What Hacker News says
10 sourcesZerostack – An agent that's less sloppy than Elon's attempts
2 points · Open discussionWhat a bunch of slop: 182 top-level external dependencies (so, without considering nested dependencies) and 1318853 lines of code in Rust.
Building efficient agents is doable (I did it myself, github.com/gi-dellav/zerostack), companies just want to tokenmaxx, and as a by-product, produce and publish slop.
In Grok Build is open sourceSorry for self-insert, but that's exactly what I thought and I built https://github.com/gi-dellav/zerostack, so you are right I'd say

3 points · Open discussionI wrote a bunch of prompts for my own coding agent zerostack ( https://gi-dellav.github.io/zerostack/ ), and published a blogpost on our Prompts system ( https://rocketup.pages.dev/posts/alternative-to-skills/ ).
You can try to download the MD files from the source code https://github.com/gi-dellav/zerostack/tree/main/prompts and then load them into another coding agent
