You need to define an escape hatch for the LLM otherwise it will loop on increasingly small issues and even start making up issues that don't actually exist. A simple "fix all medium and high severity issues" guidance will prevent low-priority nits from consuming all your tokens.
Its an interesting idea, typically the rules are defined while bootstrapping and carry from one project to the next since personalization of the rules is hard and tedious. I could see larger orgs using this to bootstrap a fully customized lint rule file. But its a shame its only typescript!
Actually like the minimalist design - congrats on the release. Appears pretty useful especially while claude is so opaque with sub agents

Show HN: Gemini models are getting better – we can prove it

https://github.com/awesoftsolutions/google_gemini_flash_comparison

We ran seven Google models through the same task, in the same multi-agent harness.Improvements to reasoning and tool calls are the main reasons for the improvements. We saw less and less reasoning and some of the lowest invalid tool calls across the entire evaluation suite.Github link for the run output and analysis. More at evals.favur.dev

When we create a large amount of memories or research docs I always find it best to create a table of contents or a reference doc citing all the docs and a short sentence about it.

Then that TOC becomes the "required read" before everything in any new agent. Which increases the memory doc read substantially since it understands what each doc is natively.

Re:Show HN: 100% native Swift harness (NOT Electron) on Monday August 10, 2026 @11:17AM (#49244835)
Congrats on shipping this. Going all-Swift can't have been the path of least resistance.

Curious what made you take it - was it mostly about how the thing feels to use day to day, or something you kept hitting with the Electron ones?

We took loop engineering a step further and run the agents inside workflows to keep them on task across the whole 2 day run. Happy to get into how it works.

Show HN: We let Muse Spark 1.1 vibe code itself to produce 2048

We provided our harness with a single objective - 2048 with a twist - and 2 days later it delivered.https://github.com/awesoftsolutions/idea_meta-muse-2048-gameThe run is recorded end to end, so the code can be checked against the process that produced it.

Show HN: Favur Evals – evals of our agent harness, explore and control replays

https://evals.favur.dev

Maker here. Favur is a multi-agent harness written in Python: a team of 14 specialized agents — planner, architect, coder, tester, reviewer, builder among them — coordinated by Favur itself, not by an LLM. It takes a written statement of work and produces completed code, with no hand-holding or constant guidance along the way. Favur Evals scores those runs across models, using the same...

Took me longer than I'll admit to figure out what I had to hit!
