# ziyao233/a1ex > A simple LLM coding agent in Lua that executes tools without sandboxing. Requires isolation in a container or VM due to RCE risk. - Magnitude: 0.1 out of 10 — Quiet - Stars: 2 total · +0 stars on 2026-10-01 (UTC), ≈ 0 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: AI agents · Language: Lua · License: MPL-2.0 · Created: 2026-09-12 · Last push: 2026-09-16 - GitHub: https://github.com/ziyao233/a1ex · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/ziyao233/a1ex ## Useful for - Run the agent in an isolated container for coding task automation - Configure endpoint and API key via ~/.config/a1ex.lua - Install luarocks dependencies to run the agent ## Why it’s here - The repository is 19 days old and already has 2 stars. - Hacker News: “A1ex: A simple LLM coding agent in Lua” — 24 points, 16 days ago. ## Star trust Star growth looks organic. Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer. ## Numbers - Forks: 0 - Issues and pull requests: 0 - Watchers: 0 - Average over the last week: 0 per day - Usual pace: 0 per day ## Stars per day, last 30 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-04 … 2026-11-02: None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None ## Magnitude by day, last 14 days 09-18 0.9, 09-19 0.5, 09-20 0.4, 09-21 0.3, 09-22 0.3, 09-23 0.2, 09-24 0.2, 09-25 0.2, 09-26 0.1, 09-27 0.1, 09-28 0.1, 09-29 0.1, 09-30 0.1, 10-01 0.1 ## Hacker News - A1ex: A simple LLM coding agent in Lua — 24 points, 1 comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49700008 --- Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score. Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast. Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
