Show HN: Era – Open-source local sandbox for AI agents
Just watched this video by ThePrimeagen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efwDZw7l2Nk) about attackers jailbreaking Claude to run cyber attacks. The core issue: AI agents need isolation.
We built ERA to fix this – local microVM-based sandboxing for AI-generated code with hardware-level security. Think containers, but safer. Such attacks wouldn't touch your host if running in ERA.
GitHub: https://github.com/BinSquare/ERA
Quick start: https://github.com/BinSquare/ERA/tree/main/era-agent/tutoria...

Show HN: MakeSkill – The Intelligent Skill Builder for Claude
Creating high-quality skills for Claude manually is complex, requiring specific technical knowledge of the file system structure (like SKILL.md), YAML metadata configuration, and precise prompt engineering to ensure the agent behaves correctly.
MakeSkill eliminates this friction by automating the technical implementation.
Instead of writing code and configuration files from scratch, users interact with MakeSkill's AI to refine their ideas. The platform then generates the complete, optimized skill package—following all best practices—ready to be downloaded and imported directly into Claude for immediate use.
