Show HN: Nightshift – Rust CLI to Orchestrate GitHub Issue Resolution with Dags

https://github.com/Shaurya-Sethi/nightshift

Hi everyone,I built Nightshift: An agent-agnostic rust-cli tool that orchestrates completion of GitHub Issues.When Openai and Anthropic released `/goal` a couple months ago, I was really excited to try it for long-horizon tasks. But after using it, it didn't blow me away and i did some digging and found a major architectural flaw when using it for complex multi-issue workflows: context rot.This...

Why codex /goal fails on complex workflows: compaction amnesia and context rot

Hi HN,When Openai released `/goal` earlier this month, I was really excited to try it for long-horizon tasks. But after using it, it didn't blow me away and i did some digging and found a major architectural flaw when using it for complex multi-issue workflows: context rot.This isn't anything new, but given how openai positioned this feature to developers, i was let down by how they'd...

hi gabriel, the problem you are trying to solve is valid, but both claude-code and codex natively support local models ran through ollama. i've tried doing this before, and SLMs still fail to do basic tasks because they are put in a harness that has too many features and tools.

i've had really good success though in using them in minimal harnesses like pi-coding-agent. without an open-source repo it would be difficult to guess/assume what your approach is, but i hope you're thinking in the same direction and not trying to reinvent the wheel.

best, shaurya
