Its a shame Pierre shut down. Wish they could have made it work. Github but made by Linear would be a dream.

Pierre didn't shutdown, they said they just paused signups on the code review app to focus on the code storage service.

Productizing the building blocks of the platform seems like the smart play in today's environment honestly.

> Spec-driven development is becoming the primary driver of code generation. This sounds like my current "phase" of AI coding. I have had so many project ideas for years that I can just spec out, everything I've thought about, all the little ideas and details, things I only had time to think about, never implement. I then feed it to Claude, and watch it meet my every specification, I can then test it, note any bugs,…

I am going lower level - every individual work item is a "task.md" file, starts initially as a user ask, then add planning, and then the agent checks gates "[ ]" on each subtask as it works through it. In the end the task files remain part of the project, documenting work done. I also keep an up to date mind map for the whole project to speed up start time.

And I use git hooks on the tool event to print the current open gate (subtask) from task.md so the agent never deviates from the plan, this is important if you use yolo mode. It might be an original technique I never heard anyone using it. A stickie note in the tool response, printed by a hook, that highlights the current task and where is the current task.md located. I have seen stretches of 10 or 15 minutes of good work done this way with no user intervention. Like a "Markdown Turing Machine".

disclosure: i run a startup that will most likely be competitive in the future. I welcome more innovation in the code forge space but if you’re looking for an oss alternative just for tracking agent sessions with your commits you should checkout agentblame https://github.com/mesa-dot-dev/agentblame

Entire CEO here. We are going to be building in the open and full stack open source, but great to see alternatives.
