What it does

AI coding tools write fast but never clean up. After a few sessions your project is full of dead functions, duplicated logic, and Phase 2 comments. Fossil scans your codebase and finds what's dead. Not grep — actual call graph analysis across 15 languages. It's also an MCP server. Connect it once and your AI agent can clean up after itself. Written in Rust. Single binary. Zero config. Open source.

Dig up dead code, unearth clones, expose scaffolding. Rust-powered static analysis for vibe-coded projects. 15 languages. MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, and more.

The code quality toolkit for the vibe coding era. Rust-powered static analysis that finds the mess vibe coding leaves behind — dead code, duplicated logic, scaffolding artifacts, and disconnected functions — across 15 languages. AI-assisted coding is fine — you review the code, you understand the architecture, you stay in control. Vibe coding is different. You describe what you want, the AI writes it, and you ship it without reading every line. Tools like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Windsurf make this workflow fast and productive. But over days and weeks, vibe-coded projects accumulate a specific class of problems that traditional linters don't catch: When the AI refactors a…from fossil-mcp.com

    Hi HN, We are the devs behind VibeShift. We have been building this MCP server to put AI coding assistants in an automatic feedback loop. They code, test, debug, fix everything until we have a fully working, secure code. It tests like a real user, copies network/console and logical errors to give them back to cursor. (1 min demo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN_RgQGa8B0) We felt this was the natural next step for AI coding assistants. And with new asynchronous assistants like codex, having a plug & play tester makes sure you don't have to spend time debugging and…

    tl;dr - try Basin AI with Cursor/Windsurf, instruction here (https://mcp.basin.ai), and use API key hackernews to gain access. Hey HN — I’m Henry, co-founder of Basin, and I wanted to share something we’ve been working on called Basin MCP, a kind of QA infrastructure for AI coding copilots like Cursor, Windsurf, etc. We built Basin because we kept noticing the same thing: agentic coding tools are great at generating code, but have no idea if the thing they built actually works — or even matches the original intent, and so they're prong to hallucinations. Basically, they have…

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
