SophieBroderickon Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)

I've been working on this for a while now. It creates a sort of AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md table for your database which holds all the joins, definitions, formats, and relationships, as well as what are popular criteria sets and combinations.

And it populates it into a bi-directional visual (round-trip) SQL editor. Make changes in the UI or SQL text, it goes both ways.

It's a single HTML file.

Thank you!

Yes, I agree. Just as we need to check what LLMs produce when writing code, I think this could be a way to check what they produce when trying to write SQL.

I've been working on an new approach to working with SQL: https://5QL.site

You select columns and then just drill down to create further joins. Change the SQL text and it updates the view.

I'm a CS undergrad would love feedback.
