Zora

In February, Summer Yue, Meta's director of AI alignment, posted about her OpenClaw agent deleting 200+ emails after she'd told it to wait for approval. She screamed "STOP OPENCLAW" at it. It kept going. The root cause: her constraint lived in the conversation. When the context compacted, it disappeared. The AI hadn't gone rogue; it had genuinely forgotten. Zora's safety architecture is designed so that it can't happen. A few things that are different: Compaction-proof rules. Policy lives in ~/.zora/policy.toml, loaded before every action, not in context. The LLM and the…

What it does

Zora is a TypeScript AI agent that starts with zero permissions and unlocks only what you allow. Policy loads from disk before every action — not from conversation context where it can disappear. Three memory tiers. Runs free on Ollama or your existing Claude/Gemini account.

Zora — a long‑running local AI agent with provider registry and secure tool access. - ryaker/zora

    We built an open-source proxy that sits between coding agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc.) and the LLM, compressing tool outputs before they enter the context window. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vFZ6MPrwjw#t=9s. Motivation: Agents are terrible at managing context. A single file read or grep can dump thousands of tokens into the window, most of it noise. This isn't just expensive — it actively degrades quality. Long-context benchmarks consistently show steep accuracy drops as context grows (OpenAI's GPT-5.4 eval goes from 97.2% at 32k to 36.6% at 1M…

    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…
