What it does

A desktop interface for the coding-agent CLIs you already use — Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, Kimi, and a hosted Shiori provider. Run long-running sessions with project-aware threads, stream agent activity into a readable timeline, and review generated diffs without leaving the app. Source-available, built for work that doesn't fit in one prompt.

Download ShioriCode for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Run Codex, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Kimi, and Shiori side by side in one checkpointed desktop workspace.

One desktop app. Every model. Codex, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Kimi, and Shiori - running side by side in a single, checkpointed workspace. Available to active paid Shiori subscribers. Say what to build or fix. The agent reads your repo, plans, and begins work. Every file edit, shell command, and reasoning step streams to your screen. Inspect per-turn diffs, approve, rewind to any checkpoint, thenfrom shiori.ai

    As I started to use Claude Code to do more random tasks I realized I could basically build any CLI tool and it would use it. So I built one that controls the browser and open-sourced it. It should work with Codex or any other CLI-based agent! I have a long term idea where the models are all local and then the tool is privacy preserving because it's easy to remove PII from text, but I'd definitely not recommend using this for anything important just yet. You'll need a Gemini key until I (or someone else) figure out how to distill a local version out of that part of the pipeline. Github link:…

    Hello all, I'm a software developer. Over the last few months more and more of my work has turned into using coding agents instead of typing the whole code myself. Usually a few claude sessions at once, sometimes codex, one per feature or per revealed bug. I ran them in a split terminal for a few weeks, and quickly spotted two main problems. The first is that I couldn't easily tell which agent was stuck waiting on me and which was still working, so I'd cycle through sessions and checking on them. The second one: agents sharing a single branch step on each other. Two of them could be editing…

    Hey HN, Today we're launching Code, a community-driven, open-source coding agent for your terminal. It's a fork of OpenAI's codex with a focus on developer ergonomics and local control. Key features: - Browser integration – attach to your Chrome via CDP or use a built-in headless browser. You can browse pages, run the CLI in a browser session, and even take screenshots from the terminal. - Multi-agent commands – /plan, /solve and /code orchestrate multiple models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) to propose and implement solutions, with consensus or race options. - Diff viewer – see…

  • 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…
