Buried at 4 points on Show HN, which is a shame, because it's the most consequential idea in today's Show HN cluster. Every MCP server you connect burns context on tool schemas before the agent does any work, and aggregation behind a two-tool facade is the obvious fix nobody had shipped. It landed alongside Wallfacer (a terminal session manager for Claude Code, 27 points, MIT Go) and HUD (a minimal TUI for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode, 22 points). Three posts in 20 hours all attacking agent overhead from different sides. The low point totals say the pattern is earlier than the problem is widespread.

affaan-m/ECC (36.3k forks, MIT) bundles 67 agents, 284 skills, 94 legacy command shims, and "instincts", patterns learned from prior sessions with confidence scores that auto-recall when relevant, plus a .ecc/memory/ markdown vault that's explicitly cross-harness, so context s...
A category has formed around one job, watching and steering many concurrent coding agents from a single pane. AionUi (TypeScript) markets a 24/7 "Cowork" app spanning OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and 20+ more CLI agents; agent-of-empires (Rust) offers TUI and...
QM went up under MIT license. Created July 29. As of the GitHub API check: 8,420 stars, 887 forks. Five days. YC uses it internally across accounting, legal, events, and engineering, including to build QM itself. Every employee and every Slack room gets its own scoped memory,...
I check Product Hunt maybe once a week and usually regret it. Today's board is worth reading as market structure. The July 30 leaderboard: SKI at 277 upvotes (free voice input for Claude Code and Codex). AI Search Console at 249 (prompt analytics and citation mapping). Memmy A...
A 29-star MIT terminal UI organizes coding-agent sessions into a hierarchical tree grouped by project, each session in its own tmux pane so agents keep working after the manager closes. Tracks working, waiting, finished, errored, idle, and dead states, supports spacebar quick-...
akitaonrails/ai-memory (1,229 stars, +184 this week, MIT, Rust, 900 commits) inverts the usual design: hooks emit sanitized lifecycle observations during a session, and the server compiles them into coherent wiki pages at session end or PreCompact, "compiled from observations...
