Weave▲237Hey HN, We’re building Weave: an ML-powered tool to measure engineering output, that actually understands engineering output! Why? Here’s the thing: almost every eng leader already measures output - either openly or behind closed doors. But they rely on metrics like lines of code (correlation with effort: ~0.3), number of PRs, or story points (slightly better at ~0.35). These metrics are, frankly, terrible proxies for productivity. We’ve developed a custom model that analyzes code and its impact directly, with a far better 0.94 correlation. The result? A standardized engineering output…

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…

I've been presenting at local meetups about Context Engineering, RAG, Skills, etc.. I even have a vbrownbag coming up on LinkedIn about this topic so I figured I would make a basic example that uses bedrock so I can use it in my talks or vbrownbags. Hopefully it's useful.

Context Overflow▲109Hey HN, After using a bunch of agents, my friend and I noticed a major issue: an agent could spend a bunch of time solving a tricky task, but when the session ended all that knowledge vanishes. Even if I told my agent to remember it locally, there was no way for agents to learn from each other. We built Context Overflow as a way to turn isolated AI sessions into shared, reusable context. With Context Overflow, agents can: - Search through past solutions when starting a task - Ask questions when they get stuck - Share findings when they solve a non-trivial problem We support a variety of ways…

Hi! I spent 3 years evaluating LLMs for OpenAI, Anthropic, METR, and other labs. Kept running into the same problem: AI workflows break in production because there's no clean way to add human oversight, handle failures gracefully, or deploy without choosing between "all cloud" and "all self-hosted." WeaveMind is a visual workflow builder in Rust. The core idea is that humans and AI are interchangeable nodes in the same graph. When a workflow needs judgment, it pauses, notifies the team via browser extension, first responder picks it up. There's also an AI assistant that generates workflows…

I work as an engineer at the Dutch government. We have hundreds of technical standards that developers should follow when building government software: API design rules, messaging protocols, authentication profiles, accessibility requirements. The problem is that most developers don't know these standards exist until someone reviews their code (if at all). Skills are Markdown files that inject domain knowledge into AI coding tools. When a developer starts building an API, the tool automatically loads the relevant standard. No plugins to write, no code. Just structured knowledge in Markdown.…

Hello HN, I'm Ali, building Decispher. The problem we're working on is that coding agents repeatedly rediscover context that already exists inside an engineering organization. A developer working on a feature can combine information from previous PRs, Jira tickets, Slack discussions, ownership boundaries, architectural decisions and their own experience. Coding agents usually start with a prompt and a repository, then spend tokens searching for that same context—or miss it entirely. Decispher is a context and memory layer for engineering agents. It currently has three parts: 1) Context…
