    I'm not sure that AI helps us with that last 1%. Just the 99% which is why, instead of having a backlog of 0% projects, we have a backlog of 99% projects. My hope is that we're mor…

    Maybe revenge, but it's a common play to fire a shot across the bow to create leverage in other areas.

    Totally fair argument to make right now. But so funny how this is the opposite movement of "Let me Google that for you".

    > We told Claude Code to block npx using its own denylist. The agent found another way to run it and copied the binary to a new path using /proc/self/root to bypass the deny patter…

    Too many cooks? >.<

    Also on that point about keeping humans in the loop on decisions, I've found following the Research-Plan-Implement process where we humans review at each of those stages, to be rea…

    Yes, plz don't trust it, always review! The idea is that one prompt in Claude Code got you 80% of the way there, but with some automated review/iterate, it gets you 95% of the way …

    Dagu.sh, using yaml files to describe the flow, looks like a nice step up in sophistication from the cook approach that's just trying to make it easy to issue directly from the com…

    Done! @let-it-cook/cli@5.1.0 is out. This works when running loops, but even when you just run `cook "do something"` which itself is not a loop, just a call to your agent.

    Exactly! That's my vibe. https://rjcorwin.github.io

    Good to hear that you're having luck with small models. Note that cook exposes a --model param, also workflow specific model params (--model-work, --model-review, etc) so you can h…

    I would be interested in which stories you are thinking of. Stories of Claude breaking out of the restrictions set in its sandbox or stories of people not configuring Claude's sand…

    That's right. However if you use the v3 operator, you get three parallel versions being built, and then combined depending on which resolver you use (pick, merge, and compare).

    Hey scrappyejoe, way looks pretty cool. The goal of cook is to be unopinionated, exposing primitives for the shape of workflows as opposed to defining what happens in those workflo…

    Your getcook.dev tool has a nice form factor for a coding agent, keeping users out of a TUI, instead staying on the command line. An option I'd be interested in exploring is one th…

    Haha, not far off. Only difference is I'm not spending my tokens at work. I use this on a side project video game that I'm developing.

    Comment #47437093

    To a certain extent, yes it does! For my cases, I'm often running 3 parallel implementations that get 10 to 20 iterations deep, and then Claude has to sort out the pros and cons of…

    By default it's locked down to the permissions you have granted in your Claude config. If you use the docker sandbox mode, then you can really let it fly as it can issue more comma…

    On asking for user input during implementation, it's best to use this when you have a plan sufficiently written up that you can point it to. To prep that plan, you can also use coo…

    Ah sorry about that. I have weird tastes in design. The README.md is less detailed but covers the basics: https://github.com/rjcorwin/cook/

    Oh ya, lots of tools out there orchestrating these days, and just writing a script is a valid option. On the control bit, note that if you `cook init` in your project, it generates…

    This is a fantastic idea and I'll add it!

    Nice! You found the no-code option that just has the outer agent perform the duties of the workflows that cook describes. It's a bit experimental (the whole thing is really), but i…

    Comment #47436884

    That's totally a valid approach! Especially for a very specific workflow you are looking for. For the cases I cover in cook, I had done those patterns enough times that I figured i…
