Show HN: SkillLens – scan and audit locally installed agent skills

https://skilllens.run

Hi HN — I built a small CLI called SkillLens to help answer: “What agent skills do I have installed, and are any of them sketchy?”A lot of agent ecosystems (Claude/Codex/OpenCode, etc.) store skills as folders with a SKILL.md. These files can contain surprisingly powerful instructions (and sometimes unsafe patterns), but they’re easy to forget once installed. We're also tend to run them with...

Show HN: A tiny work log that generates performance review summaries

https://jotchain.com/

Hi HN,A few months ago I posted JotChain here — a work log tool that tried to do too much. The feedback was fair: the value wasn’t obvious.I rebuilt it with a much narrower focus: performance reviews.The problemWe recently started doing performance reviews, and I had to review three developers. I remembered some highlights and issues from the past year, but a lot of context was missing —...

I do have more feature ideas I want to add and I'm basically dogfooding this to myself and I have no plans to abandon it so far.

If you can not get into habit then it won't work for you. The main problem it solved for me is that I get summaries whenever I need and it's just there, I don't have to scroll through it all the time.

But if other solution works better for you then it's great!

Hey HN,I've been working in fast-paced startups for 10 years now, and I've noticed it's really hard to keep up with all the stuff I do. Sometimes it's tough to recall everything by the end of the week (EOW), and it's annoying when you have to show it off in a meeting or during a performance review.I tried taking notes on paper, in Notion, Obsidian, Markdown files, and whatnot, but they all...

Thanks for a feedback, I'll hack on android version pretty soon, would be a perfect time to get a new device as well to test and jump off that "Apple needle" :)
Thanks! That would definitely be cool! But for AR glasses I would be keen to see e.g. how this street looked like 100 years ago or smth.

Hi HN!My name is Grigory, I'm a backend developer from 9 to 5, but I'm also hacking stuff on the side, though I never reached the point of actually releasing anything. But now it's over and I decided to share the product I recently built.Every time I walked through an interesting neighborhood, I'd stop every few blocks to Google buildings, statues, or street names. Felt like I was missing the...
