we’re using “framework” intentionally because it goes beyond argument parsing. crust handles parsing, but also:
type inference across args + flags end to end compile-time validation (so mistakes fail before runtime) plugin system with lifecycle hooks (help, version, autocomplete, etc.) composable modules (prompts, styling, validation, build tooling) auto-generates agent skills and modules from the CLI definitions
so it sits a layer above a traditional arg parser like yargs or commander, closer to something like oclif, but much lighter and bun-native.

Show HN: Nia CLI, an OSS CLI for agents to index, search, and research anything
https://github.com/nozomio-labs/nia-cli
We’re open-sourcing the Nia CLI: a command-line tool for AI agents to index and search technical and general data sources directly from the terminal.GitHub: https://github.com/nozomio-labs/nia-cliWe originally built Nia as an MCP server and API, but a lot of the most capable agents today, like Claude Code, Cursor, and custom shell-based pipelines, live in the terminal. For those agents, a CLI...
Show HN: Open-source semantic search over your local notes via CLI
https://github.com/chenxin-yan/nia-vault
Introducing Nia Vault, a CLI that lets you query your local markdown/text files using natural language.What it does:Semantic search over local folders and notes Works across multiple synced directories RAG-style answers with citations from your own filesHow it works:Calls `POST /search/query` with `local_folders` Uses `search_mode: sources` to return answers + file referencesExample:vault ask...
Show HN: AI agent that searches the Cursor forum
I built an AI agent that searches the entire Cursor community forum (http://forum.cursor.com/) and answers questions grounded in real forum discussions.The problem: Cursor's forum has tons of valuable content - feature discussions, troubleshooting threads, tips from power users - but it's hard to search. Traditional forum search is keyword-based and misses a lot of context.The solution: I...
Couple things happening:
Semantic search limitation: Less-famous names don't have strong embeddings, so it defaults to general connections rather than specific mentions Keyword search gap: You're right — raw grep can catch exact names I'm missing
On LLMs vs traditional NLP: I hear you, and I've seen similar issues with LLM hallucination on structured data. That's why the architecture here is hybrid:
- Traditional exact regex/grep search for names, dates, identifiers - Vector search for semantic queries - LLM orchestration layer that must cite sources and can't generate answers without grounding
Trump and Epstein were social acquaintances in Palm Beach and New York circles during the 1990s-early 2000s. They socialized together at Mar-a-Lago and other venues
Show HN: OSS AI agent that indexes and searches the Epstein files
Hi HN,I built an open-source AI agent that has already indexed and can search the entire Epstein files, roughly 100M words of publicly released documents.The goal was simple: make a large, messy corpus of PDFs and text files immediately searchable in a precise way, without relying on keyword search or bloated prompts.What it does:- The full dataset is already indexed - You can ask natural...
No manual chunking. We index with multiple strategies (hierarchical docs structure, symbol boundaries, semantic splitting) so the agent can jump into the right part without guessing chunk edges.
Context is selective. The agent retrieves minimal snippets and can fetch more iteratively as it reasons, rather than preloading large chunks. We benchmark this using exact match evaluations on real agent tasks: correctness, reduced hallucination, and fewer round trips.
