Show HN: Project management system for Claude Code (Score: 150+ in 14 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6A2VL
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6A2VL
I built a lightweight project management workflow to keep AI-driven development organized.
The problem was that context kept disappearing between tasks. With multiple Claude agents running in parallel, I’d lose track of specs, dependencies, and history. External PM tools didn’t help because syncing them with repos always created friction.
The solution was to treat GitHub Issues as the database. The "system" is ~50 bash scripts and markdown configs that:
- Brainstorm with you to create a markdown PRD, spins up an epic, and decomposes it into tasks and syncs them with GitHub issues
- Track progress across parallel streams
- Keep everything traceable back to the original spec
- Run fast from the CLI (commands finish in seconds)
We’ve been using it internally for a few months and it’s cut our shipping time roughly in half. Repo: https://github.com/automazeio/ccpm
It’s still early and rough around the edges, but has worked well for us. I’d love feedback from others experimenting with GitHub-centric project management or AI-driven workflows.

Show HN: I replaced vector databases with Git for AI memory (PoC) (Score: 150+ in 9 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6A5NY
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6A5NY
Hey HN! I built a proof-of-concept for AI memory using Git instead of vector databases.
The insight: Git already solved versioned document management. Why are we building complex vector stores when we could just use markdown files with Git's built-in diff/blame/history?
How it works:
Memories stored as markdown files in a Git repo
Each conversation = one commit
git diff shows how understanding evolves over time
BM25 for search (no embeddings needed)
LLMs generate search queries from conversation context
Example: Ask "how has my project evolved?" and it uses git diff to show actual changes in understanding, not just similarity scores.
This is very much a PoC - rough edges everywhere, not production ready. But it's been working surprisingly well for personal use. The entire index for a year of conversations fits in ~100MB RAM with sub-second retrieval.
The cool part: You can git checkout to any point in time and see exactly what the AI knew then. Perfect reproducibility, human-readable storage, and you can manually edit memories if needed.

Stack: Python, GitPython, rank-bm25, OpenRouter for LLM orchestration. MIT licensed.
Would love feedback on the approach. Is this crazy or clever? What am I missing that will bite me later?
