JDS – a Copilot skill suite for structuring AI coding behavior

A few months ago I stumbled on obra's superpowers repository https://github.com/obra/superpowers. I really liked the approach and idea that you enforce discipline for your agent through a skill-based workflow. Even though coding agents (copilot included) have become a lot better at natively handling complex tasks, they still wander off and lose track of things. I really liked how superpowers fixed this and how it enabled long-running sessions without the agent losing its "focus". So I decided to build a Copilot tailored skill suite around the core idea of superpowers. I…

What it does

JDS skill suite for agentic coding tools targeted specifically for Copilot. - josipmusa/jds

A skill suite that makes your AI coding assistant follow a real software development process. JDS is a GitHub Copilot CLI plugin that enforces structured workflows — design before code, tests before implementation, evidence before completion claims. It turns your AI pair programmer from a code-spewing autocomplete into a disciplined software engineer that can work for hours on complex tasks without losing context or getting lost. AI coding assistants are powerful but undisciplined. Without structure, they: JDS fixes this by enforcing a skill-based workflow that gates every phase of development. Session start ↓ jds-bootstrap → Auto-injected via the SessionStart hook. Enforces the skill-check…from github.com

    Hey HN, we’re Avi, Kiet, and Satya. We’re building Superset, an open-source terminal made for managing a bunch of coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc) in parallel. - Superset makes it easy to spin up git worktrees and automatically setup your environment - Agents and terminal tabs are isolated to worktrees, preventing conflicts - Built-in hooks [0] to notify when your coding agents are done/needs attention, - A diff viewer to review the changes and make PRs quickly We’re three engineers who’ve built and maintained large codebases, and kept wanting to work on as many features in…

    Hi HN, We just opened public access to Qwen3‑Coder‑480B‑A35B‑Instruct via a REST/SDK API. Why it might be interesting: - Fully open-source (Apache‑2.0): https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen3-Coder - 480B params (35B active MoE), long context up to 1M tokens with YaRN - Matches Claude Sonnet/GPT‑4o on SWE-Bench Verified (81.6%) - Free tier: 100K tokens/month

    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…

  • 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…
