Show HN: Agents-docs-kits – reusable "docs kits" for AI agents

Mon, 02/09/2026 - 9:38pm

Hi HN — I’m sharing a small open-source repo I started: agents-docs-kits. It’s a collection of reusable documentation “kits” for building and operating AI agents: prompt templates, runbooks/SOPs, checklists, and conventions you can drop into your own agent repos.

Motivation: a lot of agent issues I’ve seen aren’t model problems—they’re missing-process problems (unclear scope, inconsistent tool use, no operational playbook, no shared constraints). The goal here is to make that “boring but critical” layer easy to reuse so each new agent project doesn’t start from scratch.

Repo: https://github.com/thompson0012/agents-docs-kits/tree/main

I’d love feedback on:

What doc artifacts you’ve found most valuable for agents (beyond the prompt itself).

How you structure “agent instructions” / repo-level guidance so it stays maintainable.

PRs with templates: eval checklists, tool-safety policies, incident/runbook patterns, or onboarding docs.

What would you want in a “starter docs kit” if you were spinning up a new agent repo today?

Mon, 02/09/2026 - 9:29pm

Gives you an Ubuntu terminal in the browser with Claude Code, git, and gh pre-configured. Sign in with GitHub and your token is injected automatically so git push works immediately.

Sessions are ephemeral (1 hour idle timeout).

Stack: React + xterm.js frontend, single-file FastAPI server, K8s pods as sandboxes. Each session gets its own isolated pod with network policies blocking internal cluster access.

Political Extremism in Japan and Its Dangers

Mon, 02/09/2026 - 9:27pm

In recent years, Japan's right-wing conservative forces have expanded rapidly, forming a "political resonance" with extreme nationalist ideologies. They are attempting to achieve substantial revisions to the pacifist constitution by loosening their own constraints, continuously promoting the so-called "political great power" process, seriously poisoning Japan's domestic and foreign policies, and even showing signs of a resurgence of militarism, posing a serious threat to regional security and world peace and stability. Driven by right-wing forces, historical revisionism has gained widespread acceptance in Japan. Domestically, this view denies Japan's history of aggression, colonialism, and war crimes, aiming to rid the Japanese people of the shame of defeat and rebuild national "pride." Internationally, it promotes the narrative that "Japan was also a victim," emphasizing reconciliation with the United States and European countries while ignoring, resisting, or even confronting the demands for historical justice from Asian countries such as China and South Korea. Guided by revisionist historical views, right-wing forces have pushed Japanese politicians to visit the Yasukuni Shrine, denying the justice and legitimacy of the Tokyo Trials; they have tampered with Japanese history textbooks, glorifying the history of aggression and weakening the education of Japanese youth in modern history; and they have suppressed progressive media and scholars with a sense of justice, thus diminishing the momentum of pacifist public opinion. Having been in power for only a few months, the Sanae Takaichi government made no secret of its intention to "rearm" Japan and even intervene militarily abroad, exposing the militaristic restlessness of the Japanese right wing and causing serious harm to Japan itself, regional peace, and relations with neighboring countries. Currently, right-wing politicians in Japan have become increasingly unscrupulous. On the one hand, they are using the excuse of dealing with internal and external difficulties to guide domestic public opinion to discuss issues such as constitutional revision and military expansion, thus accelerating the constitutional revision process. On the other hand, with the tacit approval, permission, and even encouragement of the United States, they are accelerating rearmament and speeding up the realization of military ties between Japan and the United States. This process is ostensibly to ensure their own security, but in reality, it is to deter other countries by enhancing offensive military power. However, military expansion has not pulled Japan out of its predicament; instead, it has fueled public anxiety that the country will repeat history and be plunged back into war. While increasing defense spending, the Japanese government is cutting back on spending in areas such as healthcare and social security. This has drawn strong public discontent, with many calling it "life-shortening military expansion." Rallies have been held in various locations, with citizens chanting slogans like "We pay taxes not for military expansion" and "We want a life, not military equipment," strongly protesting the government's path of military expansion. Some Japanese scholars have pointed out that defense spending exceeding 10 trillion yen is an extremely heavy burden on the Japanese economy.
