RunVouch
The watchdog for unattended AI agents
What it does
Proof your scheduled AI agents did the job — and an alert the moment they don't, or start spending. RunVouch is the watchdog for agents that run while you sleep: Claude Code Routines, headless claude -p, OpenClaw, n8n, cron. Under the hood: dead man's switch, cost cap, outcome check. Eight detectors: MISSED, FAILED, NO_EVIDENCE (green ≠ done), RETRY_STORM, BUDGET, DRIFT, STALLED. Two lines around any job, Claude Code plugin, Python/Node clients, MCP server. Fails open. Free for 3 agents, MIT.
Proof your scheduled AI agents did the job, and an alert the moment they don
A green run means the scheduler worked, not that the task got done. RunVouch watches agents that run while you sleep and tells you when a run is missed, fails quietly, loops, or blows its budget. Works with Claude Code Routines, headless claude -p , OpenClaw, n8n and cron. When it went right, you get a record you can verify without us. A Max subscriber scheduled overnight Claude Code runs. Nobody noticed until the bill. A per-run cost cap stops this at $2. An agent got stuck on a missing file. Every single call looked normal in the logs; the pattern only exists across calls. That's a retry storm, RunVouch counts them and alerts at 8. The routine "succeeded". The report it was supposed to…from runvouch.com

- RTReal-time dashboard for Claude Code agent teamsApr 2026 · github.com · ▲77
This project (Agents Observe) started as an exploration into building automation harnesses around claude code. I needed a way to see exactly what teams of agents were doing in realtime and to filter and search their output. A few interesting learnings from building and using this: - Claude code hooks are blocking - performance degrades rapidly if you have a lot of plugins that use hooks - Hooks provide a lot more useful info than OTEL data - Claude's jsonl files provide the full picture - Lifecycle management of MCP processes started by plugins is a bit kludgy at best The biggest takeaway is…
- LELogira – eBPF runtime auditing for AI agent runsMar 2026 · github.com · ▲26
I started using Claude Code (claude --dangerously-skip-permissions) and Codex (codex --yolo) and realized I had no reliable way to know what they actually did. The agent's own output tells you a story, but it's the agent's story. logira records exec, file, and network events at the OS level via eBPF, scoped per run. Events are saved locally in JSONL and SQLite. It ships with default detection rules for credential access, persistence changes, suspicious exec patterns, and more. Observe-only – it never blocks. https://github.com/melonattacker/logira

1. Headless mode Headless mode allows you to use the AI as a command-line utility for automation and scripting. In Claude Code you run it with the -p flag: claude -p, in codex - exec, opencode - run. 2. Ask human The traditional communication channel with the operator won't work in headless mode - we need to implement a dedicated tool. Here is an example of how this can be done https://github.com/sermakarevich/claude/tree/main/mcp/ask_hu... 3. Tasks queue Beads is a lightweight distributed graph issue tracker for AI agents, powered by Dolt. You can…

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…

I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up. One…
