Show HN: TUI to keep track of local GSD (get-shit-done) projects

Hacker News - Tue, 05/26/2026 - 3:12pm

GSD is great for project management making it possible to run multiple projects at once. My multi-tasking skills can't keep up at the same pace, hence a utility to help me keep track of the projects.

cargo install gsd-meta-manager

TUI for: - GSD milestone and phase progress - git history - open milestones - backlog - browser for the GSD markdown artifacts - tmux support to quickly jump into the project's running claude instance

All feedback, improvements, PR and questions are welcome.

Show HN: Monkdev is a toolkit and methodology for coding with LLMs

Hacker News - Tue, 05/26/2026 - 3:08pm

I'm sure many people have some solutions similar to this but I've been using some variation of this since roughly the release of Opus 3 to get higher quality results. Like, significantly higher. So I decided to make it into a more structured package.

Problem: bad decisions and short sighted solutions due to the LLM not having enough context before acting. They'd read one file, or a few segments of a set of files using a super conservative offset and limit, guess about the rest, apply a patch, run a unit test and then tell you with its entire chest that the code is production-ready.

Those bandaids over time became debt, drift, complexity. Unnecessary LOC in a codebase where I find myself wondering is this thing even making me more efficient or should I be in VIM more often and just save myself the API costs (I use OpenCode + OpenRouter and have been known to blast through hundreds of dollars a day in spend using Frontier models).

I found that, for whatever reason, LLMs respond to role-play strongly vs just repeating rules using increasingly alarming markdown context decorators. And so I created a persona for it that is pretty funny when I explain it to someone else but has been really effective.

`monkdev` gives the LLM tools to get enough context before writing any code, it helps you to front-load the context window. This is a more expensive approach, on paper, but the money saved through efficient workflow has definitely worked out for me so I figured I would share it with others.

The main workflow after installing the MCP is just to type `meditate` in a fresh session. If you want to ingest a certain area of the code specifically, `meditate on ` and it will use the tooling provided to aggressively read files. It will confirm the token count and confirm with you before it starts just aggressively `cat`ing your entire project.

It's quite opinionated in terms of structure with Bun and Rust mono-repo projects so if you find it useful fork it and plug in your own preferences. I wanted to avoid making the system prompt too long since I've found that it loses significance in the behavior of the agent if it is over a certain size.

I'm also interested to know if anyone is using something similar or if it can be made to be more efficient.
