Show HN: `npx subagent-reuse --setup` adds an MCP that scans ~/.claude/projects/, builds SHA-256 Merkle trees of files each subagent already read/modified, and route_task decides REUSE vs CREATE_NEW before spawn—structural overlap only, no embeddings; ~1k LOC JS + 52 tests.
Lighting (MIT, Windows) exposes your real logged-in browser and desktop apps to Claude Code / Codex plugins or any MCP client as compact text element refs instead of screenshots — claimed ~440 tokens for a page look vs ~15,850 with screenshots (~97% less), one-line click results (~13–53 tokens). Self-learning routines; 135/135 selftest badge on the repo. Alternative to vision-heavy computer-use loops when you already have local logins.
Open-source mcp-router sits between Claude Code and many MCP servers: find_tools / call_tool / run_script stand in for hundreds of tools; on a 441-tool fleet vs six other proxies it finished 6/6 tasks at −29% tokens while peers often used more tokens or failed—Show HN + public BENCHMARK.md.
SuperCompress v2 compresses context against the query (keeps answer-critical lines verbatim): ~64% mean cut on their B5 coding-agent suite with 24/24 evidence-retention passes; MCP/plugin for Cursor/Claude Code/Codex plus hosted API and open weights.
Thesys’s OpenUI hit 1.0 (Oct 15): models stream OpenUI Lang into your registered React components (cards/forms/charts); Lang 1.0 adds defineAction/defineFunction, library.extend, and stored messages; CLI scaffolds apps and setup-agent writes AGENTS.md for Claude Code/Codex/Cursor—vendor tiktoken bench claims ~53% fewer tokens vs JSON-render formats.
HN (Ted Haley): Pensieve locally indexes code, docs, and past agent sessions (watches repos/worktrees/uncommitted edits), exposes MCP search so Claude Code/Codex/Cursor get the few relevant passages with file:line instead of multi-round grep; Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B + SQLite/trigram + turbovec; macOS-focused OSS.
