When building AI agents, I found myself struggling to understand what exactly is happening inside of all of our traces. I was pasting huge JSON files to my AI agent to parse and get some useful insights from it. Then I thought, Webpack bundle visualizer had this great view to see all your dependencies - what if we could visualize AI context from traces like this? So I built unbox-ai. It's just one command: npx unbox-ai trace.json It also ships with an agent skill so your AI agent doesn't need to parse through a huge JSON file to analyze a trace. Let me know what you think!

mcpd is a way to expose sandbox environments as MCP servers using just configuration. In the repo, I have some example config files that mimic popular coding harness tools. I've been using it to give my cloud agents code search tools on private repos I manage. I have a script that syncs project code to the sandbox on deploy and I can connect it to my cloud agents and debug in Slack. It's awesome in combination with the Sentry MCP. I'm working on a secure way to have the agent open up PRs too. My general thesis is the agent loop should be unprivileged and run remotely and tool execution should…

And if you choose to run it in the desktop app or pre-upload it to your imagebed to generate a url, it makes things complex-especially when you just want to extract things from some long screenshots by uploading, scripting automatically and getting the results smoothly in your phone. Tired of this, I try to build a skill that could be easily added into ChatGPT mobile apps…

It generates short stories built around your target words you are learning, and uses vocabulary you already know for the majority of the story (around 95%). As you read along you click any word you don't know and it puts them into a spaced repetition system (SRS) to appear in future generated stories. It does need an account to work. I have a short on-boarding…
