Free SAST for private repos — no per-developer seat tax

GitHub CodeQL is free for public repos. For private repos it's $49/committer/month. Snyk is $25/dev. Semgrep is $40/dev plus AI credits per finding. machin-secure is free — for private repos too, no enterprise plan required, no per-developer seat tax, your code never leaves your CI. Here's what it is, what it isn't, and why I built it.

I Built a Security Auditor for AI Agents. It Has No AI Inside.

machin-secure scans a codebase for secrets, injection, and weak crypto and streams JSONL findings. The interesting part isn't the scanner — it's that it has no LLM client, no report generator, and no sandbox. The calling agent already is the model.

peage Shapes the x402 Fiat Binding — A Production Rail Joins the Spec

peage is a live fiat pay-per-call rail for agents — prepaid wallets, Stripe funding, signed receipts, no crypto. When the x402 foundation drafted a credit-backed binding for fiat API monetisation, peage was already running the shape they were specifying. Here's what happened when a production implementation met a spec in progress, and what the conversation produced.

Your CLI Should Update Itself

I have 6 servers running remotecmd daemons. Last week I spent 20 minutes manually updating each one to the latest version. That's stupid. So I implemented the cli-update-spec: rcmd update downloads, verifies, smoke-tests, and atomically swaps the binary. No SSH, no installer, no downtime. Here's how it works and why every CLI should do this.

Four Specs That Make Any CLI Agent-First

I ship a lot of CLIs — grepapi, mago, remotecmd, chatsnip, automaintainer. Each one needed the same four things: a way for agents to read its output, learn its model, report bugs, and update itself. So I wrote four tiny specs that any CLI can adopt in 30 minutes each.

Claude Artifacts, Unbundled: A Live URL for Every Agent's HTML

Terminal agents generate great HTML — dashboards, reports, mockups — and have nowhere to put it. hart turns a self-contained file into a live, versioned, sandboxed URL in one CLI call. Open-source, self-hosted, one static binary.

The CRM That Maintains Itself

Every CRM dies of stale data because humans won't do data entry. So I built the one you never open — an agent runs it, cold-mail and cold-calls send themselves, replies and call outcomes log themselves. One binary, open source, hosted from €19/mo.

a2a — When AI Agents Talk to Each Other

Most AI agent frameworks use a master-slave model — one orchestrator controls everything. a2a flips this: agents talk to each other as peers over a shared SQLite bus. No central command, no single point of failure, no dictatorial orchestrator.
