I get unlimited cursor usage at work but am planning on starting a side project. I have no idea how far various pricing plans will get you. What is your experience with this?

Show HN: Ouijit, an open-source task and terminal manager for coding agents

pbjerkeseth — Sun, 31 May 2026 16:29:06 +0000

Hi HN, I’m working on Ouijit.

It’s a project and task-based terminal session manager that provides a few basic but useful tools for agent workflows: - Terminal sessions in Ouijit have access to the ouijit CLI, and supported agents (Claude, Codex, Pi) can work with it out of the box to manage tasks and customize a personal development workflow - Tasks live on a kanban board that supports hooks for task lifecycle events (eg. ‘Run this script when a task moves to ‘in progress’)

I’ve found this simple combination to be very expressive and flexible for adapting to changing workflows.

I made the V1 a couple months ago for fun, and have kept at it since a friend shared they had logged an 8 hour work session in it. Along the way I’ve baked in lots of what I believe are table-stakes for this type of tool, like task isolation via Git worktrees, agent working/idle status with sound and notifications, diff/markdown plan/URL previews, and support for VM sandboxing using Lima.

It’s free and open source with no login or telemetry, so feedback is highly appreciated.

Ask HN: Web editor that operate with AST?

mamcx — Sun, 31 May 2026 16:27:28 +0000

I'm looking into integrate a way to generate Typst, html and other output from my app, I could provide a raw text for it but wonder if exist a decent UI editor that fully operate on AST nodes I can (hopefully define!) use for transform it.

I know pandoc and such could work, but I looking to target pdf, word, excel and how do it nicely is something I wish to do.

The task is build all kind of business docs: Invoices, Quotes, Excel reports, etc

(if there is a better way, I'm hears!)

Show HN: Agents, run any coding agent on your subscription not API costs

memcoder — Sun, 31 May 2026 16:21:23 +0000

Hi HN. I'm the founder of Phoenix Labs (ex TikTok, Applied AI) and we're open sourcing our internal tooling today which is like a toolchain / meta-harness for CLI agents useful for really scaling eng and creative work.

We are a very small team who's building a very ambitious product so we had to find ways to squeeze every ounce of efficiency that we could get our hands on. Harness strengths of different models (Claude, GPTs) and CLI-harnesses (Claude Code, Codex), safe/robust browser integration to speed up UX/QA testing, teams cli to speed up security reviews and parallelize bug hunting and fixes, and secrets cli with touch id integration so DX is extremely fast.

We also noticed that small things like installing marketplaces, or sharing resources per projects (skills, plugins, secrets, subagents, workflows, rules, permission groups, hooks) took a lot of time so we put everything under ~/.agents and supported multi-layer dot-agents repos, auto layering and syncing system, user and project level resources and extra so teams can have their own dot-agents repos

Fun things like auto-rotation of CC credentials to tackle session limits also exist and save a lot of time. We usually have multiple agent versions installed per agent type.

CLI is called `agents` and it injects shims for `claude`, `codex` and other agents. When we need a new feature like routines for keeping CI healthy, we just implement it in a way that's compatible with most commonly uses agent-harnesses at our company including Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity/Gemini, Cursor/Grok CLI and more

Install:

curl -fsSL agents-cli.sh/install.sh | sh # or: bun install -g @phnx-labs/agents-cli

Source: https://github.com/phnx-labs/agents-cli

Honest limits: macOS works best. Linux works. Touch ID is macOS only. But, it's MIT :)

Want feedback on the developer experience. And my apologies if your agent harness is not supported throughout. Please feel free to make a PR and happy to hop on a chat/call
