Project Syncable CLI -

Analysis Engine, made to engineers get a quick overview of their codebase, security scannings, vulenrability checks and dependency checks.

It also comes with skills giving Claude Code/Codex/Gemini build in native linting capabilities for Dockerfiles, Helm charts, k8s manifest alongside validation and assessment capabilities.

Still early days but would love some extra hands!



Why not both ?


Neeeeveeeer!!! please let macbooks be as they are .. why would I ever choose to put fingers on that beautful screen ... I don't get it!

I'm not sure, but bare in mind that the iPad is almost as large of a market as the Mac at this point, and the iPhone has long surpassed Mac revenue. Touching your computer is a very popular sentiment among the grimy-handed public.


There is a reason why the MacBook hasn't been replaced by an iPad with a keyboard and trackpad attached to it. Very different use case.


You're right. Those are completely separate millions of dollars to be made. Best not let them overlap at all, even if some of us intuitively touch our laptop screens to scroll a window now and then, especially when carrying it around.


They overlap plenty where it makes sense. There was a time where Mac users were worried that Apple was going to merge MacOS and IpadOS. Nobody wants that.


What is that reason? Clearly Apple can put desktop chips in the iPad, their desktop apps already support ARM, and the iPad hardware can absolutely run macOS. What is the advantage of iPadOS, instantially?


The advantage of iPadOS is that Mimi and Papa have a harder time breaking it.


Yes if you operate with worktrees, its actually possible to operate up to 5-10 at least I've succeeded with that multiple times.

I think whats important is, that you keep atomical small tasks and increments, and whenever possible merge things. to many hanging worktrees can quickly also become a nightmare managing


Do you manage worktrees manually or leave it to Agent?


Leave it to the agent tbh, I spend more time on testing the worktrees - but even agents can do that for you - or if you add playwright MCP, make TDD both on frontend/backend and e2e pipelines - merge when cases work and tests approved


Clever engineering. But worth thinking about before you actually use it.

The pitch is "use Claude Code without Anthropic limits." What's actually happening is you're getting GPT/Codex responses dressed up to look like Claude. Those are different models with different failure modes. If you picked Claude Code because you trust how Claude reasons about your code, this swaps it out silently. No indication at the UI level.

The ToS angle is what I'd worry about more. Anthropic isn't being hurt here, they're not serving the requests. But OpenAI is, under a Codex subscription that definitely wasn't priced for "act as someone else's backend." Using your ChatGPT sub as a proxy for a third party product is the kind of thing that gets your account killed. Could also expose you to liability, depending on how seriously OpenAI wants to push it.

The project's own disclaimer says something about how use "may be subject to the terms of service of third party platforms." That one sentence is doing a heroic amount of work.

If the real complaint is that Claude's API is too expensive, fair enough. But this doesn't solve that. It just shifts the bill and the risk onto OpenAI's infra and your account.


In what settings do you mean - there are multiple strategies, I think building your own compaction layer in front seems a bit over-kill ? have you considered implementing some cache strategy, otherwise summary pipelines - I made once an agent which based on the messages routed things to a smaller model for compaction / summaries to bring down the context, for the main agent.

But also ensuring you start new fresh context threads, instead of banging through a single one untill your whole feature is done .. working in small atomic incrementals works pretty good


yes, compaction and smaller models help on cost per step.

But my issue wasn’t just inefficiency, it was agents retrying when they shouldn’t.

I needed visibility + limits per agent/task, and the ability to cut it off, not just optimize it.


I'm working on a fun project I call OpenFAST, which essentially tries to solve the context transitioning - but its still in early days and haven't released anything yet.

I think one of the bigger issues, is the o(n) orchestration to agent calls that often feels uncontrolled .. ending up making the orchestrator of sub-agents the main bottleneck due to the large context it sometimes ends up with.

I'm working on an idea where agents delivers briefs & deliveres as real artifacts, and then having each spawned sub-agent read briefs, and if they need further information pick up the delivery for that specific brief.

It helps drift detection across agents, and the best part is orchestrator only delegates jobs, but doesn't do much further than that.

Whenever sub-agents has delivered their tasks, orchestrator can then read a merged brief/delivery for that specific round.

So far it helps cutting that extra tool call where each sub-agent answers the orchestrator - but it also helps the orchestrator only dwelve into deliveries which it believes are relevant rather than trying to understand and comprehend every small detail.

I can share more when I'm a bit further maybe you could get some inspiration here.


This is interesting and I would love to understand more on this..is there a GitHub which I can look at?

Here's something which would help you with another perspective on the contexts https://authority.bhaviavelayudhan.com/journal/35


I haven't published anything yet, its still an early PoC - Thanks will read this!


Well on time tbh. or at least some sort of better moderation, because there has really been some unfortunate cases imo


Couldn't agree more ... Especially how platforms like Stitch 2 are eliminating the barriers for non-technical individuals to actually get pretty decent UI/UX experience ..
