    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…

    Hey HN, We built GitAgent — a git-native, framework-agnostic open standard for defining AI agents. The idea is simple: your repo IS the agent. npx @open-gitagent/gitagent@latest run -r https://github.com/shreyas-lyzr/architect -a claude That one command clones the repo, reads agent.yaml + SOUL.md + skills/, and launches it with Claude Code. Switch `-a openai` or `-a lyzr` to run the same agent on a different framework. No code changes. Goal: is keep the gitagent as a open standard ledger for an AI Agent in a VM, with versioned memories, skills etc. An agent is…

    Oak is a version control system I've been working on designed for agents (https://oak.space). It improves the speed and context your agents need when working on serious projects. With virtual mounts, agents locally and in the cloud no longer need a full copy of a repo to get working. You can work on many tasks in parallel without needing to download everything or fight worktrees. Version control shouldn't waste you or your agents time. It should be fast, creative and fun to make things with agents. Oak is still early in development. There's no Windows build and missing plenty of…

    Today we are launching YourGPT 2.0, an update focused on making support, sales, and operational workflows work together more smoothly in one system. This release improves how workflows are built, how the platform connects to external tools, and how context is maintained across long, multi-channel interactions. AI Studio now makes it much easier to create and refine workflows. You can describe the process you want in natural language and the system generates the full workflow for you. It can also help debug issues by showing what happened at each step and explaining where things went off…

    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…

    Hi HN, Martin, Nils, and Jannes here. We are building Legit, an open source version control and collaboration layer for AI agents and AI native applications. You can find the repo here https://github.com/Legit-Control/monorepo and the website here https://legitcontrol.com Over the last years, we worked on multiple developer tools and AI driven products. As soon as we started letting agents modify real files and business critical data, one problem kept showing up. We could not reliably answer what changed, why it changed, or how to safely undo it. Today, most AI…

    Today you can easily adopt AI coding tools because you have git for branching and rolling back if AI writes bad code. We haven't seen this same capability for data and decided to build it ourselves. Nile is a new kind of data lake, purpose built for using with AI. It can act as your data engineer or data analyst creating new tables and rolling back bad changes in seconds. We support real versions for data, schema, and ETL. We'd love your feedback on any part of what we are building - https://getnile.ai/ What do you think?

    Beads tables (Steve Yegge's) for issue tracking. Can view git trees, terminals, issue tables, notes, and files all on one screen. Can connect multiple machines via private network (like tailscale) I had this issue where i really did not like the when i had many terminals open at the same time - when you try to code with 6+ agents at the same time, across, say, 3 projects, you get huge context fragmentation. I am a visual person, and its way easier for me to remember where things are if I placed them there - I build this 2D canvas for myself initially and then decided to open-source - the…

    We were both genuinely impressed by Claude Code after it helped each of us fix nasty CI problems overnight. Doing those fixes manually would have taken days. After that experience, we each found ourselves struggling through Ctrl+Tab through multiple Claude Code windows in our terminals. While we enjoyed having agents working for us in parallel, context switching and cycling through each terminal tab was a real pain. So we thought: Can we design a TUI dashboard that manages a large swarm of agents in one place? Even better, can agents manage agents hierarchically, like how companies work?…

    Hello HN, Ever since agents have become increasingly common in development, I've been scratching my head as to how to control their randomness. Recently, I decided to emulate an issue-tracking and project-management tool for agent-driven workflows. Kanban is a Rust-based coordination layer designed to provide a feature-rich terminal interface and enforce rigorous workflows. It aims to be versatile and extendable, made to be tailored to any preferred flow. It comes with full git integration and guardrails such that only what truly benefits a project can go through. The workflow boils down to…
