Description
hey guys, i wanted to show one of my side projects.The idea is a coding harness (independent of models) natively designed for C/C++ developer workflows.I'm a C++ dev and do not find claude code work well with C++ toolchain like gdb and perf. The current version has integrations for gdb, clang-tidy, cppcheck, sanitizers, perf, benchmarking, compile DB navigation, Godbolt, symbolization, binary inspection, and decompilation.It supports Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and self-hosted models. There are editor workflows for VS Code, CLion, emacs, neovim, and cursor.

Could you build this?
Partial The terminal CLI and LLM integration are simple, but reliably driving live GDB sessions via ptrace/GDB bridges and orchestrating low-level C++ toolchains requires deep systems work.
What it would actually take: Requires a terminal harness written in Rust or Go that communicates with GDB via GDB/MI (Machine Interface) or a custom GDB Python extension over a local socket, bypassing single-tracer Linux kernel ptrace locks. It must parse compiler diagnostics, ASan/UBSan traces, and perf outputs into structured tool contexts for the LLM. Doing this safely without deadlocking processes or corrupting memory state requires deep Linux systems programming and debugging internals expertise.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
