Straion▲376Hi HN — we’re building Straion (founders are ex‑Netlify, ex‑Elastic, ex‑Dynatrace). Core idea: static AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md files are useful, but they often become too broad for real tasks. Instead of injecting all guidance every time, Straion selects the relevant rules per task and keeps context narrow. How it works today: 1. You define org/team/project rules centrally 2. A CLI skill calls our pipeline during agent workflows 3. Straion returns only the rules relevant to the current task 4. The agent gets focused context instead of a giant rules dump This reduces context bloat…

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…

GitAgent by Lyzr▲231Hey 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…

I shipped a wiki layer for AI agents that uses markdown + git as the source of truth, with a bleve (BM25) + SQLite index on top. No vector or graph db yet. It runs locally in ~/.wuphf/wiki/ and you can git clone it out if you want to take your knowledge with you. The shape is the one Karpathy has been circling for a while: an LLM-native knowledge substrate that agents both read from and write into, so context compounds across sessions rather than getting re-pasted every morning. Most implementations of that idea land on Postgres, pgvector, Neo4j, Kafka, and a dashboard. I…

Context Gateway▲220We built an open-source proxy that sits between coding agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc.) and the LLM, compressing tool outputs before they enter the context window. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vFZ6MPrwjw#t=9s. Motivation: Agents are terrible at managing context. A single file read or grep can dump thousands of tokens into the window, most of it noise. This isn't just expensive — it actively degrades quality. Long-context benchmarks consistently show steep accuracy drops as context grows (OpenAI's GPT-5.4 eval goes from 97.2% at 32k to 36.6% at 1M…

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…

Superexpert.AI▲107Hi HN — I built Superexpert.AI, an open‑source platform that lets you spin up multi‑task AI agents in minutes without writing any code (and lets you extend everything later). What it does - Plug‑and‑play agents – Create agents from a web form. Each agent can contain multiple tasks, and each task can run a different AI model, use its own tools, and follow custom instructions. - First‑class extensibility – Register a TypeScript function with registerServerTool, registerClientTool, or registerContextTool to add new functionality. If you want to share it, publish it as an NPM package and…

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.

GitHub: https://github.com/ClioAI/kw-sdk Most AI agent frameworks target code. Write code, run tests, fix errors, repeat. That works because code has a natural verification signal. It works or it doesn't. This SDK treats knowledge work like an engineering problem: Task → Brief → Rubric (hidden from executor) → Work → Verify → Fail? → Retry → Pass → Submit The orchestrator coordinates subagents, web search, code execution, and file I/O. then checks its own work against criteria it can't game (the rubric is generated in a separate call and the executor never sees it…

We run superglue, an OSS agentic integration platform. Last week I talked to a founder of another YC startup. She found a use case for our CLI that we hadn't officially launched yet. Her problem: customers wanted to create Opps in Salesforce from inside the chat in her app. We kept seeing this pattern: teams build agents and their users can perfectly describe what they want: "pull these three objects from Salesforce and push to nCino when X condition is true", but translating that into a generalized hard-coded tool the agent can call is a lot of work and does not scale since the logic is…

I finally got around to making a tool I've wanted for a long time: you can basically think of it as being "like Gmail for coding agents." If you've ever tried to use a bunch of instances of Claude Code or Codex at once across the same project, you've probably noticed how annoying it can be when they freak out about the other agent changing the files they're working on. Then they start doing annoying things, like restoring files from git, in the process wiping out another agent's work without a backup. Or if you've tried to have agents coordinate on two separate repos, like a Python backend…
