Show HN: My agents kept hallucinating APIs, so I built them a headless IDEhttps://context-engine.appI built Context Engine last year mostly out of frustration. Agents impressed me and made me angry at the same time: they kept calling APIs that don't exist, re-implementing APIs already defined in the codebase, and getting stuck in write-compile-rewrite loops. Sometimes they seemed very intelligent and sometimes extremely stupid. But they aren't stupid: take any brilliant engineer, give them a whiteboard, and ask them to implement a new feature in a large codebase they have never seen. And for agents, every session is a project they have never seen.The problem is that agents lack proper tooling. They work with plain text, like human engineers in 1995, in the pre-IDE era, and they face the same problems engineers faced 30 years ago. Where a human engineer just hovers over a symbol or presses F12, an agent spends thousands of tokens to get the same result. So I built the IDE part they were missing, without the editor part they don't need — an IDE headless in the same sense as a headless Aug 18, 2026 2:01 PM
