LineBreak Gate

The CI gate that says no to unapproved AI code

What it does

AI writes your code now. linebreak-gate is a free, git-only CI gate that blocks PRs carrying known CVEs (fail-closed) and serves human-APPROVED acceptance criteria to Claude Code/Cursor/Codex over MCP, read-only to the agent. No server, no account. The paid tier signs every approval (Ed25519, tamper-evident) so "who approved this merge?" always has an answer an auditor accepts.

Four moments, one command each. You are not configuring a tool; you are watching who controls what: your AI reads the contract, and only humans change it. Everything below is free.

    Hydra – Never stop coding when your AI CLI hits a rate limitApr 2026 · github.com · ▲9

    I built Hydra because I kept losing my flow when Claude Code hit usage limits mid-task. I would copy context, open another tool, and then re-explain everything. This would be super annoying for me. Hydra wraps your AI coding CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi, or any terminal-based tool) in a single command. It monitors terminal output for rate limit patterns, and when one provider runs out, you switch to another with one keypress. Your conversation history, git diff, and recent commits are automatically copied to your clipboard so you can paste and keep going. The fallback chain is…

    Legit, Open source Git-based Version control for AI agentsJan 2026 · ▲9

    Hi HN, Martin, Nils, and Jannes here. We are building Legit, an open source version control and collaboration layer for AI agents and AI native applications. You can find the repo here https://github.com/Legit-Control/monorepo and the website here https://legitcontrol.com Over the last years, we worked on multiple developer tools and AI driven products. As soon as we started letting agents modify real files and business critical data, one problem kept showing up. We could not reliably answer what changed, why it changed, or how to safely undo it. Today, most AI…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
