Show HN: Do-over, undo for AI agent shell commandshttps://github.com/CaydenChik/dooverHello HN,I built this after a coding agent deleted my files while tidying a project. Do-over plugs into Claude Code's hooks and snapshots what a command is about to touch right before it runs.I know what you're thinking. Why don't you just commit more often?This tool doesn't seek to replace git. What it does is: [1] Protect the stuff git doesn't protect: your untracked/ignored files and files that exist outside your repo (which is how a guy lost 50GB of data - Claude code issue tracker) [2] Protects you when git itself is weaponized by your agent: git checkout ., git clean -fd, and git reset --hard (a three year old Unity project was deleted this way - Claude Code issue tracker) [3] Protects you in the case when you're just forgetful and don't commitIt really is a simple safeguard to potential headaches. And it's a last mile effort that secures what current measures can't. That includes sandboxes, checkpoints, git.Aug 20, 2026 6:42 AM

Show HN: Criboku – a daily logic puzzle based on cribbagehttps://criboku.com/I'm a longtime member of the American Cribbage Congress, and its chief programmer. I wanted to develop a daily puzzle page for cribbage nuts like myself, and so Criboku was born.Criboku is a daily cribbage-based logic puzzle. You have to fill in a grid from a given pool of cards to make cribbage hands. Each hand's score must match the values around the grid. Some cards and scores are given, you have to work out the rest.There's a new puzzle every day, and they get harder through the week. There's a help page that includes a primer on cribbage scoring. If you get stuck, there's a Hint feature that walks you through the logic needed to place each card.My favorite parts are the bits nobody sees. My generation method guarantees each puzzle has a unique solution, and can be solved just by deduction, no guessing and backtracking. Also, the answer never gets to the browser, because it's not needed. Thanks to the uniqueness guarantee, we know the solution has been reached by just checking the Aug 20, 2026 2:22 AM
