Cognitae open-sources YAML framework for 22 AI agents

Cognitae is an open-source, YAML-based framework for building 22 domain-specific AI agents with strict behavioral constraints. The project is intentionally opinionated, aiming to make agent behavior auditable and less sycophantic while staying model-agnostic across Gemini, Claude, and local frontends that support system prompt injection and modular file uploads.

// ANALYSIS

The YAML-first architecture is the most compelling part because it makes the agents inspectable, editable, and easier to reason about than a giant hidden prompt. The breadth is real for an experimental release, but the obvious tradeoff is that this is token-heavy and highly opinionated, so it seems best suited to power users or researchers.

Taste Skill kills AI "frontend slop"

Taste-Skill is an open-source framework that provides portable "agent skills" to enforce high-end design principles in AI-generated code. By injecting specific design directives and "anti-slop" rules, it enables LLMs to produce editorial-grade UIs that bypass generic, boilerplate-heavy AI templates.
