Developer Tools AI Tools

Humbug is an open-source, GUI-based agentic development platform for human-AI collaboration. The page says it supports multi-model workflows, local and cloud LLMs, tool use, approvals for risky actions, and local-first data handling.

A side-pane companion for Claude Code that shows daily AI news and spaced-repetition concepts while the agent is working, then hides when it needs user attention.

Hawkeye is a developer tool for fast local code search and navigation across large codebases, with editing, focused replace, tabs, shortcuts, and Perforce support.

A live demo that shows an AI agent using KINETK’s API/MCP workflow to analyze live social signals and generate an evidence-backed launch and growth plan for a product prompt.

Open-source email firewall that classifies inbound mail into SILENT, QUEUE, PUSH, or AUTO using a deterministic policy around LLM-scored signals.

Attestor is a TypeScript control plane for high-risk AI-driven operations. It sits between an AI-generated request and the real system action, applying policy, approval, scope, freshness, replay, and evidence checks before returning admit, narrow, review, or block.

A curated learning roadmap for building production AI agents, covering OpenAI, Anthropic, MCP, harnesses, evals, memory, and safety. The README organizes the material into phases with exercises and a prioritized reading table.

A custom Claude Code status line script that shows workspace, model, session, context usage, token totals, code churn, and 5-hour/7-day rate-limit runway in two colored rows.

A macOS utility that keeps a MacBook awake while AI agents are running, then lets normal sleep resume when they go idle. It includes install scripts, hooks for Claude Code and Codex, and a menu bar status indicator.

A TypeScript zot extension that adds an /answer slash command for responding to numbered questions from the latest assistant message in an interactive panel.

Agent skills for VillageSQL that help AI coding tools build a VillageSQL extension, including a 7-phase workflow for the vsql-extension-builder skill and install support for Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Cursor, Amp, and Kiro.

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 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.
