What it does
Your AI coding agent just shipped a fix that contradicts a decision your team made six months ago in Slack. Nobody noticed. Lock captures product decisions where they happen, in Slack and in the terminal, then flags when a new one contradicts an old one. The GitHub Action catches conflicts in PRs, including the ones your agent opens. Auto-classified, tracked through supersession, searchable by meaning. The decision layer for teams shipping with agents.
Lock captures product decisions where they happen — in Slack, in the terminal, in AI agent sessions. One command. Full traceability.

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

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…
