What it does
27 agent skills, each distilled from one concrete engineering failure — short, self-contained rule sets an AI coding agent (or a human) can apply without the original context.
Agent skills honed on real work. Each one is a short, self-contained rule set distilled from one concrete failure — written so an AI coding agent (or a human) can apply the lesson without the original context. Every skill names the sanitized case it was distilled from — a check that passed against a stand-in, a merge that dropped a field, a green test that could never fail. No hypotheticals. No project or company detail survives. The lesson is stripped to its mechanism so it transfers to your codebase, your stack, your next incident. Each ends in a pre-flight checklist that fails loudly when a box is unchecked — a gate on "done," not a suggestion you can wave through. Each links to its…from whetstone.akbarsha.dev

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
