (Stephan and Thomas) recently open-sourced Semble. We kept running into the same problem while using Claude Code on large codebases: when the agent can't find something directly, it falls back to grep, reading full files or launching subagents. This uses a lot of tokens, and often still misses the relevant code. There are existing tools for this, but they were either too slow to index on demand, needed API keys, or had poor retrieval quality. So we built Semble. It combines static Model2Vec embeddings (using our latest static model: potion-code-16M) with BM25, fused via RRF and…

Hey HN, I'm Mo. I've been building Paseo, an open source environment for running Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode across desktop, mobile, web, and CLI. It started last September as a push-to-talk voice interface for Claude Code. I wanted to talk to an agent while going on walks. Then I wanted to see what it was doing. Then text it when I couldn't talk. Then review diffs, run multiple agents, and manage work across machines. After a lot of iteration, it turned into a broader environment. The basic model is: - A daemon runs on your machine (MacBook, desktop, VPS, etc.). - Clients connect to it…

Hey HN! I built Termitty because I was tired of the hacky solutions I kept writing for SSH automation. While building my workflow automation SaaS, I had this seemingly simple requirement: workflows needed to execute tasks on remote servers, not just in browsers. Selenium made the browser part elegant - you could wait for elements, handle dynamic content, maintain session state. But for SSH? I was stuck in the stone age. I ended up writing this monster of a custom driver that: - Maintained persistent SSH connections in a pool - Kept track of working directories between commands - Tried to…
