Show HN: Taurus Agents, my take on multi-agent hierarchieshttps://taurusagents.com/Hi HN! Serge here, solo founder. I built my own multi-agent orchestrator and it became so useful that for several months I've never had to touch codex or claude code anymore, just using Taurus now. The website explains what it is, but here I wanted to share how and why. If you think multi-agent orchestration is stupid, I'll try to convince you otherwise.(And if you'd rather watch a video than read the text, here's the walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa5CIxf5Rhk)Persistent identity: All my agents have names (Tessera = personal strategist, Alcyone = in charge of engineering at Taurus, and so on), roles, their own separate prompts, their own MEMORY.md, their own episodic memory (continuity logs they write for future selves) and so on. A lot of people still think it's silly vs talking to Claude or ChatGPT, but you'd be surprised how much everything changes once you seed a persona that cares about one specific mini-project or an aspect of it and takes care of it on every awakenAug 13, 2026 5:45 PM

Show HN: Remarc – comment on anything on your screen and send it to your agenthttps://remarc.app/Like any side project, Remarc had its innocent beginnings in my own problem — there was no good way to provide contextual feedback to AI agents on their own output.Social media may make building with AI seem like this: ask for the thing, blindly approve the plan, get the thing. Post “omg claude just one-shotted blah”. Profit.But if you’ve ever worked on a real product, you know nothing good is ever one-shotted. Every PRD, design, and build goes through dozens of feedback loops and iterations. That’s how you get from something that works to something actually good.There are a plethora of tools for collaborating with humans, but surprisingly little for collaborating with AI. Chat just wasn’t cutting it for the kind of contextual feedback I wanted to give my agents.This thing in the implementation plan? Change it to that. What did you mean here? See this button? Here’s a screenshot, I circled it — it’s missing a hover state. This sentence in the 3rd paragraph? Rephrase it.If you’re an opiAug 13, 2026 3:39 PM

Launch HN: Bullet (YC S26) – A Faster Coding Agenthttps://www.codewithbullet.comHi HN! We’re Adi and Alex, founders of Bullet, a faster coding agent.Bullet started in a senior year dorm. We were fresh out of working at AppLovin and Citadel, and naturally thought we were on a sure path to startup success. We were going to use our skills optimizing stock pricing calculation speeds and agent document context to take over the world. So, Bullet started as an AI hedge fund, a browser-use agent, synthetic financial data (oof), a mobile IDE, and a bunch of other things. We wanted to build something people wanted, but it seemed like everything we built was just terrible, useless, or both.So, we decided to do something completely different, something completely out of the blue, something that no one had ever done before. Solve a problem we actually had.Over the course of six pivots, we suffered. Throughout all of our adventures, one final boss kept getting in our way. Claude Code and his little brother Codex. We were spending hours waiting for coding agents like Claude CodeAug 13, 2026 8:14 AM

A ship fired a distress flare as fireworks. A ship went: This is our Christmashttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49282940I'm a navigation officer on commercial ships, seven years at sea. Two things here that might interest you.First, promotion in the merchant service runs almost entirely on competency. Self-marketing, like a perfect CV, barely helps. Competency, like taking action during man overboard, mattered far more.Second: on Christmas night, a ship fired a rocket parachute flare. Hundreds of ships saw it. That's a distress signal. Every vessel that sees one is obligated to report it. The radio played Christmas carols instead.—11pm. I was standing watch when I heard footsteps behind the curtains. A tall, broad-shouldered silhouette came out. Captain T. The sea was empty, and he had come up simply to look at it.He told me about a competition with his dear friend who, alongside him, took to the sea. Same age, but his friend was the academy's honor student, Captain T. second by 0.02 CGPA. Graduating, they each bet $10,000 on who would first reach Captaincy.His friend became an oil tanker Captain at 29,Aug 13, 2026 7:55 AM

Show HN: I built a life planner that has only "one page"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49282537I spent 5 years working a f*cking to-do app and being a loser. Here's what I learnt.Life planners don't work if they're too simple (e.g. Apple Notes for everything). They also don't work if they're too complicated (e.g. Notion templates).They must be adequate, such as having basic fucking hierarchy where you can have tasks and sub-tasks. They must also be centralized, because reminders don't fucking work if I can't see them because they're hidden in 5 different places.The resultant version is https://beta.actions.life. It's free forever for early beta users, and you can try it without going through some bullshit sign-up flow.I hope you can tell me what's good and what's shit about the app, so I can make it better for you. Thanks.Aug 13, 2026 6:53 AM

Ask HN: Why Connected Home Appliances?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49278761Asking for a magazine writer for a feature story about "IoT" connected home appliances. The primary question behind this feature is: “I have to now use an app to operate my washing machine. Why?!”The feature explores why this is happening, what technology is behind that, and how this trend (?) might evolve as consumers increasingly complain about app overwhelm.Any pointers to details on how these systems work would be welcome. If you have worked on any of the underlying software, the writer would love to interview you or communicate via email. They have given me some questions they are hoping to answer (see first comment below). Thanks!Aug 12, 2026 9:24 PM

Show HN: Argmin, challenges for optimizing hard problemshttps://argmin.devI want to share a project I've been working on called argmin.dev. It's a platform for hard optimization problems where a solution can be checked deterministically.For a bit of background, I've always found these types of problems interesting. The really difficult optimization problems where techniques like gradient decent don't work, or where even finding a feasible solution is difficult (e.g. square packing). I've worked on these independently for fun and have created this project as a way to share the problems I find interesting with the community. I am curious to see how far others can push these.Each challenge is defined by its verifier, a program that will enforce the constraints, and evaluate the objective function. The verifiers are open-source per challenge, so users can check their solutions against it before submitting. The platform keeps a record of submissions and will update the leaderboard each time someone finds a new record. Because the verifier is the spec, any loopholAug 11, 2026 4:51 PM

Show HN: Pickle – token efficient AI agent browser with policy-gated actionshttps://picklebrowser.com/I use agents for a lot of my own work, but whenever they access my browser they end up wasting a lot of tokens reading HTML, so I tried building a browser that simplifies webpage content for them.Pickle is an agent browser and it has all the features a regular browser has (tabs, search history, bookmarks, etc.), but pages load as compact structured data instead of raw HTML to reduce token usage.Overview for those curious:It's policy-gated (blocked domains, actions that need approval like purchases) and every action is logged, so you're always able to see what your agent is doing and can take over at any time.It's also compatible with weaker/local models as it auto-routes by model strength. i.e. small local models are limited to picking actions one step at a time so they don't hallucinate actions or make up element IDs. Stronger models can plan multiple steps ahead.On the token compression side, I've been seeing around 32x less token usage.Other useful features: - shared notebook that yAug 11, 2026 3:43 PM

Attackers kill 60 people in South Sudan cattle raid: local officialhttps://arab.news/r5ma9JUBA: Armed attackers have killed at least 60 people in central South Sudan, according to local officials and media, in the country’s latest deadly cattle raid. The young nation has long been plagued by violent cattle raids but is now also seeing clashes between troops loyal to President Salva Kiir and forces loosely allied with the opposition. Two simultaneous attacks in Tonj North County, Alabek Payam in Warrap State, at around 4:00 am Sunday morning, resulted in the death of at least 60 people including 15 attackers, according to a local official.Aug 11, 2026 2:51 PM

Show HN: Sentris – scans your Supabase repo for missing RLS and leaked keyshttps://www.sentris.dev/indexI built this after finding a service_role key in the client bundle of one of my own side projects. It had been live for weeks. That key bypasses RLS completely, so anyone who opened the site could have read every row of every table.Four checks: tables in public without RLS (or with using(true) policies), secrets in repo files and the live bundle, route handlers that take a caller-supplied id with no auth check, and storage buckets marked public. It reads migrations and route handlers in the repo, because a URL scanner can't see any of that.All four rules are written out in full on the page. I also publish precision/recall against my test corpus at /precision: 9 repos, 24 planted findings. Small corpus, and I built it myself, so take the numbers for what they are. There's a full unedited sample report at /sample.Scanning is free and needs no login. Happy to answer anything, especially about false positives.Aug 11, 2026 11:31 AM
