    This is why I built Metaswarm and Metareview and why they work so well, and the are building and supporting production infrastructures and sites for months on end. Give them a try:…

    Just got an alert that we would owe $12 Billion. BILLION. After getting me out of bed and a breathless 15 minutes of investigation, I found: https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/st…

    I have been helping people get onboarded with Claude Code and the orchestrator I wrote called Metaswarm [1) and the response has been way beyond my expectations. But don't take my …

    A few weeks ago I posted about GoodToGo https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46656759 - a tool that gives AI agents a deterministic answer to "is this PR ready to merge?" Several p…

    Some github comments are marked as sctionable, some have threads and suggestions, some are suggestions or are nitpicks. This provides you with a deterministic, reliable red/green a…

    Yeah, it is about making sure that EVERY actionable PR comment gets addressed - whwther by fixing, resolving, creating a new issue, commenting that it is a will not fix, or blockin…

    Just to be clear - the hook is deterministic, but the subagent running with an mcp server loaded is not - and for medium/large PRs, it can run out of context window or just forget …

    I found that it has improved overall code quality significantly, at the cost of somewhat slower velocity. But it has meant fewer interruptions where the ai is just waiting for me, …

    Lol, I thought it did a reasonably good job, but to each their own - this was the difference between releasing the project so others could use it with decent documentation, or not …

    Exactly right!

    No, it just prepares the PR - it doesn't automatically merge. That would be very dangerous, imho!

    Comment #46662741

    That's EXACTLY right. Ready to merge is an important gate, but it is very stupid to just merge everything without further checks/testing by a human!

    Comment #46662732

    Right! It doesn't assume that all comments are actionable, or need to be worked on. However, if you allow anyone to comment on your PRs, it could be a malicious vector. So don't le…

    That's why I intentionally don't have this hooked into an ingest flow - you still get control over what issues/stories you want the agent swarm to work on... Just now, I can know t…

    Yup! Software engineers aren't going to be out of work anytime soon, but I'm acting more like a CTO or VPE with a team of agents now, rather than just a single dev with a smart int…

    Comment #46662665

    Sure, but that mcp still missed actionable comments that are marked as Out of Scope or Outside the PR - and this doesn't require having the context window loss of having another mc…

    Comment #46657105

    I did! The issue however, is having a clear, deterministic method of defining when the code review was 'done'. So the hooks can fire off subagents, but they are non-deterministic a…

    Show HN: I built a tool to assist AI agents to know when a PR is good to go

    I've been using Claude Code heavily, and kept hitting the same issue: the agent would push changes, respond to reviews, wait for CI... but never really know when it was done. It wo…
