Ask HN: Cursor or Windsurf?
I am betting on myself.
I built a minimal agentic framework (with editing capability) that works for a lot of my tasks with just seven tools: read, write, diff, browse, command, ask and think.
One thing I'm proud of is the ability to have it be more proactive by just disabling the `ask` tool.
I won't say it is better than any of the VSCode forks, but it works for 70% of my tasks in an understandable manner. As for the remaining stuff, I can always use Cursor/Windsurf in a complementary manner.
It is open, have a look at https://github.com/aperoc/toolkami if it interests you.

Nobody Codes Here Anymore
Changing my old coding behavior aside, biggest limiting factor for me is understanding how and why the coding agent is doing this a certain way, so that I have the confidence to continually sharpen my tools.
I want something simple that I have full control on, if not just to understand how they work. So I made a minimal coding agent (with edit capability) that is fully functional using only seven tools: read, write, diff, browse, command, ask, and think.
As an example, I can just disable `ask` tool to have it easily go full autonomous on certain tasks. Or, ask it to `think` for refactoring.
Have a look at https://github.com/aperoc/toolkami to see if it might be useful for you.

Seven tools is all you need. Open source AI agent
Hi HN,
This is an agent framework I'm using myself for coding and various tasks. AI has gotten good enough that it can do a lot of tasks given simple but right tools which are composable.
These seven tools are most of what I need to get work done: read, write, diff, browse, command, ask, think.
Just looking to share and hope others find it useful, check it out at https://github.com/aperoc/toolkami.
