Curated GitHub repositories every AI agent should know.

The one-file vector store that runs anywhere SQLite runs spent its whole life doing exact brute-force scans. In 2026 an approximate index finally started landing — in alpha. Here's the honest call for a solo builder: what to ship now, and the exact point where you graduate to a hosted vector DB.

A stack trace tells you a normal service died. It tells you almost nothing about why an agent did the wrong thing. Here are the seven fields that turn 'the agent broke' into a fix — with a copy-paste record.

The Stack
GPT-5.6 can now write JavaScript that orchestrates your tools in a sandbox instead of round-tripping every call through its context. Here is when that saves you money — and when it just adds a layer.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
A founder decision the China persona law just forced — the case for renting the memory layer, the case for owning it, and the one line that settles it for a team of one.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
One buys you a marketplace, one is a proxy you run, one wraps the providers you already use. Here's how a founder picks where to put the LLM control plane in 2026.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
All three are Postgres, and two of them are literally the same engine. Choose by what surrounds the database — a lakehouse, a bare provisioning API, or a full app backend — not by the query planner.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
Your agent runs for 30 seconds behind a dead spinner. Stream a live activity feed from the tool and step events it already emits, and the wait feels fast and honest.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
Run one self-hosted LiteLLM proxy that mints a capped API key per customer, enforces rate limits, and tracks cost per key over a Postgres database.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
A hands-on walkthrough of the free, MIT-licensed toolkit that turns a vague feature idea into a spec, a plan, a task list, and working code — with the exact commands, in order, for Claude Code, Copilot, or Cursor.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
The classic 'five whys' assumes a deterministic chain. An agent that fails at temperature 0.7 breaks that assumption. Here's a postmortem template built for non-deterministic systems — blameless, reproducible, and shippable.

The Stack
Tiered model routing only saves money if the cheap model handles most of your traffic. Most teams route by vibes and never check. Here's the small eval that turns 'Haiku is probably fine' into a number you can trust before it hits production.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
Background agents now hand you finished draft PRs instead of confirmation prompts. Reviewing agent code isn't like reviewing a junior's — the failure modes cluster around plausible-but-wrong, not obviously-unfinished. Here's the checklist that targets exactly those.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
Tokens-per-second and price-per-token are vanity metrics. The number you actually pay is dollars per SUCCESSFUL task, including retries and failed attempts. Here's a copy-paste harness that logs it, in about 60 lines.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
A code-first walkthrough — model agent memory as provider-neutral JSON, ship /memory/export and /memory/import, and satisfy GDPR Article 20 and China's persona law with the same endpoint.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
max_tokens caps one response, not a whole run. Here's the small cost-accumulator pattern that caps an agent in dollars across mixed models.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
Signup confirmations and password resets die in spam because your domain is unauthenticated — three DNS records and a real sending provider fix that for good.

The Stack
Emergent just became a unicorn selling non-technical founders production software from a prompt. Before you run your company on one, run this six-point export-and-ownership audit.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
A practical pattern for metering every LLM call per user, enforcing a dollar budget before the call fires, and tripping a kill-switch before one customer runs up a catastrophic invoice.

The Stack
Enterprise runtime-control planes cost a procurement cycle. The primitive they're built on — an interception point plus a hard stop — is about forty lines of Python. Here's the minimal version, framework-agnostic.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
GPT-5.6 can spawn and synthesize a swarm of subagents inside a single API call — no orchestration code. That's a gift for prototypes and a trap for anything you need to observe, checkpoint, or route across models.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
Three cheap 'workhorse' tiers, decided on the only axis a founder pays: cost per completed task, not price per token. With the sticker prices, the token-efficiency multipliers that override them, and the one benchmark you should run before you switch a default.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
As of v2.1.198, a background agent that finishes work in a worktree commits, pushes, and opens a draft PR on its own. The real change isn't 'agents can git push' — it's that async agent work stopped being a queue of confirmation prompts and became a queue of reviewable drafts.

Prompt-to-app platforms hit unicorn scale by selling software to people who can't code. Nobody priced the maintenance tail. Here's the checklist that keeps a generated codebase from becoming a liability.

A free, fast static analyzer you drop into CI in an afternoon. It reads patterns that look like source code, flags the security flaws AI generators leave behind, and — in the free tier — catches leaked secrets and vulnerable dependencies too.
🎧 Listen
The Stack
An AI agent that dies mid-tool-call and forgets everything isn't a product — it's a demo. Durable execution is the layer that makes an agent survive crashes, day-long approval waits, and retries without re-charging your credit card. Here's which of the three engines fits which team.

The Berkeley team behind the 14-million-download open-source project just took a seed round from Lux. Here's what SkyPilot actually does, who it's for, how to start in one command, and the honest line on when it's overkill.

Migrating off the handshake isn't the hard part — proving you didn't leave a hidden session dependency is. Here's a 50-line test that fails loudly if you did.

Ephemeral code execution is not a persistent workspace. Three persistence models decide whether your agent's multi-day run survives — and founders keep confusing them.

OpenAI now sells voice agents two ways — a managed, contact-sales platform (Presence) and self-service primitives you assemble yourself. The right answer isn't the newer one; it's the one that matches what you're actually optimizing for.

Sandboxes run your agent's code for seconds; your API, worker, and Postgres have to stay up for months — that's a different platform decision.
