    Compyle▲125

    Hey HN! I'm Jonathan, one of the co-founders of <>> Compyle. We're building a coding agent that isn't afraid to stop and ask questions! It checks in with you before it makes key product and engineering decisions, so you can trust it with more open-ended tasks than you can with other coding agents. Before Compyle, we were building SmartAppetite (AI agents for insurance). Using tools like Claude Code &#x2F; Cursor, we had a demo in days - then spent weeks cleaning up a codebase we no longer fully understood. We had to pause feature development just to refactor. That pain is why we built…

    Hi! I’m Nathan: an ML Engineer at Mozilla.ai: I built agent-of-empires (aoe): a CLI application to help you manage all of your running Claude Code&#x2F;Opencode sessions and know when they are waiting for you. - Written in rust and relies on tmux for security and reliability - Monitors state of cli sessions to tell you when an agent is running vs idle vs waiting for your input - Manage sessions by naming them, grouping them, configuring profiles for various settings I'm passionate about getting self-hosted open-weight LLMs to be valid options to compete with proprietary closed models. One…

    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…

    Hey HN! I built Retain as the evolution of claude-reflect (github.com&#x2F;BayramAnnakov&#x2F;claude-reflect). The original problem: I use Claude Code&#x2F;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…
