Working notes
What we're trying, what we measured and what we found, written as we go. Experiments here may never ship; when they do, the changelog says so.
design
fictty: splitting out the layer agents build on
After an agent demo that went badly, we argued through what the layer under our apps should be, what agents actually need from it, and how it talks to them. Then we gave it a name.
research
Are we reinventing something? Mapping 33 tools
Before building more of thc-scene, we had research agents make the best case for every nearby tool, scored them all on one rubric, and wrote down the gap that's actually left, and what to borrow instead of rebuild.
experiment
A terminal UI that is one value
An experiment, thc-scene, makes a whole terminal screen one JSON value that an agent can push, patch, drive and read back while it runs, fed by live data at thousands of updates a second.
