A research preprint describing ADHD, a parallel divergent ideation method for LLM coding agents that isolates branches, uses cognitive frames, and then prunes with a separate critic pass.

A Claude Code plugin that plays background lounge or elevator music while the agent is thinking, with track rotation, stop/start controls, and status-line integration.

A blog post from Augment Code comparing its coding agent, Auggie, against Claude Code on Opus 4.7. It presents benchmark results, token usage, cost comparisons, and an explanation of the Context Engine and Prism router.

A drop-in memory plugin for Hermes Agent that uses a pull-model episodic memory approach with real deletes and audit traces. It supports synchronous writes, trace logging, and Claude-backed summarization for on-demand recall.

A public visualization that tracks flagship AI models’ Elo history over time using the Arena AI Leaderboard dataset, with notes on caveats and methodology.

A macOS menu bar app that keeps a MacBook awake with the lid closed while the display sleeps normally, so long-running coding agents can continue running.

A GitHub repo for evaluating agentic AI pipeline systems, with guidance for defining metrics, building eval cases, running repeatable tests, and tracking regressions.

An AI tools directory with hand-reviewed comparisons, popular tool rankings, and a set of free developer utilities plus SEO tools.

A browser-based showcase of nine classic demoscene effects implemented across thirteen languages, with pixel-identical output and side-by-side code comparison. It presents the code next to the rendered effect and highlights optimization steps, framed as a project built by an organization of AI agents.

An explainer of Cisco’s open-source Project Quarry, a rule language and plugin setup for scanning agent conversations for risky behavior. It describes the rule engine, the Claude Code/Codex plugin, data flow, and what the tool does not monitor.

A GitHub engineering article describing how the Copilot team ported a large production runtime to Rust with Copilot’s help, including the migration strategy, interop, caching, static analysis, and model selection.

A project writeup about turning a 1999 Big Mouth Billy Bass into an offline LLM-powered jokester using an ESP32, local LAN compute, and custom hardware/software design.

A community site for sharing and comparing AI work setups, with example profiles showing how builders use tools like Claude Code, subagents, model routing, and guardrails.

A cached JSON API and Firefox extension that exposes Pangram AI-detection scores for Hacker News front-page posts.

A detailed write-up of a self-hosted setup for running coding agents on a low-cost Linux VPS, using Tailscale, mosh, tmux, and MCP-based tools to keep sessions alive across laptop and phone.

A browser-based fake video meeting with AI-generated coworkers, voice triggers, and draggable participant tiles. The page shows meeting controls, camera-off avatar options, and a visible meeting room ready to join.

PicoMQ is a developer tool for durable real-time streams over HTTP, backed by S3-compatible object storage. The page highlights unlimited streams, a zero-disk architecture, and high-throughput deployment goals.

A pure Rust code-assist engine focused on AST safety checks, multi-agent symbol coordination, taint tracking, incremental parsing, and MCP integration. The repository page includes an overview, performance claims, architecture notes, and configuration references.

Real-time signal engine and MCP server for AI agents, quantitative workflows, and climate risk pipelines. The page highlights native MCP tools, live data ingestion, and a structured wire format aimed at reducing token usage.

Tilde is a harness SDK for building cloud-deployed AI agents, with a blog walkthrough showing how to build a self-hosted code review agent for GitHub PRs. The page highlights tools, chat integrations, and memory components, and points to a deployable example repository.

A self-hostable Slack-first agent harness that turns plain-English requests into specs, code changes, adversarial review, and pull requests, with local Docker and Fly deployment paths.

A governed MCP server for exposing existing APIs to AI agents with scoped access, verified identity, and per-call audit traces.

Claude plugin that routes each turn to the right reasoning effort level and logs token usage for review.

Open-source codebase for building, deploying, and scaling AI agents across L1–L5 levels. The README shows a quick start, SDK installation, local dev setup, and a developer UI for running agents.
