    Hey HN! I'm Connor, creator of Replicas. I'm a heavy Codex/Claude Code user, and I wanted to hand off tasks to agents like I would to an engineer - kick something off before work, let it scaffold while I'm at lunch, even come back to a ready PR. The problem: existing alternatives use workspace VMs that are black boxes. I have no access to any of them - they can't run tests, read logs, or use tools like the Playwright MCP (which I use to verify agents actually fixed what they claim to fix). Replicas gives agents real cloud workspaces where they can: - Run your test suite and read the…

    One coding agent orchestrator UI for Claude and Codex, but actually feels nice. Free, open-source, MIT licensed. Why I built it: - I wanted a lightweight UI as nice as the Codex app, but without the complexity and the custom diffs on the side - I want files and diffs open straight in my editor! - And I wanted both agents - Anthropic + OpenAI — in one place How it works: - No API keys, no OAuth, no separate billing — it just uses whatever you're already logged into. So your Claude Max and ChatGPT/Codex subscriptions both work out of the box. - Talks to Claude Code via the Claude Agent…

    It uses your local Claude and GitHub CLI and git worktrees, so there's nothing to configure beyond what you already have. Our AI coding workflow was a hodgepodge of scripts and ad-hoc processes, so we built this to centralize and streamline - and most importantly adapt as things change. Some cool features so far (lots more planned): 1. One click github issue to agent working on it. 2. Ratcheting mode, where it watches CI for code review comments and build failures, and automatically fixes them. Would love genuine feedback, bug reports, PRs, suggestions, etc.

    Since coding agents like Claude Code and Codex came out, I've been pretty obsessed with them. It's hard not to when you're getting a 20x discount on inference. I've also been frustrated by them a lot. I hated walking around with my laptop lid open while connected to a hotspot on my phone, having to tediously accept commands so I don't lose my root directory, and running out of RAM when running multiple agents that were spinning up dev servers in different worktrees at once. A lot of people would say existing cloud agents are the solution to this, as none of the above problems apply to any…

    As I started to use Claude Code to do more random tasks I realized I could basically build any CLI tool and it would use it. So I built one that controls the browser and open-sourced it. It should work with Codex or any other CLI-based agent! I have a long term idea where the models are all local and then the tool is privacy preserving because it's easy to remove PII from text, but I'd definitely not recommend using this for anything important just yet. You'll need a Gemini key until I (or someone else) figure out how to distill a local version out of that part of the pipeline. Github link:…

    I love Claude Code but got tired of having nothing to do while I waited for sessions to finish, and managing multiple sessions on the command line was getting annoying and I kept losing track of the tabs. I originally built a quick and dirty version of this for my own use, but decided to polish it up and make it open source. The idea is that you should be able to do all your agentic coding without leaving the tool or needing to go back to a traditional IDE. You can view the diffs, run your program, and merge your changes back. I support OSX and Linux right now, but could add Windows support…
