Hi HN! We just launched Codacy Guardrails, an IDE extension with a CLI for code analysis and MCP server that enforces security & quality rules on AI-generated code in real-time. It hooks into AI coding assistants (like VS Code Agent Mode, Cursor, Windsurf), silently scanning and fixing AI-suggested code that has vulnerabilities or violates your coding standards, while the code it’s being generated. We built this because coding agents can be a double-edged sword. They do boost productivity, but can easily introduce insecure or non-compliant code. One recent research team at NYU found that 40%…

Hey HN, I’m Henry, cofounder and CTO at Span (https://span.app/). Today we’re launching AI Code Detector, an AI code detection tool you can try in your browser. The explosion of AI generated code has created some weird problems for engineering orgs. Tools like Cursor and Copilot are used by virtually every org on the planet – but each codegen tool has its own idiosyncratic way of reporting usage. Some don’t report usage at all. Our view is that token spend will start competing with payroll spend as AI becomes more deeply ingrained in how we build software, so understanding how…

Security linter for vibe coding: fix vulns as you build

I'm an infrastructure architect who started using AI assistants to write code 3 months ago. After building several systems with Claude, I noticed a pattern: the code always had security issues I could spot from my ops background, but I couldn't fix them myself since I can't actually write code. Why I built this: I needed a way to verify AI-generated code was production-safe. Existing tools either required cloud uploads (privacy concern) or produced output too large for AI context windows. TheAuditor solves both problems - it runs completely offline and chunks findings into 65KB segments that…

I built an open-source AI agent for security testing to find and fix vulnerabilities in your code. I’ve noticed how bad security vulnerabilities have gotten with everyone shipping AI code slop, so I wanted to build something that allows for vibe-coding at full speed without compromising security. Traditional security tools aren’t effective, and manual pen-testing can’t keep up with the rapidly growing AI code This tool runs your code dynamically, finds vulnerabilities, and validates them through actual exploitation. You can either run it against your codebase or enter your (or someone…

Hey HN! We're Ben and Izak, the cofounders of Vigilant. Vigilant is a lightweight tool for managing structured logs. It lets you centralize your logs, search them, and create alerts. We used Cloudwatch for logs on our last product, and it was quite painful. Even basic searches felt tedious. We’ve used dedicated observability tools at past jobs, but most of them have a steep learning curve and require widespread integration (and some still feel clunky). With Vigilant, we're focused on making logs feel fast and simple. We operate at the application layer with an sdk. We're trying a unique…
