What it does

MartinLoop is the control plane for autonomous AI coding agents. Today, it wraps Claude, Codex, OpenCode, and other agents with spend limits, proof checks, safety rules, rollback, and run receipts. The bigger build turns that into a full agent control plane: dashboards, HeadlessOS-style execution, team oversight, cost visibility, and a trusted record of what every agent did, why it kept going, and why it stopped. Unbounded AI agents are expensive. Fix that. Run it. Prove it. Stop it

Verify AI coding agent work before it ships. MartinLoop controls runs, checks completion against your definition of done, and returns a recoverable handoff.

MartinLoop turns Claude, Codex, Gemini, and other coding agents into accountable software workers right in your CLI or IDE — with budgets, verification, stop rules, and receipts for every run. Not another agent. Not another IDE. MartinLoop lives where the work is already done. Built after a $65 autonomous billing incident. Open source · Apache 2.0 licensed · martin-loop on npm · Keesan12/martin-loop on GitHub npm install -g martin-loop martin run "fix flaky CI" --budget 3 --verify "pnpm test" martin inspect AI agents are easy to run. Hard to govern. Agents read repos, edit files, run commands, retry tasks, and produce changes teams may merge. The new question is not whether AI can write…from martinloop.com

    Hey HN, I’m Yannis, co-founder of Preloop. We’ve built a proxy for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that lets you add human approval gates to your AI agents without changing your agent code. We’re building agents that use tools (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.), but we were terrified to give them write-access to sensitive systems (Stripe, Prod DBs, AWS). We didn't want to rewrite our agents to wrap every tool call in complex "ask_user" logic, especially since we use different agent runtimes. We built Preloop as a middleware layer. It acts as a standard MCP server proxy.You point your agent to…

    I made this for myself, and it seemed like it might be useful to others. I'd love some feedback, both on the threat model and the tool itself. I hope you find it useful! Backstory: I've been using many agents in parallel as I work on a somewhat ambitious financial analysis tool. I was juggling agents working on epics for the linear solver, the persistence layer, the front-end, and planning for the second-generation solver. I was losing my mind playing whack-a-mole with the permission prompts. YOLO mode felt so tempting. And yet. Then it occurred to me: what if YOLO mode isn't so bad?…

    Cronloop lets you automate your recurring work with unattended AI agents that run on a schedule. Just describe the job and connect the tools it needs. Every agent keeps a memory and self-improves between runs.

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
