Coding harness for C/C++ developers
hey guys, i wanted to show one of my side projects. The idea is a coding harness (independent of models) natively designed for C/C++ developer workflows. I'm a C++ dev and do not find claude code work well with C++ toolchain like gdb and perf. The current version has integrations for gdb, clang-tidy, cppcheck, sanitizers, perf, benchmarking, compile DB navigation, Godbolt, symbolization, binary inspection, and decompilation. It supports Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and self-hosted models. There are editor workflows for VS Code, CLion, emacs, neovim, and cursor.
Coding harness for C/C++ developers launched on July 13, 2026 with 26 votes, #764 of 24,623 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches.
What it does
LLMs solve <10% of real world C++ tasks. ByteAsk is a community effort of 100+ volunteers working to change this. ByteAsk works with the sanitizers, the debugger, and your test suite before you see a diff. Built-in support for LLVM, GCC, gdb, Valgrind, CMake, and more. Used by engineers across Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and more.
ByteAsk edits your repo from the terminal, then drives the sanitizers, the debugger, and your test suite before you see a diff. Built-in support for LLVM, GCC, gdb, Valgrind, CMake, and more.
ByteAsk works in your terminal. It edits the code, runs the compiler, the sanitizers and your tests, and can drive the gdb session you already have open. You review the diff. Linux allows one debugger per process. If your gdb is attached, an agent that shells out to gdb gets Operation not permitted. ByteAsk connects through a bridge you start inside your own gdb, reads the live state, and asks before it runs anything that changes it. Your gdb is stopped on the bug, and you ask an agent for help. Your gdb holds the process. A second debugger is refused by the kernel. ByteAsk goes through the bridge you started. Check it yourself: while your gdb holds a process, run gdb -p <pid> in another…from byteask.ai

Use Claude Code to Query 600 GB Indexes over Hacker News, ArXiv, etc.Dec 2025 · exopriors.com · ▲397Paste in my prompt to Claude Code with an embedded API key for accessing my public readonly SQL+vector database, and you have a state-of-the-art research tool over Hacker News, arXiv, LessWrong, and dozens of other high-quality public commons sites. Claude whips up the monster SQL queries that safely run on my machine, to answer your most nuanced questions. There's also an Alerts functionality, where you can just ask Claude to submit a SQL query as an alert, and you'll be emailed when the ultra nuanced criteria is met (and the output changes). Like I want to know when somebody posts about…

Talanoa▲343Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

OpenSEO▲928Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
