Agentinel

The local security guardrail for AI coding agents

What it does

Because your AI loves slopsquatting. The zero-cost, locally-run firewall for AI agents. Designed to instantly intercept hallucinated and malicious packages across JavaScript, Python, and Rust before your terminal runs them.

Because your AI loves slopsquatting. The zero-cost, locally-run package guardrail for AI agents. Designed to intercept hallucinated and malicious npm packages before they execute.

LLMs are incredible coders. They are also genuinely terrible at remembering exact npm package names. They will confidently tell Claude to install react-router-dom-v7-next-beta like they have used it a thousand times. They have not. Nobody has. The package was registered yesterday by someone who knew this moment was coming. Agentinel sits between the AI and your terminal. Every install request is scanned against an extensive threat database and heuristic checks before a single byte hits disk. Locally. With ultra-low latency. Agentinel feeds a structured JSON block back into the AI context so it understands what was blocked and why, then self-corrects without human intervention. npm , pip ,…from agentinel.habitwala.in

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
