developer tools

A self-hosted Git LFS server for BYOF setups, with support for GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, and S3-compatible storage backends like Cloudflare R2, DigitalOcean Spaces, and Backblaze B2.

Flue is an open-source Python tool that lets coding agents control desktop software from the command line without MCP servers. The README says it works with apps like Photoshop, Blender, Unity, Houdini, and Microsoft Office, and supports harnesses such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and OpenCode.

A Claude Code plugin that learns from user corrections and successful runs, then turns them into reusable rules and playbooks stored locally.

A ~1000-line C workflow runtime where an LLM can modify a DAG during execution using a restricted four-verb grammar, with every change written to an append-only audit log for replay and inspection.

A self-hosted TypeScript harness for building provider-neutral LLM agent systems inside an application or platform, with typed agent and workflow runtime, tool support, state, tracing, and example workspaces.

A local-first, file-based context and memory system for AI coding assistants. It’s designed to persist decisions, tasks, and learnings across sessions so tools can rehydrate project context instead of starting from scratch.

Ragnerock is a research intelligence platform that turns raw sources into queryable, structured data. It supports extraction, analysis, and research workflows across SQL, Excel, PDF, HTML, images, and other sources, with audit trails and deployment into existing infrastructure.

Lightport is a lightweight AI gateway that makes LLM providers OpenAI-compatible. The repo shows supported endpoints, a long provider list, quickstart commands, request examples, and active maintenance signals.

A persistent memory layer for AI agents, built as a standard MCP server with local setup, dashboard, and benchmark claims against other memory tools.

A tiny macOS menu bar utility that keeps your Mac awake for long-running agent work, builds, downloads, and other tasks, even with the lid closed.

AgentRQ is a human-in-the-loop task management platform for AI agents, with MCP-based integrations, real-time notifications, and a Vue/Go stack for collaborative workspace workflows.

Local open-source coding agent for developers, with a macro-style command workflow and benchmark results showing fewer turns and better pass rates than Codex CLI in the published comparison.

Persistent memory for coding agents that stores hard-won codebase discoveries and revalidates them when files change. The repo describes a CLI hook flow for Claude Code and Codex, with install steps, command examples, and an evaluation claim showing fewer tokens on repeat questions.

A harness that runs MCP servers in a disposable Linux sandbox and logs their real startup behavior, including file access and outbound network connections.

A Claude Code plugin and MCP server that keeps a persistent, read-only memory of a repo so agents can ask broad codebase questions without re-reading files every session.

GetSuperpower is a CLI and workflow bundle for coding agents that packages multi-step agent workflows into one installable skill tree.

Local-first code intelligence MCP for AI coding agents. It gives tools like Claude, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible agents an indexed evidence layer for repo search, symbol lookup, impact analysis, and test selection before editing code.

A local MCP server that builds a deterministic architecture graph of a codebase so AI coding agents can inspect modules, symbols, routes, dependencies, and cross-repo relationships from source-backed facts.

A Claude Code plugin that fills agent wait time with rotating dev news in the status line, with HN, GitHub Trending, per-language sources, auto-translation, and short summaries.

Google’s announcement for a built-in computer use tool in Gemini 3.5 Flash. The page explains that developers can use it to build agents that interact across browser, mobile, and desktop environments, with safety features and access through the Gemini API and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.

A tool that checks how an AI agent reads a startup website, highlighting what it understands in the first seconds and where it gets lost.

OpenBot is a local-first harness for running AI agents. It includes a small event API, local file storage, a built-in orchestrator agent, a deterministic state agent, and support for custom agents and plugins loaded from disk.

Open-source CLI and plugin that lets Claude Code run workflows, teams, and subagents on third-party models like DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, Qwen, or Codex-compatible providers.

Dino is a VS Code AI coding agent designed for affordable coding plans, with staged diff-based edits, local conversation storage, and support for multiple model providers.
