Stagent

What it does

Claude Code is great at starting long tasks — bad at finishing. It self-approves, patches symptoms, fakes TDD, stops at "code written." Stagent drives Claude Code through any state machine you define (e.g. plan → verify → review → ship). Different agents per stage - it can't self-approve or bail halfway. Describe your own workflow in plain English with /stagent:create, or fork one from the cookbook: stagent.worldstatelabs.com/cookbook Plus: live viewer, cross-machine resume.

A state machine for your Claude Code sessions. Stages that never drift. Runs that resume from any machine.

Describe it in natural language — Claude scaffolds workflow.json and the per-stage prompts. Push it to the hub under author/name, and anyone can pull it into Claude Code with a single flag. workflow.json is the single source of truth. The stop hook blocks session exit until the current stage’s artifact exists with a matching epoch and a valid result. On failure, the reviewer or QA stage loops back to executing — same contract, next epoch. { "initial_stage" : "planning" , "terminal_stages" : [ "complete" ], "stages" : { "planning" : { "interruptible" : true, "transitions" : { "approved" : "executing" } }, "executing" : { "execution" : { "type" : "subagent" , "model" : "opus" }, "transitions"…from stagent.worldstatelabs.com

  Playwright Skill for Claude Code – Less context than playwright-MCP2025 · github.com · ▲189

  I got tired of playwright-mcp eating through Claude's 200K token limit, so I built this using the new Claude Skills system. Built it with Claude Code itself. Instead of sending accessibility tree snapshots on every action, Claude just writes Playwright code and runs it. You get back screenshots and console output. That's it. 314 lines of instructions vs a persistent MCP server. Full API docs only load if Claude needs them. Same browser automation, way less overhead. Works as a Claude Code plugin or manual install. Token limit issue:…

  Continuous Claude – run Claude Code in a loopNov 2025 · github.com · ▲170

  Continuous Claude is a CLI wrapper I made that runs Claude Code in an iterative loop with persistent context, automatically driving a PR-based workflow. Each iteration creates a branch, applies a focused code change, generates a commit, opens a PR via GitHub's CLI, waits for required checks and reviews, merges if green, and records state into a shared notes file. This avoids the typical stateless one-shot pattern of current coding agents and enables multi-step changes without losing intermediate reasoning, test failures, or partial progress. The tool is useful for tasks that require many…

  Talanoa▲341

  Hi 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…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  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…
