Today's Picks
Boffin — Putting a Leash on AI Coding Agents
If you've used Cursor or Claude Code, you know the pain: you ask for a 15-line fix, and the agent rewrites the entire file. The tests pass, the code compiles, but your diff went from 15 lines to 500.
Boffin is a lightweight control layer that runs on top of your AI coding agent. Before making changes, it feeds the agent only the architectural constraints relevant to the file being modified — not the entire project context. This keeps edit scopes tight and prevents the "fix one bug, refactor three modules" problem.
It supports Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and other agents, with configurable strictness profiles. Teams can set different profiles for different developers — some prefer strict constraints, others trust the agent's judgement.
OpenSlides — Code Presentations That Flow Like Keynote
One of the most awkward moments in a tech talk: switching to your IDE to show code, only to realize the font is too small and there's no smooth transition. OpenSlides is a free, open-source desktop app built specifically for animated code presentations.
Built with Tauri + Svelte5, it's native-performance and works offline. Features Magic Move transitions (the smooth animation effect from Keynote), 16 syntax themes, step-by-step code highlighting, and autoplay mode for recordings.
As an open-source alternative to CodeSlides.app, it already has 123 GitHub stars and solid community feedback since its release on July 17.
Uploads.sh — The Missing Piece in Agent Workflows
AI coding agents can write code, run tests, and open PRs. But there's a problem nobody talks about: where do all those screenshots the agent took go?
The typical scenario: your agent captures UI screenshots during work, dumps them in temp directories, and when you review the PR, you have no idea the screenshots even exist. Uploads.sh fixes this.
It's a lightweight upload gateway that automatically uploads screenshots as the agent works, staging them on the branch. When the PR opens, everything shows up in one tidy attachments comment. Supports Cloudflare R2 and self-hosted options, with MCP protocol integration. It essentially adds "auto-screenshot-and-archive" to your agent workflow.
