Why codex /goal fails on complex workflows: compaction amnesia and context rotHi HN,When Openai released `/goal` earlier this month, I was really excited to try it for long-horizon tasks. But after using it, it didn't blow me away and i did some digging and found a major architectural flaw when using it for complex multi-issue workflows: context rot.This isn't anything new, but given how openai positioned this feature to developers, i was let down by how they'd implemented context management.Though /goal is a step forward in long-horizon coding, it lacks task decomposition and proper handling of context - it uses a multi-tier approach that includes persistent context chaining (PCC) to memory, local vector embeddings for RAG, sliding windows, and compaction.In principle, giving codex a directive of `/goal work towards closing my open issues on github` should work but this specific execution model hits a fatal wall - Even with massive context windows and RAG, llm reasoning quality degrades significantly beyond 100-150k~ tokens, the agent continues working with wor

Show HN: Hackobar – One feed for AI newsHey HN,Out of frustration of keeping up with AI news, I built hackobar. It fetches the AI related news from multiple sources such as HN, arxiv, github trending repos, huggingface, many ai subreddits, twitter handles that cover AI, Tech news outlets, major ai lab blogs and of course the numerous AI news letters that are growing by day.GitHub trending repos isn't "news" but as an engineer it matters. you can't read every arXiv paper or every HuggingFace drop. HN has the best discussions, Twitter has some, newsletters have some. I used to check 5 places and still felt behind.Building this was fun. I had to face many technical challenges, even though I have used Claude Code to help build I think the decisions I took to mitigate those challenges are interesting and wanted to share with this crowd.1 Fetching: I had to fetch different sources at different rate because fetching some on regular bases didn't make sense. for example, fetching AI labs blogs every few hours does not make sense but

Show HN: Bytery – a binary JSON protocol ~10x faster and ~10x smallerI created a JSON codec called Bytery, which is about 10x faster and 10x smaller for storage and transport.It is not just an implementation; it is a full protocol that can be implemented in any language.The major gains in performance and size come from highly compact binary data formats: packing numbers into fewer bytes, avoiding repeated strings and schemas, and applying other low-level optimizations.Here are just a few optimizations I implemented:Encoding integers: - JSON represents integers (and everything else) as textual tokens, depending on parsers, digit decoding such as char - 48, and delimiters. - Bytery represents integers as LUINT: a single byte, if value is up to 246. Values 247..254 indicate that the following additional 1..8 bytes should be used to build a big-endian integer, and 255 means null.Encoding strings: - JSON represents strings with delimiters, escapes, and a pair of quotes, and it costs CPU to scan until the closing quote while also handling escape sequences. -

Show HN: CurRant->Screw Google scourge, help people notice what is worth a lookI read the wonderful news that Search will get a rewamp: https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/search/s.... According to them: "The goal of Search has always been simple: to help you ask anything on your mind — from quick facts to the deep, complex or hyper-specific questions that can be hard to articulate." Hell, fucking no! The web was always about discovery. One is guided, the other is independent. One is careful, the other is reckless. One is calculated, the other is full of surprises. One is efficient... well the other... ehm. Disclaimer: It's NOT an anti-LLM post. I think it's a fascinating and useful technology and I lean on it. This site is 99% LLM generated. It's an Airbnb for websites where you're responsible for keeping their records up-to-date. It does a very lightweight scraping when you submit your site.

Ask HN: Has anyone solved Amazon's animated GIF captcha programmatically?Amazon's login flow sometimes serves an animated GIF captcha from opfcaptcha-prod.s3.amazonaws.com — 6 sliding characters, text scrolls horizontally across ~10-15 frames.Standard captcha services (2captcha imageCaptcha, etc.) aren't designed for animated GIFs. My current approach: extract the last frame, preprocess, send as a static image. Hit or miss.Questions: 1. Has anyone solved this reliably? What approach/service? 2. Is there an existing API that handles animated GIF captchas natively? 3. Would there be demand for a dedicated solver API specifically for this type?Running into this while building automation tools that interact with Amazon. Any pointers appreciated.

Instant YouTube channel analysis using public metricsHey HN!I’ve been spending a lot of time around creator communities recently, and one thing I kept noticing was how difficult it is for smaller YouTubers to understand their channel growth clearly. Most analytics tools are either overloaded with dashboards, require full account access, or are built mainly for large creators and agencies.So I built AAFY — a simple creator growth companion focused on clarity, privacy, and quick insights.The idea is straightforward: you enter any public YouTube handle (for example @MKBHD), and AAFY analyzes publicly available channel/video data to generate a clean visual review of the channel.The platform currently provides:channel performance summariesvisual growth chartsupload consistency trackingengagement trend analysistime-based performance comparisonsdownloadable PDF reports for review/sharingOne thing I cared about a lot while building this was privacy. AAFY does not require YouTube login or OAuth permissions because the analysis is based only on pu

Show HN: OpenRig – a control plane for multi-agent coding topologiesHi HN, I’m Mike, the founder of OpenRig.I built this because my Claude Code + Codex setup kept forming little "topologies" of long-lived agents that worked well together, but the terminal sprawl was intense. So I built a primitive the agents could intuitively reach for to save and recreate these setups on the fly. This then led to more agent-first primitives like coordination, declarative workflow patterns, workspaces, etc.Several months in and these "rigs" I manage with openrig require a lot less babysitting and I can manage more projects at once without getting overwhelmed.The short version: OpenRig is a way to save and operate that topology instead of rebuilding it by hand every time.Demo video: https://youtu.be/yCFSRnPDFqY?si=n5e627d0CU3X3bmEGitHub: https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig

Ask HN: Failing interviews for mid-level SWE in UK, advice pleaseI've a background mostly in ASP.NET full stack software development. I'm very hands on, like to tinker at different things and can learn fast.*Employment History*My employment history is like this: Placement year 2018, worked for the full term + summer, graduated 2020, did backend dev in Python at Company A for 7 months, then full stack ASP.NET at company B for 2.5 years, then co-founded my own company and was the sole developer on our software platform, did all the cloud infra in Azure too. That lasted for another 2.5 or so years. This gives me approx. 7 years of professional software development experience.In May 2025 the company wasn't in a strong financial position, and I started to hunt for jobs. We limped along while I polished it for a launch in September 2025. The site wasn't the success we were hoping. We closed it in February. Despite that, I did learn a lot and my web app development ability is much better as a result.*Job applications*Since May 2025, I've applied for almost

Launch HN: Runtime (YC P26) – Sandboxed coding agents for everyone on a teamHey HN, We're Gus and Carlos from Runtime (https://runtm.com). We're building infra that lets your whole team (including non-engineers) ship with Claude Code, Codex, and other agents without engineering having to handhold every session.After Mentum (YC S21) was acquired, I personally shipped 4 full-stack products in 3 months using coding agents. When I tried to roll the same workflow out to the rest of the team, it fell apart: Most PRs were unmergeable slop - Every repo required an engineer doing one-off local setup. - Skills and context lived in one person's head. - There was no safe way for a PM to touch a real codebase without risking a bad deploy or a secrets leak.Carlos comes from building agentic reconciliation systems at Modern Treasury and had a similar experience when letting his support team use devin.We ended up building internal background agent infra but it quickly became a nightmare to mantain and develop. We built Runtime so you don't have to do this kind of thing.Runtim

Ask HN: Does anyone believe role-play AI is effective for training?We built Socratize, an AI-based training tool where employees practice real workplace scenarios instead of watching videos or taking quizzes.Most corporate training is passive. People watch content, click through slides, pass a quiz, and forget most of it within days.We wanted to try a different approach: learning through dialogue and repetition.With Socratize, users enter realistic scenarios and have to respond to an AI “counterparty”.For example:A sales rep practices handling: “Your product is too expensive” A support agent practices de-escalating an angry customer An employee practices explaining a compliance rule in their own wordsThe AI responds like a realistic counterpart, challenges weak arguments, and continues the conversation until the user improves or fails the scenario.The goal is simple: replace passive training with active practice.We’re using Claude to generate responses and evaluate the quality of the user’s arguments based on context and reasoning. Each session is sto

Show HN: Twixt – transform one word into another in four movesI made this game while working on a different project about teaching English spelling. I was reading about homophones and got struck by how much a homophone can transform the shape of a word, so I started experimenting with little games built on that.I added a few more transforms, anagrams, verb/tense changes, but the answers kept coming out too obvious. I couldn't distort the word enough to make it interesting. The breakthrough was compound pairs. Jumping from one word to another through their compound (sea → horse, via seahorse) really obscures the path and that's when it suddenly got fun and unpredictable.I've been sharing it with friends. I'm in the UK so mostly UK testers, fair warning that a couple of the homophones may lean British.They've been playing daily and seem hooked, so it felt worth posting here. It's one puzzle a day mainly so I actually have time to hand pick puzzles that have a satisfying path. Today's puzzle is on the easy side but they can get really tricky. The na

Show HN: CipherStash Stack – Data Level Access Control in TS/JSHi HN, I'm Dan Draper, founder of CipherStash.We've spent 5 years building per-value searchable encryption tech. We realized that encryption like this is incredibly powerful but the engineering required is generally not worth the effort. So we built a platform and opensource SDK to take the cry out of cryptography :)CipherStash Stack is: * A searchable encryption SDK for TS and Postgres * Fast, key management with Zerokms (backed by HSM) * A transparent SQL proxy * Auth library and OIDC federation service * Skills for data securityIntegrations include Prisma Next, Drizzle, Auth0, Clerk and Supabase.Install and setup is done via a single npx stash init command. And can handoff implementation to your agent.You can start by encrypting just a single field and we've got the whole process down to around 15 minutes.Oh and its fast: most queries run in a few ms with many faster than that.We published our full benchmarks here: https://github.com/cipherstash/benches#headline-numbersI'd love to k

Show HN: Alint, a fast linter for repository structure and hygieneHi HN, I have been working on alint for the last little while. It is a linter for the shape of a repository rather than the code inside it. clippy, ruff, eslint, and others already handle the AST and code space. alint checks the other layer: required files, filename conventions, content patterns, structured values inside package.json / Cargo.toml / GitHub workflow YAML, and cross-file invariants. You write one .alint.yml describing what the repo should look like, and it runs in CI. Today it covers 70 rule kinds across 13 families, 19 bundled rulesets, 12 auto-fix ops, and 8 output formats including SARIF.To check the design against reality, I built (vibed) working configs for 30 real OSS repos. The corpus is deliberately varied: single-language workspaces and polyglot monorepos, from small clean trees up to roughly 150k-file mega-repos, with and without mature in-house tooling. Each one has a writeup of what alint catches that the repo's existing tooling does not, including the false-p

CloudNSite – AI agents that replace manual business processes for SMBsHey HN,I built CloudNSite, a consulting firm that deploys AI agents to automate repetitive business workflows across healthcare, legal, real estate, and a few other verticals.The problem I kept running into with clients was that most AI tooling assumes you have an engineering team. Small businesses don't. They have manual processes held together with spreadsheets and email.We built a library of 30+ pre-built agents and multi-agent bundles tuned to specific industry workflows. Clients pick what fits, we customize and deploy. For healthcare and legal clients with strict data requirements, we handle private LLM deployments on their own infrastructure with HIPAA-ready architecture.We also built a free AI Readiness Assessment that generates personalized use cases and rough ROI estimates without a sales call.Would love feedback from anyone who has worked in this space or has thoughts on the agent library approach.
