To my knowledge, this is the first formally verified implementation of a 3D constructive solid geometry (CSG) operation: mesh intersection, implemented in Lean 4 and verified against a concise specification that pins down the surface of the resulting mesh exactly and guarantees practical well-formedness conditions on the triangulation. This project is also an experiment in avoiding having to trust AI-generated code. A human reviewer only needs to read 93 lines of formal specification and run the Lean checker to certify the correctness of the kernel, skipping the intricate 1000+ lines of…

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…

Hi there, HN! We’re Jai and Sanket from DeepSource (YC W20), and today we’re launching Autofix Bot, a hybrid static analysis + AI agent purpose-built for in-the-loop use with AI coding agents. AI coding agents have made code generation nearly free, and they’ve shifted the bottleneck to code review. Static-only analysis with a fixed set of checkers isn’t enough. LLM-only review has several limitations: non-deterministic across runs, low recall on security issues, expensive at scale, and a tendency to get ‘distracted’. We spent the last 6 years building a deterministic, static-analysis-only…

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…

Hey HN! We're Charles and Dean. A few weeks ago we posted about Stage, a code review tool that guides you through reading a PR step by step - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47796818. We got a lot of great feedback but also heard from many people that they wanted to have the chapters experience even before opening a PR… so we built the Stage CLI as the local, open-source version that anyone can try. Here’s a quick demo video: https://www.tella.tv/video/stage-cli-demo-f55q It works with any coding agent of your choice. The skill instructs the agent to…

Hi! My name is Herve Kom, a computer science student that is interested in learning new things everyday! As one of my graduation project, I have developed a Claude Code -like Coding CLI, but with enhancement for API Testing: - Auto-generate & run tests (unit, e2e, Playwright, CI/CD, etc.) - Say bye-bye to hallucinations with built-in MCP Server to let LLM directly read from API Docs - Adding Agent.md support for better context persistence across your whole codebase - Automatic bug & security scans (logic is kind of basic but works great!) - Vibes, I want it to feel less "enterprise" but…

Hi HN, I built LucidShark: a local-first, open-source CLI tool that acts as a quality & security pipeline. It can be used to increase the confidence in AI-generated (or AI-assisted) code. - Config lives as code in version-controlled lucidshark.yml - 100% local; no cloud, no SaaS - Runs 10 quality domains automatically: linting, formatting, type checking, SAST/security scanning, SCA/dependency checks, IaC validation, container scanning, unit tests, coverage thresholds, code duplication, etc. - Produces a QUALITY.md dashboard with health scores (e.g. 9.1/10), trends, and issue…

We've been working on an open-source coding agent that generates code alongside machine-checkable proofs. We'd love feedback from the HN community, especially from people interested in formal verification, Lean, Dafny, or AI coding agents. Currently, only 3 langauges can be verified.

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.
