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…

FlowTask 2.0▲138For years, I was stuck. Trapped in a loop. Every new project, every team initiative – it began with the same soul-crushing setup. Hours. Gone. Not on the actual work, mind you. But on the meta-work. Defining tasks. Sketching forms. Mapping workflows. Hunting for that 'perfect' template that never quite fit. Just trying to get to zero. To a starting line where meaningful work could actually begin. Most project management tools? They're brilliant once things are up and running. Tracking, collaborating, reporting – they nail it. But that initial blank canvas? That moment you’re staring at an…

AGENTS.lock keeps AI agent skills, instructions, and MCP servers in sync across Claude, Codex, Gemini, and Copilot CLIs using a single TOML lockfile as the source of truth. Instead of manually copying skills and configs between tools, you declare everything once in AGENTS.lock and run `al sync`. GitHub: https://github.com/luml-ai/AGENTS.lock

Hey HN, We’re two developers (co-founders) with a team of 20 who got tired of spending hours reviewing PRs, so we built Infinitcode.ai, an AI-powered code reviewer that: - *Summarizes PRs in plain English*: No more deciphering 1,000-line diff jungles - *Catches more than bugs*: Security holes, performance pitfalls, code smells, even typos (yes, we’ll flag “vurnerabilities” and vulnerabilities) - *Zero onboarding*: Works instantly—no “let me learn your codebase for weeks” nonsense. Why we’re posting: We’re in alpha and need brutal honesty. Roast our tool, mock our UI, or tell us why AI will…

I've been using Claude Code heavily, and kept hitting the same issue: the agent would push changes, respond to reviews, wait for CI... but never really know when it was done. It would poll CI in loops. Miss actionable comments buried among 15 CodeRabbit suggestions. Or declare victory while threads were still unresolved. The core problem: no deterministic way for an agent to know a PR is ready to merge. So I built gtg (Good To Go). One command, one answer: $ gtg 123 OK PR #123: READY CI: success (5/5 passed) Threads: 3/3 resolved It aggregates CI status, classifies review comments…

I was frustrated with not being able to know why the code written by my colleague agents was in the codebase, so I build a tool to version agent trace along code in git.

Nuggetz▲14Hey HN, I'm Kris. I run a small B2B SaaS (7-person team) and we use AI constantly - Claude for strategy and product decisions, ChatGPT for research, Gemini for docs. The problem: Decisions get made, but the reasoning disappears. Last month a teammate asked why we scoped a feature a certain way. I knew the answer - I'd worked through the trade-offs with Claude over 30+ messages. But that rationale lived in my head and chat history. To everyone else, the decision just appeared without a context, without "why." If I get hit by a bus, that thinking is gone. We tried the usual fixes. Notion wiki.…
