1Code▲569Just to clarify the background a bit. This project wasn’t planned as a big standalone release at first. On January 16, Ollama added support for an Anthropic-compatible API, and I was curious how far this could be pushed in practice. I decided to try plugging local Ollama models directly into a Claude Code-style workflow and see if it would actually work end to end. Here is the release note from Ollama that made this possible: https://ollama.com/blog/claude Technically, what I do is pretty straightforward: - Detect which local models are available in Ollama. - When…

Multitui▲126I made Multitui to control the sandbox of coding agents easily without changing my dev environment (no special container or VM). There's no configuration required in your local dev environment... just launch ClaudeCode.app instead of claude in your general terminal. Containers and VMs can be useful, but I always have a bunch of projects going and those solutions feel heavy. Multitui creates single-purpose native macOS apps for any terminal app, with optional sandbox. It uses the built-in macOS sandbox-exec along with log monitoring to give you an easy UI to manage rules, see what's being…

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…

As a former CIO who managed teams working with millions of lines of legacy code (Visual Basic, Sybase, Oracle Forms, and worse), I feel the pain of maintaining and onboarding developers to legacy systems. Believing that LLM-enabled tools can play a role in solving this, I've built a tool that automatically generates documentation for legacy codebases using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) & Claude Sonnet. At first glance, I think this approach has merit. Some samples are in the README. I welcome your thoughts. The Problem: - Legacy codebases are notoriously difficult to understand and…

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…

Tril converts every function in a repo into plain English descriptions, then runs and tests them — using an LLM as the interpreter instead of a runtime. The concept: programming languages exist because machines couldn't understand human intent. LLMs can. So what happens if you remove the code entirely and just... describe what each function should do? The tool replaces functions one by one, runs your test suite after each swap to confirm nothing breaks, and outputs a .md file. Then `tril run` spins up an HTTP server that sends each function's English description to Claude and returns the…

We were both genuinely impressed by Claude Code after it helped each of us fix nasty CI problems overnight. Doing those fixes manually would have taken days. After that experience, we each found ourselves struggling through Ctrl+Tab through multiple Claude Code windows in our terminals. While we enjoyed having agents working for us in parallel, context switching and cycling through each terminal tab was a real pain. So we thought: Can we design a TUI dashboard that manages a large swarm of agents in one place? Even better, can agents manage agents hierarchically, like how companies work?…

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…

Hello HN! Sebastian here from Schub. We just open-sourced a new project I've been working on, called legacy-use, and I’d love to get your thoughts. At Schub, we’ve been building agents that automate legacy Windows software (healthcare systems, finance tools, EHRs), the kind of stuff that’s mission-critical but hasn’t changed since Windows XP. These apps have zero APIs and usually require humans clicking around all day. So we built legacy-use, an agentic API layer for any desktop app. Well, technically any software. Legacy-use lets AI agents control GUI-based software by emulating mouse and…
