Show HN: Research-Backed Multi-Agent System for Autonomous Development

Hey HN, author here. Loki Mode orchestrates specialized AI agents to take a PRD to deployed product with zero human intervention. But what I'm most proud of is the research foundation - we implemented virtually every scientifically proven pattern from the 2025-2026 AI agent literature. From Anthropic: Constitutional AI self-critique against principles Building Effective Agents evaluator-optimizer pattern Claude Code Best Practices explore-plan-code workflow Visible Extended Thinking (think, think hard, ultrathink levels) Effective Harnesses one-feature-at-a-time pattern From DeepMind: SIMA 2 self-improvement loops Gemini Robotics hierarchical reasoning (planner + executor) Scalable AI Safety debate-based verification From OpenAI: Agents SDK tracing, guardrails, tripwires Deep Research adaptive planning with backtracking AGENTS.md standard

ized instructions From Academic Research: CONSENSAGENT (ACL 2025): Blind review + Devil's Advocate when unanimous. 30% false positive reduction. GoalAct: Global planning → skill decomposition → local execution. 12%+ success rate improvement. A-Mem: Zettelkasten-style memory linking for episodic→semantic consolidation. Multi-Agent Reflexion: Structured debate (Implementer → Skeptic → Advocate → Synthesizer). Iter-VF: Verify answer only, not reasoning chain. Prevents context overflow. From Industry: NVIDIA ToolOrchestra: Three-reward signal (outcome/efficiency/preference), dynamic agent selection AWS Bedrock: Routing mode for simple tasks, supervisor mode for complex Boris Cherny's self-verification loop (2-3x quality improvement) Simon Willison's sub-agents for context isolation From HN discussions: "Zero companies without human in the loop" → confidence-based escalation Context curation beats automatic RAG Fresh contexts yield better results LLM-as-judge has shared blind spots → deterministic validation The full acknowledgements with links to every paper/resource: https://github.com/asklokesh/claudeskill-loki-mode/blob/main...

Show HN: Loki Mode hit 99.67% SWE-Bench – MAF built a SaaS overnight

Last month I shared Loki Mode here. Since then, benchmarks came back. SWE-Bench: 99.67% (299/300 problems) HumanEval: 98.78% Pass@1 (162/164) For context, most single-agent systems hit 30-50%. Best proprietary ones hover around 70-80%. The difference is architecture. 37 specialized agent types across 6 swarms (engineering, ops, business, data, product, growth). Parallel 3-reviewer code review. Feedback loops that actually learn. To stress test it, I pointed it at a blank folder and said "build a ServiceNow replacement." It ran for 19 hours and built FireLater - complete ticket management, workflows, CMDB, knowledge base, self-service portal. I wrote zero lines of code. New in this version: - Kanban board to visualize agent actions in real-time - Perpetual improvement via self-healing feedback loops - Smarter swarm coordination Still open
