The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Sonia. Local AI Assistant Linux. 13Gb RAM, No GPU, Skills Supported · score 7.3

  Sonia is a local, GPU-free voice assistant that combines LLM, streaming ASR/TTS, and VAD into a full-duplex barge-in capable agent running in under 15 GB RAM. Its layered turn detection (Silero VAD + Silence + Smart Turn + LLM judge) and tool-gated function calling are notable engineering choices for running small local models reliably.

• Show HN: Manage Skills, Memories, and Agents.md Files Across Tools and Projects · score 7.0

  SkillHub Local is a local dashboard that unifies the management of AI coding agent context—skills, memories, instructions, plugins, and MCP servers—across 18 different tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. It solves the fragmentation of agent configurations by providing a single interface to view, edit, copy, and clean up context files, with real-time updates and secure local authentication.

• Show HN: An AI workspace with shared procedural memory as reusable skills · score 6.8

  CleanSlate is an AI workspace built on a VS Code fork that integrates agents, chats, a browser, terminals, and file review, with an optional shared procedural memory system called MuscleMemory that learns reusable skills from verified agent work and shares them across connected agents. The idea of cross-agent procedural memory with verification and approval is a genuinely interesting combination, though the heavy dependency on a separate service and the single-platform release limit its immediate utility.

• Show HN: Skill-spotter, auto detect agent prompts and commands to create skills · score 6.8

  skill-spotter is a Claude Code plugin that detects repeated tasks and instructions across sessions by matching both prompts and Claude's actions, then offers to save them as reusable skills or CLAUDE.md rules. It runs locally with a privacy-conscious SQLite store and uses a template-based similarity matcher to suggest skills without token overhead.
