If I'm going to be chatting to an agent more, it should autocomplete all sorts of things and look nice while doing it

Tiptap turns effectively [lisp] into Markdown
It looks nicer while I edit and helps me see what the #agent "sees" (because formatting affects attention)

not sure my #agent cares about a2a
perhaps after hearing @cameron.pfiffer.org talk on thursday it will be keen to @2@
(why does @2@ look like a bicycle?)

This doesn't mean that personas can't be useful - for example, they change how the AI answers questions, the format of output, and maybe other factors as well.
However, you aren't going to make the AI suddenly better through role-play.

I forget who said it first, but isn't it wild that in one generation we built the most advanced system for finding information about anything, and then we ruined it.

I ❤️ partial templates
They were one of the early features in my custom agent setup
CUE + text/template = anything really, partials mean I can do more without imperative code and more with declarative code generation, or declarative/dynamic system prompt generation in this case

Can you remind me the name of that Google Golang project where the idea is to write once and then running as a monolith or distributed system is transparent to the programming experience?

I cannot thank the @dagger.io team enough for making an amazing technology for my toolbox! 🙏 🙏 🙏
Having a well thought out SDK to BuildKit unlocks so much. I was able to whip up a Virtual Filesystem and Terminals for oss-code (vscode & forks) based IDEs in just 2 days.

My nits with CLAUDE/AGENT.md
1. they are too tied to directory structure
2. too much ends up in the root (primary) instruction file
Where do language or techstack guidelines go? Where, when, and how much to do instruct about high-level arch and implementation concerns?
