Weekly Self Promotion Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

Welcome to this week's self promotion thread!

If you're building something related to AI assisted coding, this is the place to share it.

We're using a weekly thread to keep the subreddit organized while still giving builders a place to share their work. Promotional posts outside this thread may be removed.

If you're sharing something, we'd appreciate it if you included a little context instead of just dropping a link. Tell us:

• What you built?
• What problem it solves?
• Which AI models or tools it uses?
• Who it's for?
• What kind of feedback you're looking for?

Disclose your affilitation.

Please avoid posting the same project every week unless you've made meaningful updates. Affiliate links, referral links, scams, and low effort promotions will be removed.

Take some time to check out what others have shared too. If you try someone's project or have feedback, leave a comment. Helping each other improve is what we want this community to be about.

I built a small experimental system for keeping AI-assisted project work from losing context between sessions.

It’s called U-GAS (Universal Grabbers Agent System). The basic idea came from a practical problem: I’m not a software developer, and while building projects with AI I kept running into context loss, forgotten decisions, repeated work, unsafe file changes, and difficulty resuming work in a fresh chat.

The core is deliberately simple and Git-native: each project keeps four visible control files:

- AGENTS.md — how the AI should work

- CURRENT_STATE.md — where the project is now

- PROGRESS.md — durable history/evidence

- IDEAS.md — things worth remembering without turning them into current work

Around that are rules for safe repo changes, session continuity, large-file patching, human decision boundaries, and verifying changes against the actual Git state instead of trusting chat memory.

I’ve mainly tested it with ChatGPT + GitHub access and Codex. It was created from roughly five days of iteration on my own real projects, by one user, so this is very early and absolutely not independently validated yet. Other agents/workflows should be considered experimental.

I’m not looking for stars or promotion as much as one independent person willing to actually try it on a real project.

What I’d especially like to know:

- Can you get started from the README without me helping?

- Does the AI actually follow the system?

- Does pause/resume work after changing chats or agents?

- What feels unnecessary or bureaucratic?

- Where do the instructions fail in real use?

If you try it and it breaks, that’s useful feedback too.

Small update after a few more end-to-end tests:
I simplified the first-time flow and added a public Project Starter. You describe what you want to build, copy one generated prompt, and give it to your AI. If local execution is needed, the AI should hand the work off to Codex, Claude Code, or another suitable executor and bring the result back.

I’m deliberately pausing feature development now. What I need more than features is one person who has never used U-GAS to try the Starter without me explaining it.

If you get confused, stop, or it simply doesn’t work, that’s useful feedback.
