Birdview (Qiuner, created September 12, 2026, 251 stars, MIT) is an Agent Skill and standalone HTML renderer that maps a project's architecture before an AI agent edits it: evidence-linked modules with stable IDs, a declared activity log of what an agent plans to touch, JSON Schema validation of both, and a self-contained interactive viewer with architecture, changes and side-by-side comparison views. This review covers the two-stage workflow, the data contracts, the activation modes, the genuinely honest boundary that Birdview records declarations rather than observing operations, and the limits of a v0.1.1 project that is still marked private and unpublished to npm.
browser-use-pi (created September 5, 2026, MIT, 265 stars) is the browser-use team's TypeScript web agent built on Pi Mono, a persistent V8 REPL and raw Chrome DevTools Protocol. This review covers the write-JavaScript-not-tool-calls design, the BrowserUse create/run/followUp API, typed results via TypeBox schemas, sessions with saved logins and cloud browsers, the blocking beforeToolCall hook, the repo's own refused-to-spin benchmark table, telemetry defaults, and the honest limits: two API keys, cloud recommended, macOS-only runtime checks, hooks that are not a sandbox.
