Browser extension conflict preventing `chrome.debugger.attach()` in OpenCLI

Reliable browser automation and web interaction via CLI
This bug exposes a critical fragility in OpenCLI's browser automation mechanism: conflicts with other Chrome extensions, specifically "new tab override" types. The core issue lies in OpenCLI's `resolveTabId()` function failing to validate the debuggability of the final URL when a `tabId` already ...

Architectural decision to modularize GSD2's monolithic structure into shippable extensions with install infrastructure.

Evolving GSD2 from a monolithic application to a modular, extensible platform with optimized resource consumption and improved performance, enhancing its appeal as a "powerful meta-prompting, context engineering and spec-driven development system."
ADR-006 addresses critical architectural debt in GSD2, currently a monolithic application suffering from bloated install size (842 MB `node_modules`), slow startup, and deep internal coupling. The proposed modularization into independently shippable extensions, with dedicated install infrastructu...

Understudy – a local-first desktop agent runtime that can operate GUI apps, browsers, shell tools, files, and messaging in one session, teachable by demonstrating a task once.

A desktop agent that learns tasks by demonstration, extracting intent rather than coordinates, to create reusable skills for cross-application workflows, positioned as a robust alternative to brittle macros.
Understudy represents a significant leap in desktop automation, moving beyond brittle, coordinate-based macros and single-application RPA solutions. Its core innovation, "teach-by-demonstration" coupled with "intent extraction," addresses a critical pain point: the fragmented nature of modern wor...

agent-browser-protocol (ABP), an open-source browser for AI agents forked from Chromium

A specialized browser protocol designed to eliminate 'stale state' failures in AI agent-browser interactions, making the process feel like a 'multimodal chat loop' and providing a 'better tool' for LLMs to interact with websites reliably.
The agent-browser-protocol (ABP) directly tackles a fundamental reliability challenge in AI agent development: the problem of agents reasoning from stale browser states. By forking Chromium and implementing a mechanism to freeze JavaScript execution and rendering after every agent action, ABP ens...

A vanilla JavaScript refinery simulator, a 5-minute browser game visualizing downstream operations and chemical processes like electrostatic desalting, fractional distillation, hydrotreating, catalytic cracking, and gasoline blending.

An educational, interactive browser game built by a chemical engineer to explain complex refinery operations and chemistry to a lay audience (including kids) without oversimplifying the science, demonstrating the power of LLMs for non-developers.
This submission, while a personal "Show HN," offers profound market and technical insights, particularly regarding the evolving landscape of AI-assisted development. The core product—a sophisticated vanilla JavaScript refinery simulator—demonstrates the burgeoning trend of LLMs empowering non-dev...
