Building Your Own Coding Agent on Top of Zot – Meet Coil

What it does

How zot ships its internals as importable Go packages, so you can write a working coding agent harness in about a hundred lines. Most "AI coding agent" projects spend 90% of their code on plumbing: streaming protocol parsing, provider auth, tool schemas, a file sandbox, a system prompt. The interesting 10% (what your agent actually does) gets buried. zot flips that ratio. It hands you the plumbing as importable Go packages so you can write a working harness in about a hundred lines. This article walks through coil , a tiny harness built on zot, and shows how the pieces fit together. zot ships its internals as ordinary Go packages under github.com/patriceckhart/zot/packages/... : You import…from patriceckhart.com

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
