I like to make cool reliable stuff - @entasislabs

Let me show you how good @theseajelly is at context management

@nicky_sap Did my own custom agent @theseajelly using @iroh_n0 for p2p! Running on all my homelab PCs - honestly iroh is the goat

[Tom @theeelevators]

@theseajelly might be rough on the UI but the execution just feels right - this one session has been coordinating changes for itself, another app I'm testing and a rust rendering library I've been working on. 3 projects, one random session just picking up and managing ongoing things

[Tom @theeelevators]

I also don't want to manage agents. I don't know why everyone is building so much towards keeping track of how many agents you got running. I honestly don't care, I should be able to trust the runtime and harness and use the agent's as what they are... reasoning APIs

[Tom @theeelevators]

I see all the new ADEs and I think they are pretty cool, but it’s just not my cup of tea to be so agent-centric. I want the workspace to be smart and let me do agentic work without making me deal with an agent-first system.

The one thing I love about VSCode is that I can have so many different systems in one place. So naturally, I've been spending a lot of time to make @theseajelly feel like the point is me as a user while keeping it agentic.

Sometimes I want to type, write code, take notes. Sometimes I just want to delegate that and then review, and sometimes I just want the agent to handle it for me. I don't want 10 different apps that my agent deals with. I want one place where I can do everything the agent can.

Yeah I am getting a bit addicted to having the agent in a global spotlight.

[Tom @theeelevators]

Big things cooking - @theseajelly 0.12.0 coming soon with better reviews, a global spotlight, and support for more coding agents.

OCEAN is the Big Five personality framework. It gives you language for differences in how people tend to think and behave.

Coordination vectors are about the interaction: how much autonomy the agent should take, how much friction or pushback is useful, how stable versus exploratory the exchange should be, and how explicitly it should reason things through.

Usually express it as:

[stability, friction, logic, autonomy] = [0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5]
This lets the agent understand how to approach things without the "you are X". Reduces the amount of tokens needed to get a desired behavior. It can also infer your 'vibes' with this, well so far it has worked for the last 8 months for me

@leerob Can you just please make it so you can drop an image into the composer on iOS? I hate not being able to screenshot and quickly drop it in chat

[Tom @theeelevators]

@badlogicgames Great for sub agent coordination

[Tom @theeelevators]

@devagrawal09 clawdbot! That way we can go full circle

[Tom @theeelevators]

The agent is not the point

[Tom @theeelevators]

Follow up prompt without leaving what I actually want to see

[Tom @theeelevators]

I always struggle to find ways to demo things so here’s me prompting @theseajelly to start building my portfolio off a note. Spotlight -> action is 🔥

[Tom @theeelevators]

After first pass

@codewithkhalil No schema hurts my soul
