Cyris▲98"Cyris is the orchestration layer your AI agents are missing. Whether you're a two-person startup or a 10,000-employee health system — connect agents from OpenClaw, Claude, GPT-4o, Ollama, EPIC, or any platform and have them coordinate, hand off, and escalate across your entire organization. Self-hosted. Auditable. Human-governed" Just a side project I've been working on, and was curious whether people would actually find something like this useful! I'd recommend checking out the sandbox as well.

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…

Code▲20Hey HN, Today we're launching Code, a community-driven, open-source coding agent for your terminal. It's a fork of OpenAI's codex with a focus on developer ergonomics and local control. Key features: - Browser integration – attach to your Chrome via CDP or use a built-in headless browser. You can browse pages, run the CLI in a browser session, and even take screenshots from the terminal. - Multi-agent commands – /plan, /solve and /code orchestrate multiple models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) to propose and implement solutions, with consensus or race options. - Diff viewer – see…

Clink lets you use the coding agents you already pay for (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Z.ai GLM) to build → live-preview → ship apps in an isolated container. No token purchases, no extra cost for coding. Just link your existing Claude/OpenAI/Gemini account and start building and deploying instantly. Why we built this: Claude Code is our go-to for coding, but it lacked preview + deploy capabilities. We didn't want to pay Lovable again just for that. Different agents excel at different tasks - Claude Code for versatility, Codex for complex work, GLM for speed. We needed one…

At my last job I spent a year building an agentic coding platform used by hundreds of thousands of people. Along the way I tried building a hosting service on OpenClaw, and also ran Hermes myself for a while. Both projects have some great feature ideas, but when I tried to use them for real work they failed more often than not, and their security models worried me. I just couldn't see either one becoming something I'd trust enough for myself/friends/family. After a lot of exploration I realized that what I really wanted all along was to create automations using the coding agent I…

Onboard-CLI—a blazing-fast developer tool I built in Go. It uses AST parsing (Tree-sitter) to map out codebase architecture and automatically blocks spaghetti code and bad dependencies locally before you even commit. I heavily optimized the concurrency, so it can parse 50k+ files in under 10 seconds.
