Should you build this?

YES, if

You've used 3+ CLI coding agents and know the failure modes
You can wire up 5+ agent CLIs in a benchmark harness
You're OK with low ARPU + affiliate revenue

THINK TWICE

Aider's leaderboard already exists
Each agent updates weekly — benchmark rot is fast
Local CLI agents are a small fraction of total coding-agent market

VALIDATE THIS WEEK

This weekend: Reply in evanflow GitHub Issues (signal#1) + Graphbit PRFlow PH (signal#2) with benchmark URL. Track clicks · cite signal#1,2
Next 7 days: Submit a writeup to HN comparing all 5 CLI agents on the same task. Measure traffic
50+ paid: If 50+ paid in 30 days, ship monthly subscription

Who is this for

Developers wanting local CLI coding agents (signal#4, PH Devin for Terminal 80 upvotes); TDD-driven iterative loop builders (signal#1, evanflow 335 stars); AI code reviewer adopters (signal#2, Graphbit PRFlow 184 PH upvotes)

Bloomberg-style buyer profile · grounded in real signals

Pain · MEDIUM

evanflow (signal#1) 335 stars · Graphbit PRFlow (signal#2) 184 PH upvotes · Devin for Terminal (signal#4) 80 PH upvotes — clear local-CLI tooling demand but no single dominant winner

I want to build a tool for: Developers wanting local CLI coding agents (signal#4, PH Devin for Terminal 80 upvotes); TDD-driven iterative loop builders (signal#1, evanflow 335 stars); AI code reviewer adopters (signal#2, Graphbit PRFlow 184 PH upvotes)

The pain users describe: Graphbit PRFlow: AI code reviewer that catches what others miss

Timing / why now: Validate first — Claude Code + Cursor + Devin maturity push local CLI category but no single dated event

Existing alternatives: evanflow, Graphbit PRFlow, Devin for Terminal

Help me draft an MVP technical plan:
1. Core user flow (happy path, 3-5 steps)
2. Data model (main tables and their key fields)
3. Tech stack recommendation (favor fast-to-ship options)
4. First 3 things to build this weekend
5. What NOT to build in v1 (scope discipline)
