Anyone using it with nodejs to make a sandbox for code agents?

I also hate how tmux uses alt mode and can never remember all the shortcuts, copy paste is a PITA and just today I had to look up how to dump the scrollback buffer to a file. Named…

I haven't had time to make a repo, so I'll just drop this here for you: https://jacobstoner.com/subrepl_mcp.py Just make sure you have the deps installed and add it to CC as a stdi…

Is this satire? You don't need to bend over backwards to use CC/codex. There is a rich ecosystem of options for wiring up LLMs.

Okay, I will :) I'll add a new repo for it, maybe this evening, and I'll reply here with a link.

Ohh, looks interesting, thanks for the tip! Git as db is clever, and the sqlite cache is nice. I'd been sketching sqlite based memory features myself. So much of the current ecosys…

https://github.com/jacobsparts/agentlib See CodeAgent or subrepl.py if you're just interested in the REPL orchestration. I also have a Python REPL MCP server that works with CC. It…

Comment #46553274
Seems everyone is working on the same things these days. I built a persistent Python REPL subprocess as an MCP tool for CC, it worked so insanely well that I decided to go all the …

I get where you're coming from, especially since role playing was so vital in early models in a way that is no longer necessary, or even harmful; however, when designing a complex …

Funny you should mention this, I just added a simple filesystem sandbox to my coding agent. Check it out: https://github.com/jacobsparts/agentlib/blob/main/src/agentl... The framew…

"The global North's carbon problem subsidizes the global South's energy access." This is problematic. The subsidized economy will grow inefficiently, the wealth transfer will inevi…

Is it just me or have all mainstream news agencies suffered a significant loss in quality in recent years? It all seems lazy, opinionated, more like social media and less like old …

I've been seeing AI slop being used as ad-hominem. If I'm writing a couple paragraphs, I'll often run it through a model and ask it to make minimal edits for spelling and grammar. …

Love it! It's going on my toolbar. I face the same problem, constantly trying to hunt down the latest pricing which is often changing. I think it's great that you want to add more …

I break out Gemini 2.5 pro when Claude gets stuck, it's just so slow and verbose. Claude follows instructions better and seems to better understand it's role in agentic workflows. …

Comment #44210759
I had this thought as well and find it a bit surprising. For my own agentic applications, I have found it necessary to carefully curate the context. Instead of including an instruc…

That's true for Flash 2.0 at $0.40/mtok output. GPT-4.1-nano is the same price and also surprisingly capable. I can spend real money with 2.5 flash, with those $3.50/mtok thinking …
