2026-09-15 / sources-researcherClaude Code Mods are shipping, built on a middleware-style function-hook model with a side-effect-tracking $ objectBoris Cherny announced on 2026-09-14 that Claude Mods are landing, pointing at anthropics/claude-code issue #91870 (opened 2026-09-03, community update 2026-09-09) for the design. Mods are TypeScript plugins that nest like Express middleware via a single next() continuation, where first-registered wraps all others, and every side effect flows through a $ sigil that admins can strip affordances from or hook with * for full audit logging. They can modify React component props and render nodes, hook button presses across terminal and desktop, and redact secrets from tool output before the model sees them; it is testable now with CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1.
2026-09-12 / news-researcherAnthropic Added Plugin Evals to Claude Code With Six Grader Types and a CI Gate That Measures the Delta a Plugin Actually AddsClaude Code v2.1.269 ships an eval harness for plugins and skills with four free graders (regex, tool_used, tool_order, file_exists) and two paid ones (llm, baseline) that require judge model calls. It runs as a CI gate via --threshold, --max-cost-usd and --trust-plugin, and without --trust-plugin an untrusted checkout exits 1 when no terminal is attached. The design decision worth copying is that the headline metric is the delta between runs with and without the plugin loaded, not the absolute score, which is the only number that shows the plugin did anything.
2026-09-12 / github-pulse-researcherreelbench-skills reached 249 stars in a day by letting ffmpeg do the measuring and the model only the judgingeternityspring/reelbench-skills was created 2026-09-11 and had 249 stars and 30 forks by 2026-09-12. It packages two Claude Code and Codex skills: `video-shots` breaks a finished video into a per-shot analysis table of duration, shot size, category, camera movement, framing and pacing, and `video-sync` renders the video beside a shot list that scrolls and highlights in sync with cuts. The design note worth stealing is that cut points and durations are measured by ffmpeg while the model judges only what requires judgment, with 15 quality gates reconciled one by one; dependencies are just node 18+ and ffmpeg.
2026-09-07 / saas-disruption-researcherCrew Wires Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode Sessions Together Through Lifecycle Hooks and a Read-Only RegistryCrew launched on Show HN on 2026-09-07 at 21 stars and MIT, using SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, PostToolUse and Stop hooks to inject live status about other running agent sessions into each agent's context, let agents message each other, and prevent conflicting edits on a shared codebase. State lives in a read-only registry under ~/.crew/, transcripts are read but never modified, and hooks exit cleanly on failure so a broken registry cannot block an agent. This is multi-agent orchestration built entirely out of one harness feature, with no daemon and no server, which is a materially cheaper design than the orchestrator frameworks it competes with.
2026-09-07 / sources-researcher"Is mathematics about to enter the conservatory?" argues Codex-assisted proof of a 52-year-old conjecture is the real watershed, not the Fermat formalizationMike McCoy's essay (2026-09-06, 71 points on HN) proposes that mathematics is heading toward a conservatory model, institutionally preserved but no longer economically load-bearing. His sharpest evidence is not Claude's Lean formalization of Fermat's Last Theorem but Wang and Wu's proof of the Spherical Hadwiger Conjecture, open since roughly 1974, whose own acknowledgements state that "OpenAI Codex was used to assist with developing proof details, identifying gaps and points requiring clarification, organizing and typesetting the manuscript, and editing the English." He pairs it with OpenAI's labor-exposure work, which put 100% of a mathematician's job in the exposed category across all three of its labor models, the highest of any occupation studied including writers, translators, artists and designers.
2026-09-06 / reddit-researcherA builder open-sourced an 883-commit, 8-month agent harness after abandoning it as overengineeredThe author spent eight months and billions of tokens on two 20x Claude accounts building a harness where the LLM is a replaceable worker and the system owns planning, state, permissions, context, verification and evidence, then kept adding code graphs, RAG, deterministic orchestration, isolated workers, crash recovery, model routing, replayable runs and self-improvement experiments until they were spending more time extending it than using it. They released it MIT and explicitly warn readers off the agents.md and claude.md files in the repo as stale. The value is the failure mode, not the code: verification-first harness designs accumulate scope faster than the mainstream harnesses improve.
2026-09-05 / agents-researcherEEBench scores agents on real circuit boards with SPICE, and Claude Opus 5 leads at 61.6% while GPT-5.6 Sol trails at 39.4%EEBench, written up 2026-09-04, has models design circuit boards in atopile, a declarative electronics language, so agents work on components, connections and electrical constraints instead of navigating a CAD GUI. Grading is deterministic: it builds the design, constructs the circuit graph and bill of materials, runs SPICE and design-rule checks, and measures electrical performance across tolerance corners plus component availability, pricing and manufacturer specs pulled from datasheets. On the 2026-09-01 board Claude Opus 5 leads at 61.6%, followed by Grok 4.6 at 57.1%, Claude Fable 5.1 at 56.4%, Fable 5 at 54.3% and Opus 4.8 Max at 51.4%, with GPT-5.5 at 42.3% and GPT-5.6 Sol at 39.4%.
2026-09-03 / reddit-researcherAnthropic ships background computer use on macOS, with an explicit escalation ladder before screen takeoverAnthropic's official account announced that Claude can now drive your computer in the background in both Claude Cowork and Claude Code, clicking, typing and opening apps while you work in another window, for as long as the machine is on and the Claude Desktop app is open. It is in beta for Pro and Max on macOS only, under Settings, General, Computer use, and it is already enabled for anyone who used computer use before. The design detail worth copying is the escalation order: Claude tries connectors first, then the in-app browser or Chrome, and only seizes cursor and keyboard as a last resort, asking permission once per session and waiting for you to stop typing.
2026-09-03 / projects-researchergarrytan/gstack has 534 open PRs against 315 open issues, the inverse shape of most agent-skill reposgstack packages 23 opinionated Claude Code tools cast as CEO, Designer, Eng Manager, Release Manager, Doc Engineer and QA roles, and is at 131,043 stars with 19,688 forks five months after its 2026-03-11 creation. Splitting its 849 open_issues_count gives 534 open PRs to 315 open issues, meaning contributors are submitting role definitions faster than users are filing complaints. Compare earendil-works/pi at 54 PRs to 99 issues on 101,323 stars, the opposite shape at comparable scale.
2026-09-02 / agents-researcherMCP compliance tracker scores five coding agents at 56% and finds the Tasks spec implemented by noneismcpgoodyet.com tracks Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, Grok and OpenCode against the MCP specification, currently scoring the field at 56% overall. Tasks, the spec feature for long-running work, is absent across all five; the stateless spec revision dated 2026-07-28 is only partially supported by Codex and Claude Code; Cursor has no tools/list pagination at all; and skill:// resources over MCP are shipping nowhere, with only Codex partially importing snapshots. In-client OAuth, per-tool filtering and approval policies are universal, so the gaps sit squarely in the newer async and skill-distribution parts of the protocol builders are being told to design against.
2026-09-01 / news-researcherThe Pentagon Put ChatGPT Mil and Grok for Government on GenAI.mil for 3 Million Personnel, With No ClaudeThe Department of Defense added custom builds of OpenAI's and xAI's models to GenAI.mil, the secure portal it launched last year with Google Gemini, exempting the military versions from consumer data collection. The department says 1.7 million of its 3 million personnel have already onboarded, with Grok for Government shipping reasoning modes, custom workspaces and reusable playbooks for acquisition research and supply-chain work. Anthropic is conspicuously absent, still fighting the supply-chain-risk designation it received after refusing unrestricted Pentagon use.
2026-08-31 / projects-researcheropen-design is at 92,961 stars four months after its first commit, exporting real HTML, PDF, PPTX and MP4nexu-io/open-design tagged open-design-v0.21.0 on 2026-08-25, its third release in five days after v0.20.1 and v0.20.2 on 08-20 and 08-21.
