Single-agent LLMs suck at long-running complex tasks. We’ve open-sourced a multi-agent orchestrator that we’ve been using to handle long-running LLM tasks. We found that single LLM agents tend to stall, loop, or generate non-compiling code, so we built a harness for agents to coordinate over shared context while work is in progress. How it works: 1. Orchestrator agent that manages task decomposition 2. Sub-agents for parallel work 3. Subscriptions to task state and progress 4. Real-time sharing of intermediate discoveries between agents We tested this on a Putnam-level math problem, but the…

I built this because Cursor, Claude Code and other agentic AI tools kept giving me tests that looked fine but failed when I ran them. Or worse - I'd ask the agent to run them and it would start looping: fix tests, those fail, then it starts "fixing" my code so tests pass, or just deletes assertions so they "pass". Out of that frustration I built KeelTest - a VS Code extension that generates pytest tests and executes them, got hooked and decided to push this project forward... When tests fail, it tries to figure out why: - Generation error: Attemps to fix it automatically, then tries again -…

Hi HN, I’m one of the creators of Keel and we're excited (and nervous in equal measures) to be sharing this. We built Keel on two principles: 1. A backend is much more than just a database. A scalable backend platform should be grounded in engineering best practices and come complete with a full suite of services without having to wire 10 SaaS products together 2. A backend should not be an engineering black box and should be designed from day one to support the entire organisation over time and scale. Keel is a schema driven backend engine. Define your data model, api actions, permissions,…

Crewly Codes▲13Hey HN, Crewly Codes is an AI product dev workflow where the AI specs the work before writing code. Morgan (AI PM) turns your idea into structured specs — user stories, acceptance criteria, edge cases. You lock the spec, DevCrew builds it, QA validates it. Watch it happen or come back to finished code. The thesis: most AI coding failures are spec failures. The AI builds the wrong thing because no one defined "done." Morgan forces that upfront. Multi-agent but orchestrated — sequential handoffs with shared context, not parallel chaos. Runs inside Claude Code and Codex. Free tier available.
