ProofRun – a local verification receipt for AI coding agents

ProofRun is an open-source CLI that turns an AI coding agent's claim that 'tests pass' into a locally checkable receipt: each check result is bound to a cryptographic fingerprint of the exact code state, and only real subprocess exit codes produce PASS/FAIL/STALE/NOT RUN. It is fully offline, uses no LLM, and ships a GitHub Action for CI gating.

Why AI agents need verified identity

Chris Bergeron launches username.md, a $9 decentralized identifier (DID) service that lets people cryptographically own a portable, human-readable name for AI agents. He argues verified identity is the missing piece of the Agentic Web: DIDs provide provenance, anchoring, and portability, unlike OAuth-based “Sign in with Google” systems, and prevent both vendor lock-in and Big Tech walled gardens.

The /handoff Skill

The /handoff skill from Matt Pocock's AI Skills for Real Engineers compacts your current conversation into a Markdown handoff document in the temp directory so a fresh agent can pick up the work. It's built for portability, not compression: use it when switching harnesses, moving directories, sending work to a colleague, or forking a side task; otherwise /compact is usually the better move.

Open-source wallet SDK for AI agents

Squid's open-source TypeScript SDK lets AI agents read account context and propose payments or trades, but requires human review and owner-wallet signing before money moves. It supports CLI HTTP and MCP transports, exposes read-only state APIs plus proposal methods, and deliberately blocks signing, approval, and key-export operations.
