Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (January 2026) on Tuesday January 13, 2026 @03:19AM (#46598481)
I am building a Claude code orchestration tool that automatically updates agent skills based on ambiguities flagged in agent responses by a meta overseer. The overseer reasons on top of the worker agents’ reasoning. When that happens, it sends me async requests and early on there are a lot of them. Based on my input, the system updates skills or splits them into smaller ones for tighter context control. This sets up a HITL driven training loop that constantly refreshes skills and adapts the agent swarm to new tasks.

I think of it as recursive transfer of human expertise into skills.

I know this is vague and probably raises more questions than it answers. I will share more once it reaches a semi autonomous working state.

Ask HN: How do developers learn design intuition?

As the title says: as a programmer and a wanna-be solopreneur, I often catch myself thinking way more about app architecture than about what actually matters for the user experience and satisfaction. Stuff like the API between frontend and backend, how the components are laid out, what data structures I’ll need, which questions the database queries answer. Which abstractions to introduce and...
