Description

Users sometimes wonder what files or directories they find on their local PC are good for. If they can't determine from the filename or metadata, there should an easy way to quickly analyze the content and at least guess the meaning. An LLM could help with that, through the use of a filesystem MCP and to-text-converters for typical file types. Ideally this is integrated into the desktop environment but works as well from a console. All data is processed locally or "on premise", no artifacts remain or leave the system.

Goals

  • The user can run a command from the console, to check on a file or directory
  • The filemanager contains the "analyze" feature within the context menu
  • The local LLM could serve for other use cases where privacy matters

TBD

  • Find or write capable one-shot and interactive MCP client
  • Find or write simple+secure file access MCP server
  • Create local LLM service with appropriate footprint, containerized
  • Shell command with options
  • KDE integration (Dolphin)
  • Package
  • Document

      I got slightly distracted and thought about not analyzing files but screenshots so if I find something visually, I can ask the AI in a safe manner what it is. So I've experimented with vision models in ollama and this came out: https://github.com/rsimai/screen-ai. I should focus on files now ...

    Song Search with CLAP by gcolangiuli

    Description

    Contrastive Language-Audio Pretraining (CLAP) is an open-source library that enables the training of a neural network on both Audio and Text descriptions, making it possible to search for Audio using a Text input. Several pre-trained models for song search are already available on huggingface

    SUSE Hackweek AI Song Search

    Goals

    Evaluate how CLAP can be used for song searching and determine which types of queries yield the best results by developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in Python. Based on the results of this MVP, future steps could include:

    • Music Tagging;
    • Free text search;
    • Integration with an LLM (for example, with MCP or the OpenAI API) for music suggestions based on your own library.

    The code for this project will be entirely written using AI to better explore and demonstrate AI capabilities.

    Result

    In this MVP we implemented:

    • Async Song Analysis with Clap model
    • Free Text Search of the songs
    • Similar song search based on vector representation
    • Containerised version with web interface

    We also documented what went well and what can be improved in the use of AI.

    You can have a look at the result here:

    Future implementation can be related to performance improvement and stability of the analysis.

    issuefs: FUSE filesystem representing issues (e.g. JIRA) for the use with AI agents code-assistants by llansky3

    Description

    Creating a FUSE filesystem (issuefs) that mounts issues from various ticketing systems (Github, Jira, Bugzilla, Redmine) as files to your local file system.

    And why this is good idea?

    • User can use favorite command line tools to view and search the tickets from various sources
    • User can use AI agents capabilities from your favorite IDE or cli to ask question about the issues, project or functionality while providing relevant tickets as context without extra work.
    • User can use it during development of the new features when you let the AI agent to jump start the solution. The issuefs will give the AI agent the context (AI agents just read few more files) about the bug or requested features. No need for copying and pasting issues to user prompt or by using extra MCP tools to access the issues. These you can still do but this approach is on purpose different.

    Goals

    1. Add Github issue support
    2. Proof the concept/approach by apply the approach on itself using Github issues for tracking and development of new features
    3. Add support for Bugzilla and Redmine using this approach in the process of doing it. Record a video of it.
    4. Clean-up and test the implementation and create some documentation
    5. Create a blog post about this approach

    Resources

    There is a prototype implementation here. This currently sort of works with JIRA only.


    Backporting patches using LLM by jankara

    Description

    Backporting Linux kernel fixes (either for CVE issues or as part of general git-fixes workflow) is boring and mostly mechanical work (dealing with changes in context, renamed variables, new helper functions etc.). The idea of this project is to explore usage of LLM for backporting Linux kernel commits to SUSE kernels using LLM.

    Goals

    • Create safe environment allowing LLM to run and backport patches without exposing the whole filesystem to it (for privacy and security reasons).
    • Write prompt that will guide LLM through the backporting process. Fine tune it based on experimental results.
    • Explore success rate of LLMs when backporting various patches.

    Resources

    • Docker
    • Gemini CLI

    Repository

    Current version of the container with some instructions for use are at: https://gitlab.suse.de/jankara/gemini-cli-backporter

    Creating test suite using LLM on existing codebase of a solar router by fcrozat

    Description

    Two years ago, I evaluated solar routers as part of hackweek24, I've assembled one and it is running almost smoothly.

    However, its code quality is not perfect and the codebase doesn't have any testcase (which is tricky, since it is embedded code and rely on getting external data to react).

    Before improving the code itself, a testsuite should be created to ensure code additional don't cause regression.

    Goals

    Create a testsuite, allowing to test solar router code in a virtual environment. Using LLM to help to create this test suite.

    If succesful, try to improve the codebase itself by having it reviewed by LLM.

    The Agentic Rancher Experiment: Do Androids Dream of Electric Cattle? by moio

    Rancher is a beast of a codebase. Let's investigate if the new 2025 generation of GitHub Autonomous Coding Agents and Copilot Workspaces can actually tame it. A GitHub robot mascot trying to lasso a blue bull with a Kubernetes logo tatooed on it


    The Plan

    Create a sandbox GitHub Organization, clone in key Rancher repositories, and let the AI loose to see if it can handle real-world enterprise OSS maintenance - or if it just hallucinates new breeds of Kubernetes resources!

    Specifically, throw "Agentic Coders" some typical tasks in a complex, long-lived open-source project, such as:


    The Grunt Work: generate missing GoDocs, unit tests, and refactorings. Rebase PRs.

    The Complex Stuff: fix actual (historical) bugs and feature requests to see if they can traverse the complexity without (too much) human hand-holding.

    Hunting Down Gaps: find areas lacking in docs, areas of improvement in code, dependency bumps, and so on.


    If time allows, also experiment with Model Context Protocol (MCP) to give agents context on our specific build pipelines and CI/CD logs.

    Why?

    We know AI can write "Hello World." and also moderately complex programs from a green field. But can it rebase a 3-month-old PR with conflicts in rancher/rancher? I want to find the breaking point of current AI agents to determine if and how they can help us to reduce our technical debt, work faster and better. At the same time, find out about pitfalls and shortcomings.

    The CONCLUSION!!!

    A add-emoji State of the Union add-emoji document was compiled to summarize lessons learned this week. For more gory details, just read on the diary below! add-emoji

    Background Coding Agent by mmanno

    Description

    I had only bad experiences with AI one-shots. However, monitoring agent work closely and interfering often did result in productivity gains.

    Now, other companies are using agents in pipelines. That makes sense to me, just like CI, we want to offload work to pipelines: Our engineering teams are consistently slowed down by "toil": low-impact, repetitive maintenance tasks. A simple linter rule change, a dependency bump, rebasing patch-sets on top of newer releases or API deprecation requires dozens of manual PRs, draining time from feature development.

    So far we have been writing deterministic, script-based automation for these tasks. And it turns out to be a common trap. These scripts are brittle, complex, and become a massive maintenance burden themselves.

    Can we make prompts and workflows smart enough to succeed at background coding?

    Goals

    We will build a platform that allows engineers to execute complex code transformations using prompts.

    By automating this toil, we accelerate large-scale migrations and allow teams to focus on high-value work.

    Our platform will consist of three main components:

    • "Change" Definition: Engineers will define a transformation as a simple, declarative manifest:
      • The target repositories.
      • A wrapper to run a "coding agent", e.g., "gemini-cli".
      • The task as a natural language prompt.
    • "Change" Management Service: A central service that orchestrates the jobs. It will receive Change definitions and be responsible for the job lifecycle.
    • Execution Runners: We could use existing sandboxed CI runners (like GitHub/GitLab runners) to execute each job or spawn a container.

    MVP

    • Define the Change manifest format.
    • Build the core Management Service that can accept and queue a Change.
    • Connect management service and runners, dynamically dispatch jobs to runners.
    • Create a basic runner script that can run a hard-coded prompt against a test repo and open a PR.

    Stretch Goals:

    • Multi-layered approach, Workflow Agents trigger Coding Agents:
      1. Workflow Agent: Gather information about the task interactively from the user.
      2. Coding Agent: Once the interactive agent has refined the task into a clear prompt, it hands this prompt off to the "coding agent." This background agent is responsible for executing the task and producing the actual pull request.
    • Use MCP:
      1. Workflow Agent gathers context information from Slack, Github, etc.
      2. Workflow Agent triggers a Coding Agent.
    • Create a "Standard Task" library with reliable prompts.
      1. Rebasing rancher-monitoring to a new version of kube-prom-stack
      2. Update charts to use new images
      3. Apply changes to comply with a new linter
      4. Bump complex Go dependencies, like k8s modules
      5. Backport pull requests to other branches
    • Add “review agents” that review the generated PR.

    Uyuni Health-check Grafana AI Troubleshooter by ygutierrez

    Description

    This project explores the feasibility of using the open-source Grafana LLM plugin to enhance the Uyuni Health-check tool with LLM capabilities. The idea is to integrate a chat-based "AI Troubleshooter" directly into existing dashboards, allowing users to ask natural-language questions about errors, anomalies, or performance issues.

    Goals

    • Investigate if and how the grafana-llm-app plug-in can be used within the Uyuni Health-check tool.
    • Investigate if this plug-in can be used to query LLMs for troubleshooting scenarios.
    • Evaluate support for local LLMs and external APIs through the plugin.
    • Evaluate if and how the Uyuni MCP server could be integrated as another source of information.
