Not an agent framework, but the platform around agents:policies memory workflows observability cost tracking RAG governanceAgents and policies are defined in YAML, so it's infrastructure-as-code rather than a chatbot builder.

Ask HN: How are you structuring Markdown-based context for AI coding agents?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47231386I’ve recently transitioned from using LLMs in-browser to a local agentic workflow in VS Code (Gemini Code Assist). I can approve/disapprove changes which is nice, but I’ve hit a wall regarding context management. Initially, I provided all the whole repo as context to the non-agentic version of Gemini code assist and it performed well.I read the agentic mode is "better" so to keep the agent aligned with my project's architecture, I’ve manually built 7 dense Markdown files that serve as the system instructions for the project. I require Gemini to update these files as we implement features.gemini.md (instructs gemini to read the other md files and handle updating) project_overview.md, architecture.md, features.md, database.md, api.md, security.mdEach file is between 500–1,500 words so I’m concerned if f this is the right way to go. There seems to be no consensus on context file best practices. I’m seeing strong arguments for both minimalist, lean instructions and dense, project-wide specMar 3, 2026 12:29 PM

Show HN: I built a zero-browser, pure-JS typesetting engine for bit-perfect PDFshttps://github.com/cosmiciron/vmprintHi HN, I'm a film director by trade, and I prefer writing my stories in plain text rather than using clunky screenplay software. Standard markup like Fountain doesn't work for me because I write in mixed languages, so I use Markdown with a custom syntax I invented to resemble standard screenplay structures.This workflow is great until I need to actually generate an industry-standard screenplay PDF. I got tired of manually copying and pasting my text back into the clunky software just to export it, so I decided to write a script to automate the process. That's when I hit a wall.I tried using React-pdf and other high-level libraries, but they failed me on two fronts: true multilingual text shaping, and complex contextual pagination. Specifically, the strict screenplay requirement to automatically inject (MORE) at the bottom of a page and (CONT'D) at the top of the next page when a character's dialogue is split across a page break.You can't really do that elegantly when the layout engine Mar 1, 2026 12:25 PM

Show HN: DevIndex – Ranking 50k GitHub developers using a static JSON filehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47193729Hey HN,I’ve always been frustrated by the lack of an accurate ranking for top open-source contributors on GitHub. The available lists either cap out early or are highly localized, completely missing developers with tens or hundreds of thousands of contributions.So, I built DevIndex to rank the top 50,000 most active developers globally based on their lifetime contributions.From an engineering perspective, the constraint I imposed was: *No backend API.* I wanted to host this entirely on GitHub Pages for free, meaning the browser had to handle all 50,000 data-rich records directly.Here is how we made it work:1. *The Autonomous Data Factory (Backend):* Because GitHub's API has no "Lifetime Contributions" endpoint, we built a Node.js pipeline running on GitHub Actions. It uses a "Network Walker" spider to traverse the social graph (to break out of algorithmic filter bubbles) and an Updater that chunks GraphQL queries to prevent 502 timeouts. The pipeline continuously updates a single `userFeb 28, 2026 11:13 AM

You can search in natural language ("articles about distributed systems tradeoffs") or with simple keywords.It's single-tenant by design: one password, no user accounts, no tracking.

Show HN: Context Harness – Local first context engine for AI toolshttps://github.com/parallax-labs/context-harnessContext Harness is a single Rust binary that gives AI tools like Cursor and Claude project-specific memory. It ingests docs, code, Jira tickets, Slack threads, and anything else into a local SQLite database, indexes them with FTS5 and optional vector embeddings, and exposes hybrid search via CLI and an MCP-compatible HTTP server.I built this because I kept hitting the same problem: AI tools are powerful but have no memory of my complex multi-repo project. They can't search our internal docs, past incidents, or architecture decisions. Cloud RAG services exist, but they're complex, expensive, and your data leaves your machine. I wanted something I could point at my sources and just run `ctx sync all`.Quick start: # Install (pre-built binaries available for macOS/Linux/Windows) cargo install --git https://github.com/parallax-labs/context-harness.git # Create config and initialize ctx init # Sync your data sources (filesystem, Git, S3, or Lua scripts) ctx sync all # Search from CLI ctx seaFeb 26, 2026 6:26 AM
