New, smaller models can outperform the previous generation's foundation models.

What if there's a way to extract the commodity of intelligence from smaller models?

I've seen for many use cases it's well enough. :)

I wonder if this was made in the sub agent's chat? Thanks for sharing.

I saw another post today about a startup making an oven for baking bread. I feel that often the main issue lies with what you need 'the code' to accomplish.

My flow state is thinking about and understanding this: am I solving a problem that needs to be solved now, for the right person?

I created this to help me understand it (project foundations + create milestones) and then bring it to reality (ship milestones).

They're doing some really cool stuff with Agents too.. automating software pm. it's a huge difference between this and their (unnamed) larger competitors.

Its all about retaining the context and spawning sub agents which can bootstrap quickly and accurately.

I'm interested in others dping something similar :) I included a docs cli tool in pypi to manage this context:

This is the part I think we will see become more relevant.

I created docs-cli (pypi) to manage the index of specs as source code: the framework that goes with it will first create tests for as much as it can, so reproducability becomes the goal, not readability.

Show HN: docs-cli - coding-agent project state in Markdown

ArtRichards — Mon, 25 May 2026 13:07:17 +0000

Hi HN

I recently published docs-cli to pypi. I created this tool because I noticed that my docs kept getting out of sync: I've been using markdown to track the project's implementation and progress, and it became really hard to keep track of everything. This is a simple tool for your agents to ensure that links and indexes are kept fresh.

I included the agent-playbook-suite marketplace since this is how I use it. The docs repo was actually built also using it, so dogfooding since day one :) The Agent Playbook Suite includes everything needed to create a project from start to finish.

Linked is the blog post where I lay out my rationale and the use cases :)

Try docs-cli out with:

  python3 -m pip install --upgrade docs-cli

I would love feedback, issues, and PRs.

This is my first Show HN after lurking for over 15 years. Happy to hear any constructive (or other) criticism

Apparently there's been work to expose Meta pushing/funding this, to shift age responsibility from them and force for fine grained age data to be provided to apps.

I like using the automatic lists in soundcloud to discover new music. Often its hit or miss but it can surface some great tracks... Its intentional though, gotta have your finger on the skip track and heart...

ArtRichards — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 11:29:17 +0000

This is exactly how I've found leads to most consistent high quality results as well. I don't use gemini yet (except for deep research, where it pulls WAY ahead of either of the other 'grounding' methods)

But Codex to plan big features and Claude to review the feature plan (often finds overlooked discrepancies) then review the milestones and plan implementation of them in planning mode, then clear context and code. Works great.

In a youtube demo, the author says he has been working on this idea for a while, and was motivated to deliver after the GIF. So, kinda? Thanks for the reference.

That being a possible reason why certain words alleviate, they actually operate at a different level in our conciousness.
