What it does
Zerostack is different from any other coding agent on the market for three reasons: - Efficient (16k LoC, ~20MB RAM, optimized tool calls for ~20% time reduction), perfect for low-end devices and integrated cloud platforms - Prompt library; alternative to Skills, the agent itself ships with a superpowers-equivalent prompt collection - Git worktrees: Deeply integrated, thanks to `--parallel` the agent can manage its own worktree and merge it before closing
Minimal AI coding agent for the terminal, written in Rust. Sandboxed execution, granular permissions, MCP support, session rewind; ready for your workflow Custom prompts can be created by placing markdown files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zerostack/prompts/ . Per-tool granular glob patterns, session allowlists, and doom-loop detection prevent runaway agents. The --dangerously-skip-permissions flag bypasses all checks. # Set your API key (OpenRouter is default) export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="[api_key]" # Interactive session (default prompt: code) zerostack # Monochrome TUI zerostack --no-color # One-shot mode zerostack -p "Explain this project" # Continue last session zerostack -c # Explicit…from gi-dellav.github.io

SupersetFeb 2026 · superset.sh · ▲541Hey HN, we’re Avi, Kiet, and Satya. We’re building Superset, an open-source terminal made for managing a bunch of coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc) in parallel. - Superset makes it easy to spin up git worktrees and automatically setup your environment - Agents and terminal tabs are isolated to worktrees, preventing conflicts - Built-in hooks [0] to notify when your coding agents are done/needs attention, - A diff viewer to review the changes and make PRs quickly We’re three engineers who’ve built and maintained large codebases, and kept wanting to work on as many features in…
BulletAug 2026 · codewithbullet.com · ▲240Hi HN, excited to be sharing this with you guys today. TL;DR: Bullet is a fast coding agent. At our company, we were burning hours waiting on agent runs. The models weren’t the problem. The agent loops around them were slow (unnecessary planning, oversized context, repeated searches, and serial tool calls). So we built Bullet as a passion project, the goal being to help you iterate faster, without giving up quality: - It automatically selects the model and reasoning level for each prompt. - It runs independent searches, reads, and commands in parallel. - It uses targeted code search instead…
SuperHQApr 2026 · superhq.ai · ▲95Hey HN, I built SuperHQ, an app that lets you run coding agents in local sandboxes (powered by Shuru). No custom UI wrapping the agents, they run as CLI/TUI like they were designed to. It just provides you the tools most of us (okay, maybe just me?) needed for running multiple coding agents in parallel without worrying about breaking your system or work environment. Each agent runs in its own microVM. You mount your projects in, writes go to a tmpfs overlay so your host is never touched, and you get a unified diff view to accept or discard changes. API keys never enter the sandbox, they…
AnyFrameMay 2026 · anyframe.dev · ▲96Spawn sandboxes at the speed of natural language. Pause, resume, and snapshot the full state of an agent’s workspace — filesystem, processes, memory — and pick up later without losing context.
Sandbox Agent SDK – unified API for automating coding agentsJan 2026 · github.com · ▲41We’ve been working with automating coding agents in sandboxes as of late. It’s bewildering how poorly standardized and difficult to use each agent varies between each other. We open-sourced the Sandbox Agent SDK based on tools we built internally to solve 3 problems: 1. Universal agent API: interact with any coding agent using the same API 2. Running agents inside the sandbox: Agent Sandbox provides a Rust binary that serves the universal agent API over HTTP, instead of having to futz with undocumented interfaces 3. Universal session schema: persisting sessions is always problematic, since…

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, 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!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
