Show HN: Voro – An attention manager for agentic codinghttps://github.com/ClachDev/VoroA few months ago I was getting frustrated trying to use Claude Code effectively. I was finding that for small tasks I would spend a lot of time waiting for it to finish "thinking" and I would end up browsing here...To make a better use of my time, and ideally make better use of the limits, I developed Voro to help me know what I should be focusing on.Fundamentally it's a task tracker tailored for local agentic coding. Each task is a plan that gets a priority and works its way through a set of states that are either for "humans" or "agents". The main "cockpit" view lists a few different options of what I should be looking at. The bottom has a list of what your agents are working on.Agents are given a small description and generate a task. That can then be reviewed and accepted if it's good, or iterated on by refining. Once accepted it can be dispatched to an agent for implementation. Once finished it comes back for review which can again then be iterated on. The crucial thing is that maAug 21, 2026 10:07 AM

Show HN: Huzzah – a novel approach to coding with AIhttps://www.danielvaughn.dev/posts/huzzah/Hello everyone. I've been working on this experimental editor called Huzzah.I've been working almost exclusively with coding agents since January of this year, and over the past few months I began to feel utterly exhausted by them. They're great, but I'm finding it more and more tedious to write full sentences for every change I want. Not only that, but it seems there's a complexity limit for codebases - beyond a certain point the agent begins confusing itself.I'd like to go back to writing code, but I don't want to go all the way back to fully manual coding. So I've come up with this interaction paradigm where you: 1. write pseudocode in whatever way makes the most sense to you 2. on save, the editor synchronizes your work to real source code 3. the pseudocode is persisted alongside the generated code, making your prompt effectively a stored record of intent. It may not work for every use case, but in my initial playthroughs I've found it very enjoyable.Right now it's just a proof of Aug 20, 2026 7:05 PM

Ask HN: How do you review and validate LLM generated code?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49378314It's become very fast to generate code nowadays, but how do you review and test all of it?Every time you ask a model to review some piece of code, it comes back with different "findings". So, you still have to filter through the noise of their findings to get to actual defects.And if you try to do the full review manually, then it might take more time to just understand the code than writing it yourself from the beginning.As for testing, you can ask the LLM to write the tests, but you can't be sure if the tests actually assert the expected product flow or just write pass/fail tests for a piece of logic.I would like to know if you have any workflows, strategies, or tricks.Aug 20, 2026 6:26 PM
