I got tired of manually checking which agent harness supports what.

So I built the thing I kept wishing existed:

Can I Use, but for agents.

@theo @Jordy_vD_ I’m referencing folders a lot. Agents seem to do well when I say: look over here for patterns.

Started training NottyDuck in simulation for when I get my MicroDuck.
His future job: bother me throughout the day.
First lesson: close the laptop. 🐤💻

Lazy people use agents to avoid thinking.

Obsessive people use agents so they can think about 14 things at once.

Very different disease.

@vultuk 👀 literally the pr i'm looking at right this second in my other browser tab.

MCP is doing an incredible job of turning "call an API" into a sentence that can start a 90-minute architecture meeting.

[jalil @reachjalil]

I love standards because eventually you get to argue about what the word "optional" means with people you've never met.

@luisgnet @yacineMTB this is just scaling laws with more RAM

@benjaminshafii @steveruizok The OAuth-aware MCP gateway can take care of the rest

@benjaminshafii @steveruizok In OpenWork, the only thing you should need to refresh every morning is a good coffee.

MCP is a beautiful reminder that every exciting AI demo is secretly standing on top of a credential management problem.

My ELI5 explanation of MCP:

"Computers can ask other computers for stuff."

That's enough. Go draw a dinosaur. You're fucking five.

[jalil @reachjalil]

I have a goal that sounds ridiculous enough that I usually keep it to myself: rebuild how people use the web. Someone is going to make intent more convenient than navigation. I want to be one of the people who gets there first.

Every hot AI company eventually acquires a very enthusiastic enterprise groupie.

[Salesforce @salesforce]

Marc @Benioff + @DarioAmodei. Live on @CNBCFastMoney.

Watch as they talk Salesforce + @AnthropicAI, the Claudeforce partnership, and what’s next for enterprise AI.

Agents are getting close enough to coworkers that terminating them feels weird now.

Not morally weird.

Just... "damn, he was helping" weird.

[jalil @reachjalil]

I hate being overestimated on arrival. I’d rather get let in quietly and become increasingly inconvenient to underestimate.

[jalil @reachjalil]

@benjaminshafii I would like to formally propose C_i as a vanity metric

[jalil @reachjalil]

kind of love this answer. half of working on agents right now is realizing nobody has the canonical answer yet.

[Matt Pocock @mattpocockuk]

@reachjalil Don't know!

[jalil @reachjalil]

@mattpocockuk do we even need MCP Prompts if Skills exist?

[jalil @reachjalil]

The biggest unlock with agents might be believing the thing is possible in the first place.
