Show HN: Emdash – Open-source agentic development environment Hey HN! We’re Arne and Raban, the founders of Emdash ([https://github.com/generalaction/emdash][1]). Emdash is an open-source and provider-agnostic desktop app that lets you run multiple coding agents in parallel, each isolated in its own git worktree, either locally or over SSH on a remote machine. We call it an Agentic Development Environment (ADE). You can see a 1 minute demo here: [ We are building Emdash for ourselves. While working on a cap-table management application (think Stripe Atlas + Pulley), we found our development workflow to be messy: lots of terminals, lots of branches, and too much time spent waiting on Codex. Emdash puts the terminal at the center and makes it easy to run multiple agents at once. Each agent runs as a task in its own git worktree. You can start one or a few agents on the same problem, test, and review. Emdash works over SSH so you can run agents where your code lives and keep the parallel workflow. You can assign tickets to agents, edit files manually, and review changes. We also spent time making task startup fast. Each task can be created in a worktree, and creating worktrees on demand was taking 5s+ in some cases. We now keep a small reserve of worktrees in the background and let a new task claim one instantly. That brought task start time down to ~500–1000ms depending on the provider. We also spawn the shell directly and avoid loading the shell environments on startup. We believe using the providers’ native CLIs is the right approach. It gives you the full capabilities of each agent, always. If a provider starts supporting plan mode, we don't have to add that first. We support 21 coding agent CLIs today, including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Droid, Amp, Codebuff, and more. We auto-detect what you have installed and we’re provider-agnostic by design. If there’s a provider you want that we don’t support yet, we can add it. We believe that in the future, some agents will be better suited for task X and others for task Y. Codex, Claude Code, and Gemini all have fans. We want to be agnostic and enable individuals and teams to freely switch between them. Beyond orchestration, we try to pull most of the development loop into Emdash. You can review diffs, commit, open PRs, see CI/CD checks, and merge directly from Emdash once checks pass. When starting a task, you can pass issues from Linear, GitHub, and Jira to an agent. We also support convenience variables and lifecycle scripts so it’s easy to allocate ports and test changes. Emdash is fully open-source and MIT-licensed. Download for macOS, Linux or Windows (as of yesterday !), or install via Homebrew: brew install --cask emdash. We’d love your feedback. How does your coding agent development setup look like, especially when working with multiple agents? We would want to learn more about it. Check out our repository here: [https://github.com/generalaction/emdash][3] We’ll be around in the comments — thanks!

Show HN: Tag Promptless on any GitHub PR/Issue to get updated user-facing docs Hi HN! I'm Prithvi—my co-founder Frances and I launched Promptless almost a year ago here ([https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43092522][1]). It's an AI teammate that watches your workflows—code changes, support tickets, Slack threads, etc.—and automatically drafts doc updates when it spots something that should be documented. Frances and I really appreciated the feedback from our first launch. Today we’re launching Promptless 1.0, which addresses our biggest learnings from the last 12 months. I also made it way easier to try it out. You can tag @promptless on any open-source Github PR or Issue with a doc update request, and Promptless will create a fork and open a PR for your docs to help. Feel free to use our own docs as a playground: [https://github.com/Promptless/docs/issues][2] Or, you can sign up at [https://promptless.ai][3] to get free access for your own docs for the next 30 days. Here's a demo video: [ For me, the coolest part of the last year has been seeing how users got creative with Promptless. One user has Promptless listening in to all their Slack Connect channels, so whenever they answer a customer question, Promptless figures out if their docs should be updated and drafts an update if so. Another user has Promptless processing every customer meeting transcript and updating their internal docs after each meeting: customer dashboards, feature request pages, etc. Some of the biggest things that are new with version 1.0: - Automatically updating screenshots: this was by far our most requested feature. The need here was always clear. People would exclude screenshots from docs because they’d get stale quickly, *even though they knew screenshots would be helpful to users*. A year ago, we just couldn't ship a good enough solution, but given how much LLMs' visual grounding has improved in the last year, now we've got something we're proud of. - Slop-free writing: The most common critique on early Promptless suggestions was that even though they were accurate, they could sound generic or verbose, or might just reek of AI slop. Promptless 1.0 is 3.5x better at this (measured by voice-alignment compared to what users actually published), through a combination of fine-tuned models, sub-agents, and alignment on user-defined preferences. - Open-source program: We're especially proud of this—Promptless is now free for CNCF/Linux Foundation projects (reach out if you’re a maintainer!). You can take a look at how Promptless is supporting Vitess (a CNCF-graduated project) with their docs here: [https://github.com/vitessio/website/commits][5] Check it out and let us know if you have any questions, feedback, or criticism!
