Show HN: A registry for curated, high quality Claude skills and skillsetsHi 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: BrowserOS -- browser agents with GPT-OSS, local llmsHi HN – we're the founders of BrowserOS.com (YC S24), and we're building an open-source agentic web browser. We're a fork of Chromium and our goal is to let non-developers create and run useful agents locally on their browser.--- When we launched a month ago, we thought we had the right approach: a "one-shot" agent where you give it a high-level task like "order toothpaste from Amazon," and it would figure out the plan and execute it.But we quickly ran into a problem that we've been struggling with ever since: the user experience was completely hit-or-miss. Sometimes agent worked like magic, but other times the agent would get stuck, generate a wrong plan, or just wander off course. It wasn't reliable enough for anyone to trust it.This forced us to go back to the drawing board and question the UX. We spent the last few weeks experimenting with three different ways a user could build an agent:A) Drag-and-drop workflows: Similar to tools like n8n. This approach creates very reliable agen

Show HN: SGR – A Linear-Complexity "Living Cell" Outperforming TransformersI am developing an architecture called Sparse Gated Resonance (SGR). It is a sequence modeling approach designed to avoid the quadratic scaling of traditional Self-Attention. I have been benchmarking a 722k-parameter SGR against a 921k-parameter Transformer on Victor Hugo’s "Notre-Dame de Paris" (English).The SGR replaces the attention mechanism with a "Causal Pulse." It uses gated 1D convolutions to generate a navigation vector that resonates against a brain-map of character embeddings. This allows the model to maintain a "Living Cell" state that updates with linear complexity.Full source and implementation: https://github.com/MrPan2048/GeometricTransformer/Benchmarking Data (Notre-Dame de Paris):STEP 3900 ARCH | LOSS | PPL | ENT | TIME SGR | 1.4481 | 4.26 | 1.5476 | 19.0ms STD | 2.0275 | 7.59 | 2.1476 | 40.3msSemantic Comparison (Generation from "Quasimodo"):SGR: "Quasimodo.

Show HN: Spine – Verifiable audit logs with BLAKE3 and Ed25519I've been working on a question that kept coming up in audits: How do you actually prove that logs haven’t been modified after the fact?Most logging stacks (Splunk, Datadog, ELK) are great for analytics, but when auditors ask “how do you prove integrity?”, the answer is usually vague or procedural.Spine answers this using cryptographic audit logs that can be verified offline, without trusting the logging system itself.The SDK and CLI are now open source. GitHub: https://github.com/EulBite/spine-ossThe problem Recent EU regulations (DORA, NIS2) explicitly require tamper-evident audit trails, but the problem exists independently of regulation:- Auditors increasingly ask how logs can be proven immutable- Most companies I talked to had no concrete technical answerQuick example:from spine_client import WAL, WALConfig, SigningKeykey = SigningKey.generate() wal = WAL(key, WALConfig(data_dir="./audit_log"))await wal.initialize() await wal.append({"event_type": "user.login", "user_id": "alice"}

Ask HN: Game where every player can claim they made a real museum artifact?I'm prototyping a short indie game with an unusual narrative structure.Technically, it's completely harmless. Culturally, it might provoke some discomfort.I'm going to build this, but I want to sanity-check with this community first.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The Structure ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━The game is set in an afterlife where everyone is a skeleton. No death. No game over. Just a lighthearted adventure.During the game, the player assembles a crystal skull.In the ending, this skull is depicted as being swapped with a real crystal skull held by a famous museum — one that's historically labeled "inauthentic" and has been the subject of academic debate for decades.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ What Happens (and Doesn't Happen) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Nothing happens in reality.The game: - Doesn't access external data - Doesn't connect to the internet - Doesn't contact any museum - Doesn't claim anything factualAll code stays strictly inside the game.But after finishing, every player can make this joke:"That museum's sku

Ark and GENESIS A protocol for sovereign know nodes and consent-based federationHi HN,I’ve been working on an architectural specification to address the structural flaws of email (noise/spam) and centralized platforms (lack of sovereignty). I just released the initial RFC/Manifesto on GitHub and I’m looking for feedback.The core concept is ARK: a sovereign knowledge node infrastructure.Unlike email (open protocol = spam) or social platforms (centralized = algorithmic bias), ARK relies on "Federation by Consent":1. Sovereignty by Design: You run your own ARK (node). You own the data, the users, and the rules. 2. Anti-Spam Structure: There is no public inbox. Nodes can only communicate after a handshake/peering agreement. If a node becomes toxic, you disconnect unilaterally. 3. GENESIS Module (Sovereign RAG): An internal engine that turns answered questions into reusable knowledge assets using local RAG, preventing knowledge drain. 4. Moral Compass: A lightweight, local LLM layer for civic guidance and moderation, controlled by the node owner, not a central censor.T

Tell HN: Amazon has deactivated my seller accountI sell 3d printed sleeves to attach an Apple Airtag to a Samsung TV remote. But Amazon thinks I am selling a Samsung device and has deactivated me for IP violations. My listings are very clear that this is FOR a Samsung device, and not an actual Samsung device. But Amazon's automated system can't figure it out. I am following their IP guidelines for compatible products (section 6C - https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/GZUQ6GBBXQVHQKF2):You can see one of my listings here:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHZVVL1HEvery time I listed a new product for a different TV remote, my item would be flagged, but then I would go in and make a small edit, and that seemed to trigger some sort of review, and everything would be great.Until last week, out of nowhere, my account has been deactivated.To reinstate my account, they asked me to submit an authorization letter from the manufacturer or brand owner authorizing me to sell their products. Well, I figured, I am the manufacturer, so I wr

Show HN: See the carbon impact of your cloud as you codeHey folks, I’m Hassan, one of the co-founders of Infracost (https://www.infracost.io). Infracost helps engineers see and reduce the cloud cost of each infrastructure change before they merge their code. The way Infracost works is we gather pricing data from Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. What we call a ‘Pricing Service’, which now holds around 9 million live price points (!!). Then we map these prices to infrastructure code. Once the mapping is done, it enables us to show the cost impact of a code change before it is merged, directly in GitHub, GitLab etc. Kind of like a checkout-screen for cloud infrastructure.We’ve been building since 2020 (we were part of YC W21 batch), and iterating on the product, building out a team etc. However, back in 2020 one of our users asked if we can also show the carbon impact alongside costs.It has been itching my brain since then. The biggest challenge has always been the carbon data. The mapping of carbon data to infrastructure

Ask HN: What are the metrics for "AI-generated technical debt"?Here’s one place where I think proponents and skeptics of agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) tend to talk past each other:Proponents say things like:- “I shipped feature X in days instead of weeks.”- “I could build this despite not knowing Rust / the framework / the codebase.”- “This unblocked work that would never have been prioritized.”Skeptics say things like:- “This might work for solo projects, but it won’t scale to large codebases with many developers.”- “You’re trading short-term velocity for long-term maintainability, security, and operability.”- “You’re creating tons of technical debt that will surface later.”I’m sympathetic to both sides. But the asymmetry is interesting: The pro side has quantifiable metrics (time-to-ship, features delivered, scope unlocked). The con side often relies on qualitative warnings (maintainability, architectural erosion, future cost).In most organizations, leadership is structurally biased toward what can be measured: velocity, throug

Ask HN: What are the recommender systems papers from 2024-2025?I’ve been keeping up with the classics (NCF, Wide & Deep, LightGCN), but the field seems to have shifted dramatically in the last 18–24 months toward LLM-based reasoning and graph-based retrieval at scale.I’m looking for the "state of the art" in 2026. Specifically:LLM4Rec: Beyond just using LLMs for feature engineering—who is doing generative recommendation well?Retrieval vs. Ranking: Any new breakthroughs in the "Two-Tower" paradigm or vector database integration?Real-world Scale: Papers that address the latency/cost trade-offs of these newer, heavier models.What has been the most influential paper you’ve read recently that changed how you think about discovery?

Ask HN: Do you have any evidence that agentic coding works?I've been trying to get agentic coding to work, but the dissonance between what I'm seeing online and what I'm able to achieve is doing my head in.Is there real evidence, beyond hype, that agentic coding produces net-positive results? If any of you have actually got it to work, could you share (in detail) how you did it?By "getting it to work" I mean: * creating more value than technical debt, and * producing code that’s structurally sound enough for someone responsible for the architecture to sign off on.Lately I’ve seen a push toward minimal or nonexistent code review, with the claim that we should move from “validating architecture” to “validating behavior.” In practice, this seems to mean: don’t look at the code; if tests and CI pass, ship it. I can’t see how this holds up long-term. My expectation is that you end up with "spaghetti" code that works on the happy path but accumulates subtle, hard-to-debug failures over time.When I tried using Codex on my existing codebases, with or

Show HN: Txt2plotter – True centerline vectors from Flux.2 for pen plottersI’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.
