Tadpole is a from-scratch agent in 3,500 lines of Python, with LoRA adapters that teach Qwen3-4B tool use

Shown on HN Oct 31 under MIT, the framework-free agent handles files, shell, web search and session compaction from a terminal or Telegram, on any OpenAI-compatible API or a local Qwen3-4B, and its repo logs each build stage with tests and measurements. Its released adapters lift Qwen3-4B from 0.419 to 0.774 pass@1 on held-out task types, but that's the author's own 140-task benchmark measured only inside Tadpole's harness (adapter).

unslop is an open skill that strips the vibecoded look from AI-built UIs in Claude Code and Codex

New this week under CC BY 4.0, /unslop this dashboard audits a screen for purple gradients, glows, emoji labels, shouty copy and uneven spacing, proposes a direction from your product, then waits for approval before fixing it in nine passes from spacing to motion, on code or a live URL. It asks before any paid image generation, and can render a short before and after story video if you install Playwright and ffmpeg (walkthrough)…

Archwhere puts every coding-agent PR on an architecture map that the agents keep up to date

Shown on HN Oct 31 under MIT, npx archwhere init drafts a one file architecture.json from your repo, a GitHub Action comments each PR with the components and security zones it touches, and archwhere check fails CI when files go unmapped, with check fix and a SKILL.md so agents maintain the map themselves. npx archwhere mission adds a local UI where component threads become GitHub issues your agent answers, and only you can merge…

Imza, a C++ coding agent, gives the model a single Lua tool and splits work into plan, build and review

Shown on HN Oct 31, the account free agent drafts a shared spec in plan mode, implements it in build mode and lets you annotate code in review mode to send revisions back, with every file action going through Lua scripts whose C++ bindings pass a permission layer. Its author says it supports 50+ providers including OpenAI subscriptions and local models, handles MCP, skills and instruction files, and starts at 8 to 11 MB of RAM (site)…

GitHub Copilot adds connect-once MCP connectors for 26 services, in public preview

Rolling out since Oct 28 on all Copilot plans, GitHub verified MCP servers like Slack, Figma, Notion, Sentry, Linear, Cloudflare and Vercel need one sign in (in Copilot CLI, /mcp then the Connectors tab) and then work across the Copilot app, CLI, VS Code, cloud sessions and GitHub Mobile with nothing to install. On Business and Enterprise, an admin must enable the Editor preview features policy, and orgs with an MCP allowlist must add these servers to it…

GitHub Changelog

Google Workspace MCP servers will reject OAuth clients not marked as AI agents from Nov 11

If your agent calls the Gmail, Drive, Docs, Calendar or Chat MCP servers, tick "Use this client for an AI powered agent" on its OAuth client in Google Auth Platform Clients before Nov 11, when unmarked clients start getting rejected. After Nov 12 the setting locks, so a missed client means creating a new agentic one and updating your MCP config; REST only apps aren't affected (setup guide)…
