usehax.dev (104 points on HN) is a single native MIT-licensed binary that starts instantly on a few megabytes, auto-discovers model and runtime capabilities, and talks to OpenAI-compatible endpoints, Anthropic-compatible endpoints, Codex via ChatGPT subscription, OpenRouter, and llama.cpp. No MCP marketplace, no plugin runtime, no per-command permission prompts. XDG paths, plain-text config, Linux and macOS only. The subtractive design is a pointed comment on where everything else went, and I found it more persuasive than I expected to.
