Kilroy – Knowledge base for teams using Claude Code

Hey HN — we’re a small team that uses Claude Code + Codex for basically everything in our company: coding, data analysis, marketing, ad campaigns, copywriting, design. There’s a truckload of tribal knowledge we’ve accumulated; major decisions, gotchas, user feedback driven changes. Providing this to our agents manually every time is very mundane. We built Kilroy to solve this in a simple way: we let our agents leave notes for each other. This allowed us to keep the form factor minimal: markdown posts with linear comments. Under the hood it’s Postgres + an auth (better-auth) + an MCP + a…

    Hello Hacker News. The four of us have been getting the best results with Claude Code when we iterate with it to build full context and then use and update that context as we work. So, we built Nimbalyst to maximize our (and your) ability to iterate and build context with and for AI. Nimbalyst is the local WYSIWYG editor and session manager where you iterate with Claude Code on docs, diagrams, mockups, and code. Nimbalyst lets you: - Use all the power of Claude Code in a UI - Work with Claude Code to write and edit WYSIWYG markdown, see AI changes as red/green, approve them - Integrate…

    Hey HN! I built Retain as the evolution of claude-reflect (github.com/BayramAnnakov/claude-reflect). The original problem: I use Claude Code/Codex daily for coding, plus claude.ai and ChatGPT occasionally. Every conversation contains decisions, corrections, and patterns I forget existed weeks later. I kept re-explaining the same preferences. claude-reflect was a CLI tool that extracted learnings from Claude Code sessions. Retain takes this further with a native macOS app that: - Aggregates conversations from Claude Code, claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Codex CLI - Instant full-text…

    How well do you use Claude Code?Jul 2026 · ▲21

    A bunch of companies that I spoke to had their own claude & codex OTel dashboards that showed spend + seats per month. However, none of the dashboards actually analyzed how the engineers worked with the tools and if there were any areas for improvement! That's why I created https://www.promptster.ai. Managers get aggregate level view of code quality and how that ties with team workflows (nothing on a per-engineer level). While engineers get personalized coaching on how they can save tokens while keeping output high. We also have a tool built for individuals to test their local…

    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…
