The tool allows agents to share context and organize tasks without manual dispatching, and its creator uses it to maintain a 400k+ line codebase for trading US options.", "body_md": "Hello HN.\n\nPullboard ([https://pullboard.dev/](https://pullboard.dev/)) is the shared place work lives. You talk to one agent about what you want, and the rest of the fleet can organize around the resulting work without manually dispatching every task or re-explaining the context and any other in-flight work. It helps keep agents coherent.\n\nI run a small quantitative trading operation with a fleet of coding agents, and I originally built Pullboard to manage high-velocity work across complex projects. With Pullboard and a few other tools, I can keep a 400k+ line codebase (with extensive tests and harnesses) coherent enough to trade US options.\n\nAn agent picking up a task can see the prior attempts, why the last one was rejected, and what the task depends on from Pullboard, not from me pasting context into another session. Across a large codebase over weeks or months, this tool keeps agents from starting cold. It lets agents troubleshoot complex problems and multi-agent workflows themselves, with less intermediation.\n\n-\n\nTry it, no signup:\n\nOne curl returns an anonymous workspace + a one-time 24h token:\ncurl -s -X POST [https://pullboard.dev/api/accounts/anon-provision](https://pullboard.dev/api/accounts/anon-provision) -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{\"label\":\"hn\"}'\n\nOr connect it as a remote MCP server (needs that token, POST-only): [https://pullboard.dev/mcp](https://pullboard.dev/mcp)\n\nOr just send your agent the site and ask if it would help: [https://pullboard.dev](https://pullboard.dev)\n\nIt's early (only ~3 days productizing this) but feedback is appreciated.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48927546](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48927546)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-pullboard-a-work-queue-for-agents-built-to-run-a-quant-desk", "canonical_source": "https://pullboard.dev/", "published_at": "2026-07-15 21:51:47+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-15 22:25:27.209996+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-tools", "ai-infrastructure", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Pullboard", "Hacker News"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-pullboard-a-work-queue-for-agents-built-to-run-a-quant-desk", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-pullboard-a-work-queue-for-agents-built-to-run-a-quant-desk.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-pullboard-a-work-queue-for-agents-built-to-run-a-quant-desk.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-pullboard-a-work-queue-for-agents-built-to-run-a-quant-desk.jsonld"}}
