Athena: AI Coding Agent for Terminal

What it does

Most AI coding agents forget your codebase the moment the prompt ends. Athena doesn't. It builds a real knowledge graph of your project symbols, call paths, dependencies so it edits with the same context an Architect would have. Open source, terminal-native, provider-agnostic.

Athena is an open-source AI coding agent for the terminal that knows your codebase, not just your prompt.

Reads, edits, and runs code alongside you interactively, over RPC, or embedded via SDK. Extend it with TypeScript, skills, and themes. Each package sits at one level. The core agent loop has no I/O, no session, no UI. It only emitsfrom kushalbanda.github.io

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  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…
