Herd

What it does

A lightweight desktop agent IDE for vibe coding at scale. Orchestrate dozens of AI coding agents from one desktop app, monitor every task in real time, and ship in parallel. No complex configuration or setup, just create or connect to a repo and get to work.

Herd is the agent IDE for vibe coding at scale. Orchestrate multiple AI coding agents from one desktop app, monitor tasks in real time, and ship in parallel.

A lightweight agent IDE for vibe coding at scale. Orchestrate dozens of AI coding agents from one desktop app, monitor every task in real time, and ship in parallel. No config to tune, no setup to fight. Claude Code, Codex, and all your agents run the way their creators built them. Launch them in parallel across files, projects, or test suites. They handle the messy parts too, like merges and cleanup. A unified dashboard shows every agent's progress — completions, errors, and status changes as they happen. Run refactors, tests, and feature builds in parallel. No more waiting for one agent to finish before starting the next prompt. Use Claude Code, Codex, and more to come. Preload…from joinherd.ai

  Vibe Kanban – Kanban board to manage your AI coding agents2025 · github.com · ▲195

  Hey HN! I'm Louis, one of the creators of Vibe Kanban. We started working on this a few weeks ago. Personally, I was feeling pretty useless working synchronously with coding agents. The 2-5 minutes that they take to complete their work often led me to distraction and doomscrolling. But there's plenty of productive work that we (human engineers) could be doing in that time, especially if we run coding agents in the background and parallelise them. Vibe Kanban lets you effortlessly spin up multiple coding agents. While some agents handle tasks in the background, you can focus on planning…

  Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

  I built a wizard to turn ideas into AI coding agent-ready specsNov 2025 · vibescaffold.dev · ▲71

  I created vibescaffold.dev. It is a wizard-style AI tool that will guide you from idea → vision → tech spec → implementation plan. It will generate all the documents necessary for AI coding agents to understand & iteratively execute on your vision. How it works: - Step 1: Define your product vision and MVP - Step 2: AI helps create technical architecture and data models - Step 3: Generate a staged development plan - Step 4: Create an AGENTS.md for automated workflows I've used AI coding tools for awhile. Before this workflow (and now, this tool), I kept getting "close but not quite" results…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  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…
