Show HN: A registry for curated, high quality Claude skills and skillsetshttps://noriskillsets.dev/Hi Hacker News!I’m Ritam, working with the small but mighty team at Nori. We’ve been obsessed in recent months with how to take tools like Claude Code from “I’ll experiment around with this” to “This is the most useful and necessary thing I use every day”. When I first sat down with our team to check out what they’d built, I found my skepticism about agentic coding melting away—they’d built useful, high quality, handwritten skills, instructions that functioned as “skillsets” to tie skills together for consistent and replicable results, and tooling to manage loading the right context for the right task into the agent.In recent weeks, the conversation around skills has reached a fever pitch, as have lists and sites full of skills scraped from all over the internet. Much like the actual gold rush, the current state of those collections requires a lot of time and sifting to find small, real chunks of 24k skills hidden amongst the muck (or to use a more relevant word, slop). So at Nori, we

Show HN: I built a GPT that breaks logic into jokeshttps://humoropedia.com/I always loved comedy and humor in all their manifestations. I always loved comedy movies and standup routines. I also truly believed - and still believe - that laughter is an excellent medicine, not the best medicine though.That love for humor led me to the creation of Humoropedia.com. At its height of popularity, it was receiving about 200 thousand visitors a month, mostly from Google Search.Now that we have entered an age of AI - for better or worse, who knows - I decided that Humoropedia.com should become AI-enabled because these days you can be either AI-disabled or AI-enabled. So I chose to make Humoropedia.com AI-enabled, or at least as AI-enabled as a GPT Builder would allow me.That's how Humoropedia GPT was born. But how does it work and what does it do?Well, why don't we allow Humoropedia GPT to answer the following question: how do you work and what do you do?

Show HN: Txt2plotter – True centerline vectors from Flux.2 for pen plottershttps://github.com/malvarezcastillo/txt2plotterI’ve been working on a project to bridge the gap between AI generation and my AxiDraw, and I think I finally have a workflow that avoids the usual headaches.If you’ve tried plotting AI-generated images, you probably know the struggle: generic tracing tools (like Potrace) trace the outline of a line, resulting in double-strokes that ruin the look and take twice as long to plot.What I tried previously:- Potrace / Inkscape Trace: Great for filled shapes, but results in "hollow" lines for line art.- Canny Edge Detection: Often too messy; it picks up noise and creates jittery paths.- Standard SDXL: Struggled with geometric coherence, often breaking lines or hallucinating perspective.- A bunch of projects that claimed to be txt2svg but which produced extremely poor results, at least for pen plotting.

Not pity likes and performances and highlight reels.All my friends have stopped posting. Everyone's a lurker now. I'm a lurker. The only time I see what anyone's doing is when it's a humblebrag. I have no idea what's actually going on in my friends' lives besides the ones I see every week or so.So I built touch grass. You post once a week: 3 easy questions, max 3 photos. Sunday 6pm mountain time (yeah its my time zone) everyone's posts unlock at the same time. You catch up on what your people have been doing, then close the app. No likes, no comments, no algorithm, no advertisers, no bullshit, besides that one friend maybe.It's not about content. It's about keeping the connection warm. I see my friend went to the Cowboys game (Texans represent), I text him and ask how it was. That's it. That's the whole point. A reason to actually reach out.I've weirdly learned more about my parents in the last 5 weeks than the las

Show HN: Transform any photo into paper animations in secondshttps://paper-animator.net/Paper Animator: turn any photo into a paper cut-out animation in seconds## What Paper Animator isPaper Animator is a browser-based tool that transforms any image or text into animated paper cut-outs, folds, tears, and “ransom note” style graphics, with no install or plugins required. It targets short-form video creators, marketers, and designers who want a distinctive paper/stop-motion look without learning motion graphics software.[1]## Why build this- Most “paper” or stop-motion looks today require After Effects, templates, or manual masking, which is overkill for TikTok/Reels/Shorts creators who just want a quick effect.[1] - Existing mobile/video apps rarely combine AI background removal, realistic paper textures, and export-ready formats (green screen, transparent PNG sequences) in one place. - The goal is a “Canva for paper animation”: upload → tweak → export in under a minute.## How it works- Upload a photo (JPG/PNG/WebP up to 10MB); the AI removes the background and extracts th

Show HN: Detail, a Bug Finderhttps://detail.dev/Hi HN, tl;dr we built a bug finder that's working really well, especially for app backends. Try it out and send us your thoughts!Long story below.--------------------------We originally set out to work on technical debt. We had all seen codebases with a lot of debt, so we had personal grudges about the problem, and AI seemed to be making it a lot worse.Tech debt also seemed like a great problem for AI because: 1) a small portion of the work is thinky and strategic, and then the bulk of the execution is pretty mechanical, and 2) when you're solving technical debt, you're usually trying to preserve existing behavior, just change the implementation. That means you can treat it as a closed-loop problem if you figure out good ways to detect unintended behavior changes due to a code change. And we know how to do that – that's what tests are for!So we started with writing tests. Tests create the guardrails that make future code changes safer. Our thinking was: if we can test well enough, we c

LokiVector: An Embedded Document Vector DB Crash-Tested Durabilityhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46178312Hey HN/Reddit/dev community,I'm excited to open-source *LokiVector* - an embedded document database with vector search capabilities, built for modern AI applications.### What Makes It DifferentMost vector databases are either: - Cloud-only services (expensive, vendor lock-in) - Complex to deploy (require Kubernetes, lots of moving parts) - Missing durability guarantees (what happens if it crashes?)LokiVector solves this by being: - *Embeddable* - Runs in Node.js or browser, no external services - *Crash-Safe* - Validated with automated E2E crash recovery tests - *Simple* - JSON documents + vector search, no schema migrations - *Fast* - In-memory performance with disk persistence### The Durability StoryThis is what I'm most proud of. We test crash recovery across: - Documents and collections - Vector indexes (HNSW) - Partial writes and idempotencyAll validated with 7 comprehensive E2E test scenarios. You can literally kill the process mid-write and it recovers correctly.*Note:* Replicat

Show HN: Systemdesigner.net – a free interactive system-design learning platformhttps://www.systemdesigner.net/Hi HN,I built systemdesigner.net, a free platform for learning and practicing system design, ML systems, and GenAI architectures.I originally built it for myself while preparing for system design and ML/AI interviews. I realized my workflow was a mess: reading a blog here, watching a video there, taking notes in Google Docs, and drawing diagrams in entirely different tools. When mentoring engineers I saw the same problem. I wanted a single platform where the material, the practice problems, and the diagramming were part of one continuous loop rather than scattered across the internet.Here’s what it does today:- Guided learning plans you can generate based on what you want to study (distributed systems, ML, LLMs, etc). - Every page has built-in quizzes so you can check understanding immediately. - In-page tools: highlight text, take notes, ask questions, get explanations, or have AI discussions on any concept. - Interactive whiteboards for designing architectures and practicing intervie

A three-layer memory architecture for long-running agentshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46097759Anthropic's recent piece on effective harnesses for long-running agents hit close to home. We've been wrestling with the same problems — agents that try to one-shot everything, declare victory prematurely, and leave chaos for the next session to clean up. But we solved some of these problems differently. Here's what's working for us, what isn't yet, and where we respectfully disagree with the proposed solutions.The Memory Problem: Three Layers Beat One Anthropic's solution is a progress.txt file plus git history. It works, but it's flat. We use three layers instead: Layer 1: Model actualization. A semantic memory system that helps the orchestrating agent understand "what are we building and why." This is the soft layer. Layer 2: Think Jira meets Git, but for AI agents. Structured storage of tasks with metadata: blockers, decision paths, dependencies, progress state. The agent doesn't just know what to do next — it understands the logic of how we got here and where we're going. Layer 3:
