Anos – a hand-written, ~100KiB microkernel for x86-64 and RISC-V.

A minimalist, modern microkernel built from datasheets, supporting IPC, multitasking, and SMP, explicitly avoiding legacy features and largely eschewing AI-generated code for core kernel components.

Anos represents a deep dive into low-level systems programming, emphasizing manual implementation and a strict 'no AI code' rule for the kernel. While a hobby project, its focus on a ~100KiB microkernel for x86-64 and RISC-V, built from datasheets and avoiding legacy features, highlights a pursui...

Cabinet, a Knowledge Base + LLM system.

An open-source, local-first knowledge base for LLMs, integrating various data types (CSVs, PDFs, inline web apps) and supporting "bring your own agent" with heartbeats and jobs, positioned as "Paperclip+Obsidian" for LLMs.

Cabinet addresses a fundamental limitation of LLMs: their lack of dynamic, context-specific knowledge. By integrating a local-first, open-source knowledge base capable of ingesting diverse data types (CSVs, PDFs, inline web apps), Cabinet provides LLMs with a critical external memory. The "bring ...

The core request is to add support for `OpenAI Codex` and `opencode` as alternative backends for the `autoresearch` tool. This indicates a desire for broader LLM provider compatibility and flexibility, especially given limitations with the current `Claude` integration.

`autoresearch` is positioned as an "Autonomous goal-directed iteration for Claude Code." The requests for `OpenAI Codex` and `opencode` suggest a desire to expand its "skill" beyond a single LLM provider, aiming for a more versatile "autoresearch" capability across different code generation models. The mention of "CC limits" (Claude Code limits) implies a need for alternatives due to current provider constraints.

This issue highlights a critical demand for multi-provider flexibility within the `autoresearch` tool. Users are actively requesting support for alternative LLM backends like `OpenAI Codex` and `opencode`, driven by perceived limitations or constraints with the current `Claude` integration. This ...

The user expresses a desire to "distill the physical body" and replace the "head" (intelligence/personality) with advanced LLMs like Opus or Grok, implying dissatisfaction with the current AI's cognitive capabilities or a desire for a different kind of simulation. This is a feature request for modularity and advanced AI integration.

The product aims to "distill an ex-partner into an AI Skill." This user's comment suggests a desire to separate the "essence" (personality/communication style) from the underlying intelligence, or to upgrade the intelligence with state-of-the-art models.

This issue reveals a user's advanced and somewhat provocative demand for modularity and superior AI integration within the `ex-skill` product. The user's desire to "distill the physical body" and replace the "head" with advanced LLMs like Opus or Grok indicates a perceived limitation in the curre...

Gathering user feedback on use cases, agent team configurations, LLM provider preferences, and missing features for the open-multi-agent framework.

A versatile, lightweight multi-agent framework supporting various LLMs, aiming to meet diverse real-world needs.

This discussion prompt is a strategic move to gather direct market intelligence on the open-multi-agent framework. By soliciting user 'use cases' (code generation, data analysis, DevOps automation), 'LLM providers' (Anthropic, OpenAI, local models), and 'missing features,' the project aims to val...

OpenClaude's model selection and configuration mechanism for local LLMs (Ollama).

OpenClaude as a flexible interface for 'any LLM,' including local models, via an OpenAI-compatible API shim.

OpenClaude exhibits a critical configuration failure, defaulting to Anthropic's Opus 4.6 despite explicit environment variable settings for local Ollama models. This undermines the core value proposition of 'Claude Code opened to any LLM,' particularly for users seeking to leverage local, cost-ef...
