What it does

Edgebase is a local, git-native context substrate for coding agents. It indexes a repository into a small SQLite graph, records provenance for every fact, and exposes one primary agent tool

Git-native, provenance-backed context capsules for coding agents. - ychampion/edgebase

Edgebase is a local, git-native work-contract runtime for coding agents. Install it once, and supported agents automatically record a source-backed Goal Capsule before work, check the active Work Contract before edits, refresh context after changes, and finish with a Patch Passport. Its flagship workflow is Goal Capsules + active Work Contracts + Patch Passports : short, executable briefs that tell Codex, Claude Code, Cursor-style agents, and human reviewers what to read, what not to touch yet, what tests matter, and what evidence the final patch mustfrom github.com

    Hi 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…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
