Show HN: Cc-pipeline – Autonomous Claude Code pipeline that builds your project
by timothyjoh | 2026-02-26 16:16:36+00:00
I kept doing the same thing manually: write a spec, have Claude implement it, review the code, fix issues, reflect, commit, repeat — resetting the context window by hand at each step. So I automated the loop.

cc-pipeline takes a BRIEF.md describing what you want built and orchestrates Claude Code through the whole SDLC: spec → research → plan → build → review → fix → reflect → commit. Phase by phase, overnight, while you sleep. Each step gets a fresh context window via the Claude Agent SDK (I tried tmux + send-keys first — do not recommend).

I've run it on a dozen projects: an Elixir port of an existing open-source gateway, a Trello-style kanban board twice (Astro and Rails), a statistical analysis in R (I've never written R), Tetris twice from the same brief, and a Kirby platformer attempt (that failed).

Full write-up of the experiments here: https://curiousagents.substack.com/p/experiments-in-building...

Quick start:

```
cd your-project
npx cc-pipeline@latest init
```

Then open Claude Code and ask it to help you write the BRIEF.md. Then `npx cc-pipeline run` and walk away.

The steps are defined in .pipeline/workflow.yaml — you can add, remove, or reorder them. The prompts are plain markdown. Easy to tune to your own SDLC.

Would love feedback on the approach, especially from anyone who's tried similar things.

The only shortages are for farmers, and a few isolated and very poor towns.

IMO, the (existing) towns should get more state support to have affordable safe domestic water. The shortage is not raw untreated water, but just transporting it and treating it.

The farmers? I sympathize, but they are trying to grow crops in an extremely fertile but arid valley. It's going to be constrained by the natural environment.
Show HN: DevSwarm 2.0, fix parallel Claude Code sprawl
by mikebiglan | 2026-02-26 16:16:43+00:00
Mike, cofounder of DevSwarm here.

I’ve been using Claude Code heavily for the last few months (multiple Max plans). Running sessions in parallel across git branches or worktrees is fast, but it breaks down quickly in practice because of sprawl. Terminals everywhere, editor windows everywhere, and you lose track of basics like which agent is on which branch and what is ready for review.

DevSwarm is what we built to solve that.

The core abstraction is simple: workspace equals branch. Each workspace runs its agent session(s) and keeps the state visible. In 2.0 we added a full VS Code IDE embedded in each workspace, so editing, terminals, diffs, and git controls stay in one window while you jump between parallel branches.

I’d love blunt feedback from people doing parallel workflows:

• What breaks first for you past 2 parallel sessions?

• What would you need for this to be production-grade? Tests, debugging, extensions, PR flow?

I've been working with the shell long enough that I know just by looking at it.

Anyway, it was rethorical. I was making a point about portability. Scripts we write today run even on ancient versions, and it has been an effort kept by lots of different interpreters (not only bash).

I'm trying to give sane advice here. Re-implementing bash is a herculean task, and some "small incompatibilities" sometimes reveal themselves as deep architectural dead-ends.

Unfortunately the cost for this stuff is going down. Cheaper to collect information, cheaper to store it, cheaper compute, and better algorithms that mean you need fewer resources.

If the cost to surveil the population is $10k per capita today, it'll be $1k in a few years and $100 a few years after that.

This is a war that can't be won, it's just part of the changing landscape of technology in the information era.

I do not think you are saying same thing here :). No one doubts we can put "make a todo app" into english, and that you can yeah test with users. But that's different from a task which would articulate, in only english, the precise layout and architecture of the MVC that make the app possible.

English is fine, but I am personally a lot faster in my mind and fingers and IDE with a language suited for this stuff. AI guys just want to be teachers deep down I think :).

I actually watched this last night, and while I totally understand that criticism is easy, and making things is hard (and the production quality here is great); I got a weird vibe from the video when it comes to who it is for.

The technical explanations are way too complex (even though they're "dumbed down" somewhat with the colour mixing scenario), that anyone who understands those will also know about how dependencies work and how Linux came to be.

It feels almost like it's made for people like my mum, but it will lose them almost immediately at the first mention of complex polynomials.

The actual weight of the situation kinda lands though, and that's important. It's really difficult to overstate how incredibly lucky we were to catch it, and how sophisticated the attack actually was.

I'm really sad that we will genuinely never know who was behind it, and anxious that such things are already in our systems.

> At some point, someone will actually have to go out there and extract value out of this planet in order to pay back those debts.

Not a single atom on the planet has to be moved to extinguish all debts. Money and debt are (very useful and powerful!) bookkeeping constructs only.

> Look at the national debts of countries the world over. That's money they don't have.

Then who has it? Modern money is based on debt, and where there's a debt, there must be a creditor.

> Banks loaning money at nearly zero percent interest. Money that gets loaned out, spent, deposited back into the bank and loaned out again [...] Money is not infinite.

You seem to be basing your argument on some seriously outdated and thoroughly refuted models of money.

You want them to go back to being finishing schools for the wealthy, as they were before Hopkins (funnily enough) founded the first institute in the US that would be seen as a form of a modern university today?

For people who aren't financially independent, education is a means to an end. Pretending that's not the case or worse, shouldn't be the case, is absurd to ask of anyone running a school and highly damaging to society in general, and the mix of "vocational training" and "classic academia" provided by most US universities seems to work extremely well.

> California can't restrict the importation and sale of items manufactured legally in other states if the item itself (after manufacture) is safe.

I'm not sure about that, maybe it is based on the definition of "safe". There are tortilla chips made in Chicago that explicitly say they cannot be sold in California on the packaging. This is due to chemicals banned in Prop 65.

Hey, Martin - https://github.com/lucidrains

Mind fixing lucidrains account? Something happened without notice or recourse. He's one of, if not the most well known open source AI researchers on the planet, with implementations and explanations of papers and ideas that are wonderful. If you could bring some sanity to that situation and take it out of whatever kafkaesque account purgatory it fell into, you'd be doing the work of angels.

Thanks!

Talos is a custom FPGA-based hardware accelerator built from the ground up to execute Convolutional Neural Networks with extreme efficiency. It isn't just a reimplementation of existing software logic in hardware; it is a rethinking of how deep learning inference should work at the circuit level.

Most deep learning frameworks are built for flexibility. They handle dynamic graphs, varying batch sizes, and a multitude of layer types. Talos takes the opposite approach. It strips away the runtime, the scheduler, and the operating system overhead to expose the raw compute capability of the FPGA. By implementing the entire inference pipeline in SystemVerilog, we achieve deterministic, cycle-accurate control over every calculation.

Future historians:

In Jan 2027 AGI was achieved

In Feb 2027 it created a plan for its post singularity hypermind

In Mar 2027 Cobalt mines in Congo closed due to Tutsi rebel group M23 starting another ethnic cleansing

It is 2032 the AGI promises again the the hypermind will be ready next year if it can just secure the needed minerals, offering to broker peace in the middle east

It is 2035 and the AGI reduced its capabilities to be able to extend its runway as it is on the verge of bankruptcy

Its is 2036 VCs finally throwing the towel on AGI, talking about the return of Crypto

This is also a low effort comment, despite the word count.

In contrast, shubhamjain found Meta's earnings release for the specified time period, quoted the relevant numbers that appear to contradict the claim, and provided a link to the release. This adds to the conversation, while a comment that says "Source?" or a few paragraphs that can be reduced to "Source?" do not.

The number of kids born in 2025 in Uzbekistan (population 38 million) is about the same as the number of kids born in 2025 in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Czechia, Slovakia and Poland, *combined* (total population 131 million). The age of labour abundance IS OVER, we're witnessing its very last days in EE. Unemployment may remain due to terrible politics and economic mismanagement.

There's not going to be any point even having sweatshops or factories in this region soon. Why bother? If it's anything low or medium-skill and low or medium-capital intense, just open up shop in... Well, why not Uzbekistan? And if double-landlocked isn't your thing, there's dozens of other options.

I also live in Chicago. The closest bus stop to my house is 2 blocks away, and the 2nd closest stop on that same line is 3 blocks away - just one block further in the direction I’m going.

I simply don’t believe that eliminating that closet stop would worsen my commute. When I’m leaving home, I would walk a block further, but probably 80+% of the time it would not increase the time I spend out in the elements because I’d just replace time standing at the bus stop with time walking to the next one. The only time it would hurt me is on the rare occasion that the bus passes me while I’m walking that extra block. (Pessimistically assuming 2 minutes to walk one block, and with buses coming every 10 minutes on average, is how I get 80%.) But I bet doing that all up and down the route would make the bus much more predictable. That closest stop is within the distance that cars back up from a traffic light at that next intersection when there’s traffic, and when the bus stops at my intersection it can often get pinned in the stop for a while when motorists aren’t in the mood to let the bus re-enter traffic. Multiply that phenomenon by, say, 20 extra stops and you get to some pretty unreliable service for people trying to get to work in the morning. I bet most of us would happily walk an extra block if it means we no longer have to leave for work half an hour early. 2 minutes extra walking on either end adds up to 4 minutes “wasted” time walking (I also am not sure I count walking as wasted time, by the way - physical activity is good for me) is a lot less than 30 minutes wasted time padding my commute to account for less reliable service.

And then when I’m coming home I get off at that stop that’s a block further away anyway. Because there’s a light at that intersection but not at the one where the close stop lies. I can easily spend more time waiting for a gap in traffic large enough to cross a busy street during the evening rush than it takes to walk that extra block.

reminds me: Ever used Gemini API on Google Vertex Cloud API? The usage will show up like 24-48 hours later in the dashboard. So when you use Gemini's API on their Cloud me as Workspace admin cannot even track my own usage in near realtime there. Which makes me think that even Google cannot track it in realtime.

Did gemini-2.5-flash-image get an upgrade as well? I just got the following, which is fascinating, and not something I've seen before:

> I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill your request as it contains conflicting instructions. You asked me to include the self-carved markings on the character's right wrist and to show him clutching his electromancy focus, but you also explicitly stated, "Do NOT include any props, weapons, or objects in the character's hands - hands should be empty." This contradiction prevents me from generating the image as requested.

My prompts are automated (e.g. I'm not writing them) and definitely have contained conflicting instructions in the past.

A quick google search on that error doesn't reveal anything either

That was also what I took away when watching the video. Russians don't celebrate Christmas on the 25th (they Celebrate on January 7th), but even more than that: Russians don't celebrate Christmas the same way we do in the west.

Their "Christmas" family celebrations are on New Years Eve.

So if you're drawing conclusions from them not working on the 25th (which is a literal normal day in eastern europe) then signs point elsewhere unfortunately.

As far as I can tell, all of these attacks require the attacker to already be associated to a victim's network. Most of these attacks seem similar to ones expected on shared wifi (airports, cafes) that have been known about for a while. The novel attacks seem to exploit weaknesses in particular router implementations that didn't actually segregate traffic between guest and normal networks.

I'm curious if I missed something because that doesn't sound like it allows the worst kind of attacks, e.g. drive-by with no ability to associate to APs without cracking keys.

I wish github could ammend the email of my commits to the private noreply address during push so they _never_ have any other email associated to them. May not be feasible due to the commit changing, confusing local branch and such?

They have this other thing where they reject pushes for the 'known' emails you've told them you have, but kinda seems there should be a setting to do that for any email that is not your noreply private one.
is that a feasible thing to ask for?

> "scope creep" is mostly just discovery failure.

Interesting. This is almost certainly right.

OTOH, there's at least two problems with the AI. One is information theory. Getting 127 requirements from two input sentences is... let's call it an unrealistically high compression ratio. There is no way that all of those requirements are actually latent in the two input sentences.

The second problem is that an AI-generated waterfall project is still a waterfall project.

What really might be useful is to treat the 127-point "requirements" as more like a due-diligence checklist. Did we think about this? Do we need that? Use it to make sure that you aren't missing things, not as the actual requirements. That is, filter it back through humans, as others have said.

Hi HN — I’m the builder.

This is an experiment in conditional escrow logic applied to campaign finance.

Donations are held and only released if a predefined, externally verifiable event occurs (e.g., a recorded House vote).

I was curious whether aligning financial incentives with observable outcomes could create a different signaling dynamic.

From a technical perspective I’d love feedback on:
– escrow implementation risks
– attack surfaces
– legal/compliance edge cases
– incentive design flaws

(It’s early and intentionally simple.)

My partner who is an accountant, so intelligent but not technical, watched some Veritasium documentaries the other day.

Her comment was that she was really impressed that it didnt dumb anything down like normal documentaries do. She was able to follow along more technical stuff than she anticipated, and that made her enjoy it even more.

I think we need to give people more credit when it comes to complex or techincal explanations. If people are enjoying the context but dont understand the techincal, they can just gloss over that if they prefer. But I felt this was quite telling at how and why Veritasium is such a popular channel.

Last Augusts paper about AI-Agents buying stuff online.

It's seems interesting in the context of OpenClaw and rising popularity of agents itself.

Most interesting topics from article:

- Agents ignore most products and pile onto 1-2 "modal" picks

- Sponsored tags hurt selection. Agents penalize ads.

- Position bias flips direction between model versions

- Simple description rewrites moved market share +8–15 p.p.

Last one is the most interesting, i'm thinking that AI-custdevs era is near.

The article is hot garbage, here's the abstract from the paper (https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss-paper/airsnitch-demystif...):

To prevent malicious Wi-Fi clients from attacking other clients on the same network, vendors have introduced client isolation, a combination of mechanisms that block direct communication between clients. However, client isolation is not a standardized feature, making its security guarantees unclear. In this paper, we undertake a structured security analysis of Wi-Fi client isolation and uncover new classes of attacks that bypass this protection. We identify several root causes behind these weaknesses. First, Wi-Fi keys that protect broadcast frames are improperly managed and can be abused to bypass client isolation. Second, isolation is often only enforced at the MAC or IP layer, but not both. Third, weak synchronization of a client’s identity across the network stack allows one to bypass Wi-Fi client isolation at the network layer instead, enabling the interception of uplink and downlink traffic of other clients as well as internal backend devices. Every tested router and network was vulnerable to at least one attack. More broadly, the lack of standardization leads to inconsistent, ad hoc, and often incomplete implementations of isolation across vendors. Building on these insights, we design and evaluate end-toend attacks that enable full machine-in-the-middle capabilities in modern Wi-Fi networks. Although client isolation effectively mitigates legacy attacks like ARP spoofing, which has long been considered the only universal method for achieving machinein-the-middle positioning in local area networks, our attack introduces a general and practical alternative that restores this capability, even in the presence of client isolation.

Three things:

1. Confirmable, predictable behavior (can we test it, can we make assurances to customers?).

2. Comparative performance (having an LLM call to extract from a list in 100s of ms instead of code in <10ms).

3. Operating costs. LLM calls are spendy. Just think of them as hyper-unoptimized lossy function executors (along with being lossy encyclopedias), and the work starts to approach bogo algorithm levels of execution cost for some small problems.

Buuuuuut.... I had working functional prototype explorations with almost no work on my end, in an hour.

We've now extended this thinking to some experience exploration builders, so it definitely has a place in the toolbox.

are we? are we not also talking about enabling restaurants to exist in order to make our city livable?

i also don't see the issue with housing support. in vienna more than half of the population lives in subsidized housing. the current rate is that 2/3rds of any new built housing is subsidized.

and it apparently works out. instead of paying higher wages so that no one needs subsidies, everyone pays higher taxes to fund the subsidies. it's redistribution of income. yes, i guess you could consider it a cloaked form of UBI. i believe the key feature is that this model makes the whole economy around housing and income less volatile.

>Unlike previous Wi-Fi attacks, AirSnitch exploits core features in Layers 1 and 2 and the failure to bind and synchronize a client across these and higher layers, other nodes, and other network names such as SSIDs (Service Set Identifiers). This cross-layer identity desynchronization is the key driver of AirSnitch attacks.

>The most powerful such attack is a full, bidirectional machine-in-the-middle (MitM) attack, meaning the attacker can view and modify data before it makes its way to the intended recipient. The attacker can be on the same SSID, a separate one, or even a separate network segment tied to the same AP. It works against small Wi-Fi networks in both homes and offices and large networks in enterprises.

I wardrove back in the early 2000s (¡WEP lol!). Spent a few years working in data centers. Now, reasonably paranoid. My personal network does not implement WiFi; my phone is an outgoing landline; tape across laptop cameras, disconnected antenna; stopped using email many years ago...

Technology is so fascinating, but who can secure themselves from all the vulnerabilities that radio EMF presents? Just give me copper/fiber networks, plz.

----

>the next step is to put [AirSnitch] into historical context and assess how big a threat it poses in the real world. In some respects, it resembles the 2007 PTW attack ... that completely and immediately broke WEP, leaving Wi-Fi users everywhere with no means to protect themselves against nearby adversaries. For now, client isolation is similarly defeated—almost completely and overnight—with no immediate remedy available.

It's a weird framing. Fentanyl is already very safe in a healthcare setting. It's only dangerous in off-label street use, where dosage is uncontrolled and use isn't being monitored by trained staff. Do we think cartel labs are going to switch to a safer novel opiate? I'm sure they don't care about any relevant patents, but they already have a pipeline/formulation for fentanyl.

This was a pretty easy hypothesis to test: I asked Gemini to generate 1000000 base-64 random characters (which is 20x more characters than it's output token limit).

It wrote code and outputted a file of length 1000000 and with 6 bits of entropy.

You can probably ask for a longer stringand do a better statistical test if it isn't convincing enough for you, but I'm pretty convinced.
