Hi y'all. Been working on something that should've been made a long time ago imo. It compiles codebases into O(1) hashmaps that the agent queries to discover the structure of your code/answer questions/write code. It also does complete static analysis checks on any writes the agent makes. Don't take my word for it though. Here are the benchmarks: https://benzi.fly.dev/benchmark. on 2/20 tests, Claude Code (mostly Sonnet on one task) regressed or timed out. Benzi didn't because of course, it has a map it can query and not get lost in the sauce. On the other 18 it…

Aether▲26Since coding agents like Claude Code and Codex came out, I've been pretty obsessed with them. It's hard not to when you're getting a 20x discount on inference. I've also been frustrated by them a lot. I hated walking around with my laptop lid open while connected to a hotspot on my phone, having to tediously accept commands so I don't lose my root directory, and running out of RAM when running multiple agents that were spinning up dev servers in different worktrees at once. A lot of people would say existing cloud agents are the solution to this, as none of the above problems apply to any…

Hey HN! I built Retain as the evolution of claude-reflect (github.com/BayramAnnakov/claude-reflect). The original problem: I use Claude Code/Codex daily for coding, plus claude.ai and ChatGPT occasionally. Every conversation contains decisions, corrections, and patterns I forget existed weeks later. I kept re-explaining the same preferences. claude-reflect was a CLI tool that extracted learnings from Claude Code sessions. Retain takes this further with a native macOS app that: - Aggregates conversations from Claude Code, claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Codex CLI - Instant full-text…

A bunch of companies that I spoke to had their own claude & codex OTel dashboards that showed spend + seats per month. However, none of the dashboards actually analyzed how the engineers worked with the tools and if there were any areas for improvement! That's why I created https://www.promptster.ai. Managers get aggregate level view of code quality and how that ties with team workflows (nothing on a per-engineer level). While engineers get personalized coaching on how they can save tokens while keeping output high. We also have a tool built for individuals to test their local…

Claude Code / Codex session metadata can actually tell a story about how you work with AI coding agents. 50 days ago we posted about analyzing 1.6k Claude Code sessions from our own team. Skills were used in 4% of sessions, 26% were abandoned early, and we had no real benchmark for what good looked like. Now across 20k+ sessions, we started looking at behavior patterns from derived session metadata: consistency, intensity, session shape, repo breadth, output, cost intensity, and model range. Nine archetypes fell out, which we turned into playful cards. We built a Spotify Wrapped meets…

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…

I've been using Claude Code and Codex daily and kept losing track of which conversation was doing what across projects. So I built Claudine — a VS Code extension that reads your agent session files and renders them as a live kanban board. It auto-detects status, category, git branch, and error state. Everything syncs in real time, is searchable and drag-and-droppable. Cmd+Shift+K to open. No config, no backend, no accounts. It just reads the local session files your agents already produce. Open source, MIT licensed. Would love feedback — especially on what other agents you'd want supported.

Hi HN, I'm Rob. Contextify indexes every Claude Code and Codex session on your machine into one local, searchable database. The current session, in either tool, can search all of it: /total-recall in Claude Code, $total-recall in Codex. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvrvRGp4C9M | Mac app: https://contextify.sh (App Store or DMG) | Linux: CLI with a one-line installer, same search. No signup. I split my work between Claude Code and Codex. When I burn through rate limits on one, I switch to the other, and new models keep leapfrogging each other, so the…

The magic in AI coding assistants isn't the code -- it's the prompts. I studied the externally observable behavior of Claude Code and recreated it from scratch in Python with the exact same behaviors. It works with any model -- OpenAI, Gemini, Claude. What's surprising: 1. You can keep the core agent really simple, just 280 lines of Python. As long as it supports hooks, custom sub-agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP), then all the rest of the coding-assistant-specific behavior and tools can be factored out into a separate MCP server. 2. The magic is in the prompts (1200 lines of…

As I started to use Claude Code to do more random tasks I realized I could basically build any CLI tool and it would use it. So I built one that controls the browser and open-sourced it. It should work with Codex or any other CLI-based agent! I have a long term idea where the models are all local and then the tool is privacy preserving because it's easy to remove PII from text, but I'd definitely not recommend using this for anything important just yet. You'll need a Gemini key until I (or someone else) figure out how to distill a local version out of that part of the pipeline. Github link:…
