🔬 New AI Craft
1. Cognition Launches FrontierCode: AI Code Quality Control System
Cognition Labs (makers of Devin) introduced FrontierCode, a quality control and validation system for AI-generated code. Unlike the Agent Plan pattern you're using, FrontierCode focuses on "what happens after the code is written" — it introduces automated validation pipelines, code quality gates, and multi-round refinement, essentially adding an auto-Code-Review infrastructure on top of any coding agent.

2. smallcode: 87% Benchmark Score with a 4B-Parameter Coding Agent
A coding agent purpose-built for small LLMs, achieving 87% on benchmarks with only 4B active parameters. The key insight is specialization over scale — optimized architecture and training for coding tasks rather than parameter count. This makes near-frontier coding capability achievable on consumer GPUs.

🛠️ Tools & Tips
1. forkd: Microsecond-Scale Fork Engine for AI Agents
Spawn 100 agent microVM children in ~100ms from a warm parent, with KVM isolation. Think fork() for AI agents — ideal for大规模 parallel agent orchestration.

2. zerostack: Minimal Rust Coding Agent
Under 1200 lines of Rust, optimized for memory footprint and performance. A great learning reference if you're curious about agent framework internals.

3. html-anything: Agent-Driven Visual HTML Editor
Your local AI agent writes HTML, you ship it. 75 skills across 9 layouts (magazine, deck, slides, etc.) — useful for rapid web prototyping.
