The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Make AI coding agents verify its own work · score 8.3

  Reticle is a dev-only SDK and MCP server that lets AI coding agents verify their work by driving the running app and reading network, state, console, and source-level evidence. It returns pass/fail/unknown verdicts with file:line locations, and supports deterministic replayable flows plus CI gating. It addresses the common problem of agents declaring success without checking, filling a clear gap in AI-assisted development workflows.

• Show HN: Pacer – will your AI coding subscription last until the reset? · score 7.0

  Pacer is a macOS menu-bar app that projects whether your AI coding subscriptions (Claude, Codex, Cursor, etc.) will last until their reset by showing usage speed rather than raw percentages. It fits per-model usage weights from local transcripts and provides actionable advice, notifications, and a JSON API for other tools.

• Show HN: Rashomon – An independent execution record for AI coding agents · score 7.0

  Rashomon is an independent execution recorder for Claude Code that logs every tool call and file edit, then cross-checks the agent's own summary against its recorded actions to surface discrepancies and hidden subagent work. It is interesting because it treats agent honesty as a verifiable, out-of-band audit problem rather than trusting the transcript the agent writes about itself.

• Show HN: UsageAtlas(OSS), All your AI coding usage insights. One beautiful view · score 7.0

  UsageAtlas is a desktop dashboard that aggregates AI coding usage data from 14 different tools, tracking tokens, requests, costs, and remaining allowances in one place. It reads local data from tools like Codex, Claude, Cursor, and others, with an optional cloud sync for backup. The project stands out for its broad provider coverage, privacy-first local tracking, and polished cross-platform Electron app.
