Summary
Gauge has open-sourced its command-line interface, a tool designed to recursively improve documentation for coding agents. The CLI includes a local execution backend, so users can try it without creating an account. According to the Show HN post by Evan from Gauge, the tool supports a hillclimbing loop in which users set up tasks that coding agents would need documentation to complete. The post links to an explainer video, and the project is hosted on GitHub.

What happened
Hi HN, I’m Evan from Gauge. We’re open-sourcing our CLI to recursively improve your docs for coding agents. The CLI includes a local execution backend, so you don't need an account to try it.

Why it matters
Developers who rely on coding agents may be able to test and refine their documentation with a local, open-source tool that requires no sign-up. Teams building documentation for AI agents may find this approach useful for measuring whether docs actually help agents complete tasks. Next steps to watch include how the project evolves and whether users report results from the hillclimbing workflow.
